Idea to play all 5 Regions?
I've always wondered how would everyone loved to play a Pokemon game like this. Play the game A LOT like the journey of Ash. You start in Kanto with the first Start Pokemon and do the story. Each has their newest addition, like FireRed/LeafGreen, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Emerald, Platinum and let's just say Gray. Then after you beat the Elite Fours & Champion Lance, get your Mewtwo, you go to Johto. I would love to play a game to visit Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh & Unova all in one. And facing different Elite Fours/Champions each time. The professor of the region you're leaving gives you the next generation's Pokemon and so on. Unova region will probably be level 100's for the Elite Four/Champion Alder by the time we get there lol
Bad Idea? |
I have always wanted to go to other regions too in one game. It would be cool to catch all Pokémon in one game pretty easy and travel between regions. But if Unova's trainers has level 100 Pokémon then it would be very slow and boring to train your Pokémon to higher levels.
But I have to say that this is great idea though few bad things. |
^ Like the above poster said, while the idea is cool, leveling might become a problem. They might actually have to bypass the 100 limit as well to keep things interesting.

OR Like HeartGold/SoulSilver, Kanto's Gym Leaders are all high levels in the 50's-60's. (Switch Kanto with Johto) Hoenn will have higher, in the 70's or so and there's Sinnoh & Unova for higher leveling, with rematches included. I was also involving each Elite Four for each Regions. You know, first 4 Elite Four being the original with Blue as Champion, through Johto Blue steps down and you practically rematch Koga, Bruno, and faced the newer Elite Four and face Lance as Champion this time, then face the other Elite Four to face Steven, Cynthia & Alder. I would very much love to face then all in order without switching games lol Red to still be the last strongest trainer? Team Rocket, Team Magma & Aqua, Team Galactic all to be involved for their specific region would be awesome too. |
It would be awesome but I think the game would be too long. I mean that's a grand total of 40 badges plus the option of taking the Battle Frontier/Tower/Subway challenges.
I probably would lose interest halfway through and stop playing. Or what about when you've completed and want to try a different route? You would have to do it all all over again D: It would definitely get monotonous unless they include some way to add a twist to the story. For example, you might have to help Team Rocket/Magma/Aqua/Galatic/Plasma to take down another team whose goals hinder theirs somehow. Something like that |

Battle Frontier/Tower/Subway..well..I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure something would be created, a NEW Battle Zone to combine them but separated into different categories. I don't know..it's complicated for this lol |

Ive been wondering about different save files you can have 5 different save files, one for each region shouldn't there be 2 versions? 1st installment should be red, gold, ruby, diamond and black 2nd installment should be blue, silver, sapphire, pearl and white or one whole version bunched up together using 3rd installments yellow+, crystal, emerald, platinum, grey? now the problem is trading. if the 3rd installment came out, you already got all the pokemon, so theres no use to trade. also, migration. you already got all pokemon too, no use for trading. maybe we should be able to trade with your other save files. |

I mean I love the idea of it being more like the anime in that aspect but how would it work? Kanto and Johto are connected so you can just walk/surf across but Hoenn and Sinnoh are far away so a ferry? Isshu/Unova is even further away so maybe an airport? And you land in Mistralthon City? Or maybe another ferry and you end up in Castelia? It's a plausible idea..just not very profitable. If they do make it sales on the individual games would go down I imagine. |
Ya...I also want to play pkmn games start begin from Kanto...Then Jotho...3th OrangeIsland...Then
Hoenn...5th Sinnoh and end in Unova...Better rock! |
Good idea! Orange Island would be a PERFECT addition!
|
I like that idea and I think the levels may go like this...
Kanto: Lv 3-55 Johto: Lv 45-65 Hoenn: Lv 50-75 Sinnoh: Lv 60-85 Unova: Lv 70-95 Except that when you start a new region... you'll start fresh but the level starts should be like the lowest level of the 5 regions, except Kanto, whose starters are at Lv 5. |

