HERE IS MY GAME IDEA, PLEASE POST A REPLY IF YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING SHOULD BE CHANGED OR ADDED, I WANT IT TO BE PERFECT. STOP AND THINK OF WHAT YOU WOULD WANT IN A POKEMON GAME. PARTS 1-23
1- Trainer Card Battle Lv
The Trainer card is your ID card. It also holds all of your data and Achievements within the game. Your Battle Level would also be stored here to. The Battle Level would vary from 1-1000. When you go to Vs gym Leaders a set Lv for their Pokemon would be given depending on your battle Lv. Your Battle Lv cannot go down; this prevents players from trying to beat gym leaders with low Lv Pokemon. This would be useful as all four regions would be apart of this game. Having players getting level 100 Pokemon and going through the other regions quickly beating their gym challenge in under an hour is less enjoyable because the gym leaders from past games have set Pokemon Levels, Brock is between 10-13, what if Kanto was the last region to visit? Brock would be beaten swiftly.
Each region should have a maximum of 200 Battle Levels, all five regions (including a region for the battle park) would equal to 1000 and by beating each gym leader and Elite four member, your battle Lv should go up a certain amount, but by vs. a gym leader or elite four member for the second time, your battle Level should not increase.
2- New Level System
With all four regions a part of this game, reaching Level 100 becomes too easy, defeating all the gyms, etc. Along with the Battle Lv Idea, the highest level you could reach is 1000. Instead of Bulbasaur evolving at Level 16 it would evolve at level 160, then Ivysaur would evolve at level 360.
Once players reach Lv 100, they continue using that/those Pokemon to win battles quick and easy, once they reach level 1000, it might be the same, but it should take a longer time to occur because the game would be huge. This would make levels 1-200 easier to achieve then 201-400 a bit harder followed by 401-600 difficult and so forth.
3- Questing System
Following the same story line to past Pokemon games does get a bit boring after a while, by changing the standard quest of battling gyms and fighting evil teams like team rocket to doing quests for characters on the game could make the game more enjoyable. Below is an example table of some quests that could be made,
From Region Rewards Description
Kurt Johto ?200 + 50 exp to members of party Visit Kurt at the Seal House in Johto to learn how to use seals
SS Anne Captain Kanto Stay Alive!!! Survive the Gyarados attack in the ocean and make it to safety.
Prof. Oak Kanto Pokedex + ?50 Get Oaks parcel order from viridian city and take it to Oak
Notice on Jubilfe City Gym door Sinnoh Gym Badge Take out the Jubilfe Gym Leader
Ruin Explorer Johto Pokedex upgrade/ unknown identifier Explore the ruins of Alpha and help the research team discover new artifacts from Pokemon past
Having a quest log in a newly created key item known as the Navigator Pad helps players to locate quests that have been received whilst playing and shows players what they can do next. Quests could be given to players that speak with non-playing characters with a picture of a pokeball over their head.
The higher the players battle level is should determine on what quests are available to the player at the time, the higher the battle level the more quests that can be accepted.
4- Options
The options menu should be dealt with before starting a new game. Options that should be on the menu should include sound altering, the language you speak (So that the player can be put on a server where everyone speaks their language). On the options screen you should have the option called ignore, if someone bugs you too much, type their name in the ignore option list and they will not be able to talk with you/communicate whatsoever until removed from the list.
5- Field
On the field you run into multiple people that slow you down, and because the game is based around everyone using it at once, people may purposely stand in the way of paths and doorways, if the players could walk through each other this would prevent any blocking problem from occurring.
You could also be able to team up with one other person on the field, to do quests, double battles, etc. This would be helpful to most players using the game.
While you are on the field you are able to ask other players to battle you, if someone says yes they should begin battle like any normal one, but while they battle, others should be able to see the battle to, whilst the battle is taking place the Pokemon that each party has out in battle should be on field standing in front of the owners player, and once a Pokemon has been defeated it should disappear (on the field) and the next Pokemon brought out in battle should appear in its place.
A rising want in the game is for a players party Pokemon to trail along behind them, you should be given the option in the “start” menu under Party to let one Pokemon out to walk with you, the Pokemon should follow behind the player and look like a proper figure like on mystery dungeon.
6- Friend List
As you are put onto a server with people that only speak your language, all the people you meet and converse with the game should ask if you want to record them onto your mobile friend list. If you choose yes, they will be stored onto that list so that you can text them again later on if you feel like it. This option is helpful if you are in a group. When sending someone a message, you should be allowed to write what you like for as long as you like without having a set amount of words that you can use and a list of words you can use. If someone was to use a word that is not acceptable, the game should re-word the inappropriate word(s) so that when and if they are used it comes up as “blah,” this keeps the game fun for younger players.
You should also be able to send messages to multiple people at once and should be given the choice to send a message to the group you are in and/or your entire contacts list. You should also be able to choose who gets a message you want to send by going through your contact list and choosing the people you want to send the message to.
7- The Pokedex System
Because the game is based around all four regions, when a player finishes a region they should move on to the next region and be given that regions Pokedex and not the national Pokedex. They should only receive the national Pokedex either on the fourth region where you gain the final pieces to the Pokedex or when you make it to the fifth region, the Battle Park (or whatever it would be called).
Here is the order the regions should cycle through,
If you start at,
Starting Region Next Region Third Region Fourth Region Battle Park
Kanto Johto Hoenn Sinnoh Battle Park
Johto Hoenn Sinnoh Kanto Battle Park
Hoenn Sinnoh Kanto Johto Battle Park
Sinnoh Kanto Johto Hoenn Battle Park
8- The questionnaire
When you begin a new game a questionnaire filled with multiple questions should appear. When the player has finished answering the questionnaire the game should then tally their results to determine which region they will start off at and which of that regions starting Pokemon the player will begin the game with. The results for which starting Pokemon should be determined by type, e.g. grass would be Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treeko or Turtwig. If the player does not like their results, they should be given the option to either
a) Do the questionnaire again
b) Choose a different starter (Determining type, thus changing their starting region)
c) Start the game
This shows players where their best beginning region would be and which Pokemon they would best start off with.
9- Determining your character
After the Questionnaire is over the screen should show the male and female gender signs. The player should then click on either of the signs to determine their gender. Once the players gender has been chosen, a list of clothes and the colours on the bottom touch screen pad should appear and on the top screen should be the player’s character wearing the default clothes. The player should then use the stylus pen to move through the LIMITED list of Hair, Eyes, Hats, Shirts, Shorts, Dresses, Skirts, Socks, Shoes, Wristbands, Gloves, Face style, Robes, Hooded Robes, Jumpsuits, Capes, Jeans, etc. Once the player has decided what their character looks like, the standard welcome from the lab professor should appear on the screen (depending on which region the questionnaire has you starting at)
10- The Regions Professor
After the introduction the player should find them self in the regions professors’ lab where he gives the player their starting Pokemon and a few extras that will help with the players travels.
Those extras are,
- Navigator Pad (explained later on in part 17)
- The regions Pokedex (after doing the first small quest for the professor)
- Dresser Box (stores all the players clothes)
- A Bag
And
- A Quest Log appt. (also explained in part 17)
11- The New and Old Facilities and What They Offer (VERY IMPORTANT)
Department Store- every city/town
1 Floor- General Products (pokeballs, antidotes, etc)
2 Floor- Technical Machine Store (Tm)
3 Floor- Drug Store (Proteins, Irons, etc)
4 Floor- Clothes Store/Hairdresser (the floor that changes your characters look you can also purchase more clothes, etc.)
5 Floor- Furniture Store (buy furniture for your house, different furniture per store, per region)
a) Tables- Different tables each with different colours, wooden tables, glass tables, etc.
b) Chairs- Sofas, Chairs, Double sofas, wooden chairs, pillows, etc.
c) Electronics- Buy different TVs, lcds, plasmas, Wii’s and Radios (for houses, not the key item)
d) Pokemon dolls- All Pokemon as dolls, only able to buy ones you have seen on the Pokedex.
e) Wallpapers/Paints- Buy different colours and styles for in and out of your house.
f) Beds- Buy different Size beds and styles as well as colours, spotted, stripped, etc.
g) Kitchen Furniture- Sinks, Refrigerators, Double Fridges, etc.
h) Plants- Potted plants, lavish flowers, pretty flowers, etc.
i) Posters- Pokemon Posters, Self drawn posters on touch screen, group symbol posters, screenshots taken using the key item, Camera
j) Carpets/rugs/tiles- Different styles of carpets rugs and tiles with different colours.
k) Bar counters- Counters that come in different colours.
6 Floor- Rooftop square (vending machines, Markets, etc)
The markets should sell unique wares that aren’t found or sold anywhere else, furniture, etc.
Post Office- Every City/Town
The post office should be in every city and town, in it, you should be able to send other player’s items, money, messages, etc. This facility is helpful for sending mail to another player’s house and for receiving mystery gifts from Wii Pokemon games, wifi connection and Nintendo events.
Radio Towers- One in every Region
Radio towers should be stationed in every region, players could set up their own shows to help out other characters in need of help with missions, etc. Background music could be selected from a list of songs that the game has in store for the players show and they can write what they want to say to the viewers/listeners (Just like the Johto version).
