Hello everyone, its great to meet you all. I come to you today with a question that has been bothering me for quite some time now, and I am hoping to get the thought of a bunch of other like-minded creators. Like many people here, I wanted to make a Pokemon fangame for quite some time. But as we all know, Nintendo does not take too kindly to those.
It is for this reason that I started putting thought into making a game that was inspired by Pokemon, but not actually a pokemon fan game. Sorta in the same way that Freedom Planet is not a Sonic Fan game, but still draws heavy inspiration from the classic games. Of course with this concept of breaking away from Pokemon's roots, this does also create some sort of freedom. One that does not require myself to follow all of the standard rules of a pokemon game and one that allows me to shake up the formula however much I should please.
It's for this reason I made an account on these forums, in hopes of reaching out to other people with a passion for monster taming games and their creation, in the hopes of asking everyone some questions. What would you guys like to see in a Pokemon-inspired game? Are there things you would wanna add or take out? Do you feel the formula should be changed a lot or only a little? Should it work just like a Pokemon game? Or should the only element of it that resembles the inspiration be that you are battling with monsters?
So again, I simply came here because I want to ask the fans for their thoughts. Thank you, everyone, for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
