>make it extremely hard, yet possible, to steal other in-game trainers' Pokémon. if you do, be prepared to get your Pokémon stolen

>being part of the team could increase/decrease the chances of police officers finding out. your Pokémon are also less likely to get stolen because most of the characters who would steal them from you are part of the team

Gamefreak trying this hard.
>>
it would be nice if trainers had more than 1 pokemon sun and moon were fucking awful for this
Maybe have a few less trainers but make them have like 4-6 pokemon or something
>>
>>32134140
didn't you post this same shit yesterday?

Yes, I did. You just gave me an idea. I'll post it every day until GameFreak does it.

>>32136946
BW did this nicely, where low tier trainers started with 1-2 and it ramped up to high tier trainers with 4-6 pokemon all over the postgame.

How come Mario and Zelda are doing just fine then?

So does Pokémon.

The elite 4 only had 4 pokemon teams in BW. I hated that.

mario gets games every year
zelda isn't comparable to pokemon because it didn't change from yearly releases to having long ass breaks and it doesn't have an online community+meta+tournaments and shit
>>
>>32138133
>elite 4
>postgame
the other anon obviously meant the trainers in the areas that only become accessible after the Elite 4

>mario gets games every year
I said main mario games. We haven't seen one since 2013, or worse, 2010, if you consider 3D Land/World and the NSMB games to not be main games. It gets new games every year, but they're just spinoffs. And even then, you have the Mario Kart sub-series that gets 1 game on each console and that's it. Also, SSB.
>community+meta+tournaments
Patches have been a thing for a while.

>every year
Super Mario Bros.: 1985 (Japan, America), 1987 (Europe, Australia)

Super Mario Bros. 3: 1988 (Japan), 1990 (America), 1991 (Europe)
Super Mario World: 1990 (Japan), 1991 (America), 1992 (Europe, Australia)
Super Mario 64: 1996 (Japan), 1997 (Europe, Australia)
Super Mario Sunshine: 2002
New Super Mario Bros.: 2006
Super Mario Galaxy: 2007
New Super Mario Bros. Wii: 2009

New Super Mario Bros. 2: 2012
New Super Mario Bros. U: 2012
Super Mario 3D World: 2013
Super Mario Odyssey: 2017
And I've been generous by actually including the NSMB games and 3D Land/World.
>>
>>32138244
yeah so you patch the same game for 6 years? the game dies out in 2 years most if no new pokemon/moves are made
and what spinoffs does pokemon have that are comparable to stuff like mario kart, maker, party? hard mode: no phone "games"
>>32138329
how is that generous lmao
>>
>>32138149
>mario gets games every year
Anon you'd be lucky to get two mainline Mario games per console let alone every year.
>>
>>32138341
>and what spinoffs does pokemon have that are comparable to stuff like mario kart, maker, party?
It used to have the card videogames, Pinball, Poképark, Ranger and the GC games. Now it still has PMD, Rumble and I guess they aren't dropping the Detective Pikachu thing.
>hard mode: no phone "games"
I don't like them either, but if someone is so autistic to need a new game every year they'll definitely be fine with them.
>how is that generous lmao
Nobody ever considers the GB games to be main games and NSMB is on the same level. 3D Land/World was just an attempt at making 3D NSMB that failed with the WiiU and didn't take its place as the new main Mario series.

>and NSMB is on the same level. 3D Land/World was just an attempt at making 3D NSMB that failed with the WiiU and didn't take its place as the new main Mario series.
Okay not him but you'd have to be retarded not to consider NSMB and the 3D games mainline.
>>
>>32138389
NSMB games are on the same level as the same level as the Land games and 3D Land/World are literally just NSMB. Most people count them as main games, which is why I included them, but if NSMB wasn't as successful as it was and the WiiU got a 64 or Galaxy style 3D Mario nobody would actually think they are main games. I can even see 3D Land and World slowly fading away from people's mind if Nintendo doesn't bring that style back.

I like this apart from the box being everywhere thing and the stealing thing. Also pokeride should work like hms. But apart from that yes yes yes to the rest. Maybe side games- harvest moon elements, maybe customisable house. Basically what alola should have been but wasn't :(
