>>33044928I have two ideas:
1. Maybe some kind of Battle Armor similar to Mewtwo in the First Movie. Pokemon get an extra boost in power and defences, maybe even a new ability.
2. Something called "Astral Forms" based on Astral Projection.
How it works is that certain Pokemon obtain new forms when they're sent out on to the field while a new surge-like ability is active. I called it "Astral Warp". Each form is based on a constellation from both western and eastern cultures.
For Example:
>Pyroar astral form is based on the Leo constellation, Drapions astral form is based on the Scorpio constellation, Dragonites astral form is based on the Draco constellation, etc. But the gimmick behind these forms, is that each Pokemon who has an Astral Form gain a new temporary type in the Cosmic or Astral type. So from the above examples: Pyroar would become Fire/Cosmic, Drapion would become Poison/Cosmic, and Dragonite would become Dragon/Cosmic.
They also gain new abilities, boosts to certain stats and a new temporary type. Think of it as a half way Mega Evolution without taking up an item slot. The Astral Forms go away, when Astral Warp is no longer on the field.
Also the series, seems to be shifting focus off world things now, so this could be a good way to introduce that.
There. Just introduced a new type, playing style, and gimmick.
