>>52920730>How do you cultivate an experience that makes people want to play again, or one that can be played again but was satisfying the first time around?Pokémon as a franchise has already the foundation for replayability simply because you there are a lot of combinations when it comes to the team you'll be using throughout the game, or just picking a different starter. Whole reason why people like open world games though isn't specifically because you can walk anywhere, but moreso that you don't have to follow a particular path. Being able to challenge gyms/missions in a different order and have the game accommodate it by changing up their teams depending on what the player has accomplished up to that point would already shake things up a bit.
If you can also fits dialogue choices that affect relationships or in what direction the plot will go, that too will add another layer of replayability.
>>52920787>"I landed confusion, now you have a good chance to get BTFO every turn"I wouldn't be opposed to this on principle, but this can definitely become more of an eyesore for the player despite the tactical layer of it. Also would require you to assign confusion values to each and every move.
