I'm thinking about making a pokemon game consisting of the first 5 regions all in one game, using either Gamemaker Professional or VX Ace. What are some features that would make it better as compared to current pokemon games? I was thinking this:

I figured raising the Level cap wouldn't hurt all that much, since pokemon have base stats to go off. It's not hard to balence the game honestly. Hell, I could make it to where you could fight any gym in the region in any order.

>>17231239 Four starter slots that are somewhat randomized.
Slot A should randomize a Grass Starter
Slot B randomizes a Fire Starter
Slot C randomizes a Water Starter
Slot D randomizes other interesting starters that don't stray from Pokemon lore;
I.E; Pikachu, Zubat, Poocheyena, Eevee
So when the player starts the game, he could be given the choice of say, Bulbasaur, Chimchar, Totodile, or Purrloin, for example.
Just an interesting thought to mix things up, and make Starter choosing even more difficult.

To accomodate this you might want to just do away with the whole "pokemon over a certain level won't obey you" thing, or you're going to have issues with badges only letting pokemon 5 levels higher than previous obey trainers and people are gonna overlevel EVERYTHING and not be able to play.

Code gyms so that they're at a set level the first time through for a traditional experience, then anytime after the game should detect what level range you're in and scale the leaders to be a challenge with new teams/moves and higher levels.
And now that I'm thinking on it, it would be a great idea to have a MUCH greater presence of double and triple battles throughout the world, unlike the games where they're extremely rare. They're a fun mechanic and it would shake up the monotony of a typical run of a game, especially when this one would be so long.
Might even be fun to include some kind of challenge gyms for after a regions respective champion, something like Misty and Blaine in a double battle. Makes it difficult to prepare for as none of their weaknesses really cross over and they can typically cover each others. Just thinking out loud here. I've got a million and one ideas on fun/good things to do so pardon me if I sound off often.

Trainers must travel the world and obtain badges from all the gyms to qualify, then after they've obtained all badges, they can challenge the Elite 4 of each region subsequently to obtain some kind of regional badge, thus allowing them to challenge the champions in an Elite 4 style gauntlet. Face off against Lance, Steven, Cynthia and Alder, topped off with a Grand Battle against your Rival for the Grand Champion title of the world. I think that would make things much easier, and it would provide an AMAZING challenge for the end of the game.

Also it would allow you to rest/heal in between and prepare your team, which would be needed for multiple champions. I'd play it out as all Badges in one regions > Repeat 4 times > Elite 4 circuit for regional Badge of Honor > Grand Tournament against 4 champions in sequence > Final round against Rival. That way it plays out structurally and you get to face off against all the regional champs as well.

I am interested in how you plan to balance so many regions, and potentially let you pick your starting location. You can very easily get to level 50-60 on a single region, so making everything continue to fit that scale would be hard.

And as for the scaling, the general thought through the thread seems to be to increase the xp needed to level up by quite a bit so you level up slowly, and the level differences across the region are a very slow build. LIke the first gym would be level 7 or something, and the third would be level 11. Otherwise there would be about one or two normal regions and then the rest would all be max level. If you do the slow advance route then you can make it a very long rise to top level by the time you hit Elite 4 and are at near max level, making the final challenges all about strategy rather than levels.

I'd suggest not raising the level cap, instead, use the Battle Test system for gyms.

If you make it a steady climb in levels then you can make a whole world circuit and carry the story along the whole way. My suggestion was to have the main circuit be all around the regions to obtain all the badges, then you'd make a circuit of Elite 4's to obtain regional badges of honor, which would culminate in a grand tournament against the 4 champions, topped off with a battle against your rival. By the time you hit the Elite 4's you'd be max level so there would be no powering through them, only strategy to carry you, and even more-so with the champions.

Unless you're trying to say that you should be able to level as high as you want and then gym battles just scale your pokemon back to 50? Because when you said the player should be capped at 50 I took that as the classical definition of level cap and interpreted it as "Until you beat all the gyms you can't level past 50", which would make a circuit of 42 gyms extremely monotonous and difficult in some cases without any level up moves past 50. Some pokemon wouldn't even be able to evolve fully.

