I think it would be fun to make my own Pokemon game. Not a "True" game but an RPG that involves training Pokemon, maybe recruiting them like fire emblem or suikoden. The idea spawned when me and a freind were talking about how cool it would be to have a pokemon game from a team perspective, (we are OG so this team of course is Team Rocket) I can't help but let ideas run so I'm starting to develop plans for this little fan game. You start as a grunt in team rocket's third Reich. You hear that the regions professor has received a new shipment of rare Pokemon (The starters) and you are part of the squad that is going to steal it. The opening of the game involves you being briefed on the new starters (so you know which one you want to pick) while riding in a helicopter with the rest of the grunts. You all bust in swat team style, knock out all the scientist and start loading the package with the starters into the helicopter when you are attacked by some officer jenny's. You take one of the Pokemon to defend yourself and another one of the grunts takes one (He takes the Pokemon that yours is strong against) You escape and go back to base (We get a quick scene of the professors grandson showing up at the wreckage, he takes the last Pokemon and swears vengeance against Team Rocket...) You and your Pokemon are brought to Giovanni, he assigns you and your friend with the task of infiltrating the Pokemon league. Your going to masquerade as a regular trainer catching Pokemon, earning badges, etc. Between badges (where in a normal game you would be fighting the team) you are called to do various missions as a team rocket member and work your way up through the ranks of team rocket eventually becoming Giovanni right hand man. You beat the elite four, the champion, and ALL THE SHIT GOES DOWN!!! Team rocket storms into the league and...(Even though It will probably never be finished I dont like to tell endings to pet projects)

How about instead of catching pokemon since your not an official trainer you dont have access to the PC system, pokeballs, etc, so Team Rocket has developed "Theif Balls" instead of catching wild pokemon you steal them from other owners after defeating them

I was thinking of using near 150 pokemon and basically cobbling together a "greatest hits" of all the games and have it take place in an original region The games all seem to follow the same formula for how many different pokemon they make The best "Pidgey" The best "Ratta" team Rocket missions include wrapped versions of classic parts of games. Instead of just getting one, you steal and Eevee from bill Storming the Safari zone and just mowing down all the security Oh yeah, this game is going to be PG-13 Team rocket is not fucking around, they are using guns and just taking what they want

Oh, and instead of the classic Grass Fire Water starters... Bug Psychic Fighting Suck it...

>>12014754 Bug resists fighting though.
Dark Psychic Fighting would somewhat work.

Man Bug types are AWESOME

>>12014770 also, dark is a little too good against psychic, i got mixed up because fighting and bug resist eachother. Think it would break to much letting Fighting be strong against bug?

>>12014809 Fighting's already the best offensive type and incredibly common because of the massive improvements they got in gen 5.
If they become strong against bug genesect and scizor become almost utterly worthless and most bugs fall quite a way southward after finally gaining relevance in gen 5.

>>12014867 Agreed, I'm working on a new triangle now, the problem with bugs is that there are very few Good bugs with 3 evolutions

Then again. I mean, I'm making the game, It's not like balance is going to be that important, maybe could make fighting the "Bulbasaur" of the game, like "hey, want things a bit easier?" or go the other way and make the first gym a ghost gym

Hell who says it has to be a triangle, instead of poke balls they are shipping eggs from kanto, your starter is going to be a baby pokemon Magby, Eleckid, and Happiny All 3 evolutions, all have final evolutions with the same stats,

Also, The champion is going to be Bill's Son, using a team of all Eeveelutious, he will be using all the ones except for what you turned your Eevee into

>>12016115 assuming that you start with normal moves, i dont think thats a good idea as ghost types are immune to normal moves
Anonymous
>>12016175 yeah but youll get at least one elemental move, and I'm going to mix up what types are avilble so you'll be able to get something to do it. I dont want any starters to have an advantage over others

>>12016226 aah ok, just a misunderstanding on my part, another idea could be using fire instead, that eliminates typing issues, also fits with the idea of darker with fire being seen as offensive.

>>12016313 sneasel twice? you could swap the first one with something like houndoom or zorua/zoroark, everything else looks pretty decent, shame ghost is first gym though.

>>12016382 yeah I just noticed that,changing it right now
I want this to be the "Anti-"Pokemon game,

>>12016444 if you want it to be anti-pokemon, you could make it so at the beginning you defeat the "good" pokemon, then the rest of the world becomes darker and people start battling each other for much more grim reasons.

Okay worked out some more details, I think Ive gotten the comprehensive list of pokemon want in the game. Just over 100 species No legendaries yet. the starters are Magby and Eleckid, you grab one and then the other Rocket Goon grabs the other. The one thats left over for the professors grandson to get is a Munchlax and he will be your rival though the game. The other thug will have his own plotline that I'm still trying to figure out.

>>12016548 munchlax would be strange, the other two wouldnt be able to fully evolve. are you stopping magby and eleckid from evolving into electrivire and magmortar on purpose?
Anonymous
>>12016607 No, i'm just going to make them evolve by level up. Then handwave for all this is that team rocket does a bunch of experiments on your pokemon and makes them different then pokemon of the same species from the rest of the world.

>>12016641 aah genetic modification, i like the sound of this

>>12016709 Its going to be a simple game, short, just a few hours, nothing to complex, i want it to be more plot driven

>>12016829 which region are you going to base this in?

>>12016884 An original one of my own creation, Govonni took the remnants of team rocket halfway around the world to evade the law.
It is a dirty, darker region, looser laws, higher crime rate,
