>>57378478With this thread's OP image showing Poké Floats, an abstract Stage. I feel like giving an idea for another abstract Pokémon Stage.
How about a Stage based on the battle Environments from the main games? As in the idea of battle Environments themselves, these places where Pokémon Battles happen.
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EnvironmentI'd specifically go with the ones from gen 6. It'd randomly select from a few of them. All the variants have the same collision, a flat stage with that goes off the left and right sides the camera allowed area. At the start each Fighter is even their own platform on the stage, like how each Pokémon is given their own platform in the main games. Various Pokémon will show up as Stage Hazards to use Moves that set up Entry Hazards, cause Weather, cause Terrain, that are Trapping Moves and Binding Moves. Also Defog too.
>>57381218This is another nice one for a Stage. Also abstract which I like. That would be the first Stage based of a Pokémon spin-off. I'd like to know the gameplay of your idea.
