I could fart out a better Pokemon game than anything made in the last 15 years

t. agdg anon

>>14857878

First Island is Melemele, which as usual I don't get why they keep spewing the same 4-5 pokemon in the first 3 routes, it always pisses me off, why can't we have some variety before hitting the first boss?

>>14857917

It would be great if someone made a Pokemon Battle game that linked with power saves and the like (Pokemon Battle AKA Stadium sub-genre.)

D/P is underrated

>>14857948

Probably because they are painfully slow.

I wish Mystery dungeon wasn't dead. The whole concept is so much more fun than the regular games. I really liked playing as a Pokemon and having adventures with my best buddy. It would make for a much better and more interesting anime too.

Nowadays I associate Pokemon mostly with frustration about all the pontential that's going to waste

>>14857957

I never gave a fuck about that, is it really so bad? There isn't much to critique aside from "slowness" and inaccessible special events

How would you redesign pokemon's gameplay to make it fresh?

I think a real-time tactics pokemon game could be really fun.

>>14857975

Is pretty bad considering some of us jumped form Gen III which was pretty fast, with time some of the speed has come back but some other aspects become very slow, like the encounters which now take their sweet time showing their "transition effects" for a while before giving you control on the battle.

>>14857999

Keeping the turn based aspect would work for me if stuff like certain prompts were replaced with just the visual cues like poison, paralysis, confusion, etc., no need to remind me of the status problems if I see them being applied at their corresponding time like end of my turn.

>>14858031

Pokemon Crystal clear?

>>14858044

I don't mind getting less grind since I can get more variety on my teams, something I didn't like about this was how the second jump to 3D has made the world design very confusing and I have to constantly check the lower screen to see the map, otherwise I can go in circles in certain areas.

>>14858047

Yeah buddy. Newest version; just scan that shit and it'll be downloaded and installed straight to your home menu. It's Pokemon Crystal but open world; you can do the gyms in any order and they AND the trainers all scale depending on your badges. The Sprout Tower has become a hellhole where everyone has high level Victreebells because I put it off for so long and it's damn nice. It's the funnest I've had with Pokemon in years.

>>14858055

Even worse is how in USUM, the Rotom Dex interrupts you and takes over the ENTIRE map screen to tell you the same few bits of advice over and over again. It's absolutely abhorrent and it's a massive annoyance since the camera is so bad that you need to constantly check the map; you have to wait a good 5 seconds before he goes away and he does it almost constantly. I have no idea why they didn't think it through but the game feels pretty rushed honestly.

>>14857948

Eh. Gen 4's soundtrack is incredibly good and sets the mood for a lot of that region's routes and towns. Coming off Gen 3's 50-50 water/land fusion with trumpet OST to rocky, mountainous region stuffed with caves and piano was quite a different and fresh experience. I guess in a way you would really have to find a lot of Gen 4's charm coming straight off of playing a lot of Gen 3 to have it get to you.

https://youtu.be/IPBO3l4K7HU

Cynthia's theme, which pops up a shit ton since she's basically Gamefreak's Lightning, also happens to basically be the culmination of Gen 4's instrumental thematic.

>>14858059

I'll check it then, I always had the idea that level scaling should be a thing in Pokemon.

>>14858063

With how the game is designed I assume Wonder Trade is a massive downgrade from Gen 6 since at least there I was able to get a lot of new pokemon with little to no remorse about the commons one would be able to give and take.

>>14858070

Big part of why I like it, best OST for sure. I also love the mountainous region, seemed to me as the largest in scale.

>>14867170

Thanks for the bump, I keep moving forward and I keep seeing more road blocks in routes, is getting ridiculous.

No, as stated she's Pokemon's Lightning.

>>14875567

>>14873105

What the fuck happened here?

I just wish it was easier to replay the main story of a Pokémon game. I like trying different teams for it, but that means using a copy where I don't mind losing the data just to restart, and moving all the pokémon I want to keep. …And since I'm an autist about it, I have to breed and EV train a team with all the moves outside their level-up learnset and natures that I want, then send them over after I start a new game. I don't do this often, obviously. Pain in the ass just to essentially have NG+. …But I still like playing the main story of any of the games with a pre-bred team.

