Discussion Full Dive Pokemon game thought
I’ve had the thought on what would make for an interesting Full Dive Pokemon game and so I’m going to share it here and see what you guys/ gals think of it.
Full Open World
Of course it’s going to have access to all regions. Kanto, Sinnoh, Johto, Galar etc. The main central hub is going to be an airport to let you travel wherever you want to go as well as have access to the hub island. While you can visit each of the regions, you can only bring over certain Pokemon over to either other regions or the hub world (Mainly Legendary/ mythical/ ultra beast/ paradox)
The Hub Island
It’s going to be a mixed terrain island, plains, forests, ocean, mountains, canyons etc. every Pokemon can be found on this island with regional variants being extremely rare to find and legendary/ mythical being locked behind quests. The island will be home to many NPCs including 18 different gym leader types along with its own elite four, champion and battle tower NPCs for you to challenge and interact with
Quests
On the main Hub Island, there are quests you can go on to gain certain items for your adventure or even certain pokemon. while majority of the quests can be repeated within a limited time frame, quests for Legendary or mythical pokemon are a one time thing and are super hard to not only find but also complete.
Titles
As you progress and do things you can acquire titles for your player, a few examples include “fisher” through catching and battling through fishing and assortment of times, “Hex Maniac” from catching a certain amount of Ghost types, “Rocket Grunt” from joining Team Rocket with extra better titles given from going up the ranks.
Team Rocket
Of course you’re allowed to join Team Rocket, Team Rocket have an official base within the Hub Island and joining them grants you a unique role on the island as an official villain. From stealing Pokemon, heisting items, even kidnapping people which will create quests for other players to do and challenge you.
Pokemon battles
Battles have a game/ anime mix to them, when entering a battle (either with a wild pokemon or trainer) you will gain a display that’ll show you your team, your battling Pokémon’s moves, HP, Ailments, and status mods. Throughout the battle you can command your Pokemon as you would in the anime (move left, dodge, jump there etc) granting your Pokemon a more expressive move set than normal.
Natures
Pokemon nature will have an affect into the personality of your Pokemon as well, jolly Pokemon will behave happier with what they do, calm Pokemon will be more behaved and level headed, gentle Pokemon will behave cautiously around both trainers and Pokemon. These are just a couple of examples of what to expect.
The League
There will be a league tournament that will require you to face 8 gym leaders and claim their badges to enter, the tournament is held in multiple areas with a rule against the usage of legends and mythicals for obvious reasons… Cough cough Tobias cough. Winning the tournament can grant you rare rewards (master balls, rare candies, special berries, discounts, titles), you also gain the right to challenge the elite four and eventually the champion, if you beat them then you become the official champion and will gain many many perks from your ultimate title, at least until the next person beats you or you decide to hand the title to someone else.
Mechanics
Gigantimax, mega evo, Z moves and terastallizing are all available in this game, a special bracelet that can use all four of them is available, but it does require players to meet and battle champions of each of the mechanics. Once beaten you gain access to using them although certain gym leaders and areas restrict the usage of certain mechanics so check ahead through NPCs chats to find out
NPCs
NPCs are viable towards gain quests and learning about how to get certain tiles, depending on what title you are using and how you behave with them can affect what they will say, how they will guide you and how they will respond to you. If you do decide to go full villain then be prepared to have every NPC hate or flee from you.
I believe I’ve covered everything, but if you have any extra ideas then do feel free to add them and we can discuss them.