Then other players could turn on their Radio (key item attached to the Navigator Pad) and listen to their show. If there was an option beside the radio show that said “call in,” the person running the show can answer the phones to listen to other players problems with the game and give them feedback to help them pass that mission.
Players could name their show so that other players can see what the show is about. There should be a maximum of five shows per region and people can vote for the show by giving it a thumbs up or thumbs down, once a show gets too many thumbs down (after adding the thumbs up to the total score) the show should be taken off air immediately.
Newspaper HQ- One in every Region
With 5 different newspapers (one for each region, including the Battle zone, etc) players from the game can write stories related to the game and/or to help advertise their own Battling events, to help advertise their group, to give other players help with quests given from that region by writing columns, etc.
The newspaper could have a one day newspaper that covers the entire world instead of just one region (maybe on Sunday leaving Saturday free), this newspaper could either be run by the higher level characters or by the Nintendo staff, the newspaper topics could be about when new Nintendo events are happening around the world, whose group is at the top of the ladder where recruiting is concerned showing the past weeks members against the amount gained or lost that week and perhaps what in-game battling events are taking place, like the Masters Pokemon contests and who won them and maybe the best character owned battling event held (A character who held an event that made a huge impact, big crowd turn up, etc.), it could show the winner of the lotto with all ID numbers and the players who defeated the elite four of that region (on the Sunday mail, could say all regions players who defeated the league the previous day, Saturday)
The newspaper could be either bought from a general products merchant or if you speak with a newspaper merchant and pay a large sum of money to get the paper sent to your house for a certain amount of time, then the paper should be sent to your home, this option is useful for those characters who are further in the game and visit their house frequently.
Seal House- One per Region
This place should be where players go to put seals on their pokeballs; people like Kurt from Johto region should be involved with this idea (making more missions). Instead of making seals from their pc, you should make them in a facility like this. It could be easier to not have the Seal Case, if trainers want to have pokeballs with Seals on them they should come and create effects to their Pokemon’s pokeball to give it the edge in entering a battle. Instead of having seals that go on and around the pokeball, make it so that they attach to the pokeballs button at the front of the ball, around the circle area. Seals should also have limits; you should only be able to buy some seals that are of equal or lower then your Battle Level. Players should be given some options to change how each of their Pokemon entered like these,
• Background colour (should the screen dim down making it black so you can only see the entering Pokemon and its seals being shown, or giving different background colours)
• Element effects (Having a huge thunderbolt hurl on the ground where the pokeball has been thrown, elemental effects should give an advantage to the Pokemon that has the seal attached to their pokeball, for e.g. a Lapras had a water seal that made a huge water ball around Lapras when being thrown into battle, Lapras could use its ability Water Absorb to restore some of its health equal to the battle level requirements of the seal if it had been injured in a battle beforehand, etc.
This could also be a disadvantage for the Pokemon with an elemental seal, if a Bulbasaur came out with a fire seal attached to its ball, then Bulbasaur should receive fire damage equal to the elemental seals level and possibly cause a burn. This could also affect other types that come out with a seal that is of a stronger type then itself, e.g. grass seal beats Geodude and could cause bind, constrict, etc.
• And Cry, a Pokemon has a cry that it yells when coming out of a pokeball, the player could edit it’s chorus, pan, reverb and filter like on Sinnoh’s Pokedex
These options would give each Pokemon the fighting edge in a battle either helping or destroying it. Seals should be able to stay on the Pokeball unless removed via the seal house and should remain on when put into a pc or traded. If a Pokemon is traded and the seal attached to it is of too high a level the seal should either not work or work if there is an elemental effect that harms that Pokemon making it difficult to use the Pokemon.
Global Trading Station- One per Region
The Global Trading Station in Diamond and Pearl is frustrating to use, when a player wants to trade more then one Pokemon they can’t. If they went to the global trading station, it should be made so that more then one Pokemon can be put in the GTS at a time. When searching for a Pokemon they are after there should be a vertical list with that Pokemon on it that was searched for instead of using the stylus pen to tap on a character to see which Pokemon they are asking for in trade in return for the Pokemon you are after. The vertical list should have a pocket-sized picture of the actual Pokemon to reveal its difference in gender and colour on the left as the player scrolls down the list.
It should also stay so that you can only search for Pokemon that you have owned or seen in the wild. Instead of having to enter a room with a computer, there should be computers around the walls of the GTS where players can stand and do trades quickly. The game should save after each deposit and each withdrawal to prevent “accidental cloning,” etc.
Pokemon Centers- Every City, some near caves, etc
The Pokemon center in the more recent games, Diamond and Pearl, consist of three floors. The top floor was used for the coliseum and union room, the bottom floor was used for the Wi-Fi club and the ground floor was always for healing Pokemon.
The bottom floor below the Ground floor could be used for having multiple Pc’s around the room so that many players could withdraw and deposit Pokemon at the same time in any of the Pokemon Centers around the world. The top floor could then be used as a battle floor for setting up your own player events. Have many people battle at the same contest until only one person is left standing. The top floor should be set up like the gym leader of the town’s type, e.g. Blaine of Cinnabar Island uses the fire type, and the top floor will look red and fiery. For the Pokemon Centers outside of towns, the top floor will look like its surroundings.
Contest Halls- One in every region plus one on a segregated island for world rank
These halls are found in Hearthome and Liliycove cities. Two new halls should be put in Mahogany Town and Vermillion city that way there are halls in every region. Each hall has 5 floors except for the one on the segregated island,
1 Floor- The entrance hall (where you sign up for a contest or go watch a contest)
2 Floor- Normal Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Normal Rank)
3 Floor- Great Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Great Rank)
4 Floor- Ultra Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Ultra Rank)
5 Floor- Master Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Master Rank)
For each day of the week there should be a different Contest on each of the floors
Monday- Cool Contest
Tuesday- Beauty Contest
Wednesday- Cute Contest
Thursday- Smart Contest
Friday- Tough Contest
Saturday- Worlds Contest for a different rank each weekend
Sunday- Worlds Contest for a different rank each weekend Round 2
The Segregated Island that has the Worlds Contest Hall on it should have a small contest hall as the entrance that has a backdoor revealing a long path heading up to a massive coliseum.
Because you can go and watch contests you should be able to see all the moves used by the contestants. There should also be linking moves that can be used only in contests to make the Pokemon’s moves more effective in front of the judges with a maximum of two linking moves and the player should not be able to link smart moves and beauty moves, etc, together.
The audience should also have a say as to who did a better job in the contest, depending on how many watch the event, e.g. 5 people are in the audience, therefore 20% is how much their vote would be worth.
There should be only two rounds in a contest, the first being a move contest and the second being a battle between the two best in the round. In the second round battle, the contesting Pokemon should have extra health so that they can have enough time to show off their moves to the audience. Also, because the contest moves have star ratings, damage should be dealt by their ratings and not how much the move would do normally, the audience would then vote on which player they think deserves to win once the battle is done.
Game Corner- One in every Region
The Game corner should be made into a casino where there would be a couple of floors for roulette, blackjack and the slot machines, etc. There should also be the option to trade as much money as you want on the casinos play money instead of the set ?100= 50 tokens and ?10000= 1000 tokens. Players want to give up more coins at a time to get tokens instead of continually talking to the person behind the counter asking for more coins.
A new city should be created, once again on a segregated island for those that are complete gamblers. New casino games and betting tables in massive flashing light buildings should be made. This city would be used for events throughout the week where there are massive bets and money won or lost. There could be poker games that lead to players around the globe betting it out for the highest cash prizes, poker invitational games and receiving a ranking on the poker player ranking list.
12- HM Moves
There are so many HM moves that are always in need in the battlefield, there is barely any space for standard moves that do a lot more damage. There could be a HM move list as well as a Pokemon’s standard 4-move set and there would be 4 standard moves and 4 outside of battle HM moves (which could only be used when in need not in battle). These HM’s would be needed in the game, (randomly numbered)
HM 1- Cut
HM 2- Fly
HM 3- Surf
HM 4- Strength
HM 5- Flash
HM 6- Defog
HM 7- Waterfall
HM 8- Rock Smash
HM 9- Rock Climb
HM 10- Whirlpool
HM 11- Dive
In the options menu the player should be given the choice to ‘instant HM’. This option would enable players to instantly walk up to water and when pushing the direction pad towards the water, the player would immediately surf instead of being asked if they would like to use surf. Walk up to a wall of rocks and, again, scale the wall without interruption. This would not be in effect for the HMs, fly, dive, defog and flash.
13- HM Fly
Fly has been a move to transfer characters in between towns and cities before, fly should now be used for something better, when a player uses HM Fly, they should be lifted up in the air and be able to fly around on the Pokemon that used fly not a figure of a bird, like HM Dive but in the air (this should apply for surf and dive, players want to see what they are riding on). This would be good for finding bird Pokemon in the sky. While using fly you should be able to look down and see any routes, towns, and cities below you and when you reach a city you should be able to dismount in the city area.
With fly being a longer way of travelling to and from other places, people might be annoyed with not being able to get somewhere fast, teleport, dig and extremespeed (examples) should now be used as instant flying to and from locations.
