>>33744323>>33744323First off, the story: I've decided I want the story to have a bit of darker tones to it, but nothing edgy. Think Earthbound -- overall, the game is fairly childish, but there's a few dark moments every here and there.
Right now, I have it set where rather than playing as a child on his first Pokemon adventure, you're a rookie officer joining the police force in a region based around California, Nevada, and other neighboring areas. I think this allows for a bit more of adult themes and darker moments, but I don't want to do anything edgy. No (explicit) death, guns, etc. Maybe a cigar on a character at most.
The designs: I've been drafting designs over and over again with a few friends and my younger sister. I don't really have much more to say about this other than I'm very picky about good design.
Anyway, to finish off this post, I said this game would be based around California/Nevada/etc. One of the areas included in this game would be the La Bera Tar Pits, and there, you can find a regional variant of Pyroar. Included this picture is a rough draft of what we might be doing for the design, by my aforementioned younger sister. His mane is in the shape of the kanji for "ground" rather than "fire" -- this was honestly part of what sold me on the design.
