Next Pokemon RPG's: what would you like to see in them.

[ANImaniac89]

I know its a little early seeing as how Black and White just came out in the states less then 2 weeks ago. but I started thinking since a new set of core Pokemon RPG's have been announced in development for the 3DS, What would be cool to see added to the next games.

I would personally like to see:

The Ability to have rematches with every NPC trainer, but have them level up in between matches.

The Ability to join up with the villein team.

Also multiple endings based on in game choices.

Customizable main character including: age, gender, skin color, clothing, and other aspects of physical appearance.

More posted Elite four content.

Oppositional Gyms (kind of like the fighting gym from R/B/Y/FR/LG)

Anyone else have any ideas?

 

[Who Dares Wins]

The Ability to join up with the villein team.

You will see this option when some other dev takes over Pokemon. Gamefreak will NEVER do it.
OT: Single player coop with your real friend playing the in-game friend would be pretty cool.

 

[Mana Fiend]

Two main features I'd like to see implimented:

The ability to both withdraw and deposit pokemon into boxes on one menu, instead of having to move in and out of seperate menus.

The chance to swap out a pokemon you just caught with one in the party. So sad I had a Bliztle and just caught a Pidove, I could replace Blitzle with Pidove, and move Blitzle to my pokemon box.

It would just save a lot of time.

 

[Fidelias]

I'd like to have a Pokemon game where you can catch every pokemon. Make some harder to get, and you still have to trade for Machamp and stuff like that. But make them all available.

Also, it would be cool if you could actually take the spot of gym leaders you beat. Maybe be able to customize your gym a little. Also have random npc's challenge you for the title every couple of days. Also do this for the Elite Four and Champion. That would be awesome!

 

[VincentX3]

Having all the regions in a single pokemon game, you must defeat the elite 4 in that region in order to be able to travel to the next.

Maybe being able to choose a starter town (Pick a region to start in) so if anyone wanted to start with a Charmander they would have to pick Pallet town as a starting point or if anyone wanted a Cyndaquil they would have to start in the Johto region.


One can dream I guess...

 

[ANImaniac89]

I would also like to see more story driven games, with better more well-rounded villeins (Team Plasma was a good start).

More epic scale side quests.

Making Missingno a real Pokemon: they could have it be the result of a failed Pokemon transferring experiment.

More Urban based regions (I like the look and layout of Uniova)

More Eevee Evolutions.

Have Battles with Roaming legendaries last three rounds instead of only one before they flee

ALSO WHY THE FUCK IS IT THAT IN ALL OF THE POKEMON GAMES IS THEIR ONLY ONE BLACK PERSON?

You can already do this. It's the "move" option, just below withdraw and deposit.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Well I figure seeing as I'm watching this thread closely I may aswell post what I'd like.
More Eeveelutions, maybe even one of each type.
A way to check your IV's without having to punch a Kecleon or go to an online calculator.
More weather effects and more Pokémon with abilities like Drizzle and Sand Stream.
At the moment every team utilizing one weather effect will always have one Pokémon
For Rain it's Politoed.
For Sand it's Tyranitar/Hippowdon
For Hail it's Abomasnow
For Sun it's Ninetales.

The Ability to have rematches with every NPC trainer, but have them level up in between matches.

Diamond/Pearl/Platinum had this.

The Ability to join up with the villein team.

No point in joining any of the teams. Its just not something Gamefreak needs to add.

Also multiple endings based on in game choices.

Its Pokémon. Not Dragon Age. There is no moral choices. Theres "Should I catch this asshole or should I KO him?" On the other hand, multiple endings based on how filled your Pokédex is by the end of the Elite Four..

Customizable main character including: age, gender, skin color, clothing, and other aspects of physical appearance.

You can barely see your character why bother adding customization? Its not a story driven RPG.

Oppositional Gyms (kind of like the fighting gym from R/B/Y/FR/LG)

There was no Fighting type Gym in those games..

 

[DJDarque]

Customizable main character including: age, gender, skin color, clothing, and other aspects of physical appearance.

This is the one I always think of.

I'd also like to see starters of different types besides the same three they've done for every generation. I mean Zorua would have been a perfect dark-type starter.