Whilst being in the air and being able to see the routes below the character, clouds should cover certain spots in the sky and should be filled with bird Pokemon. Players will enjoy hunting flying Pokemon of the sky in their natural environment.
14- Pc Boxes
The Pc boxes have had a set standard of box 1, box 2, and so on. Even though players can change them to suit their own style, there should be an option to change the boxes order into Pokemon types, e.g. Grass, all Pokemon with Grass as their first or only type would be put into that box, Dark, all Pokemon with Dark as their first or only type would be put in that box, etc. These boxes should also have different backgrounds to suit the Pokemon’s type. If players were to choose this option, the set up should be made and all Pokemon caught out in the wild should be automatically put into their first or only type box (if the players party is full), this saves a lot of time running back and fourth to the PC’s.
15- Interaction with other players while in the game
Because this game is entirely Wi-Fi based, you can see other characters running around the cities, caves, grass fields, etc. Whenever players stop and talk to someone they should be given the following options,
Talk (write a message to the person which will be sent to their phone [key item])
Trade (Trade Pokemon on the spot, as long as it saves before and afterwards)
Give (Give items/money to that person, not key items)
Add (Adds that person to your phone friend list, after conversing with them, the game should ask the player again just in case they forgot to add them earlier)
Group Add (If the player is a group leader or a Officer, they can add new members, the selected player is given the choice to join)
Party Add (Invites the player to join as partners to finish quests, etc)
House Evict (Kick someone out of your house, only usable in a house that you own)
16- Pal Park
Because of the new levelling system, Pal Park would not be in the game because the old levelling system is in use and Pokemon would evolve at lower levels then what they would with the new levelling system of this game.
17- Navigator Pad
The navigator pad would be the bottom touch screens function that would be used in the field (mainly). Every time a player logs onto the game the following options should be on the Navigator Pad and once clicked on, that feature of the Navigator Pad should be displayed. The following uses of the Navigator Pad are as follows,
Navigator
• See the world rotate before the player on the bottom touch screen and use the stylus to click on a region. The screen would zoom in on the region showing the cities, then use the stylus to click on a city of that region and the screen will zoom in again showing the map off the city. If the player clicks on him or herself, it should zoom in on them and as they travel the map will show where they are heading.
• The world should be shaded black except for the region you start off in. When zoomed in on a region, the paths that normally link up to cities should not be shown until the player has travelled along them. This stops players from finding hidden areas too soon, i.e. Crescent Moon Island, etc.
Players
• Shows all the players in the same route, city/town or cave, etc. as you. If a player was to click on that persons name it should show their ID card, telling the player their standard information like which group they are in, and how many badges they have, etc.
Real Estate Searcher
• When a player clicks on this heading they should be given subheadings to choose from,
- Size (choose the size of house you are after)
- City (only ones you have been to)
- Search (search for the desired houses)
• The Real Estate Searcher will find similar houses to that description in that area and give you the list of places available. If the player likes some of them, just tap on a house that looks decent and it will show them screenshots (taken by the old owner) of the interior and exterior, Helpful when buying a house. If they still like what they see, just click on the buy button and the house will be signed over to them (with all the furniture taken out of course, everything but the paint and floorboards/carpet)
• (This function is explained more in part 18)
Region Badges
• Due to the big amount of badges in this game, you can’t fit them all on your ID card, so they should be listed here.
“Group,” (your group or joined groups name)
• The group function allows you to see what group you are in or leading and what ranks all of your /fellow members are in. If you are the leader of a group, you can see where your members are and what they are doing, if they are battling, walking, running, etc. If that member of your group is not where they should be and isn’t obeying your orders, you can kick him/her from the group.
The subheadings for a group MEMBER,
- “Characters Name” (shows your details and involvement within the group, your notes, etc)
- Group members (shows the list of people in this group, also showing their rank)
- Leave Group (click on this to leave the group, the game should ask if you want to leave again, just in casse it was accidental)
The subheadings for a LEADER are,
- “Group Details” (Shows the group info, how many members, location of HQ, etc.)
- Notes Section (Leave up to 3 notes per member that only they can read, most of the time these notes are missions given out by the Leader)
- Group Members (Shows the list of members in the group, the leader can click on a group members name and will be given options to, 1. Promote 2. Demote 3. Kick Out.
- Rename Group (Change the name of your group)
- Disband Group (Split the group up)
• (More on this subject explained below)
Quest Log
• The section of the navigator pad that holds all quests given and completed. By tapping the Quest Log Heading, a vertical list of quests obtained will appear that once tapped will give a progress report as to how far the player has gone with that specific quest. In the report of a quest a button in the bottom right hand corner will show a picture of a map where the player can see where exactly they must go in order to finish or pass a certain section of the quest.
Radio
• Pressing the A button on this part of the Navigator Pad will take the bottom touch screen pad to a new screen that shows a stereo tuner, using the stylus pen left to right tunes the radio to what show the player seems interested in, once they tap the ok button on the bottom corner of the touch screen, the radio show will start from where the player started listening and new writing will appear when the shows host types more. They will be able to scroll up and down using the arrow buttons on the left hand side of the screen; useful if the player missed something interesting or important. To call in, tap the button in between the arrow scrolling buttons and then if the host of the show agrees to take the call, a typing field will appear and the player must then type their message in and click ok/send and all other listeners will be able to see what they have typed/sent in.
18- Real Estate
On the bottom touch screen pad is the Navigator Pad and one of its functions is “Real Estate Searcher.”
When a player touches that heading, a new screen would appear showing two subheadings,
- My Estates (My owned homes)
- Buy new real estate
If the player chooses to buy new real estate they will be shown these three subheadings,
- Size (the size of the house they are after, look below)
- City (the city you want to buy a house in, only ones you have been to)
- Search (Search for the described list of houses)
Apartment ?$100,000
One Story ?$100,000
Two Story ?$200,000
Three Story ?$300,000
Mansion ?$400,000
Penthouse ?$500,000
Group Building ?$300,000
When the search is over the player will be given a list of houses that are up for sale. If they use the stylus pen to tap one of those houses it will give details as to what the house is like, and will show screenshots of the house (taken by the original owner). If they like the house they just have to tap the button at the bottom right hand side that says BUY. When tapped, the game will ask if the player wants to buy this house for ($$$$)? Then they need to tap YES or NO.
Once a player buys a house, all the furniture that they saw in the screenshot will be removed and taken with the old owner. They will only own one piece of furniture and that’s their very own PC. Players must buy their own furniture from any of the Department stores in any city; each cities department store has different furniture. When they want to put furniture down in their house, they must go to their house and use their PC (just like the underground in Sinnoh), there should be no limit as to how much furniture can be put down, as long as the players character can walk in front of the PC and have access to the front door. Nobody else should have access to the owner of the houses PC; no one can take or move furniture from a player’s house. The PC also has another feature, “The Doorbell,” while inside a players owned house they can choose to lock the door so that people have to ring the doorbell, when they do the game will ask if you want to let them in or not, either click YES or NO.
Every house has a mailbox and when a player interacts with it, these options will appear,
- Check Mail (mail sent from the post office, from characters, newspaper, gifts, mystery gifts)
- Decorate Exterior (Paint the outside walls, roof, etc.)
- Name your house (default name is “(characters name)’s house”
- Move Out (Leave this house)
If a player wants to sell one or more of their houses, they must move to that/those houses mailbox and choose the move out option,
The game will ask if the player is sure, if they choose yes, the game will ask them to take some screenshots of their house using the key item Camera for the Real Estate Searcher. Once they have taken 4 photos and chosen the main image for display, bigger than the other three the game will save and add their house to the Real Estate Searcher so that people can look at it and hopefully buy it. The game will give it a set price and once sold all the old owners furniture will be put in the PC for their new home. If they don’t want to wait for a buyer, the game should give them the choice to sell their house to the Real Estate Company (The Real Estate Searcher) but for half the advertised price, the house will stay on the Searcher for sale, just not owned by the player.
In each of the cities is a massive hotel like building; this building is where all the apartments are,
1 Floor- Entrance floor, elevators, stairs and admin desk are located on this floor
2 Floor-10 Floor- Guest rooms, hotel rooms up for use every day (three rooms per floor)
11 Floor-14 Floor- Apartments (three apartments per floor)
15 Floor- Penthouse spaning the whole floor with its own upper level floor (one per building, per city)
If a player speaks with the admin on the first floor they can choose to stay in a room for a certain price. This comes in helpful when travelling and waiting for city events to occur, i.e. Pokemon Contests.
The penthouse is two floors, the player enters on the bottom floor and on that floor are stairs leading to the top floor (the pc would allow you to change the style of the stairs from standard sloping stairs to rotating ones, etc) where the top floor is overlooking the bottom one. The bottom floor allows the player to walk out onto a veranda where they can see the entire city. Penthouses are good for parties and if no one is living in a penthouse, players can rent it out for a fee (or buy it from the Real Estate Searcher); just speak with the hotel admin on the first floor.
