I see a typo!!! Oh well, it's ruined, there goes the neighbourhood...

Well, it looks sort of cool, and as soon as I saw the vigilantes I immediately thought "a super-humans mod would be cool" maybe with a high rate of assassination of the supers that go public and join the police while the vigilantes and villains somehow get through the legal process with their identities concealed... But I am getting ahead of myself. This looks like something that I would want to exist, so I am tempted to pour on the wants for it. But would I actually be willing to support it? I can't really say that with confidence. I do like the idea, but there is so much competition out there... So, umm, I guess I can offer a vague but noncommittal "it looks great!"...

Speaking of superheroes, that reminds me of another idea that I had a while ago:

A "4x" game (stuff like Civilization, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, etc) in which pollution is a good thing because units standing on polluted or radioactive tiles have a chance to be upgraded/"mutated" into superhuman versions.

A mature Pokemon RPG. Not mature as in pornographic, but like The Witcher.

Wait...

But seriously, a Pokemon game with meaningful choices, real-time combat and the like would (probably) be incredible.

Each move has a "timer"- use Hyper Beam, and you're a sitting duck for quite a while, where Quick Attack could be spammed pretty well. Maybe reduce the effectiveness of repeatedly using the same move...

mmm. bro. How about like REAL TIME COMBAT? and pokemon can die? everyone can die? in somewhat visceral ways too! the plot elements introduced by all the wanton killing has the potential for a great story too!

I do not really see how real-time would make something more mature, but it is not an inherently bad thing either.

the real time part has nothing to do with maturity. its just different from what pokemons been doing.

Something like VATS would be fun in Pokémon*. Hit button, click on body parts, watch Pikachu zap enemies' limbs one at a time in slow motion.

(*For the record, I used to get irritated by people who put on the accent but since my keyboard is configured so I can do it easily I figured why the hell not)

Just because it's easy is no reason to perpetuate a defunct grammatical convention

Unfortunately though, Pokemon doing real time in a massive real-time open world RPG with meaningful choices, actual plotlines and death as a real danger is unfortunately practically impossible now. There are too many different Pokemon and of too many different shapes and sizes to properly model all of them in good quality. Too many different moves to animate. It just isn't really possible from a technical standpoint (if they want to include every single Pokemon.)

Still, something with full 3D world exploration would be pretty neat, even if the battles were turn based. (By full 3D I mean over-the-shoulder as opposed to the kind of isometric-ish thing they have at the moment.)

The more impossible it is! THE BETTER IT WILL SELL! HAHAHA... I have played much too much game dev tycoon.

Probably the best we could hope for we be a Divinity: Original Sin or XCOM-like combat system.

I think they meant to say it would make it more trendy.

IT WOULD MAKE IT MORE AWESOME

You could always just use a subset, assuming that the game wouldn't be so focused on the "Catch em all" thing. Quality over quantity, and all that.
