>>18903793If this itself ain't good enough, then lets add in the ability to dive anywhere thats at least three tiles from the shore, complete underwater map of the world, and different items washing ashore each day, while washing the others away. Pearls, gold, pokeballs, potions, it would be a great way to encourage exploration, especially if you could only find some pokemon while diving, like chinchou, clampearl, or corsola.
Maybe also having the remakes be a single game, where you first few choices in it dictate what storyline the game follows. That could be super interesting.
Maybe a new game + that has an alternate storyline with higher level pokemon, and battle maison-tier bullshittery for normal battles, that would really spice things up for everyone. Maybe even going as far as the new game + starting where your game ended previously, and you team up with your old player to take down whichever team is going at it. That would be a first.
>>18903866Could work, or maybe instead of one town, there could be multiple that sell/trade boards when you have enough badges, that way the game could be less linear. Or maybe after some point in the game
Cynthia gives you a basic board that has no gimmicks other than plain surfing, then you get the other two/three boards from a shop(s), and you can get a third/fourth from
Cynthia after you beat her after beating the E4 and unlocking the national dex.