19- Organisations
An organisation is a group that is a part of the game, a group that was not made by a character. A character can only join an organisation once they have defeated that teams Leader (In Johto’s case, all of the Admin staff) and once done will be asked to join their team to help them succeed in future plans which then leads to new quests. These organisations and their leaders are,
Organisation Region Leader Extra Info
Team Rocket Kanto Giovanni Could make a quest line to help hide Giovanni after the destruction of team rocket.
Neo (New) Team Rocket Johto No set leader With no Leader ruling Neo Team Rocket, except for the admin’s, a quest line could be made to find a new leader to rule Neo Team Rocket with the most unlikely choices narrowed down to… Butch and Cassidy or Jesse and James. Once that mission is complete either choice should attempt to steal your Pokemon team. You then battle the new leader and soon find yourself on the run from the HQ. Once you leave the HQ you should be removed from the organisation.
Team Magma Hoenn Maxie While the rivalry between Magma and Aqua continues, a quest line could be made to demolish Team Aqua and disband their group forever.
Team Aqua Hoenn Archie While the rivalry between Magma and Aqua continues, a quest line could be made to demolish Team Magma and disband their group forever.
Team Galactic Sinnoh Cyrus With no Dialga or Palkia at their side. Team Galactic soon begins search for The Heavenly Pipe, which they can then use to summon Arceus and destroy the world.
(The Quest lines under the extra info column are just guide lines as to what missions COULD be made to make a player want to play more)
Players can only be in one Group/organisation at a time, if they want to join a different team, they must leave the one they are in now.
When a player joins an organisation they will receive the team’s outfit that they must wear to pledge their allegiance to that team, the outfit will then be put into the key item “Dresser,” where players can go to try on new clothes.
Once a player joins an organisation, they will notice that the Navigator Pad will have a new heading replacing “Group.” This spot will now say “(Organisation’s name).” when they tap this heading with their stylus pen, new sub headings will appear giving them information regarding the organisation.
- “(Organisation)” Info (Tells the player which other players are in this organisation)
- Missions (Tells the player what missions have been given to them while in this organisation)
- Leave Organisation (Leave the Organisation, forfeiting the outfit and access to HQ)
Players can never rank to the Leader of an Organisation; the highest rank for players would be Officer.
The ranks accessible by players are,
Grunt
Executive
Officer
Admin
20- Groups
Groups are different from organisations but have similar systems. When a player finishes their home regions Pokemon League, they will notice that when they check their Navigator Pad next, there will be new options under the “Group” Heading,
- Make Group (Tap on this to move onto the next screen, to start the creation of the group)
When this heading is tapped the game will ask the player if they want to pay 100,000 to start a group, if they choose YES the game will then ask what they want to name their group, type in a name (should give up to 25 characters, for longer names), once that is done, they will be required to choose what clothes put together will make up their group outfit, when they have chosen the clothes and colours they will be required to make a Group Symbol. Players would use the bottom touch screen pad and the stylus pen to draw a symbol in the square area choosing from the list of colours to the left of the square area.
Once they have made their groups symbol, they would then have to choose where the symbol would go on the outfit; options should be given so that they can have it in more then one spot, if wanting to, by either tapping the below options with the stylus pen or by pressing the A button on the choices.
- Chest
- Back
- Left arm
- Right arm
- Front of hat/hood
- Left side of pants
- Right side of pants
- On wristbands
Players should also be able to rotate themselves while making the outfit, so they can see what it would look like from all angles and while they choose where the symbol will go.
Once all of the above is done, their group will finally be made. Groups, like organisations, have HQ buildings where all the Groups members can go to relax and hang out at. The Group Buildings could be bought from the Real Estate Searcher. There should be ONE Group Building per city making it harder to obtain one. When players buy a Group Building, they can’t put furniture into it. The Building already has furniture, they just get to move it around and move them between floors and they could go to the Group Building PC and order new furniture in from Group Furniture Companies, (which would be sent straight to the PC and could only be used for the Group Building). Players should also be able to name each floor and put restrictions down on them, this way group leaders can stop low ranks from going where they aren’t allowed and telling ranks which floors are which, (This could be done via the Group Building PC), the options would be,
- Re Decorate (change the style of the Building)
- Restrictions (Place restrictions on floors only allowing some ranks onto them)
- Floors (Name the Floors, make the floors smaller, bigger [To a point])
- Order-in (Order new furniture in at a cost to make the group building better)
- Summon (summon a member to the leaders office)
The Group Building PC would only be found in the leader’s office on the top floor. The summons option on the PC means that a message would be sent to a member (that the leader chooses) in their group saying that they wish to speak with them, helpful when in need of something done within the group.
The option for the group member that received the message should be to instant summon, which would mean that they would be instantly sent to the leaders office or Deal with it later, which would mean they could do it in their free time. If they were to choose instant summon, when the meeting is over that person would be sent back to the spot that they originally received the message, to save time trying to get back to that area.
The ranks involved within a group and how many can hold these ranks are,
Grunt (?) could have an infinite amount of Grunts
Employee (10) could have up to ten Employees
Executive (5) could have up to five Executives
Officer (3) could have up to three Officers
Leader (1) can only have one leader per group
When beginning a battle, a player’s group name should be put before his or her own, i.e. “Dark Raiders” Michael wants to battle.
The floors for a group building would be as follows (upon purchasing),
1 Floor- The entrance floor
2 Floor- Battling floor
Used for group events, like making a battling competition to see who is the strongest in the group. Can be used for offering a promotion between members of certain ranks, or demotes.
3 Floor- The relaxing floor
This floor is used for the group members, the floor where they relax
4 Floor- Meeting Rooms
Four Meeting rooms are situated on this floor and are used for group meetings, there is a big hall on this floor for a massive meeting and three similar, but smaller rooms, one for meetings with employees, one for meetings with Executives and the other for meetings with officers.
5 Floor- Leader’s Office
The Group leader’s office, the Group Buildings PC is on the Leaders desk so that he/she may sit in front of the desk and sort out problems without having to move.
Beside the front door to the group building, there should be a telecom. People looking to speak with the leader may speak (type a message to the leader’s phone) to him/her through that telecom. This is useful for people wanting to join the group.
21- Legendaries
It becomes easier for players to obtain legendary Pokemon after finding their location, making it much harder to get them would slow this process down. By making the dungeons longer and harder to get to, people will spend a long time trying to obtain them, if they’re desperate. Some of the Legendaries require certain items to obtain them, those items, in the past, could only be gotten by going to Nintendo events, including them into the game is a much easier process.
Kanto Legends
Mew- To get mew, after beating the Kanto Pokemon League players should speak with Sabrina, she should then upgrade the players Ferry ticket so that they can take a boat to a segregated island where a temple is situated to the west of Kanto.
Johto Legends
Celebi- Found in the Ilex Forest Shrine after beating the Johto Pokemon league. Prof Elm should give players the GS ball, which goes in the shrine and reveals Celebi; Celebi should then become a roaming Pokemon found in the Ilex Forest.
Hoenn Legends
Jirachi- Jirachi should be found off the shores of Hoenn region in a temple on an island like mew. After Beating the Hoenn Pokemon League Professor Birch should speak to you in Twinleaf town. He should tell you of an island he discovered a long time ago and upgrades the players ferry pass so that they can travel to the island.
Deoxys- After beating the Pokemon league, players should visit Steven in Mossdeep City, he wants to take players to the moon for helping him stop Team Magma from stealing rocket fuel. He then gives players full permission to take a rocket to the moon. Deoxys should be roaming the moon and as they search for Deoxys, ghost like copies should be roaming the moon as well, Deoxys should be found on the other side.
Sinnoh Region
Dialga- Dialga could be seen on the spear pillar during the nighttime.
Palkia- Palkia could be seen on the spear pillar during the daytime.
Manaphy- The day care man of Sinnoh should give an egg to players because the owner hadn’t returned for 20 years after breeding a certain number of Pokemon and receiving 50 or more eggs.
Phione- Breed a Manaphy and ditto together.
Darkrai- Canalave City gym leader Byron should give players the key for the harbour inn after they beat the Pokemon league, when they rest in the bed, Darkrai will visit them in their sleep.
Shaymin- This one should still be found on route 224-extension island of Sinnoh. The man in Floaroma town meadow should tell players of the bridge that leads into a cave on route 224 where a field of flowers are, and that’s when a bridge would have extended to where the silver stone is on route 224 so that players can access the cave where Shaymin rests.
Arceus- After beating all four Pokemon leagues, Prof. Rowan should give players the heavenly pipe so that they can return to the spear pillar to play the pipes song and have the stairs rise before them leading towards Arceus’s resting place. It would only work if players have captured, beaten or fled from Dialga and Palkia before hand.
22- The Battle Park
The last 200 Battle points are waiting for players here. After beating all four regions Pokemon Leagues, Scott should step onto the players screen telling them of a place for strong trainers. He upgrades their Ferry Ticket so they can take a ferry there. All the battle places are here from past games, the Battle Tower, Battle Pike, etc. Making this the hardest region out of all 5 giving players new quests to complete and beating every Battle Facility Leader gives players more Battle Points for their ID card.
23- The Ferry
When players obtain a ferry ticket, they can use it to take any of the ships to locations like the number islands, legendary hidden caves, other regions, the world rank battle contest hall, the gamblers underground hideout city, etc. The more times players ferry ticket is upgraded, the more locations they can visit.
