>>38580841Playing Let's go! Eevee made me wonder what an real open world pokemon game would feel like. And how it could work.
I imagined something like Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I just found this fanmade, very small Picture of Pokemon in Breath of the wild and it made me immediately feel like "Gimme that now". Imagine Botw, only as a pokemon Trainer, without weapons but pokemon. You can get damaged or knocked out by wild pokemons if you don't fight or dodge when you're not currently using a pokemon to fight it.
The pokemon fights could be like Breath of the Wild Bow Mechanic in terms of throwing: Aim, throw pokeball and some sort of command menu to say "follow" "Attack" or "Passive". If your pokemon attacks they will fight on the overworld, allowing you to freely move while they fight, giving fight commands per command menu. If you want to take your pokemon back into your PokeBall you just aim and press the "Retrieve Pokemon" button and you beam it back into your pokeball.
Catching pokemon would be the same. Aim, throw and pray. If the pokemon is too strong you have to weaken it and then try to catch it while it's hurt. Giving an open world, pokemon could flee the fight and you can try to follow up until they disappear on a logic pattern (Pidgeot flies away, ratata burrows itself in a rabbit like hole and so on)
Traveling across the open World would be fun too. Riding a bike, flying on a Charizard or riding on a Rapidash through an Breath of the wild esque big overworld, filled with pokemons, different regions and towns on your way to catch them all and be the best trainer in the world. Maybe have that one special companion like Pikachu or Eevee in Let's go! But you can choose any pokemon you want to be That Pokemon.
i would also like to say pokemon emerald is the best game in the series