I'm not an expert on the pokemon manga or oras's delta episode but basically Zinnia is a lore keeper and it's kind of her job to summon or communicate with rayquaza or whatever and she needs him to stop a meteor that's coming to destroy the planet. Zinnia didn't really get along with the protagonists and they ended up befriending rayquaza before she could so she found a way to distract them and get them away from rayquaza so she could ask him to help her, this pissed rayquaza off causing him to refuse and attack her

Nah, just have that be the explanation for why none of the trainers there seem to go home for the night and just lurk where they stand. Or use that as an excuse for the admittedly shitty roadblocking habit recent Pokemon games seem so fond of.

>>14877339

Does the 3DS even have a digital shop for DS games? I don't have one, but it's been something I've wondered.

Regardless, Nintendo seems to be content with the about of copies of HGSS out there, even as they're reaching $60+ where I am, $100+ if it's the whole fucking set (cart, manual, case, cover, Pokewalker, and box). I know it's some years since the DS was current, but other companies have cleared their DS games for reprint in the years since, but Pokemon stays seems prone to stay with the print size made. Could also just as well be that they don't want to run off more Pokewalkers.

>>14878927

In Alola is like having a snorlax every route until you battle a specific NPC.

>>14879174

Sounds like a better spin-off than what we got.

>>14879174

This sounds absolutely awful and not like pokemon in the slightest, also we already have a pokemon srpg with the nobunaga's ambition tie in, which is decent enough post-game and has lot's of stage and movement mechanics, but technically >>14879561 is right. Very, very right.

>>14879174

It isn't bad, but suggested monster mechanics are so different from pokemon that it might be just better to make new IP.

>>14879979

Yeah, it would be a knockoff not a direct fangame anyways. I'm not interested in getting C&D'd.

>>14879895

From my perspective so many of the mechanics in mainline Pokemon games are so inherently flawed they cannot be improved without major reworkings. The hard limit of four moves, the simplest turn based battle system in existence when jrpg battling is usually too repetitive and easy to begin with, the utter boredom of grinding level ups for new Pokemon you catch to get them on par with the rest of your team, the fact that the game is just a linear progression of catch this group of Pokemon first and this group next etc, the stupidity of HMs, the game world that feels like a series of rat trails, and so on. The things I enjoyed were capturing the Pokemon I liked and the challenge in doing so, exploring new areas and encountering new creatures, and improving the mons I caught (typical progression). Taking the turn-based tactics grid battle system with the variety of different mons of a Pokemon game would have a pretty good amount of depth.

>>14880412

>Yeah, it would be a knockoff not a direct fangame anyways. I'm not interested in getting C&D'd.

That's a good idea.

>>14879174

You may want to look into the Disgaea games. Not for the min-maxing or how the numbers get big, but it's a grid based tactical game like FFT, with a wealth of abilities and ways to develop the various classes.

Though by that point- make your own collecting monster game and surpass it in critical praise.

This gives you even more freedom (steal FFTA's class system where you can still use skills from one other class, as well as a passive and counter/protect abilitity from any class)

>>14878977

My poor dick.

Pokémon is dead, and I want them to put it on hiatus for a while.

I wish the Dragon Quest Monsters games gotten more love.

>>14880583

It is. It was from FF5 and they also used it in Bravely Default.

You can do fun shit like Dual Wield Zweihanders, or (usually) break the game with OP combos- yet still take the level-ups in a class with better stats.

Like I said, it doesn't apply to Pokemon (and it'd be impossible to apply) but bear with.

Let's say Fire Type Pokemon can choose between several classes to learn special attacks and abilities.

One that specializes in direct damage to a single target (Flamethrower, Flamewheel), one that specializes in AoE damage (Eruption, Heat-Wave) and one that specializes in unique conditions/buffing allies/debuffing enemies (Will-O-Wisp, type swapped Agility it can pass onto allies).

So you could learn all the special attacks and abilities, but combine them in unique ways. So you take Will-O-Wisp from one set, use the Passive Ability that increases your damage onto burned foes, then learn all your attacking moves.

Combine that with other types (which open up more classes) and you can do crazy stuff.

Except- it couldn't really work based on type or biome they're usually caught in. Some fire-types can't learn Heat Wave, and Pokemon in general have unique move-sets even amongst their own type.

Mystery Dungeon is probably the closest thing, but that's just pick 3 of your favorites that work well, and use those one-time items to produce other moves.

Now apply that to a monster game with no expectations. "Hey, Bloodrhinos can learn stuff from these classes". Said classes could also be on other monsters, but ideally no two monsters should have the same tactics. You could even have it so specific monsters can't learn specific stuff from classes (most monsters learn to Duel Wield from Class A- except Monster 221 because it's not got two hands or something).

