New storyline (like the change from Chromatics to Metallics)

Some species need to become extinct to make room for new ones.

No more new types.

Multiple trainer battle.

What non-RPG Pokémon games should there be?

---

Nothing but water for miles in each direction... ^_^

Some mini-game battles would be nifty.

1. No more screwing around with the freaking Game Corner for rare Pokemon; pet shop type stores would actually kick ass, in which it would allow you to buy low level, basic forms of stuff for cheap, and it'd also allow for the creation of things like attachable toy items to help those bloody happiness evolutions.

2. Making it an RPG with choices in what happens wouldn't be all that bad, either. Take some of the linearness out of it. Multiple endings would be hella cool...and actually give the entire game a smidge of replay value, other than constantly battling the E4 to train.

3. Two or three trainers who you can fight an unlimited number of times, and not only does your stuff grow, but so does theirs. Eventually, instant 6-v-6 L100 battles, the true test of a team...eh? Or, being able to select from multiple opponents in the Holo Trainer House. Or something that'll let you adjust the level of what you're fighting without a GS, for training purposes.

4. Give Poison types a reason to live.

I think that's everything...

-Rain Dance

2) Lots more badges, so we don't get bored. (Imagines Johto, Kanto, Orange leagues with R-2 modes)

3) All TM's should be replaceable... :-|

4) Trainers get stronger every time they're beaten. (And you can challenge every trainer as many times as you like.)

5) Game's phone works with the Mobile Phone Adapter.

UMBREON used MOONLIGHT!
*camera tilts upwards to show the sky*
If it's night, there's a cool sound (Like a wolf howling or such), but if the sun is up... A "WROOOOOOOONG!"-type sound

A real storyline. Not like "Oh no, the evil Team Rocket is there, kill 'em all and I'll give you the Master Ball, then you can go and beat the Elite Four."

A place where there are HARD pokémon. Like level 100. But you don't have to be able to catch them, just fight them for exp.

And a SKILLED trainer. Somebody who knows what he's doing. And knows when to change pokémon.

quote:

4. Give Poison types a reason to live.

---

I'd like to see a game where you could start your own gym, then work to get it a place on the League's required badge list.

Penguinz 0wn.

So do Lobsterz:

1.) NO NEW POKEMON!(A penguin would be nice, tho) We have too many already, more than I can remember half the time!

2.) Game should be overall, a lot more realistic. In the Anime(yes, I know, I know), a pokemon isn't good with an attack right of it learns it...It becomes more experianced and familiar with it, and I think that'd be cool in the GB/Advance/whatever game.

3.) You should intreact with the habitat and actually see the pokemon. Not have pokemon "fight" you every three steps. Pokemon should be hard(er) to catch.

Thatz all for now.

I think there should be a gryphon pokemon, one that looks like a raven, and yes, defenetly a penguin pokemon, although, there are too many already...

And I really do wish my poor Arbok hand a reason to live.

Oh! I forgot, what would be really cool is, a special link cable that you could hook up to your computer and battle and trade with people online!

2. Mini Pokemon Stadium where you get to make 6 pokemon for you to battle with.

3. Cool underground illegal pokemon drug market.

Chop off Slowpokes tail and sell it!
Rip off Cubone's Skill and sell it!
Steal Kadabra's Spoon and sell it!
Bottle Oddish's Stun Spore and sell it!
Bribe Officer Jenny to look the other way!

And most importantly, Dope enemy Pokemon and steal them!

[edit] Yay! Me now Sludge Bomb! Oh, crap, I lost Footitch's protection. Dang.

Go! Pichu!
Pichu used Charm!
Golem used Rock Slide!

2. Attacks - Attacks can actually become more powerful by using an attack multiple times. It also becomes more accurate. This would be because a Pokemon would become more familiar with the move.

3. Animation - More individual for the fighting Pokemon.

4. Characters - You can create your own personal character, including hair, clothes, etc. So, you could be a Cool Trainer, a Swimmer, a Rocket, etc.