 

[RandallJohn]

I'd like to see gyms that focus on strategies instead of types.

ALSO WHY THE FUCK IS IT THAT IN ALL OF THE POKEMON GAMES IS THEIR ONLY ONE BLACK PERSON?

This new one has three

Spoiler: Gym leader Lenora

Spoiler: Elite Four Marshall

Spoiler: Hoopster

Where the hell have you been? Thats been around since Gen III, its called the "move function." Try it out, I dont even use deposit/withdraw anymore.

OT: I'd LOVE to see a proper 3D version of Pokemon, not the half assed 3D in black/white
Also, a real time battle system, could you imagine actually zipping around as pikachu and aiming thunderbolts rather than just rolling a dice? Imagine how much fun it would be to play as a flying pokemon!

 

[Scarim Coral]

I would like to see them incorporate the more honourable Pokémon battle used in the anime, I'm talking about those 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 Pokémon Battle in the anime. Well ok there is that 3 on 3 on online battles but I think it still not fair on using full team against 3 or 2 from the AI. You should only limit yourself to the limit given making you to choose your Pokémon wisely.
To make it even more challenging they should make most of the AI trainers carrying a full team but again having the 3 on 3 matches and thus making it some what random on which Pokémon?s they choose in battle.
EDIT- Actually I want them to stop making your simple home town too simple (the place only house you, the rival and the professor home/Laboratory). Yes I can get they trying to make you come from a quite little town come on, add more stuff to it!

 

[El Poncho]

If there is ever a random encounter where someone randomly gives you an egg or a Pokémon a PC shouldn't be more than a few steps away. I hated when I got to that secret route on White and he's like, oh yeah I have egg but your partys full LOL >.<

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Eh, Pokémon shouldn't be about the story.

More epic scale side quests.

More would imply theres already one.

Making Missingno a real Pokemon: they could have it be the result of a failed Pokemon transferring experiment.

No. Just no. That's not gonna happen.

More Urban based regions (I like the look and layout of Uniova)

While I do love Urban zones I hate Magnemite, Voltorb and Grimer..

More Eevee Evolutions.

That's something I can definetly agree upon.

Have Battles with Roaming legendaries last three rounds instead of only one before they flee

I don't know what you mean with last three rounds but the point of them fleeing is for you to have to use something other than DEAL DAMAGE OK NOW CATCH IT. You have to trap it. Or you can hit it once have it flee, hit it once, have it flee until its at very low health and then just throw a ball everytime you meet it.[/quote]

ALSO WHY THE FUCK IS IT THAT IN ALL OF THE POKEMON GAMES IS THEIR ONLY ONE BLACK PERSON?

Because they arent sitting there thinking "If we don't add black people they're gonna think we're racists!

 

[Axelhander]

A complete removal of IVs (genetics) and the ability to tailor your EVs and moves as you see fit within legal play limits.

You CAN already do this... by hacking.

Really, a perfect whatever with genetics for whatever Hidden Power type you want and EVs distributed just so is just as good whether you earned it in 5 minutes for 500 hours, and those 500 hours don't automagically make you better with it.

See: not having to level Ryu in Street Fighter.

 

[DJDarque]

More Eevee Evolutions.

Seven isn't enough? What do you want, one of every type?

IV's and EV's are a part of Pokémon breeding and there is otherwise no real reason to breed perfection except for Abilities and Natures.

Ah, didn't play gen III and IV, only just gotten back into it with Gen V, and though I did play SS, I knew my favoured team and kind of stuck with them. I'll have to remember that.

That's an interesting idea...

Thank you!

Oppositional Gyms (kind of like the fighting gym from R/B/Y/FR/LG)

I think he/she is refering to that gym where you could get Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan. It's the same city as the Psychic gym



Edit:

I'd like to see more battles with previous major characters (Maybe insert a battle with the previous generation's protagonist and rival, like the battles with Blue and Red in G/S/C/HG/SS)

 

[drbarno]

Bonus gyms.

Or rather, something like MT. Silver in gold/silver/crystal/HG/SS, esstenially a big dungeon were you can fight a powerful enemy at the end, preferably Champions of previous games.
