Pokemon and
I don't get why Nintendo hasn't released an official Pokemon MMORPG. I mean, playing online with the current games is fun, but a full on MMORPG would really be awesome and add a whole new level to the games.
I'd say a Mystery Dungeon/WoW sort of thing would work better than the Red/Blue/Yellow type Pokemon games - because Mystery Dungeon+Pokemon was like the best crossover yet - and if you combine an awesome crossover game with like one of the best online games (yes I am calling WoW the best MMO because it is actually pretty good) then you got like £200million in the first 3 weeks of sales
and now my ideas are flowing - here's how I think it could work.... You make your character through a quiz,or just choose, you go off doing quests and then there could be dungeons - when you go through these dungeons you meet bosses that have a 10% "recruit chance" if your lucky enough then you will get this boss on your team and you can change your pokemon through your guild hall/base - normal pokemon found in the wild have a mere 0.001% chance of recruiting and there are bosses/normal pokemon that you cannot "recruit" unless you are a certain level or pokemon. the whole clan/guild thing would be like the factions in WoW - you have to be liked enough by a guild/faction to use their facilities and some factions are at war so as you become liked by some others hate you more. Instead of mounts you would use your Pokemon's natural abilities to traverse the land and each Pokemon moves at a different rate due to their build so:
Rattatta - default running speed on land - different terrains slow this Pokemon down however (e.g long grass slows to 90%, water to 20% can only jump very short distances)
Onix - can burrow to move at twice the normal land speed
Horsea - swims at 135% of normal land speed
Pikachu - moves at 130% normal speed on all surfaces and can double jump
Jumpluff - can glide across large distances at 300% normal land speed
but then you can evolve them or get better Pokemon like
Ratacate - Runs at 115% normal speed and terrains only slow Ratacate by tiny amounts e.g Long Grass to 95%, Water to 70% e.t.c)
Steelix - 50% speed boost to both surface and burrowed speed
Kingdra - swims at 250% land speed
Raichu - moves at 160% normal speed and can do double jump and then pounce a long distance
Swellow - Can fly at 310% speed (better than Jumpluff because you have full control on this Pokemon's flight and can use attacks during flight and can also be used to help smaller allies by giving them a lift
and now this whole faction thing: there could be random fights between the factions every hour or so - and if you are friendly with one faction you could fight with them against the other faction and their player allies - and the winning faction gets a large amount of money relative to their level and their NPC+P kills (e.g 1 NPC kill = 100 currency/ 1 PK = 150 currency at level 15 and so on)
your welcome any developers looking for ideas >.< ^^
