What do you want to see in Pokemon go

[Ocelano]

I think we can all agree that what we saw in the promo video bares no resemblance to the finished product except for those two seconds at the end which raises the question
What do you want in the finished Game?
To get us rolling here are my personal hopes

No more than 20-30 pokemon types available per town/region - Niantics big success ingress encouraged travel and socializing and I don't think either of these would be a bad addition to this one you want all 600+ pokemon you'd best be prepped to walk or trade

The announced micro transactions should only be for real rare stuff like masterballs bot a requirement for everything(maybe you can buy some pokedollars but allow them to be earnt in game)

Take landmarks and environment into account for pokemon distribution grimers and Muks at sewers goldeens at beaches and so forth

Make Pokemarts in the locations of real workd shops no reason just makes sense

There are my thoughts keen to hear yours

not for the application, but I thik since it's on mobile, a Pokedec phone case should be released

I dunno a part in the app that tracks what you've seen where and possibly shares that intel with others could be pretty cool so you're not only working to catch'em all but also to record their environments

I want them to design a character that is completely immune to Rule 34, because I'm tired of drinking myself to sleep so that I don't wake up screaming.

Huahuahuahua, you believe that's possible?

No exceptions. None. Age, gender and species be damned. Unfortunately.

OT: Hmmm, designing your own trainer profile based on a picture of yourself a'la 3DS and WiiU would be neat. Perhaps not possible, but neat.

I want the only Pokemon available in Cleveland or Detroit to be Trubbush XD

Also, have irl weather affect pokemon appearance rates and migratory herds of pokemon move though regions every so often.

while I agree weather would be cool may be impossible or at least very difficult to pull off with any more accuracy then long range predictions that said the day/night cycle might be nice

One last thing the Mareep line better bloody well appear in Australia where else would you find a freakish sh sheep Kangaroo Hybrid

i guess it would depend if they pull the data off the web and transmit it, or simply grab in info from individual phones. i think most smart phones come with some kind of local weather app.

Global trade? I don't know about this while I'm all for it in theory it does detract from the real life interaction I suppose maybe if you have to be within X meters to add someone as a friend and could then do long distance stuff Arrgh I don't know where I stand on this in the end O think I'll stick with face to face or at least same 50 meters trade/battle

 

[Guffe]

I wonder how the battles will be done, will it be like the handheld games with turn based combat, or some sort of live action strategy new thing?
Will there be levels, or somehow skillbased?
How random are the pokemon encounters? Will there be certain pokemon only in certain reagions, will they be set regions in every country, or will I have to travel 8000km from Finland to Italy to catch some mediterranian fishpokemon?
Can I collect badges somehow?
What happens when the first virtual Charizard breaks free and starts roaming the real world?

We basically know nothing about this game, and I don't really care how they make it, as long as it's good

 

[otakon17]

I want to to see fully 3D rendered AR Pokemon fight in "real space" beating the crap out of each other.

 

[Ocelano]

I haven't been this excited about an announced pokemon game since that one for the 64 Colloseum was it? I'd heard you'd be able to plug in your Gameboy cartridge and play the game on your telly my head was full of 3d sprites duking it out as I walked from Gym to Gym with my Venusaur. What did I get? A far more limited variant of the gameboy adaptor that my cousin had had for the snes. You'd think I'd of learnt my lesson by now

 

[Ocelano]

Wow sorry shit day at work and did that last post in a fit of unreleased aggression. In all honesty if they take a basic pokemon game and skin the real(? sometimes I wonder) world in it I'll be happy

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I wish the game would deliver something even remotely close to the AR hijinks depicted in the teaser. But it's not gonna.

Giganitic 80m tall Pokemon destroying Tokyo and Manila. Humanity has to come together to fight them, setting aside old rivalries for the sake of the greater good. To fight monsters, they create monsters of their own.
The Jaeger Program is born!
Just imagine it:

Gypsy Danger uses Rocket Arm.
Its super effective!
Mammoth Jigglypuff faints!

Crimson Typhoon uses Thundercloud Formation.
Its not very effective.
Giga-Charzard uses Tail Whip.
Its super effective!
Crimson Typhoon faints!

THAT'S a Pokemon game after my own heart!

I would like to know that everyone could get a majority of the Pokemon without living in very specific places. It would suck if your favorite Pokemon is only found on the other side of the world, and you have a small chance of even finding someone with it.

Apparently, only the first gen Pokemon will be available at the start, but the others will be rolled out in the coming months. It makes sense, but I fee like Pokemon GO is targeting the kinds of people who stopped liking Pokemon the moment they felt it wasn't the big thing anymore. Wynaut appeal to the fans both old and young who kept the series alive in the subsequent generations?

 

[Beliyal]

I'd like for this app to work everywhere in the world. Everything Pokemon-related seems to be ignoring that the world isn't just Western Europe, USA and Japan. I don't want for the app to tell me "Sorry, no Pokemon in your area. Nearest Pokemon located 5 countries away."

So yeah, that's my wish. For the app to work in my country. I don't think I'm asking much.

Other than that, it would be nice if the app utilized the camera on your phone so that you can look at an actual location through the camera and the app just puts the image of a Pokemon there. Rather than just have some generic grass texture like it was in that trailer. And I'd like for it to be moderately easy to get most Pokemon. I need my Arcanine, dammit.

Really? Okay now I'm interested! This is what I want, for the game not to be watered down with hundreds of the dumb looking new pokemon.

Also, that pokedex phone case someone mentioned sounds pretty good.

Actually, while we're at it, they should have a pokedex feature so every time I see a new pokemon I could have a robotic voice tell me obvious facts about it.

 

[SD-Fiend]

I would hope that it lasts long enough for it to be possible to catch em all. It'll suck if this thing goes kaput after two years

I'd also like for there to be a way to join in on events even if you can't make your way out there. This game'll probably have microtransactions of some kind so they'll probably let you use H.M. Fly/Surf to get to other places via hard to grind in game currency or 99 cents per use.