5. Type Alterations - Make Grass and Poison Pokemon WORTH using. Change/add types to TOTALLY balance out the system.

6. Gym - You can own your own Gym, create your own badge, etc.

I've got a whole list:
(1)The ability to explore and meet peeps on the magnet train. You would have the option to sit next to who you want.
(2)Cameos from anime characters.
(3)The ability to watch (pokemon related)TV in people's houses play Ash's N64
(4)The whole world(Johto and Kanto)in 3D.
(5)Every single building in the game is open to the public.
(6)Every inch of every building is explorable.
(7)Swimming pools.

Hmm, well, the game isn't very realistic. You never feed them, tend to their needs, they never tire of battling, don't require sleep or anything a creature requires. I'd say add a life to them. Give them personalities, life spans, an apetite! Make them living creatures and not little slaves that you can whip around. It gives the game a challenge.

Also, instead of keeping them in Pokeballs let them run around with you, I'd like to have my team follow me around.

Also, stats. Why can't you maxx them out? If they train long enough you should be able to, I don't like how they stop at some withering low stats...

The Elite 4 needs to get better as well. Same level day in day out....also, your enemy. Same level again and again...Raise them!

Mmm, that's about it, maybe have the game be in a N64 format, 3D would be interesting! But gamebow is convinient

quote:

More moves, more Ghosts, more Steels, more Darks, and more
Dragons. If I remember correctly, there are only 4 ghosts
and dragons, and only 6 each of Steel and Dark types.

Also, the ability to overcome weaknesses... for example,
if my Dragonite gets hit with Ice attacks often enough
without fainting, it could build up a resistance to Ice
and not take the entire x4 damage from it! On second
thought... maybe only the ability to overcome double
weaknesses like that... Ex:Water/Flying vs Electric...

That is why we have pink shiney butterfrees. Although a variation of markings would be nice, maybe even for males and females, but I agree with the seasons thing. We should have it divided with three main seasons:

Winter
Map Change - There is snow on the ground and trees.

Summer (spring is about the same thing)
Map Change - Normal as what we have right now.

Fall
Map Change - Leaves and trees that have pretty colors.

Then there can be different condiditions that can happen depending on the season:

Normal
When - Always unless one of the following is active.
Effect - None

Rain
Looks Like On Map - Rain falling
Random When - Anytime
Effect - It has the effect of Rain Dance through the battle, unless you change it with Sunny Day or Sandstorm, or if it is a link battle. If the effect of another attack goes away it goes to the "normal condition".

Snow
Looks Like On Map - Snow falling
Random When - Winter
Effect - Ice attacks do 50% more, unless changed with Sunny Day, Rain Dance, or Sandstorm. If the effect of another attack goes away it goes to the "normal condition".

Sunny Day
Looks Like On Map - Everything seems brighter
Random When - Summer
It has the effect of Sunny Day unless changed with Rain Dance or Sandstorm. If the effect of another attack goes away it goes to the "normal condition".

Each type of weather except normal has a 5% chance of happening for the whole day. I can't find any flaws in this idea and it would probably make gameplay even more life-like. Just like with day, depending on the condition different Pokémon can come out. To make it fair, all the same Pokémon stay in the same places year round, but the percents change and some extras may appear depending on the season and condition.

To bad Nintendo never takes ideas from fans even though this idea would definately make people like it even more...

Anyway, I'll state my ideals. My idea would be that of a calendar (yes, I know it was mentioned before.) But have things like Holidays and so forth that are based on the Anime and real life.

In otherwords, in the USA, it'd celebrate Thankgiving on the actual day, and while other countries would have it celebrated on their own corresponding days. For the Anime based holidays, things like Princess Day (is that what it's called?) and Pokémon Day.

And how about a birthday? Wouldn't it be nice to get a rare item or Pokémon on a day as momentous as that?

Now, to give slight explanation on how this could be possible, the Poké Gear will ask for your location (country, state, city, etc.) and adds the holidays that corresponds, any Anime Holidays are preprogrammed without questions asked. And for the people who don't celebrate things like Christmas, the holidays that are "assumed" and added because of where you live, are removable and able to be reaplied. Your birthday could simply be asked by the Prof. or has to programmed into the Poké Gear.