>>14880412

Have you ever played pokemon against a half-decent human player with an actual full team? Regular pokemon just needs AI that actually know how to use status-category moves properly and can make use some basic predicative abilities. Pokemon isn't 1v1 6 times, and the pokemon in reserve are a very important part of play, like what, are you playing with switch styles battles instead of set style and only going through vanilla versions of the easiest games in the series? Of course you're going to be bored just spamming whatever stab attack you can get on your starter for 30 hours. The problem is that the games are designed for children, so they're not going to be putting in any even remotely challenging obstacles, but if you try any of the better romhacks you'll see that there's actually a decent amount of challange and problem solving needed to play the game. All you're suggesting is making it a strategy RPG, that doesn't fix any of the core exploration issues of the recent games, and the rest of the issues are all factors that can (and have) been fixed by minor tweaking.

Further, your idea hasn't been developed upon very much, it's just a generalised 'make these bad things good' and a suggestion to have stupid stuff like visible overworld models in a heavily abstracted top-down map system and an arbitrary choice of rpg mechanics style. Remember that we already have a bunch of spin-offs (including an srpg one) so suggesting that your idea is somehow a direct improvement over mainline pokemon when it trashes every element of the game, aside from the pokemon themselves, based on your arbitrary opinions about your personal experiences is pretty stupid.

Open world is seriously over-rated anyway. Unless you mean stuff like properly designed maps that are interconnected and allow for relatively free travel, then open world is just an excuse for developers to not ever bother with level design.

>>14880649

Even then I'd still argue the core gameplay is broken.

Some Pokemon are just too strong and end the fight against each opponent quickly, not wearing them down and just sweeping them. Or you get stat-boosts up via moves or X-Items and become impossible to kill.

Have something OP or make it OP to win. Sure you've got the guessing games at high level play and IV builds- but that's not strategic play. It's strategic guessing. And that ain't as fun.

I do agree the ideas proposed need to be expanded upon, but the core Pokemon RPGs are just too basic and easy to break.

>>14880615

There's a board for things a lot like Pokémon.

>>>/mon/

>>14880666

>Some Pokemon are just too strong

You don't really need to overhaul an entire game's base mechanics to make some balance tweaks, even if pokemon is seriously in need of them.

>not wearing them down and just sweeping them.

So every single unit needs to be a jack of all trades that just beat on each other until one dies? Having distinction between walls and sweepers means the game is broken? Again, this just sounds like what I said before about you playing the easiest versions of the games on the standard (for children) difficulty, where every enemy is just a type resistance and their base stats have almost no impact on how to fight them

>Or you get stat-boosts up via moves or X-Items and become impossible to kill.

>get stat-boost

>impossible to kill.

Unless you're referrring to how average in game opponents are completely hopeless at using any of the game's mechanics aside from attacking, you have no idea what you're talking about

>IV builds

EV builds, which are one of the key components of pokemon team building since it's a major limiting factor and drastically changes the pokemon's role. IVs are almost always identical aside from memes like trick-room or 'minimizing foul play damage'. Grinding for IVs has always been bullshit and I wouldn't miss it in the slightest. Bottlecaps are about the only good thing to come from gen 7, but EVs are fine and stupidly easy to control if you have access to the game's tools for them, which most difficulty hacks give access to.

>It's strategic guessing.

Dude just align your gamestates. Practically every single player game has bullshit RNG, the only problem is when it becomes pvp and people try and get 'competitive'. Also, you can't seriously say that in every single rpg aside from pokemon you are 100% sure about every decision you will make and it's outcome. 'Strategic guessing' is the backbone of strategy, and any purely deterministic strategy game is in fact a puzzle game.

I still like the games, but I and I think most people are more atttached tthe whole idea of a universe where there's collectable monsters in the wild you adventure with and go off and hunt for more then the actual RPG structure of the real games, which is why people have always wanted an MMo for the series

>>14883423

>not even interspecies lesbian sex with a Kirlia or Braixen

Eevee doesn't even look sufficiently girly for that being remotely cute or sexy.

>>14884299

Amiibo required evolution

>>14886465

Sylveon could have worked perfectly fine if it was friendship with a fairy move instead of introducing the Amie gimmick.

>>14884225

I mean the environment and feel, you're still completely right.

>>14886518

Being able to interact more with your Pokemon was a reasonable addition to the series but having Affection and Friendship be two separate, unrelated stats was stupid.

