I'm planning to make a short Pokemon game. Nothing too fancy; I just wanted to make one decent game and actually get it done. I can't go with the usual fakemons or even the usual 8-gym-badges quest. That will take too much time and energy anyway. So I want to know if this plot works:
"In the midst of Pokemon smuggling operation, a trapped eyewitness must fight her way out of the seemingly endless syndicate territory."
(tfw can't post images yet) One of the location is a hidden harbor used by smugglers to transport exotic pokemon. It's crowded with poachers. Always hide behind objects and use their blind spots; any eye contact will result in a battle for your life (instant game-over if you lose an ambush).
So yeah, I want to play with some of the Pokemon conventions. Tell me what you think of these:
- Instead of choosing starter in a lab, the MC's situation is different. You have one Pokeball and three caged "starters".
- You are not in a safe place. You can get caught. You can die when trying to survive by eating the wrong berry. With limited resources (no PC or Mart), the game adopts survival/strategy genre.
- You can caught other Pokemon, too. Just make sure every ball counts.
- "You get $100 for winning!" phrase now makes more sense. After all, you knocked them unconscious and steal their wallet (and belongings).
- Once the plot is resolved, the game is finished.
