I've always wanted to see a Nordic themed Pokemon game. Not expecting GameFreak to ever deliver and might be interested in channeling some of my autismo towards that. I'll use this thread for asking advice and since I don't want to waste a thread on that. Maybe your ideas can help some more active modders as well to create a game that won't be complete horseshit.
What do you think about naming areas? For example, Scandinavic names don't sound very good in the "X Town/City/Village" format. Is it ever fine to just have a single word for the name of the city? What kind of names are the best for areas in Pokemon games?
How would you personally fix the type match-ups? Let's face it, gen VI still has some balance issues. Bugs are a joke type, Ice is a bit too bad defensively and Fairy is slightly overpowering. I like attempts at fixing balance and making some commons more useful.
Regions. I personally like what GS did. What is the maximum amount a single game can hold and how should they be balanced? I think the GS format works, but I've seen some people want to try the "fresh start" version. This seems hard to implement, unless you can expect the player to take on the challenge consciously.
I don't remember seeing a mod doing this, but I think you could have separate boxes for the regions and "unlock" free use for all boxes after completing the main storyline. If you wanted to force the challenge.
Those are probably my main concerns in modern modding. How well the region and Pokemon mesh out. Not every author is going to have the autismo to script out all the fun extra fluff GF has come out with over the years.
