Pokemon video game concepts.

Earlier this week i made a thread blatantly advertising for a pokemon game i was working on, and i'm still sorry i broke the forum rules. so i would like to have a discussion about promising concepts for a pokemon game. here are the ideas that i personally hope to implement.
real time battles - i think this would play a key role in future pokemon games, making it a lot more like the anime, and possibly eliminate the boredom out of painfully grinding levels, because at least then you would also attain skill at battling as well. As well as seeing a low level baby pokemon take down something a lot stronger.
portable transferring- i really couldn't think of another way to put this, but it's also something i would like to do. For example you can have a pokemon game on your home gaming system that had the ability to play at increased speed, and then be able to quickly transfer that same game to a portable device. I know this is partially done now with ranch/battle revolution, but if an actual game that actually allowed your pokemon to gain experience was implemented, i think it would make things a lot more enjoyable.
anyway... what are your guys thoughts?
 
This kind of thread comes up quite often, you might not get many replies.
Realtime pokemon just wouldn't work, much the in same way real time Final Fantasy didn't work.
 
Why would anybody want to make something like the anime?

I would keep the battle system somewhat similar to what it is now. If you want real-time Pokémon, then go play SSBB or that new WiiWare game in Japan. Although I admit that an ATB system could work (basically, you can move as often as your Speed stat allows you to).

Anyway, a good feature would be an online system like Shoddy's. Although it's not like Nintendo will ever do that, given their love for Friend Codes...
 
A pokemon FPS would be pretty nice. You could, you know, be a trainer and the pokemon could be your guns. Ex: Staryu as a throwing star. Cyndaquil as a flamethrower. Pikachu could be a.... rail gun.

It would have to be really bloody, though.
 
I've wanted to play as Team Rocket since Gen I. Remember when the grunt asks you if you'll join? Yeah. That'd be awesome... to see the Mewtwo story play out from the other side could be kind of cool, though I don't know if story is really the right thing to talk about for some reason.

I've actually had this idea as well but since there is usually a trio have Rocket/Magma/Aqua or Rocket/Galactic/Magma or Aqua. Then not only could you battle but have missions to pull off like steal this pokemon or stop this person. Lol, Game Freak or Nintendo would probably never make a game like this anyway but it would be so awesome.

QFE.

Sadly enough though, I don't really see it happening. It's a massive money-making opportunity, but I'm pretty sure that Nintendo would rather put more games out for their consoles, and tell you that you like it.

I've thought off and on about how you could do things like quests. They had a phone, why not a PDA. Hell, the Poketch might as well be one, all the apps you get for it, albeit half of them being useless. NPCs could send you mission mails and things of the like. It would just have to be about a little more than "Stop team X from completing their diaboloical plan, and collect 8 (and in one case, 16) badges while you do it".
 
I really want to see Pokemon Warfare like what was happening at the beginning of the Lucario movie. :)

As for a game that actually has a chance of coming out, my brother and I have brainstormed for what we want in Gen 5. We want the Water-Types to get the treatment that they gave Fire types in Gen 4, aka, Okay, you get 2 new water types, and that's your starter and a legend you cann't use until the game's practically over. We also want the vise-versa to happen. We think that this could happen if the fifth area was the Pokemon equivalent of Hawaii, an island around an active volcano. Instead of being able to use surf, you would use Lava Surf, eliminating all need for a surfing Pokemon until the main quest is over.
 
I think a real time pokemon thing could work. Just give it a sort of dbz tenkaichi (spelling?) lock on system sort of thing. Then just give the pokemon four moves, like now, and each one goes to a certain button. A jump button for pokemon that make sense to have a jump (I doubt hippowdon can jump) That would kinda work, wouldn't it?
 
Iirc, there was a group of people who actually attempted to make a real-time Pokemon game. ;]

Try googling "Project Wiimon, and see what comes up. =P

I can be down for that so long as HMs get REPLACED, and not ADDED ON. Like say Lava Surf instead of fucking DEFOG...
 
No kidding, that was the most useless HM ever (not) thought up. I didn't even bother to teach anyone Defog, just because it was more aof a convenience than a necessity.
 
We lived with flash for so long I don't Defog as an issue. Also, it's more useful on doubles than Flash (be creative), and it's usable on PBR Courtyard's challenge.

Defog >>>>> Flash

I hardly see something like "Lava Surf" coming out specially with Heat Wave and Lava Plume, but it's just personal opinion.
 
what about an MMO that acts like mystery dungeon, or exactaly like mystery dungeon? except you get a lot more freedom or choice on what type of pokemon you want to become such as gible or magby. you could get missions like a mystery dungeon game and they could add a sims-type of feel to the game with a house or something like that
 
Yes. The only way a Pokemon MMO would be able to work is if you were the pokemon, probably in a humanless pokeworld. This would lead to team strategy, and great PvP. You would just level up by fighting NPC or player pokemon, and you could do stuff like cook. Or whatever pokemon do. Running around as a Gengar attacking other pokemon? It would be great!

I was like YES!! When he asked that. Then the stupid character was like "no thanks". D:

And in XD when Miror B. asked me if I wanted to join Team Miror B. I was like "Sure". Sadly though, he said "No, that answer isn't coming from the heart. What do you really want? I was like "Sure". I went through the loop like 10 times D:

I would love to play as evil. Pokemon Black and White have been fan ideas for the longest of time.
 
8-bit megaman with pokemon characters anyone? Weapons are different pokemons like Pikachu uses thunderbolt and Charmander flamethrower etc. Bad ass pokemons are robot masters. And final boss would be Mewtwo. Would be so cool!
