Working on a game set in the Mojave desert. Looking for ideas.

>>29360387
The main character is a cactus.

>>29360387
Do you want fakemon ideas or cities, characters and story?

Go play fallout New Vegas.

>>29360387
Was this supposed to go to /v/? Are you talking about a pokemon fangame?
>>29360450
Also this

>>29360450
>/thread

>>29360417
of course this is the first suggestion

first post best post I guess

Also I, I think Pokemon based on the desert tortoise, pronghorn, California quail, Costa's hummingbird, desert bighorn sheep, kangaroo rat, desert snail, roadrunner, pupfish, chuckwalla, burrowing owl, elf owl, Gila monster, and cactus wren are mandatory.

>>29360450
now I want a New Vegas themed pokémon romhack

>>29360489
That would be awesome. Isn't there a Fallout mod that adds Pokemon? If so it should work to add mons to new Vegas.

Mons, Mons never changes.

Fakemons or no?
If you are, don't fall for that "Every Pokemon must correlate to actual desert animals!" meme. You'll end up with a really boring and predictable dex. Have some variety.
That being said, Tarantula Hawk Pokemon is a necessity.

A rpg, fun, with a casino
>>29360417
That's a good idea also

>>29360489
What pokemon would be deathclaws? Cazadors? Would these even be replaced by pokemon?
Legion would have Houndoom. Vulpes would have to have a Vulpix. BoS and Enclave would use electric and steel types, but the Enclave would also have things like Porygon.

>>29360460
Pokemon game yeah.
>>29360450
There a few survival scenarios in the game, I guess its a bit inspired by fallout? Gud game.
>>29360442
Mostly looking for general stuff that fans have always wanted in a game. This can be fakemon, features, post-game stuff, etc.

>>29360387
Have references to Colosseum, since Orre is based on Arizona.

>>29360387
Expand your POV a little and use some inspiration from the Sonoran desert as well.

You get a lot of interesting biodiversity anywhere that biomes meet. Along the Colorado River, or along the Sea of Cortez, or where the mountains climb to high enough to be pine forests (the San Francisco peaks near Flagstaff AZ for example). You also get Thronscrub and Grasslands, cactus forests along with huge bosques of paloverde trees.

Forgive me, I'm sort of doing some research for you as I go so I'll try to get some interesting pictures as I go.

>>29360746
Ah! I am actually using Sonoran and chihuahuan, just thought they wouldn't be as recognizable to y'all.

Lots of people know about the saguaro cactus in AZ, but another really weird ass cactus is the boojum. They're up to 2 feet thick and covered in tiny leaves, it's related to the ocotillo which is the really thin looking plant in the background here.

Other interesting cactus to dry inspiration from for background of pokemon are the pricklypear and jumping cholla (which inspired maractus).

>>29360387
Make a pokemon based on the Whintosser.
It is this really weird California legend about this creature that is virtally indestructible, and can rotate it's body to whatever pair of legs are in good shape if damaged.
>Whoever came up with this legend I applaud them

>>29360861
Now onto some mamallian fauna.

On the order of the large, I think the most disctint and interesting is the Javelina. Wild pigs that travel sololy or in packs. Part of their primary diets is the prickly pear pads. They are willing to encroach on the cities in the region as well as living in the wild scrub.

Other large mammals I would draw inspiration from are mountain lions, bears, bighorn sheep in the Santa Ritas, bison, and elk.

going a little smaller you have foxes, skunks, raccoons, a billions different kinds of bats.

Smaller still there are lots of mice (particularly Pack Rats), rats, rabbits.

>>29360863
Using local legend like>>29360869
Is a good idea.
It makes your region feel like the place it represents.Also creatures/plants that could survive in the environment.
Example:Pangoro and pancham thrive in the densely vegitated forest in the mountains of Kalos.

I keep forgetting to put on pictures.

>>29360387
So pokemon colosseum?

>>29360869
OMG I love that thing

>>29361142
Kek it basically is Orre 2.0, unless Arizona has a different desert.

Dark/Ground Imp based on a dust devil, able to use moves like Gust. Evolves into a genie or something idk.

Fairy/Ground Jackrabbit for sure

Add a swamp area in the southern portion and add some crocodilemons or something. Regional Sandile line Water/Grass would be cool.

Ice/Ghost or Ice/Dark Wendigo?

Sasquatch Ground/Fighting maybe.

^ Those two could be counterparts too.

Locust mon with schooling clone? Bug/Dark? Bug/Ground?

Rare Saguaro cactus mon

Wolf mouse is the early rodent? Could be cool.

Make sure you get some regional mons. Stuff like that would be cool.

Have a draw

>>29360861
I was thinking and I'm doing a whole lot of disservice to my source material ( https://www.desertmuseum.org/books/nhsd_welcome.php ). I must have lent it to someone because its nowhere in my apartment.

It has a fantastic and relatively approachable geologic history and lots of great essays on the wildlife in the region.

Moving on to amphibians.

There are lots of tiny frogs and toads that live in along river beds. One of which (bufo alvarius) is a primary source of DMT production for the psychonautic community. In the slightly cooler and wetter areas you can find tiger salamanders. In the rocky parts of the desert you get western banded geckos (who don't climb on windows) and non-native species like the Mediterranean house geckos live any where you have a human population.

This thing is already a pokemon lol holy shit.

I think playing FO:NV will give you a some ideas for possible map layouts

>>29361338
Keke Keke
>>29360387
Do you have any beta designs for pokemon/maps etc.?

>>29360387
You aren't working on any game and if you are starting you will never finish.

You will have ideas and nothing more.
This thread is useless.

>>29361597
Take it anon, you deserve it, (You).

>>29361597
I've been working since June during free time. Just like to get fresh ideas ever so often to toss in.

>>29361704
Can you post a screenshot of you current work?

Its not very screenshot worthy, since its been mostly editing moves, items, dex stats and the like, the visuals come second. Theres a ton of pokemon that are like the alola forms, so been reworking movepools and typings, then working on tiles. Heres a bit of stuff. Been learning from romhack tutorials, so much of it is sort of learning endeavors and testing what all I can do.

>>29362486
Oh hey, I remeber the last time you posted your starters.

>>29362581
Yea, August and September weren't very productive as I got a puppy, but life's mellowed out again so I'm back in action.