Well, there's my idea, perhaps I'll throw another one up tomorrow.

Seeing as they've already done different images for different versions for the Pokémon, I think that next step for that could be different images based on gender. Imagine seeing a female Arbok and a male Arbok having different designs based on their gender, or perhaps a female Mr.Mime looking a bit more feminine, while male Mr.Mime finally have muscles , even if only slightly ^_^

You could split your team and battle at the pokemon center against each other. And if one side wins alot the other side will get unhappier. And when you battle you could encourage your pokemon. Like:
"Your doing great!"
"Keep it up!"
Or if your mean:
"You call THAT an attack!"
"My Pidgey could beat you!"

And when you shout stuff they get happy and their attacks are a bit stronger, or maybe they stop listening.

quote:

I believe there should be lifespans, in the wild. Say that a Trainers Pokemon can't die becuase of the bond between Trainer and Pokemon, or that Pokeballs prevent it. This is sort of expanding on my tribes/groups of Pokemon in the wild. eg, A Charizard swarm on Cinnabar Island Volcano.

The leader would be the strongest Charizard, and if s/he died, all the Charizard would battle each other until a winner or leader was established. This would leave most of them very weak and you could either;

a) Be mean and catch them all and have them despise you
b) Give them Potions and stuff and gain they're trust and catch happy strong content Charizards and be able to take Charmander eggs from the tribe and raise them as your own.

Okay, it's from the Pokemon Forever Forum.

As for balancing Poison, it should be super-effective against Water and Bug. Also, either lose the weakness to Ground or make them SE against Fighting.

And the most important thing... I want to option to become an evil trainer and join Team Rocket!

Oh, and a massively-multiplayer online Pokemon game with all of the above would be nice...

"He looks a bit like a Chinese."
-- Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien, introducing a Filipino MP to a group of Chinese law students

MewtwoSama: Actual interaction in battle
OrientalNoodle: REAL battle animation
Flareon: Attack graphics are different depending on the Pokémon
Porygone: More individual animation
Of course that would be in Pokémon Stadium GameCube, and I imagine that you plug in your GBA as a GameCube controller so that the move list shows up on your GBA screen, so you get total privacy with your moves. I wouldn't know for the GBA RPGs themselves...

MewtwoSama: Some species need to become extinct
Jman: No New Pokémon
I don't think Nintendo would eliminate Pokémon, although that would be a great idea..., but they should introduce 4 Pokémon and 4 Attacks to round out the 1-byte list so you don't get Glitch Pokémon.

MewtwoSama: No more new types
oporaca: One or two new types to even out FGT, FIR, and Machamp/Houndoom
I am in indifference, although I found Houndoom easy to beat...

Rain Dance: Give Poison types a reason to live
oporaca: ...as well as Poison
Cesar: Make POI SE vs DRK
OrientalNoodle: Skill catching
Porygone: Make GRA and POI worth using
White Cat: POI SE vs WAT, BUG, FGT, and lose the weakness vs GRO
My thoughts exactly, but I thought POI was already SE against Dark, Bug, and Fighting, and Water SE vs Poison..., but in all cases, the battle system needs to and probably will be reworked.

MewtwoSama: Multiple trainer battle
Porygone: Environment Interaction
White Cat: Online MP Pokémon battles
I, too, would like to see various different battle formats, from minigame battles to Texas Tornado Rules (where everyone is in at the same time), Multi-trainer FFAs, field changes (Space Battle!), Trainer Teams, switching/bench restrictions, and more stuff in that category. Definitely would make Pokémon Stadium GameCube a must-buy for the ultimate in MP Pokémon experience (after all, it WOULD take advantage of that cable modem there...) I'd like to see a "create your own Cup" mode for Pokémon Stadium GameCube, and a REAL Pokémon League complete with Ranking Points and a 9-Round single elimination system like the anime.

