ITT: Change the way normal pokemon works forever. I'll start.> pokemon is supposed to be about exploring a world & getting lost in dungeons, so I'd make it zelda-like, the 2d top-down classic zelda type. > vast world to explore > classify caves into 2 groups: caves & caverns. >> caves are for connecting 2 places occasionally, and caverns are like mt. mortar or mt. silver in the sense that they go nowhere and are meant for what's inside: strong trainers, rare pokemon, valuable items, and the possibility of legendaries. >> caves are pre-made like normal, but caverns are randomly generated, like in mystery dungeon. > wild combat in overworld or in dungeons doesn't take you out of the world, and it's not turn based, either. you see a pokemon & you hold a button to open your cast menu >> the cast menu is like weapon select in ratchet & clank, where time goes at half-speed while you select your pokemon. the pokemon is sent out, and you resume at normal speed. > you now take full motion, action, and attack control over your pokemon while your trainer follows slowly from behind. the pace of the battle is entirely dependent on your skill & the enemy you're facing. think like the binding of isaac, but each pokemon has each of its own 4 moves mapped to 4 buttons. yoou have to navigate and dodge while attacking the enemy & defending your trainer. > defending the trainer takes priority. if your pokemon faints, you go back to a pokecenter and heal it, no biggie. but the TRAINER has his own health bar, and he's WEAK. he's fast alone, but when one of his pokemon is fighting, he tags along slowly. > if trainer runs out of hp, you get sent back to the last pokecenter you used, and your wallet is halved. this is really bad because in this game, money would be pivotal due to the ammount of healing items used while navigating the difficult dungeons.

Honestly, OP, it sounds pretty neat for the most part though. Could be good as a side game, but I will never want pokemon to not be turn based.
Seeing the Wild Area in action just reminds me how far we are from a full immersive pokemon experience. The effort is too much for GameFreak (for animations and other assets), and it'll take a while for a new IP to take pokemon's place. Your idea is cool, but it's not currently feasible to be executed the way you want to with the Pokemon franchise unless you're willing to severely limit the number of actual pokemon in it.

>>42425949 >>42425962 As much as I enjoy the turn-based formula of Pokémon battles, and while I understand all of the upsides it brings, I think a real-time action RPG with dungeon-crawling elements would be really fun, and it would be a great way for players to use bad mons that they love and not necessarily be pressured into using something different. Thumbs up.
>>42426200 >>42428000 Thumbs down. You understand no one would be able to see this until they clicked on this thread and just decide not to leave a reply, right? That's just sad. You don't need to beg for someone to see your concept. There's always some guy in the world doing something. You'll be found soon enough.

>>42425949 Eh, fuck it, I'll post this even though I was planning on doing a thread for it later. Basically take a similar system of the more recent DQM games with the size slots, where the larger your size, the higher your stats will be, though you take up more space on the team, traits that act as abilities, resistances, ranks, and alternate form mons get to be seperate mons entirely, where synthesis becomes an integral part of the game, you have different item types that can change the way your attacks work, you have Attack/Defense/Agility/Wisdom alongside HP and MP for stats, a monster can learn any move they wish but must have the right skillsets to do so, different family types that become the 'typings' of the game, and some other things like that. Definitely not the best idea, but I feel it would be interesting

Alright, lets go over these.> pokemon is supposed to be about exploring a world & getting lost in dungeons, so I'd make it zelda-like, the 2d top-down classic zelda type. > vast world to explore > classify caves into 2 groups: caves & caverns. >> caves are for connecting 2 places occasionally, and caverns are like mt. mortar or mt. silver in the sense that they go nowhere and are meant for what's inside: strong trainers, rare pokemon, valuable items, and the possibility of legendaries. >> caves are pre-made like normal, but caverns are randomly generated, like in mystery dungeon. > wild combat in overworld or in dungeons doesn't take you out of the world, and it's not turn based, either. you see a pokemon & you hold a button to open your cast menu

>>42435691 what's so strategy-stripping of my conceppt? (looking to improve it)
the moves and their effects are still there and you can only have 4 pre pokemon. the different effects and styles would encourage players to think about better or worse moves.

>>42435880 Action RPGs by their nature are not strategic. Its not the four moves or the lack of them, it's the fact combat always has you moving in one way or another. When constant movement is a factor, strategies mean nothing when it all comes down to movement. Yes you can prepare for a particular battle ahead of time but that does not change the fact that the player skill moves from type advantages to dodging and moveset memorization.

>>42435939 but the type matchups still being there wouldn't force players to strategically switch pokemon?

Pokémon is now a monster hunter game, and the dex is split into 10-20% fightable large Pokémon, the other 80-90% are captured like in monster hunter world only you find them in their natural habitat and must play a bit of a real time mini game to capture them, and are used as Felyne like partners, as in one at a time, who have unique abilities based on stats, typing, and of course shill status that can passively or actively aid you. >super effective moves stagger more, recoil less, slice / pierce better, have extra affinity and don’t reduce sharpness on hard points

>>42435993 Not when you can outright negate any and all possible damage with movement and dodging.

>>42436016 i see. i always enjoyed a concept like that, allowing the truly skilled to overcome the odds, but i guess it might not be fun to play against, especially against superspeeders like sceptile.
