If I Made a Pokemon Game

DODGE IT, PIKACHU

How about a real plot, one that's actually a bit darker rather than "incredibly happy utopian land where all problems are solved and we just mess around with pokemon"

It's still slotted as a kid's game, and the translations are done by Nintendo of America.

It's not going to happen, chances are that the stories are a bit darker in Japan in original context, but all that gets lost in translation on the way over here.

platinum was actually p. dark quite frankly

well of course you don't. why would you make a team to beat the main story that's already incredibly easy?

I know that I'd only want to create one team

imo it's stupid to waste all that time leveling up pokemon, then discarding them completely to start a new one from scratch

you know there's an option for wifi battles where you can autolevel pokemon to 50 or 100 right

i think you misread me

by "leveling up", I mean the ones that you use for the main story
then the next team you'd have to spend a lot of time ev training

Pokemon+

not like you can't EV train your story team but that would be silly

Only that one part with Giratina in my opinion. Hell, it looks like they actually made it even MORE kid friendly than d/p. Like how the girl in Snowpoint says "Oh you have a scarf? It's pretty cool!" rather than "Oh you only have a scarf? Aren't you cold with that little thing?" or how the sailor's wife says "Our boy is too energetic, and that's the best way to be!" rather than "Our boy is too energetic, I wish he'd calm down!"

You're nitpicking lines from NPCs that nobody really cares about or remembers. D:

Takes double the time!

Remember, you don't even have Macho Brace or anything early on in the game. Also remember that you are forced to fight many Pokemon that you don't need EVs from.



Oh but wait, EV altering berries, eh? That in itself takes a lot of time, to farm all those berries.

Other NPCs had their lines changed too. And I'm just saying that Platinum felt a bit more cheery except for a few things Team Galactic did.

All that I noticed other than what seemed like a much more sinister Team Galactic was that the story was moved along much faster, especially in the beginning. The rest of it is pretty much about the same as far as I can recall other than the obvious Looker interjection and Team Galactic stuff.

get some friends to send you items and **** I guess idk

Lupo, that's not really the point. The point is that EVs/IVs are something that add unnecessary grinding to an already grind-centric game. EVs and IVs are hidden values for a reason, they were never really meant to be manipulated like they are.

But anyway, the argument is pretty moot considering it was just an idea to have an option to either enable or disable EV/IVs in a topic about what you would add to Pokemon if you made a game for it.

they also add personalization and make every pokemon different and not just the same ****. you can play a defensive magnezone, which is FAR different from an offensive choice scarf magnezone for example. this would NOT be possible if you couldn't customize the stats of your pokemon by training.

I still like the idea of gaining EVs when defeating any Pokemon, but you can willfully distribute them without having to battle specific Pokemon.

Well, I think you guys should get off your lazy ashes, get on game maker, and start the magic already!

HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR!
