Story Brainstorm

[Deleted]

Perhaps the story line could be that Zarel (the protagonist) is figuring out what to do now that Pokemon has died out and no one goes on Showdown anymore... So he invents a Pokemon Simulator IRL and goes to the Pokemon World for realz.

I absolutely love that idea! Maybe a few of Zarel's acquaintances could go into the simulator with him...

y'know @snackismybae that is a pretty good idea

could be a whole different dimension or timeline

I had this idea where you're trapped in a different dimension through an accidental slip created by the Mascot Legendary where you chase the antagonist who, upon learning of your existence, hunts these "Dimensional Shards" as a way of essentially invading your dimension and you try and stop them sort of thing. These dimensional shards could also be used to create evolutions of Pokémon, suggesting that original evolution of Pokémon stemmed from animals who were exposed to these shards. In your dimension, these shards would be gone due to the world having passed its final course of becoming while in the different dimension, these shards are still reactive. The antagonist could alternatively be corrupted by them and then driven by an ambition to bring the shards to your dimension.

So if Zarel is a protag, than who is the female (I'm assuming Zarel is male, dun kill me if I'm wrong) counterpart? And who is the rival?

[Cyberknight98]

I thought Zarel was going to be the champion?

[Devoxys]

I kinda like the idea of Zarel being the protag better...

How about implementing a time trial mode! you sign up for the league and it says that you have a certain deadline before the league closes? Maybe giving the user around 25 hours to complete the eight gyms. Then it sort of follows the anime and has a tourney before you can face the e4?

[Cyberknight98]

So... what would happen if you didn't make it? You start over from the beginning? That sounds like kind of a harsh penalty...

[Leafeon]

It would sorta be like the new legend of zelda game (Technically its not new its a remastered version) I think it might be really cool to have a really serious story with time trial. It could even have its own separate story line!

[kizzo212]

I don't think a time trial is really worth it in Pokemon, as you can't explore and spend time trying to complete the Pokedex and stuff. Majora's Mask isn't one big time trial either, with the whole time resetting aspect. This means that you can still explore and do things, since whatever you unlock kinda stays unlocked after the reset, I think. Not quite sure how something like that would apply to a Pokemon game but I guess it could be interesting. If anything the time trial thing could be some sort of challenge mode, but it's easy enough to self-impose a time limit on the game.

Lets not make the story too difficult for the sake of those who implement it :s

[Simbada]

Woah. This is completely off the wall. But what if you actually played as a pokemon. In the world, pokemon are being enslaved and used for all their resources, kept without the constent of their will, but a pokemon decides to turn against this, you could choose the pokemon you wish to be. You would travel with pokemon that you find and beat, and instead of defeating them, you ask if you want them to join your party, of course you would have to leave another pokemon behind if you were add another one. And your main goal would be to liberate pokemon from enslavement. Obviously this idea won't be accepted, but it's so abstract.

catmanv is aligned with PETA confirmed.

There's a new thread for this in Plot! Locking.

Edit: To be clear, this forum will now only be used for general policy, the rest will take place in the subforums like at Pokemon.