As for the 'all-the-regions' game, it's a nice idea at first but there's a lot of issues with it. Firstly there's the amount of data you can fit in the game cartridge and as mentioned the level issues (which would likely need a change in game mechanics, maybe to IVs as well, and guess why you couldn't trade between GSC and RS? Potential lack of compatibility is not very fun). Either that or make you start over again in each region, but looking below... Then there's the business viewpoint - why stuff all the regions into one game which may not work out for various reasons (assuming it's possible) and likely lose sales from other games (why buy the game with a new single region when you have the game with five?) when the current strategy of each generation having one new region max, and the most number of regions in a Pokemon game being two (GSC and their remakes in HGSS) being has made millions of sales every generation? If you want to make a game in which one starts over in each region, or has separate save files, it seems silly to do that instead of split them into separate games and make a lot of money, which is how it is done and has worked very well for Game Freak too. |
I actually like this idea. As a big Pokemon fan, I personally wouldn't mind playing through all regions in one game. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova. Even if it is 40 badges, I'd still have fun! Too bad they most likely won't make a game like this. Cause like mentioned above, it would be a long game to beat. You're talking thousands of trainers, 40 gyms, Battle Frontier in all, and the side requests you get in all games. But I wouldn't mind the time it took, though.
|
Cool concept, but there may be a problem with the leveling as you change regions. You might be overpowered when you reach a new region (like winning the Kanto League with level 50s, then heading off to Johto and the wild Pokemon there being at a low level)
|
Why keep trudging back to the same old places instead of doing something new? We get a remake of an old game every few years alongside brand new games, so what's the fun in one game that would take forever to make and serves as nothing except "Everything is the same as before but crudely stuck together"?
|
I don't see something like this happening until the end of the Pokemon series when they make one super-game where you choose your starting region and go around all of them.
|
How many times has this idea come up...?
I didn't particularly like Hoenn, so no. Replace Hoenn with Orre and we might be talking... except with the level cap issue. 100 levels divided by 5 regions would equal 20 levels per region. Even Johto/Unova, which have the lowest level Elite Fours, still top out at 50. I just don't see how you can cram 8 gyms into the span of 20 experience levels. And no, I am not going to play a game where I have to start over with an all new team in each region. And as has been said, it doesn't make sense from a financial/business standpoint. And I'd rather not do anything like Ash. I prefer to be somewhat competent, thank you very much. |
Didn't know the idea of this came up before this thread, Elite Overlord. If it's more than a month ago then I didn't want to risk bringing it back and getting a warning or something..sorry.
|
It would take WAY to long. Also, has anyone brought into consideration how much data this would be for the poor Devs of this game (IF they made it) If anything, they'd make it DLC or something like that

So from what I can speculate, it's about 50/50 of the Pokemon fans who would like this game and dislike. Not bad. I'd like the idea myself, if it was on PC or on Nintendo, but I was just wanting to receive opinions about this. Lots of advantages/disadvantages that's for sure. |
Quote:
That being said, I'll list pros and cons (some are only based on my opinion) Pros -Diversity (BIG factor) -More Game content -Longer gameplay (could be con, depending on your POV) -Less grinding towards level 100 (possibly) Cons -Reduce sales of other games (possibly) -Tricky level curve between regions (possibly) -Space of data available might not accommodate the data needed for this game -Realistic chance of Game Freak making this sort of game is extremely slim. They would have to implement data worth 5 regions @[email protected] (sort of on hand with 3rd reason) -Future regions may feel "left out." I personally think pros outweigh cons, but again, that's my opinion. |
They could do this as more of a final shabam thing, like when the company is about go bankrupt.... Wait, they control almost every child 5-9, so that won't happen any time soon.

Still, its not going to happen. |
I would not want a game in which you traveled all regions. It would get too long, it's hard enough for me to finish them as it.
An mmorpg however, would be a perfect setting for an expansive world. : ) |
Quote:
That, and some of the pros are a bit iffy. What do you mean, for starters, by diversity? And would that overcome any of the cons? For instance, would it attract a significant amount of more people to buying it that otherwise wouldn't buy any of the other games? Longer gameplay is not much of a concern for Pokemon either given the main quest in itself is pretty long and you have the whole competitive battling aspect, and catching them all if on wants. 649 different critters for people to get is always going to offer a long gameplay. That and I question the importance of 'less grinding' given teams can be auto-scaled on level with wifi battles, so that factor is already diminished compared to previous generations. |