Rolken: Orange League
oporaca: Lots more badges, with R2 modes
Rain Dance: 2 or 3 Unlimited-Fight Trainers
oporaca: Trainers get stonger every time they're beaten and you can challenge every trainer as many times as you like
OrientalNoodle: A SKILLED trainer
Flareon: Battle gym leaders again
abz1986: Mini-Stadium
It's sorta there in GS, but I think every trainer should be infinitely fightable with a conscious AI. Trainers standing in the middle of a road wouldn't make sense, so I'd like to see them move out of their spots. This also goes for gym Leaders and E4, too. I'd like a mini-game League too.

Rain Dance: No more screwing around with Game Corner for rare Pokémon
Since when were they rare?

Rain Dance: Pet Shops and Toy Items
It would make the game more kid-friendly..

oporaca: All TMs should be replaceable
doralee23: TM store!
Agreed. There should be no more HMs.

oporaca: Game's phone works with the MPA
Yes, it doesn't make sense in Crystal.

doralee23: All pokémon should have genders
How do you tell a Male Porygon and a Female Porygon apart? Please explain.

doralee23: Lots more "inbetween towns"!
I wish that the versions of Pokémon Advance would have different MAPS! This would make each game more challenging in its won right, but if that's not possible, this would be the next best thing.

OrientalNoodle: A place where there are HARD Pokémon
I'd like the Pokémon Advance version of Silver Cave/Cerulean Cave be L100 Pokémon, too.

Flareon: Mew without a tour
I could care less.

Flareon: More emotions
Agreed. Could crying increase water power? Angry increase Dark?

Jman: Pokémon being familiar with attacks
Porygone: Using an attack multiple times would make the attack more powerful
I agree completely, and this would make the real distinction between learning Fire Blast from TM and learning Fire Blast from Level or breeding, and having the disadvantage fade out from extensive use.

Jman: Interact with the habitat
COOL!

CrystalMeth: GB to computer cable
Too easy to use it to rip the ROM and post it on the internet..., and the MPA does some of the functions it does already.

abz1986: TR uses weapons
So should you and everyone else...

abz1986: Illegal Pokémon market
Tghost: Dope-and-steal
That's nice... adds a little more fun to the game...

Porygone: Create your own personal character
White Cat: Join Team Rocket
I'd like that.

Well, in a future game, I'd like to see Teleport find some use in link battles. I don't care if it's a stupid effect or a really cool "don't leave home without it" effect. It's just that they've given both Roar and Whirlwind an use in G/S/C link battles, so to be fair, I think Teleport should also have some use.

Type: Normal
10 PP
Base power: 60
Hits to the other player's bench (Or whatever you call it in the GB game) :P

I love the idea of having to actualy take care of your pokemon, feed them and stuff. And this could have effect on them in battle, like, maybe if they're too hungry their defence goes down, or if they're too tired their atack goes down, something like that, or maybe even if you feed them too much there speed goes down, cuz they get fat! heh...

Here's what Poison's like in G/S:

Strong against: Grass
Weak against: Ground, Rock, Ghost
Useless against: Steel
Weak to: Ground, Psychic
Resistant to: Grass, Fighting, Poison, Bug

Actually...can't Teleport get you out of Wrap and Mean Look?

I've never heard that before, but I'll test it...

2) More pure ghosts, Dragons, and a pure Steel Pokemon. Pure Flying and Ice as well.

3) I'd like to see another world, bump up the gyms to 24. After beating this, you'd need four badges to get to the Elite 4, who have level 55-65 Pokemon like in the chromatics. After beating another 12 gyms (including Gary in Viridian Gym with his L70 team), you'd open up the Master's Cave, with Pokemon that grow with you.

I'm sure that I will think of more later.

------------------
"Do or do not; there is no try" --Yoda from Star Wars

What would be nice is if your pokemon don't "forget" moves but rather they can only have 4 moves "ready" at a certain time. So as your poke learns new attacks, you can swap them around to test different combos, and lets you customize for different fights without a gameshark.

Create your own battle format
You can set the rules your way, with variables like how many Pokémon are in at a time, the max bench limit, the level limit, the height/weight limit, the SE limit, the sleep/freeze duration limit, and the species limit. You could also set switching rules and various "popular" clauses (sleep, etc). Then save it and transfer it to another PKGBA game. Then kick some ass with it. Seriously, I find this idea to be more effective than Pokegod's idea, but there is some validity in his argument.

