GELIUS, MY MAN, YOU ARE BRIMMING WITH IDEAS. STOP, OR YOU'LL FLOOD THE FORUMS
Anyways, hi. I imagine you aren't gonna do all of these but I'll still try my best to provide some input on each idea. Do note that some of these are just my own opinions, so don't take it too personally.

So I'm not really a huge Sonic fan, so this is gonna be hard for me to really get back behind on. Based on the few games I had played, I honestly think the Sonic universe and its canon are a little too tacky to really incorporate into a functional RP since the games heavily revolve around the concept of speed. I feel like this RP would only attract hardcore fans of the series. Like, it'd be a super niche RP here since this is a Pokemon forum. Not to say it's impossible, just realize not everyone who likes Pokemon also likes Sonic.

I am definitely in the minority here, but I absolutely hate PMD. I hate humanizing Pokemon via generic methods, and that's all the series really does. If you make a RP where you could hypothetically swap out Mons with anything -- robots, elves, ponies, sentient turds -- then it's just a fruitless concept. However, if you focus on deconstructing on Pokemon lore by acknowledging each individual species and encouraging players to utilize their selective traits, I'd feel that would make for a very interesting project.
Also, don't focus on levels and other super gamey mechanics. While RPs can share some conventions with Video Games, it shouldn't completely emulate the game because this is still a completely different medium. Give yourself and the players some liberties. I mean, I personally feel like levels does absolutely nothing besides initially serving as an inhibitor to prevent players from trampling over the enemies in the RP. I feel like this is only really relevant if the entire RP strictly revolved around combat and Dust is a good example. I don't know if you intend for your PMD RP to be more action orientated, but otherwise just focus on missions and figuring out how to lead players through the narrative without them getting immediately lost.

Okay, so I'm not super familiar with the Ranger series. But I remember someone said that these have the potential to basically become endless, i.e, there's no conclusion to the story. Be sure to think of some sort of ending if you're going for this idea. Also, don't give players the option to be traditional trainers -- just focus on the Ranger aspect and have us track down feral Pokemon or something.

So, another Journey RP? Just letting you know that LITERALLY everyone, even people who like them, are mocking these RPs due to how quickly they die. I think it's due to the fact that everybody just sorta emulates the games? It doesn't really provide anything new beyond what we can potentially get out of the main series. I heavily suggest thinking of deconstructions or subversions of familiar tropes to shake up the formula.

Who remembers the classic Rock Flower from Super Mario Land, The Bunny Carrot from SML 2, The Iconic Fire Flower from most of the games, the Tanooki Suit from Super Mario Bros 3, or even the Cape, from Super Mario World? And who remembers iconic bosses? I know i do.
Dude, there was a Rock Flower in the Game Boy Mario games?! WHHHAAT!
Okay, I'll be honest. I have no idea what to even say to this idea. Like, my only suggestion is to... look at Paper Mario for inspiration?? Considering that series ventured deeper into the Mario universe compared to the traditional platformers. I don't think it sounds dumb, just I never imagined Mario RP could even be feasible. Who knows! Maybe some might be interested in this!

I honestly think Crossovers are pretty niche and don't seem that interesting, outside the spectacle of having worlds collide. Just stick to one franchise just so everything doesn't get too out of hand.

So, I'm assuming you're doing like an amalgamation, a combination? Taking key elements from various JRPGs and throwing them into what could be an affectionate parody of the genre? I might be misinterpreting this, but that'd be fun. It'll deconstruct some tropes, make fans realize why they like JRPGs to begin with. It's a relatively simple concept.

Just do Undertale, nobody hates it because the internet won't let you criticize it Also, I realize a pattern here -- are you hoping to make a RP based on every major Nintendo franchise? Lol

Okay. This NEEDS more details. I think this can be a really fascinating RP to try out, depending on the setting. Like, is the RP going to be like Game of Thrones where the politics are completely fictional? Or do we literally get to play as Donald Trump??
LMAO I ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS POLITICAL

Honestly, if you're just gonna do a Metroid RP, just make an original sci-fi horror RP that focuses on exploration of the unknown. The canon for the series has never been super specific nor do I feel like it ever cared, given how the franchise is basically killing itself off now.
besides I'd rather have a Star Fox RP

Is this another Journey? What is Super Eevee Edition??
