The basis of D/P

[DarkTyphlosion]

RBY, GSC, and FRLG were just based around being a good PKMN trainer...
RSE were based around land, water and sky
do you think that DP will be based on Life and Death or something?

 

[Antero]

I doubt it would be based upon anything as heavy as life and death. Although I would like it to be based upon simply becoming the best trainer and completing your Pokedex, i think GF will come up with some other core element with which to revolve the storyline around.

That would be awesome, but I highly doubt it.
...By the way, how do you make polls?

There is an option at the bottom of the New Thread screen.

Becoming a good PKMN Trainer (like RBY GSC FRLG)

Thank you!

It's an abbriviation for "Game Freak."

I think it could mean about life and death, but I didn't poll for it. Some games are already like that, such as Tales of Symphonia. Well, not really, but it had those two qualities in there at times.

I think that GSC had a strong focus on the past and present, not only the ancient past (essentially everything in Ecruteak) but the recent past as well (Team Rocket and the "three years ago" thing).

Anyways, I speculate that Pokemon D/P will focus mainly on the frontier of the (brave) new world. Technology will be absolutely rife in the game, and such down-to-earth traditions will only be livable within the halls of a museum. Otherwise, everything is built up to the highest caliber to which it can be built, which raises the ever-looming question of "How much is too much?"

Or something like that.

 

[AJ Flibble]

You mean the future?

Anyway, I think that there will be indeed a futuristic or a changing-of-the-future aspect in D/P and I hope the series gets deeper plot-wise. As for cities, they'd probably draw inspiration from the metropolitan zones in the Sonic series perhaps. Other than that, I don't know. If not, it will just be "Be the best trainer and become a master".

 

[Smile Guy]

I doubt it.

I think there will be a larger contributing story, though.

Not so much an emphasis on the future as one on technology.

Alternatively, there could be an emphasis on exploration, which would spell plenty of hidden goodies for us to find.

 

[TheTurquoiseTauros!]

it would be cool if it revolved around trying to make friends with as many pokemon trainers so they can all band together and save the world from an evil team thats similar to team rocket, go-go....

 

[ArrEmmDee]

GSC felt like you were playing the past in the present-- it was really, really, a wierd feeling. RBY was just, an adventure. Interacting with the world, and seeing cities interacting with Pokémon.

RSE sucked never mind it.


I think by this point, everyone is assuming DP is going to be about the future, and like in GSC, playing that time period in the present. There might be some sort of foreshadowing-- you know how in movies that absolutely know there is going to be a sequel, this sometimes allows them to not necessarily tie up all the loose ends in that single instance (re: Star Wars Episode V, one of those LotR movies) I would not be surprised at all if this story ended with a sort of looming incompletion-- not necessarily that the evil Team won, but that evil as a theme beat out good this time, and there'll probably be a lot of foreshadowing with regards to the next generation's occurances in terms of plot.

It won't be SUPER evil, it could be something as simple as the final boss bad guy being defeated, but announcing they will return, leaving us all in eager anticipation of the next series, when we find out what their next plan is. Or they'll be defeated and leave us with some haunting message that even though they're gone, the effects of what they've done is still present in what they've done to Pokémon/people/cities/whatever.



Nah I'm just thinking too much again. I do like my general theme though; the future being lived in the present (opposite of GSC), and a few loose ends not tied up (opposite of FR/LG, whose Fame Checker and Rainbow Islands sought to bridge between Generation I and Generation II).

I'm liking the sounds of that, Eszett. Though I can't see anything being too technological, something like La Rousse {I believe that's the name for the city in the 7th movie, correct me if I'm wrong} would be quite fitting for a few cities, though seeing a few regular towns and cities would leave a nice impression as well. Like a hint towards what it will be like in the future, and what it was like in the past. Though obviously, the Pokemon World's environment is much better cared for then our own is, so no doubt the world outside human areas would likely still be lush and relatively untainted.

what i dont understand

What don't you understand, exactly? =\

 

[◘Ins0mnIac◘]

All I know is it would be pretty friggin cool if you could go back in time after you beat D/P and catch ancient Pokemon(Kabuto, Anorith, Relicanth) but yea a serious past/present/future theme would be awesome(like Zelda: Oracle of Ages.)

 

[TerrickTerran]

Time would be an awesome theme.

 

[pugman3000]

Time would be a cool theme, but I wish they would do something like a world traveler theme where after the main region is complete you can decide to go to an older region like in G/S/C.

 

[Metal Force]

Well i hope in the futrure will have both good trainer & something new.

There should be a stronger story line, like trying to rescue someone. Bring back Team Rocket and the Red-Haired-Guy (GSC Rival).