The second idea is but upon the first, but it's basically...

Create your own Cup
Make your own Pokémon league to win. You can make it as easy or as challenging as you like. You can customize the road to the championship, such as if you have to take on a four-team endurace match (ie. 24-on-6 with no items), or a 9-round single elimination tourney (ie. anime-style), or even a one-on-one match, all with your own custom-saved rules, or even to the point where no effort is required (ie. Karp fainting contest, you win when you beat the record). It would be a nice alternative to facing 5 trainers with pack-recharge over and over again.

My only beef with having more Pokémon and more types, or more items, for that matter, is when you exceed the one-byte marker, there are going to be a LOT more glitch Pokémon, and a lot more real ones too. I'd say that there should not be more than 254 Pokémon, 254 attacks, and 254 items, and ideally, but now it isn't so (not even with the chromatics), 14 types (not including "Typeless").

An Idea I once came up with was having two main characters who, although rivals, are friends too. And at various points, you switch from one to the other.

-another thing that could be fun:more a pokemon use an attack,more this attack become powerful.Not deadly/OHKO for any attack,just a bonus like STAB when this thing is at MAX.

-working resistance against weaknesses (waterproof sandslash)

-a legendary pure dragon

-other types of starters

-maybe 2 more types,but what? (we have demon,why not angelic? )

-a persistant world (like ultima online)

-other ways to gain money

-a shovel,to dig like in zelda GB,and maybe find items or fossils

------------------
teehee! just a thought: THE MASTER could be a paranoid schizophrenic stalker hacker serial killer. =P boy are you in trouble! -spunman about TheMaster

Weather should be a part of the next Pokémon games. Some days it is, say, rainy, some snowy, some sunny, etc. Certain Pokémon only come out when it is snowy, rainy, etc. For example, Pokémon like Jynx and Articuno would only come out when it is snowy, Pokémon like Growlithe and Vulpix only come out when it is sunny, etc. I know it would be a lot of work to program, and it would be a huge pain in the arse to catch 'em all, but it's an idea.

Also, there really should be tougher AI. I mean, I whooped Red in Gold with Pokémon slightly above level 40. You should actually have to think when fighting the Elite Four, use strategy, etc. Not only will this make it more fun for the experienced players, but it will show newbies that there is more to battling than brute force.

Hmm... what else... new Pokémon types are to be expected, more moves are to be expected, new strategies... blah blah blah.

There's my two cents.

...

...it was just an idea...

Anyhoo, POISON NEEDS HELP!!! Of course, that's been said enough already. But it really does.

Eh. It'd be cool if they made a new Elemental Triangle for the starters. I mean, Grass/Poison, Water, Fire/Flying; Grass, Water, Fire: It's pretty burned up.

Also, make the three legendaries of the game Dragons! How cool would that be? An Electric, fire, and ice dragon, or something like that. Now that would be cool. "The Three Legendary Dragons". Yeeeeaaah... but they probably won't.

And lastly, no more sup'ed up Psychs!!! Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Celebie... how much more can we take? It'd be really spiffy if the 'new M2' was a Poison type. Man, that would be rockin'!

Fixing the weak-types I REALLY agree with--Poison has always been screwed over.

No abolishment of HMs, but rather, HMs can be re-used AND erased at will for a new move. (Without having to go to a special'Move-Deleter')

All the TMS from R/B/Y, G/S, and whatever new ones available for sale at stores. Maybe only make them available after you have found each TM yourself? (So its not totally easy to get them) I miss Seismic Toss and Body Slam...and why have to breed for them when they could just be sold as TMs? Save breeding for more unique moves.

1) Give Lickitung an evolution
2) Give Seaking an evolution
3) Allow inorganic Pokemon to breed with each other (c'mon, they could recombinate pieces into a new Pokemon, right?)
4) Make a completely non-linear plot; its pretty much like a wide open MUD, and you decide where to go when you feel like it (and are capable of doing such)
5) Some new Pokemon would be nice, but sure as Hel not 100 new ones! Fifty or twenty-five or something would be a'ight.