1- Trainer Card Battle Lv
The Trainer card is your ID card. It also holds all of your data and Achievements within the game. Your Battle Level would also be stored here to. The Battle Level would vary from 1-1000. When you go to Vs gym Leaders a set Lv for their Pokemon would be given depending on your battle Lv. Your Battle Lv cannot go down; this prevents players from trying to beat gym leaders with low Lv Pokemon. This would be useful as all four regions would be apart of this game. Having players getting level 100 Pokemon and going through the other regions quickly beating their gym challenge in under an hour is less enjoyable because the gym leaders from past games have set Pokemon Levels, Brock is between 10-13, what if Kanto was the last region to visit? Brock would be beaten swiftly.
Each region should have a maximum of 200 Battle Levels, all five regions (including a region for the battle park) would equal to 1000 and by beating each gym leader and Elite four member, your battle Lv should go up a certain amount, but by vs. a gym leader or elite four member for the second time, your battle Level should not increase.
2- New Level System
With all four regions a part of this game, reaching Level 100 becomes too easy, defeating all the gyms, etc. Along with the Battle Lv Idea, the highest level you could reach is 1000. Instead of Bulbasaur evolving at Level 16 it would evolve at level 160, then Ivysaur would evolve at level 360.
Once players reach Lv 100, they continue using that/those Pokemon to win battles quick and easy, once they reach level 1000, it might be the same, but it should take a longer time to occur because the game would be huge. This would make levels 1-200 easier to achieve then 201-400 a bit harder followed by 401-600 difficult and so forth.
3- Questing System
Following the same story line to past Pokemon games does get a bit boring after a while, by changing the standard quest of battling gyms and fighting evil teams like team rocket to doing quests for characters on the game could make the game more enjoyable. Below is an example table of some quests that could be made,
From Region Rewards Description
Kurt Johto ?200 + 50 exp to members of party Visit Kurt at the Seal House in Johto to learn how to use seals
SS Anne Captain Kanto Stay Alive!!! Survive the Gyarados attack in the ocean and make it to safety.
Prof. Oak Kanto Pokedex + ?50 Get Oaks parcel order from viridian city and take it to Oak
Notice on Jubilfe City Gym door Sinnoh Gym Badge Take out the Jubilfe Gym Leader
Ruin Explorer Johto Pokedex upgrade/ unknown identifier Explore the ruins of Alpha and help the research team discover new artifacts from Pokemon past
Having a quest log in a newly created key item known as the Navigator Pad helps players to locate quests that have been received whilst playing and shows players what they can do next. Quests could be given to players that speak with non-playing characters with a picture of a pokeball over their head.
The higher the players battle level is should determine on what quests are available to the player at the time, the higher the battle level the more quests that can be accepted.
4- Options
The options menu should be dealt with before starting a new game. Options that should be on the menu should include sound altering, the language you speak (So that the player can be put on a server where everyone speaks their language). On the options screen you should have the option called ignore, if someone bugs you too much, type their name in the ignore option list and they will not be able to talk with you/communicate whatsoever until removed from the list.
5- Field
On the field you run into multiple people that slow you down, and because the game is based around everyone using it at once, people may purposely stand in the way of paths and doorways, if the players could walk through each other this would prevent any blocking problem from occurring.
You could also be able to team up with one other person on the field, to do quests, double battles, etc. This would be helpful to most players using the game.
While you are on the field you are able to ask other players to battle you, if someone says yes they should begin battle like any normal one, but while they battle, others should be able to see the battle to, whilst the battle is taking place the Pokemon that each party has out in battle should be on field standing in front of the owners player, and once a Pokemon has been defeated it should disappear (on the field) and the next Pokemon brought out in battle should appear in its place.
A rising want in the game is for a players party Pokemon to trail along behind them, you should be given the option in the “start” menu under Party to let one Pokemon out to walk with you, the Pokemon should follow behind the player and look like a proper figure like on mystery dungeon.
6- Friend List
As you are put onto a server with people that only speak your language, all the people you meet and converse with the game should ask if you want to record them onto your mobile friend list. If you choose yes, they will be stored onto that list so that you can text them again later on if you feel like it. This option is helpful if you are in a group. When sending someone a message, you should be allowed to write what you like for as long as you like without having a set amount of words that you can use and a list of words you can use. If someone was to use a word that is not acceptable, the game should re-word the inappropriate word(s) so that when and if they are used it comes up as “blah,” this keeps the game fun for younger players.
You should also be able to send messages to multiple people at once and should be given the choice to send a message to the group you are in and/or your entire contacts list. You should also be able to choose who gets a message you want to send by going through your contact list and choosing the people you want to send the message to.
7- The Pokedex System
Because the game is based around all four regions, when a player finishes a region they should move on to the next region and be given that regions Pokedex and not the national Pokedex. They should only receive the national Pokedex either on the fourth region where you gain the final pieces to the Pokedex or when you make it to the fifth region, the Battle Park (or whatever it would be called).
Here is the order the regions should cycle through,
If you start at,
Starting Region Next Region Third Region Fourth Region Battle Park
Kanto Johto Hoenn Sinnoh Battle Park
Johto Hoenn Sinnoh Kanto Battle Park
Hoenn Sinnoh Kanto Johto Battle Park
Sinnoh Kanto Johto Hoenn Battle Park
8- The questionnaire
When you begin a new game a questionnaire filled with multiple questions should appear. When the player has finished answering the questionnaire the game should then tally their results to determine which region they will start off at and which of that regions starting Pokemon the player will begin the game with. The results for which starting Pokemon should be determined by type, e.g. grass would be Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treeko or Turtwig. If the player does not like their results, they should be given the option to either
a) Do the questionnaire again
b) Choose a different starter (Determining type, thus changing their starting region)
c) Start the game
This shows players where their best beginning region would be and which Pokemon they would best start off with.
9- Determining your character
After the Questionnaire is over the screen should show the male and female gender signs. The player should then click on either of the signs to determine their gender. Once the players gender has been chosen, a list of clothes and the colours on the bottom touch screen pad should appear and on the top screen should be the player’s character wearing the default clothes. The player should then use the stylus pen to move through the LIMITED list of Hair, Eyes, Hats, Shirts, Shorts, Dresses, Skirts, Socks, Shoes, Wristbands, Gloves, Face style, Robes, Hooded Robes, Jumpsuits, Capes, Jeans, etc. Once the player has decided what their character looks like, the standard welcome from the lab professor should appear on the screen (depending on which region the questionnaire has you starting at)
10- The Regions Professor
After the introduction the player should find them self in the regions professors’ lab where he gives the player their starting Pokemon and a few extras that will help with the players travels.
Those extras are,
- Navigator Pad (explained later on in part 17)
- The regions Pokedex (after doing the first small quest for the professor)
- Dresser Box (stores all the players clothes)
- A Bag
And
- A Quest Log appt. (also explained in part 17)
11- The New and Old Facilities and What They Offer (VERY IMPORTANT)
Department Store- every city/town
1 Floor- General Products (pokeballs, antidotes, etc)
2 Floor- Technical Machine Store (Tm)
3 Floor- Drug Store (Proteins, Irons, etc)
4 Floor- Clothes Store/Hairdresser (the floor that changes your characters look you can also purchase more clothes, etc.)
5 Floor- Furniture Store (buy furniture for your house, different furniture per store, per region)
a) Tables- Different tables each with different colours, wooden tables, glass tables, etc.
b) Chairs- Sofas, Chairs, Double sofas, wooden chairs, pillows, etc.
c) Electronics- Buy different TVs, lcds, plasmas, Wii’s and Radios (for houses, not the key item)
d) Pokemon dolls- All Pokemon as dolls, only able to buy ones you have seen on the Pokedex.
e) Wallpapers/Paints- Buy different colours and styles for in and out of your house.
f) Beds- Buy different Size beds and styles as well as colours, spotted, stripped, etc.
g) Kitchen Furniture- Sinks, Refrigerators, Double Fridges, etc.
h) Plants- Potted plants, lavish flowers, pretty flowers, etc.
i) Posters- Pokemon Posters, Self drawn posters on touch screen, group symbol posters, screenshots taken using the key item, Camera
j) Carpets/rugs/tiles- Different styles of carpets rugs and tiles with different colours.
k) Bar counters- Counters that come in different colours.
6 Floor- Rooftop square (vending machines, Markets, etc)
The markets should sell unique wares that aren’t found or sold anywhere else, furniture, etc.
Post Office- Every City/Town
The post office should be in every city and town, in it, you should be able to send other player’s items, money, messages, etc. This facility is helpful for sending mail to another player’s house and for receiving mystery gifts from Wii Pokemon games, wifi connection and Nintendo events.
Radio Towers- One in every Region
Radio towers should be stationed in every region, players could set up their own shows to help out other characters in need of help with missions, etc. Background music could be selected from a list of songs that the game has in store for the players show and they can write what they want to say to the viewers/listeners (Just like the Johto version).
