Best Pokemon Game Ever

[Megan21]

Ok so here is an idea i had for an awesome game

For you to remotely know what i'm talking about you should have some knowledge or these games

*N64 Pokemon Battle Stadium 1 & 2
*N64 Hay You! Pikachu
*N64 Pokemon snaphttp
*Any Pokemon For GB, GBA, DS, Etc...


Ok so here is a list of what should make a good Pokemon game and what will be in this game idea.

*Battling-
*Freedom to Explore-
*Npc Encounters-
*Items-
*A Simple,Fun, And Simi Challenging Way to Catch/Run Into Pokemon-
*Safari Zone-
*Pokemon Interaction-
*Pokemon Buddies-
*Mini Games-
*Other-


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRO

Ok so say you have some decent game making skills and knowledge.
Wouldn't it be possible to combined all these game's listed above's graphics and general idea to make one fun game.
I'm not 100% Sure on how easy this will be to do but i figure its remotely easy.
-----------------------
*Battling

-Pokemon Stadium 1&2
This should supply us with our battling system and all the Pokemon sprites for at least the 1st, and at most the 2nd generation Pokemon.
(This will also supply us with move graphics that will be needed for something other than battling that i will discuss later)

-Modifications
You would have to make quite a few more battling backgrounds but I believe that should be simple.

-Gym Battling
The Backgrounds for each gym is in Pokemon stadiums so that too is covered.
--------------------------
*Freedom to Explore-

-Hey You! Pikachu
Selecting items and picking up things will be like Hey You! Pikachu
Walking around should be similar to Hey You! Pikachu as well, just a little faster and a little smoother.
maybe make looking around a little easier
(NOTE: Im thinking this should be a computer game just in case you have assumed otherwise)
SO modifying the controls for you to look around as you walk (instead of how Hey You! Pikachu Makes you have stop and push a button to look around)
should be easier with computer key bored than with a N64 controller.
-----------------------------
-The Landscape

This Will probably be one of the trickiest parts to do.
How i believe the landscape should be done is when you enter each town you should enter a separate area, but all the routs are connected.
The way the routs and towns should be formatted is the same as they are formatted in the GB/DS PKM games, but in 3D.
Big rocks,fences,tall grass, and trees will border the landscape
With a simple, distant picture in the backgrounds of these borders so it looks more realistic and open.

example,
say your on rout 100
it's in a plains area so its pretty open with a tree and shrubbery popping up every now n then.
Flowers and other natural treasures litter your way.
its a simi wide path, wide enuf to feel comfortable, with a small trail leading away to a small secret area popping up every now and then..
The tall grass on eather side prevents you from wondering the wrong way. but in the distance,over the grass, you can see the town your heading to, and the cave that's located to your right, and perhaps the forest that's to the Northeast.

there are examples of what i mean when i say, a picture of a distant town in the background, in Pokemon stadium 1 on a free battle area.
if you look in the distant background on one part (this is best done in the taking picture mode) of the free battle area, you can see a town.
that's a perfect example of how i imagine the borders to look.


The tricky part will be actually shaping a whole entire 3D world of Pokemon.
the layouts already there because you will be using the first Pokemon reign.
You'd also have to make more landscape for caves, mountains and buildings which are not already provided.
Buildings will have to be strangely but conveniently, much smaller on the outside than on the inside to keep things simple and less confusing.

------------------------

NPC ENCOUNTERS

-Graphics
Making 3D graphics for people.
And you'd have to make everyone....-.-
Nurse Joy, Different Trainers, Professor Oak, Gym Leaders, A Rival, Story Characters And probably some others i forgot.
But once there made Npc batteling will be like in the GB games, When they see you, you battle.
The trainer npcs will be wondering around in set areas, and it will be possible to sneak past them if you desire to, but walk too fast or too close and they'll notice you.
Walk normally and they will automatically face you.
Once you get close enuf, you will stop and wait as they approach you.

