[Idea] Russian Pokémon

I like the region, but I was just wondering, where'd the starter town be?

You could also have the gym leaders represent allies and/or enemies of russia during the time... like, maybe a gym leader named Dwight. (as in Dwight Eisenhower), or Kai-Shek (as in Chinese/Taiwanese leader Chiang Kai-Shek)

o.o just a thought...

He was basically the polar opposite of Shukov - had no pride whatsoever, which gave me the idea.
...Of course my English teacher last year told me all this, but whatever =P. He would be more the rival that follows you about, mooching off your success, and stabbing you in the back when you appear to be losing. It was a joke, really, seeing as it was about the closest I've come to studying Russian history.

The ball thing was a reference to this.

Well, that might work actually. I might Anglicize it a bit, though.

And I'll have you know that I've had that going round in my head for two days. xD I am the man who arrrrranges the blocks...

By the leaders, I meant that during the revolution different Soviets were set up in different towns.

The Soviets could be represented by Gyms, where you can go in and challenge the leader.

Oh, alright. That's pretty neat, actually. I might work with that. :3

Eight. Follow the route numbers to see how I imagined it working. ^_^

Hm, that might work. Again, I'll definitely consider it.

Nothing on Unity? I'll assume that because no-one's moaned, everyone's happy with the idea. xD

I like the idea, I like it alot. Maybe the ancient pokemon could be be based on atomic energy(atom bomb) and its counterpart (if there will be one) based on hydrogen energy(hydrogen bomb), I mean it's Russia.
- just a thought on the subject =3

a better name would be the hydro bomb, but that is a great idea

Yeah, I think that could work. Unless we don't go with fakes at all. Our programmer, Christopher, thought it might be a nice idea to simply have variations on original Pokémon. You can read about it at our forum linked in my signature.

If you succed to finish it, this game will surely be successful.

But I wast hinking, if the Team is based on Communists, then all of the members should be grunts, equals. Or at least, that's what the grunts think...

I would help with this, but I can't do anything. Good luck, anyway.

To paraphrase George Orwell, some grunts will be more equal than others. ;D

Update
Just a small one, granted, but I'd like to welcome Christopher (Java's Missingno), elarmasecreta and dinosaurodon to the team officially. Equally, we've come up with a name of:

Thoughts on that welcome.

Finally, Chris pitched the idea of not using Fakemon, but instead using existing ones and modifying them to suit the region. For instance, in a radioactive area, Koffing and Weezing might develop a fire typing and fire-related moves. I'm torn on the idea. Thoughts?

You can read more about both of these on the forum linked in my signature.

Radioactive sounds like a good idea. I'd imagine more types would be part ghost now since they would "die". More Fire and Poison typing's make sense too. As does having certain PokéMon lose a typing. Like, for example... radioactivity causes Lapras to be pure water as ice melted away, or something...

A Dodrio with only two heads, perhaps? A one-eyed Claydol?

Just stopped by and I must say this looks quite interesting.
Although I do like the concept of no fakemon, but modifying the originals, there are just some concepts that I feel cannot be ignored.
I was looking through some old sketches and I found some Ice/Steel pokemon based on Cossacks.
I remember there was a game a while back that only had one line of fakes, which I thought was pretty cool.
EDIT: Haha it seems the next poster's game was the one I mentioned with a single line of fakes, Jellyfish tbe.

So far this sounds like a great idea. Maybe in a radioactive area have a three eyed magikarp or goldeen in a polluted lake (Referencing the Simpsons). And if you want to go one step further have the trainer use that Pokemon to get the factory (run by Team Unity) shutdown.

An iceless Lapras. I like that. Yes.

Perhaps, but why? What would give those an advantage in strange conditions?

I do like the three-eyed idea. xD Excellent.

So, there's another thread open to discuss this in detail at the forum. Meanwhile, I'm pleased to welcome Ravecat and AceDragonite to the team. :D

Hmm...Pretty well concept. Perhaps, I can work on the Evil Team Grunt/Executive/Boss and Gym Leaders. As for the Sprites you can call the other member to do it. What do you think?

I've updated the OP with some more info.

Are you looking for any help with this project?

Yes. Yes we are.

some ideas

first of all, what are the starter pokemon? I think you should do a starter triangle like the original games but with diffrent pokemon and types, here is 1 triangle: fighting, dark, psychic. Another triangle is:ground, fire, and ice. Also you should add a bigger team that helps out the main character whenever their paths cross, so that there would be a bad-guy team AND a (OFFICIAL) good-guy team. The bad guy team should be renamed from team magma to team blood (from the title of this hack) and the good guys team star (also from the title). Also the hack could be called Pokemon: The Russian World.... just a few ideas. Hope you let me join the team as an idealist and beta tester.... I have more ideas if ya want......