Then other players could turn on their Radio (key item attached to the Navigator Pad) and listen to their show. If there was an option beside the radio show that said “call in,” the person running the show can answer the phones to listen to other players problems with the game and give them feedback to help them pass that mission.
Players could name their show so that other players can see what the show is about. There should be a maximum of five shows per region and people can vote for the show by giving it a thumbs up or thumbs down, once a show gets too many thumbs down (after adding the thumbs up to the total score) the show should be taken off air immediately.
Newspaper HQ- One in every Region
With 5 different newspapers (one for each region, including the Battle zone, etc) players from the game can write stories related to the game and/or to help advertise their own Battling events, to help advertise their group, to give other players help with quests given from that region by writing columns, etc.
The newspaper could have a one day newspaper that covers the entire world instead of just one region (maybe on Sunday leaving Saturday free), this newspaper could either be run by the higher level characters or by the Nintendo staff, the newspaper topics could be about when new Nintendo events are happening around the world, whose group is at the top of the ladder where recruiting is concerned showing the past weeks members against the amount gained or lost that week and perhaps what in-game battling events are taking place, like the Masters Pokemon contests and who won them and maybe the best character owned battling event held (A character who held an event that made a huge impact, big crowd turn up, etc.), it could show the winner of the lotto with all ID numbers and the players who defeated the elite four of that region (on the Sunday mail, could say all regions players who defeated the league the previous day, Saturday)
The newspaper could be either bought from a general products merchant or if you speak with a newspaper merchant and pay a large sum of money to get the paper sent to your house for a certain amount of time, then the paper should be sent to your home, this option is useful for those characters who are further in the game and visit their house frequently.
Seal House- One per Region
This place should be where players go to put seals on their pokeballs; people like Kurt from Johto region should be involved with this idea (making more missions). Instead of making seals from their pc, you should make them in a facility like this. It could be easier to not have the Seal Case, if trainers want to have pokeballs with Seals on them they should come and create effects to their Pokemon’s pokeball to give it the edge in entering a battle. Instead of having seals that go on and around the pokeball, make it so that they attach to the pokeballs button at the front of the ball, around the circle area. Seals should also have limits; you should only be able to buy some seals that are of equal or lower then your Battle Level. Players should be given some options to change how each of their Pokemon entered like these,
• Background colour (should the screen dim down making it black so you can only see the entering Pokemon and its seals being shown, or giving different background colours)
• Element effects (Having a huge thunderbolt hurl on the ground where the pokeball has been thrown, elemental effects should give an advantage to the Pokemon that has the seal attached to their pokeball, for e.g. a Lapras had a water seal that made a huge water ball around Lapras when being thrown into battle, Lapras could use its ability Water Absorb to restore some of its health equal to the battle level requirements of the seal if it had been injured in a battle beforehand, etc.
This could also be a disadvantage for the Pokemon with an elemental seal, if a Bulbasaur came out with a fire seal attached to its ball, then Bulbasaur should receive fire damage equal to the elemental seals level and possibly cause a burn. This could also affect other types that come out with a seal that is of a stronger type then itself, e.g. grass seal beats Geodude and could cause bind, constrict, etc.
• And Cry, a Pokemon has a cry that it yells when coming out of a pokeball, the player could edit it’s chorus, pan, reverb and filter like on Sinnoh’s Pokedex
These options would give each Pokemon the fighting edge in a battle either helping or destroying it. Seals should be able to stay on the Pokeball unless removed via the seal house and should remain on when put into a pc or traded. If a Pokemon is traded and the seal attached to it is of too high a level the seal should either not work or work if there is an elemental effect that harms that Pokemon making it difficult to use the Pokemon.
Global Trading Station- One per Region
The Global Trading Station in Diamond and Pearl is frustrating to use, when a player wants to trade more then one Pokemon they can’t. If they went to the global trading station, it should be made so that more then one Pokemon can be put in the GTS at a time. When searching for a Pokemon they are after there should be a vertical list with that Pokemon on it that was searched for instead of using the stylus pen to tap on a character to see which Pokemon they are asking for in trade in return for the Pokemon you are after. The vertical list should have a pocket-sized picture of the actual Pokemon to reveal its difference in gender and colour on the left as the player scrolls down the list.
It should also stay so that you can only search for Pokemon that you have owned or seen in the wild. Instead of having to enter a room with a computer, there should be computers around the walls of the GTS where players can stand and do trades quickly. The game should save after each deposit and each withdrawal to prevent “accidental cloning,” etc.
Pokemon Centers- Every City, some near caves, etc
The Pokemon center in the more recent games, Diamond and Pearl, consist of three floors. The top floor was used for the coliseum and union room, the bottom floor was used for the Wi-Fi club and the ground floor was always for healing Pokemon.
The bottom floor below the Ground floor could be used for having multiple Pc’s around the room so that many players could withdraw and deposit Pokemon at the same time in any of the Pokemon Centers around the world. The top floor could then be used as a battle floor for setting up your own player events. Have many people battle at the same contest until only one person is left standing. The top floor should be set up like the gym leader of the town’s type, e.g. Blaine of Cinnabar Island uses the fire type, and the top floor will look red and fiery. For the Pokemon Centers outside of towns, the top floor will look like its surroundings.
Contest Halls- One in every region plus one on a segregated island for world rank
These halls are found in Hearthome and Liliycove cities. Two new halls should be put in Mahogany Town and Vermillion city that way there are halls in every region. Each hall has 5 floors except for the one on the segregated island,
1 Floor- The entrance hall (where you sign up for a contest or go watch a contest)
2 Floor- Normal Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Normal Rank)
3 Floor- Great Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Great Rank)
4 Floor- Ultra Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Ultra Rank)
5 Floor- Master Rank Floor (This is where you challenge for Master Rank)
For each day of the week there should be a different Contest on each of the floors
Monday- Cool Contest
Tuesday- Beauty Contest
Wednesday- Cute Contest
Thursday- Smart Contest
Friday- Tough Contest
Saturday- Worlds Contest for a different rank each weekend
Sunday- Worlds Contest for a different rank each weekend Round 2
The Segregated Island that has the Worlds Contest Hall on it should have a small contest hall as the entrance that has a backdoor revealing a long path heading up to a massive coliseum.
Because you can go and watch contests you should be able to see all the moves used by the contestants. There should also be linking moves that can be used only in contests to make the Pokemon’s moves more effective in front of the judges with a maximum of two linking moves and the player should not be able to link smart moves and beauty moves, etc, together.
The audience should also have a say as to who did a better job in the contest, depending on how many watch the event, e.g. 5 people are in the audience, therefore 20% is how much their vote would be worth.
There should be only two rounds in a contest, the first being a move contest and the second being a battle between the two best in the round. In the second round battle, the contesting Pokemon should have extra health so that they can have enough time to show off their moves to the audience. Also, because the contest moves have star ratings, damage should be dealt by their ratings and not how much the move would do normally, the audience would then vote on which player they think deserves to win once the battle is done.
Game Corner- One in every Region
The Game corner should be made into a casino where there would be a couple of floors for roulette, blackjack and the slot machines, etc. There should also be the option to trade as much money as you want on the casinos play money instead of the set ?100= 50 tokens and ?10000= 1000 tokens. Players want to give up more coins at a time to get tokens instead of continually talking to the person behind the counter asking for more coins.
A new city should be created, once again on a segregated island for those that are complete gamblers. New casino games and betting tables in massive flashing light buildings should be made. This city would be used for events throughout the week where there are massive bets and money won or lost. There could be poker games that lead to players around the globe betting it out for the highest cash prizes, poker invitational games and receiving a ranking on the poker player ranking list.
12- HM Moves
There are so many HM moves that are always in need in the battlefield, there is barely any space for standard moves that do a lot more damage. There could be a HM move list as well as a Pokemon’s standard 4-move set and there would be 4 standard moves and 4 outside of battle HM moves (which could only be used when in need not in battle). These HM’s would be needed in the game, (randomly numbered)
HM 1- Cut
HM 2- Fly
HM 3- Surf
HM 4- Strength
HM 5- Flash
HM 6- Defog
HM 7- Waterfall
HM 8- Rock Smash
HM 9- Rock Climb
HM 10- Whirlpool
HM 11- Dive
In the options menu the player should be given the choice to ‘instant HM’. This option would enable players to instantly walk up to water and when pushing the direction pad towards the water, the player would immediately surf instead of being asked if they would like to use surf. Walk up to a wall of rocks and, again, scale the wall without interruption. This would not be in effect for the HMs, fly, dive, defog and flash.
13- HM Fly
Fly has been a move to transfer characters in between towns and cities before, fly should now be used for something better, when a player uses HM Fly, they should be lifted up in the air and be able to fly around on the Pokemon that used fly not a figure of a bird, like HM Dive but in the air (this should apply for surf and dive, players want to see what they are riding on). This would be good for finding bird Pokemon in the sky. While using fly you should be able to look down and see any routes, towns, and cities below you and when you reach a city you should be able to dismount in the city area.
With fly being a longer way of travelling to and from other places, people might be annoyed with not being able to get somewhere fast, teleport, dig and extremespeed (examples) should now be used as instant flying to and from locations.
