>>43960143I would love a BOTW style game with monster catching.
Maybe add more to the world, so there's not as much barren fields.
Multiplayer, but not the current interpretation, actual join on a friend co-op.
Propper fishing minigames.
Or cooking that is more than just, throw everything in a pot and swirl the control stick.
Take it a step further. Let players set up proper camps. Say you customize your camp/wagon setup and when you find an open space, you can just set it there and do whatever with your little portable base.
Do you know how comfy it would be, to be able to just sit with friends over discord playing a fishing minigame, while your pokemon just run and idle about?
Don't even make every fish you pick up a fighting fish.
Say you fish up, a single wishiwashi. You just toss it in a bucket and keep fishing. Or toss it back into the water and get a scale or something.
I'd say introduce a new fish pokemon, which literally exists just to eat. Just for the fishing minigame. Collect enough of the smaller fish, and you can use them as bait to call the big fightable version. Or use them as material to eat and cook.
