>>31255721I mean it's a plot outline rather than a plot itself, but it could easily work. I mean, they're already sympathetic and have understandable goals, especially if you have it so they have a reaction of "I understand why you're trying to stop me, I don't agree with you but you're free to try." Have him replicate the affection mechanic with his own pokemon, where randomly during a battle he might step in and block an attack coming at one of them that'd normally knock it out. I mean, it'd be on a cool down because that hurts like hell, but it's not too different than the advantages the player has with the affection system.
Speaking of which, sylveon and the other eeveelutions would need some kind of buff. Especially espeon and umbreon, they'd need movesets and stats that work well in double battles. I say this because I figure if it was supposed to be a sequel, you'd probably want the chance to fight wes at some point. Especially since he'd probably be a really interesting boss fight, as he was already the kind of person who'd steal people's pokemon for the greater good... as well as blow up his old team's base. He's the perfect candidate for a fight without rules or something. But a full on six v six battle without limits on whom you can target would be rather... bad on hardware, so that's just a pipe dream.
