Title says all :P

do you think you're going to just get your starter handed to you by the prof. or maybe go to the wild grass, encounter a wild poke, panic, see a bag, and use the starter to defend yourself? or maybe something new...



what are your ideas?? :)

Well according to this post, the protagonists are going to be older than they were in previous games which, to me, suggests that they're not going to go with the whole 10th-birthday-first-pokemon business like they did in the anime. And they've also used the attacked-by-a-wild-pokémon plot in the last two games (not counting the remakes) so I doubt they'll take that route either. Perhaps you'll rescue a helpless pokémon stuck in a burning building? Though that raises the question: what will happen to the ones that you don't choose? D:

Considering you don't save Pokabu, bacon.

Seriously though, I hope we get something interesting like that. I just don't want to grab the Pokemon out of the professor's suitcase again.

I hope that we find it in our first encounter with the evil team. There could be a grunt or something that stole it, or was harassing it as it was wild, and you rescue it.
I like this and the burning building idea. However, the latter only really works if your two rivals happen to be with you at the time so that all three are successfully saved. :D

I like this idea as well. Knowing Nintendo, they will find a way to make them safe. Like, maybe you actually help out all three of them, and then you get to pick which one you want. Or, after you pick one and escape from the building, the other two just end up running out of the building and into the woods or something.

Personally, since I think the region is based on America, and the city that we have seen seems to be New York, I think also that the evil teams will be Gang based, and you will have to save someone from a gang, using the starters.

Well, my theory is because we're older, we'll have attended pokemon school. Here you battle with a loaner pokemon in some sort of graduation ceremony, and the professor judges and gives you the pokemon.
However, I like the burning building idea more.

1. Cry for help.
2. You go investigate.
3. Person from Team Whatever is holding Professor Whatever hostage.
4. He tells you to go get a Pokemon from bag.
5. You pick one.
6. Asses are kicked.
7. You go to his lab in the next town.
8. He says you have potential.
9. Gives you PokeDex.
10. Introduces you to rival.
11. Merry adventure begins.

Something like that.

This isn't bad either... By pokemon school, you're talking about one of those preppy schools that are often encountered in the anime? It would seem fitting for a professor to be an academic professor as opposed to an independent researcher, and graduates from such prep schools to be gifted with a unique pokemon as well. :P

The professor sneaks in your house, throws the pokeball in your face then runs down the stairs, sucker punches your mom and goes back into the lab and pretends that never happened.



...Only in a perfect RPG.
...unlikely, but effing LOL

I really like this kind of idea; another one I had was that we already have it when we start the game (meaning we get to choose it while we choose the character we'll be playing as, pick our names, etc.) and progress as though we got it a few days ago and were given it to see how well we get along with it or something of the sort. Personally, I like your idea more as it's much more developed from anything I thought of.

I've got it!
How about the three Pokemon are in an experimental lab, where evil scientists nearly kill them in experiemnts. Then, the Pokabu starts to flame the whole building with his Blaze ability. Seeing the fire, you rush inside and see the near-dead Pokemon on a scorched table. You grab all three and rush outside. (The scientists all escape.) Then the Prof. of that region comes with help and sees you with the two Pokemon. You heal them to perfect health, yada, then he notices all three seem to have taken a liking to you. You pick one and you know the rest.

Yes, the school would be quite a bit larger than those in the previous two generations. There could be three classrooms, the arena, and the lab. The school could actually double as the lab. And instead of a loaner pokemon, this could be when you choose your starter. I think the school thing could work really well, because it could serve as a tutorial before you actually get out into the pokemon world at all. That would leave more conversations with witty dialogue in stead of facts about the game. Also, you could receive your pokedex, 5 pokeballs and starter all at the same time, and you could learn how to battle, catch pokemon and all that jazz in the school before even setting out on your journey.

Maybe you will just be a regular Guy/Girl that never knew a thing about Pokemon, but one day your were walking through town and saw a wild Pokemon attacking one of the Starters, you decide to try and help one of the starters by throwing rocks at the Pokemon to get it away. Then you realize that this is what you want to do, raise Pokemon.

I like the idea of something about the Pokemon running somewhere and you going to find it.

What I would be hoping for is something like what happened in R/S/E when you helped Wally catch a Pokemon. Maybe your Parent was a Pokemon Trainer and lend you a Pokemon to go to the first major city where the professor is. He asks you to embark on a journey yada yada gives you a Pokedex and then you have to go home to return the Pokemon to your parent, tell them about the adventure yada yada and go on the journey.

Why not when they ask your name and gender they also ask which pokemon is you'rs that way they dont have to explain why you haven't received one at a younger age. The reason they could give for it being at level five is because you never leave your little town until you have to meet the professor or another task that requires you to leave.
