>>37647050Yeah, good point. They would definitely have to do something about the levels/gym, although they've been trying to get rid of the gyms since SM/USUM. Not sure what exactly they could do with an open world, since Pokemon has been constructed very linearly and the Japanese devs generally are known for being more accostumed to building a linear experience rather than an open world one (apparently, some of the Japanese developers were even amazed with the concept of Skyrim and stated that it seemed impossible to do a game like that under the Japanese perspective), would like to know what ideas you would have for an open world Pokemon though.
>>37647062The creator behind the fangame said he's trying to make it more elder scrolls esque, though the line is cringy, now that you mention it.
>>37647071The game does have an interesting concept, it just seems like a mess, especially with a GBA-tier map.