A phone system should be added too. so you can always battle people agin
but the second time you will have to be the one to approach them.

so this IS the hardest part of this whole project.
-------------------------
*Items

-Hey You! Pikachu
Items will be almost, but not quite as, abundant as in Hey You! Pikachu.
berries and flowers,along with other useful items will be on the ground. You can pick them up and use them to interact with your Pokemon either for battling or play (which i will be getting into later)

you also may spot a wild Pokemon interacting with these items. =]

-------------------------
*A Simple,Fun, And Simi Challenging Way to Catch/Run Into Pokemon

-Pokemon Behaviours
So my idea is have Pokemon randomly placed throughout the routs, doing what you'd assume that particular Pokemon to do.

Example, oddish and gloom would be chilling in the ground like in hey you pikachu,
but sometimes you'll see them wondering around as they might do particularly at night.

Caterpi might be just walking around or munching on a nearby food item, which will be the behavior of most Pokemon.

Now, The Pokemon are randomly placed and you may not see all possible Pokemon every time you enter a rout.


Say rout 100 has these Pokemon set to be wondering around in it
.Oddish
.Piggy
.Pikachu (Really Rare)
so say you want to catch a pikachu.
when you enter the area, the chances of pikachu even being in the area are pretty low. so to find him you will have to go through the rout, keeping an eye out for pikachu. Once you get to the end of the rout the Pokemon will reset. So you turn around and pass through the rout again

and maybe by the 10th time you do this you spot a pikachu! Now what?

Well you can do one of two things...
1. you can attempt to chase a pretty fast Pokemon
2. or you can attempt to sneak up on it without it noticing you

but ether way your only goal is to touch it, because once you touch it you will be sent into a battle scene, like in Pokemon stadium
(the background in the battle scene will vary depending on where you are)

so you touched it, now what?

Now you will need to lower its level just like in the GB Game.
so you will send out the first Pokemon in your party and let the battle commence.
Once you got pikachu down to a low level, you go to your items bag and select to use a poke ball.
a scene will show of pikachu getting a poke ball thrown at him and sucking him in, now you have to wait to see if it worked. the poke ball will move back n forth just like in the GB Game and he has a chance of being caught or breaking free.

so that seems pretty simple, most of those graphics are already made. all the pokemon, the movement, the battle scene and the poke ball.

*Some Pokemon will run from you, but not all of them are very good at running.
some are slow, some are fast.
it wont be too difficult to catch them no matter how fast they are, but it should be pretty challenging.
really common Pokemon like oddish wont really run and may even walk into you, to keep things interesting.

so this whole system shouldn't be too hard.
----------------------------
*Safari Zone-

Ah i love this idea.
the safari zone will be like Pokemon snap.
You will be put on a ride that goes through different environments.
At the entrance of the safari zone you pick which zone you want to go through
like Vally,Beach,Volcano,

Each environment will have Pokemon to match, again the Pokemon will be randomly placed and you may not see all possible Pokemon every time.

Anyway, just like Pokemon snap, you will be able to take pictures, throw food, throw smoke balls, play the flute, and speed up.

But a new feature will be the ability to throw Safari balls!
Just like you throw other things you can throw Safari balls at the wild Pokemon.
and just like the safari zone, you don't get to battle, throwing food makes them stop sometimes but makes the Pokemon harder to catch, and throwing a smoke ball will make them run or get them out of hiding along with making them easier to catch.

once you hit and get a Pokemon in a safari ball, your cart will stop and wait to see if you caught the Pokemon.
and if you threw it early enuf, you may get a chance to throw a second or third safari ball.

and just like in Pokemon snap, you can put your pic's in an album, and maybe once a week there will be a photo contest. the photo will be judged like they are in Pokemon snap.
also there may be a reword if you take a picture of all possible Pokemon for professor oak =]
so that would be a cool little feature.
------------------------------
*Pokemon Interaction

Ah well Like in Hey You! Pikachu you can talk to your Pokemon.

at your house, in your back yard, you can let all the Pokemon in your party out to roam around.
it is here where you can interact with your Pokemon just like in hey you pikachu!
you have to lock on to the Pokemon you want to talk to though, but you will be able to move around freely while your locked on.
Each Pokemon will know its name anddd you may be able to even nick name them.

