>>54896544Basically make the edgy thread's dream game. SMT style.
(you) fight with pokemon, but pokemon are treated like the demons (he is useful, so I'll use him for a while). SMT 1/2 mechanics here.
Fight wild pokemon, fight humans, fight even mechas and tanks (remember, pokemon humans are built different).
The choices are Order (Law), Anarchy (Chaos), or the obvious Neutral.
Your choices are either become the dictadorship's lap dog, or go wild and turn the region into Bagdad circa 2008.
Or, renounce both, follow the path of balance, and reconnect humanity with pokemon.
The Cathedral of Shadows will be replaced by a crazy scientist that FORCES evolution on your pokemon, as long as you bring him materials and money.
You can fight mano a mano, equip weapons, or learn techniques (imagine a normal human throwing an Aura Sphere).
You don't get pokeballs, only the dictadorship, so the only way to get pokemon is to convince them to join you, and even then, it may not work.
It will be filled with some small references to both classic pokemon (what's an "American"?), and SMT (Move to Kichikoji? Where's that?).
And if you find some specific collectibles, you'll get the secret dungeon:
you'll be teleported to Micon City, at the 8th floor of the Daedalus Tower, that is filled with Demons, not pokemon, and better get comfy because you won't leave until you reach the bottom, and kill the minotaur.
