make an all regions pokemon game without completely fucking up

each region tells a different story from a different character's perspective

>>30850842

And in order to sell more, they're split into different games.

>>30850787
Each Region forces you to start anew similar to Ash's adventure in the anime. Have to do the game's plot + 8 gyms.

League conference at the end of all 7 regions lets you use whatever mons you want. You fight in a best of 16 tournament featuring NPCs you met across your journeys then an E4 made of champions and an all new final champion.

>>30850787
that sounds like it'd be really difficult to do

>>30850787
The PC systems from different regions don't get synced up until you get 7/8th of the way through a given region, so you have to pull an Ash Ketchum whenever you go to a new one.

Make it a spinoff that doesn't use levels.
>Play as Looker
>Interpol sends you on various missions throughout the different regions
>Infiltrate various locations with a variety of disguises, and take on the evil teams without using any Pokemon

>>30850787
Impossible. Just two ruined Johto.

Simple.

We raise the level cap to 200.

A game in the style of Around the World in 80 Days.

>>30850909
how do you keep the difficulty up in later regions if you have to keep starting over with new pokemon

unless youre starting at like level 30 or something each time, so other trainers can have actual movesets and strategies

>>30850787
Basically you'd have to start out with a new team each time. Until maybe the final region starts off with shit in level 60 and goes up from their, allowing you to use mons you cleared the other leagues with

>>30850787

You have to leave your pokemon in the box at the start of a new region and can't use them there until that region's post game.

How many regions are there? 6? Pokemon gain exp six times slower than normal. Or you could make the curve different; levels 1-50 are normal, then you fight the first League, and then leveling slows down by an exponential amount, such that you'd be around level 90-100 by the end of all the regions.

So most of the game would be post-50. That's how I'd make it work, at least.

>>30850966
Region 1 is like G1/G2 where trainers have shit strategies and barely any EVs/IVs.
Region 7 has things like the first gym leader having a 252+SpA 6IV Power Herb Solar Beam with a drought setter who knows U-turn being in the team despite being like level 11.

>>30850888
This sounds pretty neat. Much more unique than what I was thinking which was only visiting major towns for a tournament.

Have gyms have set levels. After a set amount of gyms are done all Pokemon are level 100 and IVs are increased until the last gym in which all Poke's have max IVs

>>30851121
>>30850888
Additionally, have Totem Boosts for bosses. Characters who are supposed to be super strong get boosts to their pokemon to increase fighting prowess.
I.E. to counteract the fact that the AI is garbage, against Cynthia in the Champion's E4, her Garchomp would start the fight with +1 Spd and +1 Atk.

If we're going full references, you could give Red or Satoshi a Pikachu with +6 to all stats to make it accurate to the anime/manga.

>>30850787
Like PMD you are given a questionnary and depending of the answers the game choose a region for you. Each region has the same mechanics that the last games of it had (Johto includes Kanto 3 years later, Kanto includes FRLG Kanto and Sevii Islands with Physical/Special split), National Dex is the same as Gen 7, and each region has the same Pokémon distribution as the last games of that region (FRLG Kanto don't includes Gen 3-7 Pokémon, Johto and Kanto 3 years later don't include Gen 5-7 Pokémon, etc.)

It's messier than shit, but it's the closest you'd ever get to a game that isn't shit-fucked by most pokemon game's pacing.

>>30850787
Wait if it's all region who's gonna be the main professor or is it gonna be just
All of them at once?

>>30850887
Perfect, ship 'em out! We'll call it the 20th anniversary collection and make pikachu the main character because god knows people love that useless piece of shit.

>>30850787
Reset the effect of gym badges when you arrive at the pokelab of the next region. There done it

>>30851442
That sounds aweful.

>>30851463
All of them ofcourse, in their respective region

>>30851582
That's literally the point.
It's physically impossible to make a "Pokemon World" game without removing the story. And let's be real; GF won't do it, so getting a good game with a good story with good pacing/difficulty curve just isn't going to happen.

>>30851691
Wrong, you can have each region have it's own story which is connected to the actual main story.
stop thinking every pokemon game should be 20 hours.

Story is about friend traveling together and experiencing historic locations.
Rival is a legit asshole to you; blocking your path and making you find other ways through routes.
Losing to your friends/rival won't black you out. They'll remember their victories, though.
You get older as you travel each region, starting at age 10 and ending at age 16. Your character visibly changes per region (gets taller, gains muscle / t&a)
Lock pokemon per region, as stated already
Lock GTS and WT to the region you're in; beat the game to get anything at any time.
Legendary pokemon unlocked when you beat the game entirely; they're level 100 and have totem boosts to all stats.
Gyms and E4 scale with your pokemon. It will always be harder than regular fights. E4 can have pokemon over level 100 with appropriate stats

Don't need a fancy story. Just a fun game that lets you relive the entire franchise and see the world in full 3D for the first time.