That said, I think all Eeveelutions should just be stone evolutions. There's already sun stones, moon stones, leaf stones, ice stones and shiny stones.

The problem is GF adds these one-off gimmicks but refuses to retcon them so the later games get bogged down with stupid stuff while at the same time dropping good features like following Pokemon and the Pokedex habitat list.

>>14886574

>Being able to interact more with your Pokemon was a reasonable addition to the series but having Affection and Friendship be two separate, unrelated stats was stupid.

Exactly, as for the gimmicks, sucks when you want a Milotic, aren't the beauty massages always timed no matter the game?

>It's not even good

I decided to re-check the new pokemon from Alola (not counting alola forms) I can't believe how shitty 90% of the designs are, only a handful of mons are really appealing to me, this is not even like being a nostalgiafag, I have liked a lot of designs from pokemon old and new but I can't believe I'd rather look out for older pokemon in Alola, not to mention some of the interesting ones are underwhelming, why doesn't Oricoro even learn any elemental move despite having several forms?

Re-checking Milotic evolution requirements…

>Trade with —

Let's say I am not even a competitive player and I just collect them, I don't go and gather with more people to trade so I rely on the GTS and wonder trade… how the fuck am I supposed to reliably get my own of certain pokemon when I have to re-trade to myself?

>>14886717

I don't think they'll break the typing theme. It'll probably be fighting or steel type.

>>14886717

Don't forget you are limited to certain amount of time a day to use that thing, so you can't just do it several times, as usual.

>>14886721

>I don't think they'll break the typing theme

>Suggests types that break the theme

The only option left of the original themeing is Dragon.

Eevees have been, with the exclusion of Sylveon, a type that came later Gen 1-3 Special types.

>>14886731

I meant the theme of it being a type. There hasn't been a stat based eevee.

>>14886724

maybe if anyone invents a fun solo tabletop game that's not sorting cards in some autistic order.

>>14886721

>>14886742

I meant that whatever the new eeveelutions are would have a speed based build, maybe something in the bug or flying category.

>>14886729

I didn't know that, but if it's limited then you can almost bet that it's going to be the method they use to get the new evolutions. I guess it maximizes younger player investment if they unlock something over the course of a few days rather than grind it out in a single sitting.

>>14886772

>I didn't know that, but if it's limited then you can almost bet that it's going to be the method they use to get the new evolutions.

I am just assuming it will be like that given the history of Nintendo's "go out for a while" gimmicks that end up being highly limited for no good reason.

>Pal Park had 24 hour cooldowns for each different version you put into the slot and was limited to only 6 pokemon to transfer.

I would put Pokemon GO stuff but that's just because it is a freemium game.

Pokemon tabletop?

>>14886803

Yes, Pokemon tabletop.

>>14886830

It's a dog that's also a bug. Duh. Like Catdog, but even more fucked up.

>>14886703

Alola Raichu and Ninetails are alright.

>>14886792

Whatever works for the newest gimmick feature in the gen 8 game that will evolve Eevee. What new feature will they add to Gen 8?

>>14886894

>Nimbeon

10/10 name

>CUMleon

Retarded

>>14886929

Where did I mention Illuseon's design? I'm talking about the actual utility of the pokemon. You know, things that are actually useful in a tabletop game without graphics.

>>14876646

same here, it pisses me off

>>14886919

That's why I didn't count the alola forms on the whole rant.

>>14886931

>where

Are you as stoned as your image would suggest? Read the post.

>>14886939

No, I'm just a blind retard. At least it isn't as ugly as Scorpeon. I'd love to have one of those things in real life just so I could keep it on my front porch to scare people away.

>>14886958

Those first three are actually good, better than current nintendo designs

i miss the days when lots of companies were trying to take a bait of the newfound autism by making Mon-collecting-games.

>I miss the days when lots of companies were trying to take a bait of the newfound autism by making Mon-collecting-games no wait, Call of Duty clones, no wait MOBA games, no wait Battle Royale games, no wait…

It's been confirmed that the Pikachu or Eevee started can't evolve in Let's Go.

GF themselves confirmed it dumbass

Still no source.

Nevermind, I found it.

>>14886469

Nah, I'm just gonna literally sit back and snack while enjoying the show. Maybe sneak up and lightly toss a Master Ball at some point in this scenario.

