this probably goes without saying, but i think crossovers are really a matter of working out how both elements can be best represented. that said, im finding it very difficult to imagine how pokemon can fit in something like a mario or a zelda game because the franchises are just so fundamentally different it's just hard to state. pokemon is about monster catching and raising, how does one best represent something like that while simultaneously keeping the feel of a mario game or the action-y feel of a zelda game? maybe an alternate timeline of hyrule where hyrulians owned pokemon to compete against each other to pass the time? this sounds ridiculous, but...it's the only way i can imagine pokemon having a place with any other nintendo IP. @
[email protected] of course, this isn't counting things like mario kart and maybe mario party where it'd be easy to have a pokemon representative thrown in there, but i digress.
if anything, i can picture pokemon x animal crossing to be more of a reality. the environment of both games seem like they'd compliment each other pretty well.