>>30851771
>Game Freak ever letting you play as more than one single character in the same game

>>30851771
What happens when you reach level 100 halfway through the 2/7 region? That's the problem with Johto. It's never been by itself. What was the level of the first gym? 9? It's bad to have more than one region unless you want the first region to be 1-50 and the second to be 51-100 and change the exp curve.

>>30850920
This.

Also, give some focus on the evil organizations being exposed/weakened/arrested, etc.,

>>30851918
That's not even a pokemon game, that's bad Ace Attorney. Looker is boring and annoying.

>>30851885
If you make the effect of gym badges regional, those level 100 pokemons won't obey in the new region.

>>30851885
Just do >>30850888 or >>30850907

>>30851597
Sounds good
Getting to fight each one of them would be a good addition too
i bet Rowan is gonna be super tough

Couple different ways possible I can think of:
1) Revamp level system so each level matters more, and you're ending kanto at 20, johto at 30, Hoenn at 50, etc

2) Find a way to make the player leave their pokemon from the first region in that region and start over like Ash, then pick the best of the best for the final elite four run. Maybe let you use any pokemon you have in a region once you clear it

3) Find a way to realistically delevel you pokemon. I.E. Your team of Charizard, Mewtwo, Snorlax persists into johto, but they are level 5 now, but still fully evolved. Probably not a good choice, now that I've typed it up.

I think I like option 2 the best.

anything i'm missing

>>30850787
You choose which region you start in, and all the others are postgame with levels that scale based on the order you visit them in. If you save Unova for last, you get very high leveled wild Audinos.

>>30851962
>That's not even a pokemon game,

>Snap
>Pinball
>both Puzzle Leagues
>Pokemon Channel
>Pokepark
>Pokemon Dash
>Ranger

You act like the series has never done a genre shifting sidegame before.

Remove levels entirely, replace them with easily attainable ranks where your Pokemon will reach max potential in 5-6 hours of training, and being a lower rank doesn't make you useless but instead slightly limits your move options.
Basically make base stats the default, natures modify them by +10% and EVs work just as usual (and are thus the only remaining long-term "grinding" left in the game).

Think outside the box and it works.

>>30852656
Expanding on this.

>20 ranks, you move through them with battle experience, but you get them pretty fast
>base stats are static, not affected by rank
>every rank will give you a level-up move, there can even be a choice between two moves in key ranks (every 5, maybe), giving more customization for each Pokemon you train

And that's how you solve the level curve issue, revamp levels and separate them from base stats so "lower leveled" Pokemon aren't literally useless, and it's all about gaining new moves. You could still have easy world areas and hard world areas, but you wouldn't be completely locked out from the hard ones right off the bat, you'd just need to get good moves and teams to take them on.

>>30851977
That wouldn't work anyway if those pokemon originally belonged to you.

You pick a region at the beginning to play through and the rest are post game only

>You have the leave your team when you progress to the other region and you can get them back at the end of the game.

There, it's fixed.
It'll never happen, though. They are already lazy when they create a game for one region, do you really think they'd do +7 regions in a game?

>>30852495
>Zygarde still has no relevance in the main story
Still hurts

You are the champion of your region.
Each region has one champion.
You are trying to become world champion.
Level now goes to 200.

>>30852998
Yes it would, they just have to make something unflag the values created by the gym badges. It's damn easy too

>>30855880
and get rid of the starter/hatchling can reach any level without disobeying thing

>>30852777
I like it
and pokemon would evolve like this:
1 stage: self explanatory
2 stage: evolve at rank 10
3 stage: evolve at rank 5, then rank 10
only problem is getting gamefreak to put in effort

>>30856079
2 geeky don't like it bye

>>30850787

You only visit the port town of each region.

you have pokemon from past regions are locked in the PC until you beat the game

Split the release into two games. 4 regions per game.

Level caps for each region.
55 for the first region,
65 for second region
80 then
100 for the last region.

Completely ditch the rpg mechanics. Make it a first person shooter.

>>30850787
At some point (probably sinnoh), make the trainers smart like in the battle tree

Just make it so you have to leave your team behind everytime you go into a new region.

You can excuse this in-universe by saying the Pokemon League puts this rule in place for everyone who wants to start another adventure.

There should be a game that lets the player take limited tours of different regions stemming from the main game. If stars is a thing, being able to visit Kanto to see Lily or Hoenn to participate in the Battle Frontier might be cool.