Now remember the berries and flowers i talked about. well it is here you can use those items, along with other items.

you can give ALL Pokemon food, BUT not all Pokemon can do much els
Most Pokemon can do a lot of things, but for Pokemon like, snorlax and onix, What they can do is limited.

all the Pokemon sprites are already there in Pokemon stadium.
some Pokemon may not be able to move some will follow you if your locked on.
once locked on, there will be a little heart at a corner of the screen to show how much they love you, the more they love you the more they listen to you.

all Pokemon can use 3 certain moves on command.
like all water Pokemon can use bubble beam, water gun, and water blast
All electric Pokemon can use thunder shock, thunder bolt, and thunder
All Grass can use razor leaf, Vine Whip, Solar beam
you get the picture

Plus there will be other countless activities you can do with your little friend
possibly more than in hey you! Pikachu

This shouldn't be too hard. Just program the Pokemon to understand a react to most of the same commands, like all will know what you mean by saying
follow, come here, hey, dance, (insert move depending on Pokemon), eat this, take this, i love you, (Pokemon's name), how do you feel, how are you, (name of items), Grab that, Garb, Etc...
the hard part will be programming each Pokemon body movement and voice.

how fun right =]
--------------------
*Pokemon Buddies

Taking your little friend on the adventure with you!
only certain Pokemon can follow you, and some have more advantages than others.your friend isn't necessary but you cant do some things without them and they can be a big help.
.Like use there attacks to knock food off trees
.maybe little mini quest that require the help of a Pokemon
.communicate with Pokemon npcs
.Fish

Yes fish. The fishing system will be like it is in hey you! pikachu.
just go up to some water and take out the fishing hook.
your Pokemon (only Pokemon with hands can fish)
will start fishing in that spot, as you coach him.
once you catch a fish pokemon you will be asked if you want to keep it or not
if you say yes you will be put in a battle scene with it.
-------------------------
*Mini Games


there will be a game center somewhere where you can enter your Pokemon in mini games.
only certain Pokemon can enter certain mini games.

just like Pokemon stadium's mini games.
-------------------------
*Other

-Pokemon will look different
All the Pokemon you encounter will have different shading and slightly different color variations that way it will be uncommon to run into a Pokemon that looks just like yours.

making you friend that much more unique.

-Personality
Each Pokemon will reflect it's personality.
timid Pokemon will defiantly run from you when you see them, once caught they may not be bold and they will most likely stay by you than run off and explore. plus other little quirks.
plus just like in the GB/DS games it will affect there leveling.

-Night and Day
I think night n day should pass like in Zelda... =]

-Your house.
Ok well i am torn between two ideas
having a preset house already, with a sizable back yard for you to interact with you poke friends.

Or making secret bases, but were will the back yard be, maybe all secret bases will have back yards that can only be assessable from in the base.
each secret base will be different like in the GB game

Decorating-
of cores you can decorate your place. inside and your back yard.
(your Pokemon friends will interact with some decorations)
and how about even decorating your house with Pokemon!!!
like, let your shelder hang out on your table, or have your persian watch your place while your gone, have your butterfree tending to your garden =]
you can bring them treats when you came back from a long adventure.
it's also a nice way to b surrounded by all your fave Pokemon without taking up your party space.


Garden-
You will have a pree set space to put a garden.
you can plant any plant, vegetable, or berry
just place the plant you wish to have in your garden
and unless you pick it up and replace it with something els, every time you re-enter your back yard, that plant will be there.





The End
Thank you for reading or at least scanning my idea