Then, there are three things, one of which they MUST do:
1) Make Poison not suck! Give it somethin', people!
2) Make the new M2 Pokemon Poison typed and ultimate.
3) Make a new type, most likely the Light type. Make a slew of new Pokemon this type, including the new M2 Pokemon.
And then, make it hurt by Poison.
Boo yah.

Visit Reality's End, the Home Page of Phantasy and the R.E. League

Attacks are strong against Psychic, Dark, and Water
Attacks are weak against Grass and Poison
Defends Water, Psychic
Invulnerable to Dark, Fighting
Weak to Poison, Grass, Flying

Grass and Flying are two other shafted types.

To expand on the TM idea: Maybe the best move of each element could be a TM. I'd certainly pay good money to get Drill Peck, a decent Bug move, and Ice Beam as TM moves.

One more thing I thought of today... make Ghost a Special move and Dragon a physical move. It makes no sense that the STAB moves of those types suck so much.

Noooooo.

That'd completely destroy any individuality the Pokemon had left in G/S.

1 - Actual type balance(poison needs some help)

2 - A good ghost type(like one with an incredible attack stat)

3 - An actual pokemon league! After beating the Elite 4, you should be able to enter a realistic "league" full of pre-programmed individual trainers, with their own preferences and battle tactics. And they should be GOOD trainers, too. At least with the AI you see in Stadium. I'd also expect full stat-tracking, such as a W-L record, and maybe even a Most Valuable Pokemon award.

4 - Online play - This one's obvious.

5 - New TM-like moves - I think it'd be cool if you had to use your pokemon's moves to solve puzzles and stuff. Like, if you had to use your Venusaur's vine whip to get across a gap(a la Link's hookshot). This could add tons of variety to the sometimes-monotonous gameplay.

6 - New weather effects(someone already mentioned this)

7 - Complex breeding - Instead of having the baby pokemon be completely like it's mother, I think it'd be cool if you could make up totally new type and move combinations. Like, you breed a water and a fire type together, you get a water/fire type. Of course there would have to be things programmed in to prevent cheapness, and these cross-breeds probably wouldn't be allowed in tourneys, but it'd still be pretty damn cool.

8 - A REAL STORYLINE, DAMMIT.

Well, that's pretty much it for now. I've got more ideas, but the poor little GBA probably wouldn't be able to handle them. *hopes for a GameCube-specific Pokemon title*

[Edit]Playing as Misty would be fun [/Edit]
------------------
Sama get's down to last Poke (Golem);Enemy has Gengar out.Sama uses Explosion anyway.-MewtwoSama,on "how to waste a golem quickly"

Venusaur that can learn Earthquake.

A light type would be really cool.

For the record, I am sure they are making new Pokemon. I think it was at IGN that I saw an article about NOJ showing off three new Pokemon that will be in the next version. oh boy...

I also want more Dragons.

I also want poison beefed up.

Odd that lots of people thought the same.

I can't complain much about the metallics, though. Things aren't nearly as silly as chromatic land...

EEVEE is crying and can't attack!

If I saw this I'd mail NCL a punch in the face.

2. A new type that balances out the above types. Futhermore, the new type should be Super Effective against Fighting-types.

3. A non-linear plot with evil villians.

4. Infinite random trainers, which use Pokémon of similar statistics.

5. Realistic Pokémon battles. If these creatures are fighting to a near-death status, I'd expect them to act differently with 1 HP then with full HP.

6. More switch-oriented moves (Pursuit, Spikes, Roar, and Whirlwind). Switching is a major part of Pokémon, so a wise trainer should be able to manipulate their opponent's switching.

7. Balance out the Super Legendaries.

8. Hidden Power clause.

2. Being poisoned is more damaging. slows your opponent down and maybey prevents recovery moves working.

3. pokemon that levitate (geodude, koffing, etc.) are unaffected by ground moves.

4. Un-evolved pokemon are cute and opponents will not want to hurt them.
