New Poke'Game Idea: Team Rocket Resurrection

    Ok. I've never been in this particular forum (or one like it), so I got really excited! (If I needed to post this somewhere else, I'm sorry!) My room mate and I have been developing an idea for a new pokemon game that veterans of the RBY gen will appreciate - Rocket Resurrection.

    Basically, we wanted to have a game were Team Rocket is back on the scene, and you get to choose to play a Rocket member and move up the ranks and conquer the world, or join/create a rebellion to stop the Rockets. You would start off in a group of 3 (your character would be customizable as far as looks) and depending on what path you choose, you get to persuade another person in your party to join you and the other will become your rival.

    Playing as a Rocket, you would travel the globe, stealing (or catching) poke's and defeating gym leaders. In doing so, you would have a Rocket Officer take charge of the gym. You would eventually go and defeat the Elite Four (or whatever title they would go by) and become the most powerful Rocket in History. Also, being a rocket, you're pokemon can take on a "dark aura" (not like Colosseum!). It would be like the anti-shiny pokemon, making them darker shaded sprites, rather than the "shinnier" ones.

    Playing as a Rebel, you and your partner would travel, defeating Rocket Gym leaders and re-establishing the original gym leaders. You would then have to go and eventually face the lead Rocket.


    Does this sound like a fun idea? Im not sure if it would be in Kanto/Johto or a new region, but you could get all the current pokemon.
    Opinions? Suggestions or complaints?
     
    You realize Team Rocket got back on the scene after R/B/Y/FR/LG? It was in G/S/C/HG/SS, but, at the end of THAT, the leaders of that Team Rocket, (the Executives,) realzied they couldn't bring Giovanni back, & thus officially ended Team Rocket.

    ...You might know this, I'm just saying a Rcoket resurrection game should take place while or after G/S/C/HG/SS.

    Oh, you and your "continuity"...


    Plenty of people have dreamt up a "What if you were a bad guy?" game before, but I don't recall any of them having a "...but you turned good" plot. Interesting.

    And speaking of the plot, while having two separate paths may be fun, it'll be four times the trouble (double double trouble, if you will) trying to fit it all in and getting it to work properly (unless the two paths are nearly identical, in which case why bother with multiple paths in the first place?).

    Somehow I don't imagine going around in a group would be that great an idea.

    But yeah, sounds interesting. Get developing those ideas!
     
    Both reasonable answers.
    And who says the game can't take place in the past DURING the RBY days (just in a different region).
    As far as the "double trouble" thing, I didn't really think about it as far as development. But it is a very good point. What if there were 2 versions, Maybe Rocket Rebellion (Good) and Resurrection (Bad)?
    I only came up with the idea, and have no means of actually developing the game. If anyone has free time on their hands, they're more than welcome to pick it up and carry it where it may (as long as it's no the garbage can! lol). As long as me and m room mate are given some orginator's credit.

    But yeah. Thank you both for the advice! Any others?
     
    Don't double post and there was no need to bump (and you broke the character limit? ohhhhhhhhhhhh).
    The guess would be that people don't really care unless you already have something in development- I guess this because no one replied.

    We see about 10 new ideas a day here, but unless anything is in game, and comes across that it is developed well, you won't gain support for the project (you must get to this stage if you want to gain support).

    Plus, a few people have already thought of this idea and being "bad" - heck I'm one of them. It's nothing new as such.

    So get coding buddy and then when you feel your ready, showcase the game.
    I'm sure people will be happy if it's done right.
     
    I have returned after 2 years of working on paying projects i finally got a few months of free time... this sounds awefully close to an idea of mine from the past that i'd like to continue there is just one problem i need more ideas i'll be posting a topic that goes into farther detail...