Whilst being in the air and being able to see the routes below the character, clouds should cover certain spots in the sky and should be filled with bird Pokemon. Players will enjoy hunting flying Pokemon of the sky in their natural environment.
14- Pc Boxes
The Pc boxes have had a set standard of box 1, box 2, and so on. Even though players can change them to suit their own style, there should be an option to change the boxes order into Pokemon types, e.g. Grass, all Pokemon with Grass as their first or only type would be put into that box, Dark, all Pokemon with Dark as their first or only type would be put in that box, etc. These boxes should also have different backgrounds to suit the Pokemon’s type. If players were to choose this option, the set up should be made and all Pokemon caught out in the wild should be automatically put into their first or only type box (if the players party is full), this saves a lot of time running back and fourth to the PC’s.
15- Interaction with other players while in the game
Because this game is entirely Wi-Fi based, you can see other characters running around the cities, caves, grass fields, etc. Whenever players stop and talk to someone they should be given the following options,
Talk (write a message to the person which will be sent to their phone [key item])
Trade (Trade Pokemon on the spot, as long as it saves before and afterwards)
Give (Give items/money to that person, not key items)
Add (Adds that person to your phone friend list, after conversing with them, the game should ask the player again just in case they forgot to add them earlier)
Group Add (If the player is a group leader or a Officer, they can add new members, the selected player is given the choice to join)
Party Add (Invites the player to join as partners to finish quests, etc)
House Evict (Kick someone out of your house, only usable in a house that you own)
16- Pal Park
Because of the new levelling system, Pal Park would not be in the game because the old levelling system is in use and Pokemon would evolve at lower levels then what they would with the new levelling system of this game.
17- Navigator Pad
The navigator pad would be the bottom touch screens function that would be used in the field (mainly). Every time a player logs onto the game the following options should be on the Navigator Pad and once clicked on, that feature of the Navigator Pad should be displayed. The following uses of the Navigator Pad are as follows,
Navigator
• See the world rotate before the player on the bottom touch screen and use the stylus to click on a region. The screen would zoom in on the region showing the cities, then use the stylus to click on a city of that region and the screen will zoom in again showing the map off the city. If the player clicks on him or herself, it should zoom in on them and as they travel the map will show where they are heading.
• The world should be shaded black except for the region you start off in. When zoomed in on a region, the paths that normally link up to cities should not be shown until the player has travelled along them. This stops players from finding hidden areas too soon, i.e. Crescent Moon Island, etc.
Players
• Shows all the players in the same route, city/town or cave, etc. as you. If a player was to click on that persons name it should show their ID card, telling the player their standard information like which group they are in, and how many badges they have, etc.
Real Estate Searcher
• When a player clicks on this heading they should be given subheadings to choose from,
- Size (choose the size of house you are after)
- City (only ones you have been to)
- Search (search for the desired houses)
• The Real Estate Searcher will find similar houses to that description in that area and give you the list of places available. If the player likes some of them, just tap on a house that looks decent and it will show them screenshots (taken by the old owner) of the interior and exterior, Helpful when buying a house. If they still like what they see, just click on the buy button and the house will be signed over to them (with all the furniture taken out of course, everything but the paint and floorboards/carpet)
• (This function is explained more in part 18)
Region Badges
• Due to the big amount of badges in this game, you can’t fit them all on your ID card, so they should be listed here.
“Group,” (your group or joined groups name)
• The group function allows you to see what group you are in or leading and what ranks all of your /fellow members are in. If you are the leader of a group, you can see where your members are and what they are doing, if they are battling, walking, running, etc. If that member of your group is not where they should be and isn’t obeying your orders, you can kick him/her from the group.
The subheadings for a group MEMBER,
- “Characters Name” (shows your details and involvement within the group, your notes, etc)
- Group members (shows the list of people in this group, also showing their rank)
- Leave Group (click on this to leave the group, the game should ask if you want to leave again, just in casse it was accidental)
The subheadings for a LEADER are,
- “Group Details” (Shows the group info, how many members, location of HQ, etc.)
- Notes Section (Leave up to 3 notes per member that only they can read, most of the time these notes are missions given out by the Leader)
- Group Members (Shows the list of members in the group, the leader can click on a group members name and will be given options to, 1. Promote 2. Demote 3. Kick Out.
- Rename Group (Change the name of your group)
- Disband Group (Split the group up)
• (More on this subject explained below)
Quest Log
• The section of the navigator pad that holds all quests given and completed. By tapping the Quest Log Heading, a vertical list of quests obtained will appear that once tapped will give a progress report as to how far the player has gone with that specific quest. In the report of a quest a button in the bottom right hand corner will show a picture of a map where the player can see where exactly they must go in order to finish or pass a certain section of the quest.
Radio
• Pressing the A button on this part of the Navigator Pad will take the bottom touch screen pad to a new screen that shows a stereo tuner, using the stylus pen left to right tunes the radio to what show the player seems interested in, once they tap the ok button on the bottom corner of the touch screen, the radio show will start from where the player started listening and new writing will appear when the shows host types more. They will be able to scroll up and down using the arrow buttons on the left hand side of the screen; useful if the player missed something interesting or important. To call in, tap the button in between the arrow scrolling buttons and then if the host of the show agrees to take the call, a typing field will appear and the player must then type their message in and click ok/send and all other listeners will be able to see what they have typed/sent in.
18- Real Estate
On the bottom touch screen pad is the Navigator Pad and one of its functions is “Real Estate Searcher.”
When a player touches that heading, a new screen would appear showing two subheadings,
- My Estates (My owned homes)
- Buy new real estate
If the player chooses to buy new real estate they will be shown these three subheadings,
- Size (the size of the house they are after, look below)
- City (the city you want to buy a house in, only ones you have been to)
- Search (Search for the described list of houses)
Apartment ?$100,000
One Story ?$100,000
Two Story ?$200,000
Three Story ?$300,000
Mansion ?$400,000
Penthouse ?$500,000
Group Building ?$300,000
When the search is over the player will be given a list of houses that are up for sale. If they use the stylus pen to tap one of those houses it will give details as to what the house is like, and will show screenshots of the house (taken by the original owner). If they like the house they just have to tap the button at the bottom right hand side that says BUY. When tapped, the game will ask if the player wants to buy this house for ($$$$)? Then they need to tap YES or NO.
Once a player buys a house, all the furniture that they saw in the screenshot will be removed and taken with the old owner. They will only own one piece of furniture and that’s their very own PC. Players must buy their own furniture from any of the Department stores in any city; each cities department store has different furniture. When they want to put furniture down in their house, they must go to their house and use their PC (just like the underground in Sinnoh), there should be no limit as to how much furniture can be put down, as long as the players character can walk in front of the PC and have access to the front door. Nobody else should have access to the owner of the houses PC; no one can take or move furniture from a player’s house. The PC also has another feature, “The Doorbell,” while inside a players owned house they can choose to lock the door so that people have to ring the doorbell, when they do the game will ask if you want to let them in or not, either click YES or NO.
Every house has a mailbox and when a player interacts with it, these options will appear,
- Check Mail (mail sent from the post office, from characters, newspaper, gifts, mystery gifts)
- Decorate Exterior (Paint the outside walls, roof, etc.)
- Name your house (default name is “(characters name)’s house”
- Move Out (Leave this house)
If a player wants to sell one or more of their houses, they must move to that/those houses mailbox and choose the move out option,
The game will ask if the player is sure, if they choose yes, the game will ask them to take some screenshots of their house using the key item Camera for the Real Estate Searcher. Once they have taken 4 photos and chosen the main image for display, bigger than the other three the game will save and add their house to the Real Estate Searcher so that people can look at it and hopefully buy it. The game will give it a set price and once sold all the old owners furniture will be put in the PC for their new home. If they don’t want to wait for a buyer, the game should give them the choice to sell their house to the Real Estate Company (The Real Estate Searcher) but for half the advertised price, the house will stay on the Searcher for sale, just not owned by the player.
In each of the cities is a massive hotel like building; this building is where all the apartments are,
1 Floor- Entrance floor, elevators, stairs and admin desk are located on this floor
2 Floor-10 Floor- Guest rooms, hotel rooms up for use every day (three rooms per floor)
11 Floor-14 Floor- Apartments (three apartments per floor)
15 Floor- Penthouse spaning the whole floor with its own upper level floor (one per building, per city)
If a player speaks with the admin on the first floor they can choose to stay in a room for a certain price. This comes in helpful when travelling and waiting for city events to occur, i.e. Pokemon Contests.
The penthouse is two floors, the player enters on the bottom floor and on that floor are stairs leading to the top floor (the pc would allow you to change the style of the stairs from standard sloping stairs to rotating ones, etc) where the top floor is overlooking the bottom one. The bottom floor allows the player to walk out onto a veranda where they can see the entire city. Penthouses are good for parties and if no one is living in a penthouse, players can rent it out for a fee (or buy it from the Real Estate Searcher); just speak with the hotel admin on the first floor.
19- Organisations
An organisation is a group that is a part of the game, a group that was not made by a character. A character can only join an organisation once they have defeated that teams Leader (In Johto’s case, all of the Admin staff) and once done will be asked to join their team to help them succeed in future plans which then leads to new quests. These organisations and their leaders are,
Organisation Region Leader Extra Info
Team Rocket Kanto Giovanni Could make a quest line to help hide Giovanni after the destruction of team rocket.
