>>11968542Do you really have to be with a project since it was first given life for it to be appealing? There's a lot that needs to be done for a game besides coming up with ideas. If you guys aren't willing to put in the effort in those areas too, this is going to fail.
The boring things like finalizing the story/characters/etc. and designs for not only Pokemon, but trainers and the world have to be done at some point or another. After finalizing those there are still trainer/overworld sprites, battle and menu sprites as well as custom tilesets that need to be done.
For the Pokemon alone,each of them needs to be named and given appropriate types/evolution methods, cries, stats and movesets. Even with those done they still have to be compared with the rest of the dex and balanced out. Most of the music will probably be redone also, and even with all this there's still the issue of scripting.
If you guys only want to play around and come up with ideas/mon don't bother trying to make a game.
