The Ultimate Pokemon Game

[amphibians]

I heart this thread, madly.
I'd love for a PC based Pokemon RPG that isn't an amature java production.
Oh and
I hate the layouts of the towns on Pokemon. 4 or 6 buildings spread out and surrounded
by a hedge perimeter to stop you going where you shouldn't?
Ugh, Irritates me like hell.

After Heart Gold/Soul Silvers European release, I hope they'll take in the damn ideas in this thread >:

One acronym for the Ultimate Pokemon game:
MMO

It could be a 2D isometric like they all have been now...
But give me my MMO.

Um... when a wild Pokemon attacks I want to be able to use my hunting license and put one in between its eyes and I wouldn't care if some of them were endangered, Big Game Hunter: Pokemon Edition all the way!

Ask and you shall receive.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Pokemon MMO. You telling me that wouldn't outsell WoW?

EDIT: Wow. Double ninja'd. Damn.

There are a lot of things I would want them to add to future pokemon games, but the one I probably want the most is different starter types. I think they should keep a type triangle like fire/water/grass, but with different types.
Examples are:
-Psychic/Fighting/Dark
-Water/Ground/Electric
-Ice/Fighting/Flying
-Steel/Ground/Ice
-or even Bug/Rock/Grass
They can make a type triangle out of every type except for Ghost, Normal, and Dragon. Some of them are better then others, but I would like to see them mix it up a bit.
Or better yet, make it so that depending on which of the 14 types you choose for your starter, the type of your rival's (and possible supporting character's) starter changes to fit an appropriate type triangle.

-Balance Elemental Weaknesses
They're already balanced. Your issue comes more from stats rather than from elemental modifiers. Besides, some Pokemon can survival one Super-Effective hit if their corresponding defense stat is high enough (or, in the case of Blissey and other tanks, HP).

Thank you. There are so many people who don't understand that.

My Blissey can take three Close Combats and skip away with a smile on her face. You just need more ATK...

Even if they never use it for competition purposes, people who play the Pokemon games should at least look at what makes the metagame so complex...Hell, even those who don't play it. It'd shut them up about how "Ooh, the pokemon gaemz never change w/ ea. genration, theyre kiling the industry!!"

It's ridiculously complex. I still can't figure out Egg Moves.

[quote/]-Rivals
I agree on this. Or, at the very least, make the rival(s) more three-dimensional. Put in a character that hates you or something

Um, Gold Silver wasn't good enough for you?

He didn't like you.

At all.

And was pissed off that you were awesome and he was shit.


He actually grew though and understood pokemon.

Though he had stolen pokemon so he couldn't be league champion.

Sad days.

He wasn't really a three dimensional character. And, while Silver is my favorite rival so far, he could still use some work. I mean, why does he steal a Pokemon in the first place? Why does he hate you for no apparent reason ('cause your awesome isn't a good reason)? Why is he such a douche? At least with Blue it's because he's the grandson of the leading professor of Pokemon; we don't know why Silver acts the way he does.[/quote]

^^Bulbapedia entry for his character. He's a jerk cause Giovanni (His Father)abandoned him to go into hiding after he was beaten at some point or another.

It's ridiculously complex. I still can't figure out Egg Moves.

I didn't say they had to understand it fully.

And I think egg moves are inherited from the father (if it's a TM/HM/Breeding move) or if both parents know a level-up move.

Ah. Now, if that was stated in Gold and Silver, then my opinion would be different.

Okay, so we need more rivals like Silver.

HOW COME THE POLICE DONT STOP THE ROCKET!>!?

Pokemon continents are based off of Japanese provinces, right? And Japanese police departments have a reputation for being incompetent, right? Put two and two together, I guess...

lolololol haha meanie haha

Rock would be rock (obvs). Ground is more like dirt. Also straight-up rock pokemon are not immune to electric attacks; only the ground-element is

But dirt is made from the erosion of rock and minerals with a mix of organic matter...

Shroomish is a grass pokemon, even though it's a mushroom and therefore a fungus. Application of logic in this instance is in and of itself nonsensical.

Plus, hey, it's Pokey Monz!

Its because his dad is the douchebag leader of team rocket. And in the manga he was kidnapped by a Ho-oh... but thats a totally different and emotionally scarring story

edit: I got ninjaed... damn
