I had an idea for something to put in a romhack and was curious how people feel about it. Here's a quick mockup of UI ideas, but I was wondering how it'd feel to put in something halfway between Pokemon Snap and PLA's research objectives where you take pictures of pokemon doing certain things.
>take a picture of X pokemon
>take a picture of X pokemon getting hit by Y-type attack
>take a picture of X pokemon using a certain attack or type of attack
>take a picture of 2 X pokemon (initiate double battle)
>take a picture of a critical hit
>take a picture of X pokemon with Y status condition
>take a picture of X pokemon in Y weather condition
Stuff like that. The window to check for conditions being completed would probably be the entire turn just so that you don't have to have strict timing on short events or if you have animations turned off. Also put a hard limit on how many pictures you can take per battle and only like one per turn. Might be easier to just make it automatic. I cant' imagine that it'd be TOO hard of a feature to implement, but I am curious if anyone would even want to do it.
I personally like it because I like non-battling progression being in the games. Though you're still technically getting into battles, but you won't need to finish them. Still trying to think of what that progression would look like aside from reporting your pictures through the PC system and getting valuable items like XP candies and such so that you could still be gym ready if you spent your time photographing stuff instead.