>>14886478

Legitimately yes from a poster that actually isn't a waifufag. It expands opportunities for interaction and doing things outside battling to expand the world (contests or amusement park) along with guaranteeing more delicious Pokegirls.

>>14888536

now i don't know if i'll even pirate it

>>14888561

No.

Sorry.

>>14888589

WHY HAVEN'T THEY RELEASED HG/SS FOR DIGITAL DOWNLOAD REEEEEEEEEEE

>>14889347

But you can digitally download them from the internet, for free even :^)

>>14889382

Yes but I want to be able to actually trade pokemon with my brother like when we where young. So flash cards don't work and we are not going to have a LAN party to trade pokemon.

I already have all the roms except for the newest games. I literally want to be able to buy the best game they made.

>>14889405

wait, why don't flash carts work?

>>14889405

Flash carts do work

>>14889405

Emerald, Platinum and HG/SS were the best handheld Pokemon games ever made. Unfortunately GameFreak couldn't make any games as good as those entries. Despite how good Emerald is, the remakes were a downgrade, removing Battle Frontier of all things was a grave mistake and their excuse was "Our players are casual, they stop after beating the league."

>>14887070

Already picked out my Sage team. Gen V had its good mons, but this just makes it and IV look fucking pathetic.

>>14888589

The biggest problem HGSS has are the massive level spikes near the end, unless you play with a party of just around 2-3 then you will have to grind to keep a full party of 6 at competitive levels.

>>14889829

That wasn't a problem at all. Massive level spikes are what Pokemon NEEDS. It needs difficulty and challenge in the main game. The problem with HG/SS was that they spiked the difficulty and then gave you no decent place to train up in the wild.

>>14890399

they should work, you messed up, only feature that shouldn't work is infrared

>>14876071

anyone who would voluntarily base any game setting on arizona has clearly never been to this hellhole which is basically a province of mexico at this point.

>b-but anon, the desert scenery is beautiful!

its' beauty is meaningless when it's impossible to enjoy it on a personal level due to it being too hot. if you want to go out into the desert and enjoy the 'beautiful' scenery, you'll have a good time for 30 seconds until your clothes are sticking to your sweaty body and you begin to feel the onset of heatstroke. fuck this place.

sage for offtopic.

>>14903035

>>but there aren't enough fuckable mons

not every game needs to appeal to your dick

>>14902901

>>14903035

What's the name of this artist? I really like those pics, especially that Stakataka pic.

>>14903324

Have you tried searching pixiv with togedemaru and stakataka's jap names?

>>14903365

You need a login for that

>>14903376

just make an account

>>14903035

that moth that you can get from an egg is nice, paramoth was it?

>>14857999

For doubles combat nice trips, by the way, i'd make it so moves could be combined in some way, either having moves combine into a super move, or having compound effects when two are used on the same enemy, like water moves causing electric moves during the same turn to do more damage, or ice moves removing burn that was recently applied.

For singles, I think creating some sort of stance change or positioning mechanic would spice things up. For stance changes, you could have offensive/defensive stances, or with pokemon like Blaziken, you could have fighting and fire stances, with moves adding fire buffs to fighting moves. Positioning would just be having certain moves having different reaches and having speed tie into how much you can move before your turn ends, but I think it would be enough of a change to breathe some life into the series.

>>14903894

Jump into the fullderp thread. Watch battles, lurk, see what works against what. As long as you pay attention, you'll learn pretty fast what people tend to use, what those things they use tend to do, and what fucks those things over.

~t a guy who knew fuckall about pokemon before he did just that

>>14903981

Gotcha, I'll do that.

I've always seen the Fullderp threads but never stopped in to see what they were. It's nice how well it streams.

>>14902176

100% agreed. Although the swimmer girls feel like a step down in gen 6 and 7. Their proportions look weird.

>>14902167

Hawlucha is good, but I would've preffered it if it had a baby form or a proper evo (or was introduced in a spanish-inspired region). Anyway, I just like seeing them metamorphose into their next stage which to me feels like seeing them mature and go on to adulthood, and that warms me up for some reason.

>>14884299

It would definitely benefit from "villain of the week" sidequests. I remember when I was a young lad and I had a dream about a 3D Pokemon game where the dumb giant mechanical Pokemon that Team Rocket would sometimes employ appeared as bossfights. I think they're missing a golden opportunity by not having the gangster factions weird contraptions appear as boss battles.

Not even real photos have chromatic aberration anymore. Artists must cease this practice at once.