Neo (New) Team Rocket Johto No set leader With no Leader ruling Neo Team Rocket, except for the admin’s, a quest line could be made to find a new leader to rule Neo Team Rocket with the most unlikely choices narrowed down to… Butch and Cassidy or Jesse and James. Once that mission is complete either choice should attempt to steal your Pokemon team. You then battle the new leader and soon find yourself on the run from the HQ. Once you leave the HQ you should be removed from the organisation.
Team Magma Hoenn Maxie While the rivalry between Magma and Aqua continues, a quest line could be made to demolish Team Aqua and disband their group forever.
Team Aqua Hoenn Archie While the rivalry between Magma and Aqua continues, a quest line could be made to demolish Team Magma and disband their group forever.
Team Galactic Sinnoh Cyrus With no Dialga or Palkia at their side. Team Galactic soon begins search for The Heavenly Pipe, which they can then use to summon Arceus and destroy the world.
(The Quest lines under the extra info column are just guide lines as to what missions COULD be made to make a player want to play more)
Players can only be in one Group/organisation at a time, if they want to join a different team, they must leave the one they are in now.
When a player joins an organisation they will receive the team’s outfit that they must wear to pledge their allegiance to that team, the outfit will then be put into the key item “Dresser,” where players can go to try on new clothes.
Once a player joins an organisation, they will notice that the Navigator Pad will have a new heading replacing “Group.” This spot will now say “(Organisation’s name).” when they tap this heading with their stylus pen, new sub headings will appear giving them information regarding the organisation.
- “(Organisation)” Info (Tells the player which other players are in this organisation)
- Missions (Tells the player what missions have been given to them while in this organisation)
- Leave Organisation (Leave the Organisation, forfeiting the outfit and access to HQ)
Players can never rank to the Leader of an Organisation; the highest rank for players would be Officer.
The ranks accessible by players are,
Grunt
Executive
Officer
Admin
20- Groups
Groups are different from organisations but have similar systems. When a player finishes their home regions Pokemon League, they will notice that when they check their Navigator Pad next, there will be new options under the “Group” Heading,
- Make Group (Tap on this to move onto the next screen, to start the creation of the group)
When this heading is tapped the game will ask the player if they want to pay 100,000 to start a group, if they choose YES the game will then ask what they want to name their group, type in a name (should give up to 25 characters, for longer names), once that is done, they will be required to choose what clothes put together will make up their group outfit, when they have chosen the clothes and colours they will be required to make a Group Symbol. Players would use the bottom touch screen pad and the stylus pen to draw a symbol in the square area choosing from the list of colours to the left of the square area.
Once they have made their groups symbol, they would then have to choose where the symbol would go on the outfit; options should be given so that they can have it in more then one spot, if wanting to, by either tapping the below options with the stylus pen or by pressing the A button on the choices.
- Chest
- Back
- Left arm
- Right arm
- Front of hat/hood
- Left side of pants
- Right side of pants
- On wristbands
Players should also be able to rotate themselves while making the outfit, so they can see what it would look like from all angles and while they choose where the symbol will go.
Once all of the above is done, their group will finally be made. Groups, like organisations, have HQ buildings where all the Groups members can go to relax and hang out at. The Group Buildings could be bought from the Real Estate Searcher. There should be ONE Group Building per city making it harder to obtain one. When players buy a Group Building, they can’t put furniture into it. The Building already has furniture, they just get to move it around and move them between floors and they could go to the Group Building PC and order new furniture in from Group Furniture Companies, (which would be sent straight to the PC and could only be used for the Group Building). Players should also be able to name each floor and put restrictions down on them, this way group leaders can stop low ranks from going where they aren’t allowed and telling ranks which floors are which, (This could be done via the Group Building PC), the options would be,
- Re Decorate (change the style of the Building)
- Restrictions (Place restrictions on floors only allowing some ranks onto them)
- Floors (Name the Floors, make the floors smaller, bigger [To a point])
- Order-in (Order new furniture in at a cost to make the group building better)
- Summon (summon a member to the leaders office)
The Group Building PC would only be found in the leader’s office on the top floor. The summons option on the PC means that a message would be sent to a member (that the leader chooses) in their group saying that they wish to speak with them, helpful when in need of something done within the group.
The option for the group member that received the message should be to instant summon, which would mean that they would be instantly sent to the leaders office or Deal with it later, which would mean they could do it in their free time. If they were to choose instant summon, when the meeting is over that person would be sent back to the spot that they originally received the message, to save time trying to get back to that area.
The ranks involved within a group and how many can hold these ranks are,
Grunt (?) could have an infinite amount of Grunts
Employee (10) could have up to ten Employees
Executive (5) could have up to five Executives
Officer (3) could have up to three Officers
Leader (1) can only have one leader per group
When beginning a battle, a player’s group name should be put before his or her own, i.e. “Dark Raiders” Michael wants to battle.
The floors for a group building would be as follows (upon purchasing),
1 Floor- The entrance floor
2 Floor- Battling floor
Used for group events, like making a battling competition to see who is the strongest in the group. Can be used for offering a promotion between members of certain ranks, or demotes.
3 Floor- The relaxing floor
This floor is used for the group members, the floor where they relax
4 Floor- Meeting Rooms
Four Meeting rooms are situated on this floor and are used for group meetings, there is a big hall on this floor for a massive meeting and three similar, but smaller rooms, one for meetings with employees, one for meetings with Executives and the other for meetings with officers.
5 Floor- Leader’s Office
The Group leader’s office, the Group Buildings PC is on the Leaders desk so that he/she may sit in front of the desk and sort out problems without having to move.
Beside the front door to the group building, there should be a telecom. People looking to speak with the leader may speak (type a message to the leader’s phone) to him/her through that telecom. This is useful for people wanting to join the group.
21- Legendaries
It becomes easier for players to obtain legendary Pokemon after finding their location, making it much harder to get them would slow this process down. By making the dungeons longer and harder to get to, people will spend a long time trying to obtain them, if they’re desperate. Some of the Legendaries require certain items to obtain them, those items, in the past, could only be gotten by going to Nintendo events, including them into the game is a much easier process.
Kanto Legends
Mew- To get mew, after beating the Kanto Pokemon League players should speak with Sabrina, she should then upgrade the players Ferry ticket so that they can take a boat to a segregated island where a temple is situated to the west of Kanto.
Johto Legends
Celebi- Found in the Ilex Forest Shrine after beating the Johto Pokemon league. Prof Elm should give players the GS ball, which goes in the shrine and reveals Celebi; Celebi should then become a roaming Pokemon found in the Ilex Forest.
Hoenn Legends
Jirachi- Jirachi should be found off the shores of Hoenn region in a temple on an island like mew. After Beating the Hoenn Pokemon League Professor Birch should speak to you in Twinleaf town. He should tell you of an island he discovered a long time ago and upgrades the players ferry pass so that they can travel to the island.
Deoxys- After beating the Pokemon league, players should visit Steven in Mossdeep City, he wants to take players to the moon for helping him stop Team Magma from stealing rocket fuel. He then gives players full permission to take a rocket to the moon. Deoxys should be roaming the moon and as they search for Deoxys, ghost like copies should be roaming the moon as well, Deoxys should be found on the other side.
Sinnoh Region
Dialga- Dialga could be seen on the spear pillar during the nighttime.
Palkia- Palkia could be seen on the spear pillar during the daytime.
Manaphy- The day care man of Sinnoh should give an egg to players because the owner hadn’t returned for 20 years after breeding a certain number of Pokemon and receiving 50 or more eggs.
Phione- Breed a Manaphy and ditto together.
Darkrai- Canalave City gym leader Byron should give players the key for the harbour inn after they beat the Pokemon league, when they rest in the bed, Darkrai will visit them in their sleep.
Shaymin- This one should still be found on route 224-extension island of Sinnoh. The man in Floaroma town meadow should tell players of the bridge that leads into a cave on route 224 where a field of flowers are, and that’s when a bridge would have extended to where the silver stone is on route 224 so that players can access the cave where Shaymin rests.
Arceus- After beating all four Pokemon leagues, Prof. Rowan should give players the heavenly pipe so that they can return to the spear pillar to play the pipes song and have the stairs rise before them leading towards Arceus’s resting place. It would only work if players have captured, beaten or fled from Dialga and Palkia before hand.
22- The Battle Park
The last 200 Battle points are waiting for players here. After beating all four regions Pokemon Leagues, Scott should step onto the players screen telling them of a place for strong trainers. He upgrades their Ferry Ticket so they can take a ferry there. All the battle places are here from past games, the Battle Tower, Battle Pike, etc. Making this the hardest region out of all 5 giving players new quests to complete and beating every Battle Facility Leader gives players more Battle Points for their ID card.
23- The Ferry
When players obtain a ferry ticket, they can use it to take any of the ships to locations like the number islands, legendary hidden caves, other regions, the world rank battle contest hall, the gamblers underground hideout city, etc. The more times players ferry ticket is upgraded, the more locations they can visit.
