5th Gen idea!

Okay i recognize there's no way this would happen. but i think it'd be a cool idea.

Instead of coming up with another 50 something pokemon that are only half-baked...why not revamp a whole generation? What do i mean? Well set the location on a land east or west (wherever Johto isnt) of Kanto. Then, similar to how actual evolution is, make different versions of the whole 1st gen and popular pokemon from other gens!

Depending on the terrain, the pokemon could be slightly adapted to it! Say a pikachu is wild in a rocky terrain area...they could be more strongly built or sturdy to survive a rocky habitat.

Get it?

Thoughts?
 
Ehhh...no.
 
Good concept, but many people would say that's what EV's/IV's are for.

Besides, isn't FR/LG enough of a remake?

Are you referring to a remake? I've heard numerous times that the SPP staff doesn't want Any more threads about remakes I'm afraid. And besides Johto means West in Japanese and Kanto means east in Japanese. There fore my conclusion is that any thing east of the border between the two reigons is Johto and anything west of the two reigons is Kanto. Also when your'e talking about the evolutions, are you talking about an alternative evolution from the primary? Like evee for instance? And for the terrain that's kind of already implemented.
 
It would be a good idea just not the only thing changed it could be added (as in to the 5th gen) like the gender diffrences was added.

Yes. I do aggree with the idea of revamping a whole generation. But one question. Why? It would take game freak a whole while longer, if nothing is actually considered "new". Why don't they go on with a so-called-tradition?

And, the idea that each pokemon could be "adapted to suit a different environment" is... well as I would say "crappy and uneeded". We already have many fans and pkm lovers leveling up, checking EVs, finding the right pokemon, getting shinies, et cetera. Game freak is finding how to create "the very perfect game", and that would go good. But it's unoriginal. Out of place. Weird.
 
ok i'll try to be more clear:

The Pokemon are still the same species, but they just have different appearance and maybe some different moves, or maybe even a different type.

For example like when the continents split, the animals had to change to survive. gaining attributes taht suited the enviornment.

so...maybe if say a pidgey was found in an area where it needed to be bigger and faster, we could get a larger/cooler/stronger pidgey.

get it? cause i dont think everyone here did.

So you're suggesting that they triple, if not quadruple, the number of sprites (and therefore the amount of data) for something as trivial and pointless as regional divergence?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess "probably not."
 
technically they wouldnt do anything more than double. because if they save time not having to come up with new ideas from scratch that'll dissapoint everyone and just make different versions of old pokemon i think that it could be an interesting change to the games that incorperates actual evoltionary theories. Also i said that they would NOT use ALL of the old pokemon to "revamp"
 
You think the new generations are "half baked" compared to your idea of rehashes/variants on existing Pokemon? That's pretty much the DEFINITION of half-baked.

However, I think some variants on existing Pokemon would be a neat idea, like a thorny poisonous Tangela or an ice-type charmander.