>>17235342 If you go the slow leveling approach, you may want to play around some with TM/HMs. Instead of leveling up to learn new moves, you get a lot of TMs in each town, or scattered about, maybe behind tough trainers. If you have the ability, you may can make some new ones, all together. Maybe even tweak when moves are leanred, and which pokemon can learn which moves (naturally or by TM) Or make items like Calium more affordable, or have trainers give you them instead of cash sometimes, so that you can raise your team in other ways. I like the slow leveling idea, but you also want to be able to customize and tweak your team. I have no idea how to code anything outside of statistical stuff, so I don't know how doable any of that is, rally

>>17231239 How will you handle level scaling? Is difficulty decided on badge count? Like say you have 8 badges and go to any other area. Will everyone have lv 60+ pokemon. Then say you get 4 more badges from another region will they go up to lv 80+ along those lines?
Also is there a specific order in which you need to beat regions from your home town? Like could I go from Kanto to Hoenn or would I have to get there from another area like Johto.
Lastly can you just pick up and go to another area and collect badges even if you don't have all 8 of one area. Like get 3 badges in kanto then decide you want to go and get some badges in Johto ect.

I've seen a lot of comments about the evil teams, so i figure i should give my two cents. I think it would be neat to keep all of the bad guy teams in it, but they all are kind of against each other. I'm kind of imagining N being all "Pokemon should be free" and Giovanni comes in like "WTF is wrong with you" while aqua and magma teamed up, seeing that both of their bullshits would end the world.

N - Pokemon Liberation
Giovanni - Pokemon are Profit
Magma - Water Sucks
Aqua - Earth Sucks
Cyrus - Destroy everything create a new world and become God
I could see N,Giovanni,and Cyrus in a Mexican standoff. Cyrus would trash talk Giovanni for being small minded. Giovanni would trash talk N for being...N? N would preach that everyone shouldn't fight with pokemon by using pokemon to fight them.

>>17236468 I don't think it would. The main issue currently is what do we do about move learning.
>>17236474 I absolutely love the idea of having all the evil teams in one game competing against each other, and maybe having a showdown at the end. I'm going to bed, I highly recomend you take any ideas you have to the forum.

>>17236474 Since you are thinking of having aqua and magma team up maybe give them a new name for it. Maybe something based around fossils as those are created mostly by volcanic ash or water covering things. They could be the ones buying stolen fossils from team rocket.

>>17231239 I'm too lazy to read the whole thread because I'm gonna sleep soon, but if here's something to consider if no one else has mentioned this:
The problem with an idea like this is poor level-scaling when new regions. My idea is to restart each region with a new set of Pokemon. (This also discourages just super-training 1 team.) The old Pokemon will be kept in the PC and will be inaccessible in the region until its Elite 4 is beaten.
If the player decides to leave the region before beating the Elite 4 and continue the region later, any Pokemon obtained in that region would be left in the PC and restricted access similar to how the old Pokemon would be restricted, but the old Pokemon would become available again. This would allow the player to leave the new regions at any time if he/she wanted to use the old Pokemon for battling, missed post game, or any other reason. Or, maybe allow the new region's Pokemon to leave the region for training, but only allow those Pokemon to return until the Elite 4 is beaten?

you should make the Team do bad things for good ideals, the true evil mastermind should be the professor. After defeating the Team the MC will know they were trying to stop the professor's evil plans of world conquesting, or some other shit, and all the MC has done until that moment was for that purpose

>>17240748 your idea gave me an idea. as opposed to making the pokemon completely inaccessible in separate regions, try to work it like obedience. I.E. in other games, as you get badges, the level pokemon obey you at continues to raise. in our game, after the first badge, you can access PC mons from other regions up to level 10, the second badge could be up to 17 or something (to discourage the player from taking their whole old team out before the E4, but maybe raising a different regional bird, or continuing to train a pokemon they previously took off their team for whatever reasons. I'll post this on the official thread OP made, but I figured I'd post on here first.

>>17243332 I'm thinking Post-RSE Archie and Maxie may be able to put their differences aside. The rapid climate changes (in Emerald) started some natural disasters (tornadoes, tsunamis)They've seen what their obsessions brought which has changed how they see the world. Whether they're still criminals who refuse to cross the line, or good guys, now working under the Devon corporation with Steven as their boss, I think it would be neat to see a change in the bad guys for once (correct me if it's happened before besides the weird N thing)

You really need scale this back if you want to complete it within a reasonable human lifetime. One region, no crazy frills, and make some way to evolve trade-only Pokemon. Oh, and learn to script in Ruby.

>>17231239 I feel the affection mechanic would make the online competitive mode a whole lot deeper and make having your pokebros love you more rewarding then just being useable in game. Nothing better than the feeling of having a fatal move miss your pokemon because it is in sync with you or Shaking of status because it loves you that much. It seems more realistic they way... or as real as a game about pocket monsters can get

I hope OP A) knows how to program and B) has friends, because a colossus like this needs a cohesive team, not just anonymous people featuredumping on 4chan. I still think it'd be better to scale back to something simpler.
