    I didn't see a better place to put this, so here it is. This is just a list of cool features that can be used to make a fangame special. Nothing more, nothing less. I offer these ideas to the community as my personal gift. Use what you like, leave off what you don't. Enjoy!


    1: Special pokemon powers. Baisicly, the idea is that while most pokemon have one or two powers they can have, which may be possessed by other kinds of pokemon as well (like "Inner Focus"), each pokemon or evolution chain can be given a unique ability as well. This ability will only appear in pokemon of that kind, and have a low appearance rate, however, it would be very common in shining types.

    Eaxamples;

    Superconductor (Pikachu): Overcomes immunity to Electric moves.

    Wonder Fin (Magicarp): Performs random Water moves using Splash.

    Vampire (Zubat): Absorbs a little health with physical hits.
    Of course some pokemon, like Shedinja, already have a unique power and do not need another one. Others, like legendaries, cannot be found in the wild, so their powers are already predetermined.

    2: Special hold items for legendaries that change their appearance. These items would not merely be cosmetic, of course, but would have special benefits for the pokemon they are intended for, as well as giving it a new look.

    Eaxamples;

    Cyber Armor (Mewtwo): Greatly boosts critical hits, but lowers Sp.Atk. (Gives Mewtwo his armored appearance from "Pokemon: The First Movie".)

    Meteor Stone (Deoxys): Changes Deoxys' type to that of the last attack to hit it. (Deoxys looks the same, but each time it is hit by an attack, its color changes to match with the new type.)

    Colossus Chains (Any "Regi"):
    Reduces speed but prevents critical hits. (The pokemon will appear to be wearing shackles and chains. Think "Exodia".)
    3. Let the player join the bad guys. Yes, I know, pokemon is supposed to be about kindness and friendship. It's still fun to be bad. It doesn't even need to be "joining" just a few options to be a bad-type character. Using cut-rate items, forcing pokemon to perform at the cost of their love, extra-effective hold items the pokemon "don't like"...the possibilities are endless.

    My ideas, however, are done for now. I hope you enjoyed them. More to come in the future, so stay tuned!
