What new game ideas do you hope gamefreak will try next?

Just because current mmos are slopfests who have no clue what the fuck to do doesnt mean the genre is dead
A pokemon MMO could take off massively, it already has the fanbase pretty much locked in

doesn't mean the genre is dead

Pic related, but fine: elevator-pitch me your "I have to clue about what the fuck to do".
Normal mode: it has to actually be economically and technically viable.

anticheat that digitally signs and encrypts every item obtained in the game

pokemon keep their current base stats

pokemon with lower base stat totals get more EV allocation, letting them be more customizable and versatile, but overal still weaker

combat functions more or less like FFXIV blue mage

depending on what you're fighting, you want either a physical tank, a special tank, a mix of both, or just straight up both

no gear, stats work fully off of base stats and EVs, held items still exist

raids give legendaries and are there mostly for hardcore players to show off

casual content like contests, underground etc.

start off with a small amount of available pokemon, every expansion adds more

every expansion adds a new region with its own little storyline to follow with evil teams and what not

caves and forests are dungeons that must be completed as part of the story, pokemon inside can be freely captured after initial completion

Not sure how this would match up technically or economically, its an mmo, add a subscription to fund it, the technically side sounds far less impressive than what other mmos have already done, so it shouldnt be unrealistic

I miss Hal

Why do that when they can be lazy and rake in millions anyways?

>pokemon with lower base stat totals get more EV allocation, letting them be more customizable and versatile, but overal still weaker

And that's where your mmo dies because you're trying to overbalance everything. Shit games designed by subhuman faggots.

Sexo

no, everything except legendaries and pseudo legendaris should be obselete and unusable

This is exactly why wow is now unplayable, because nothing except the luky winners of the spec rebalance lottery gets to play the game

Yeah. I want to be able to queue a bg, charge in and bladestorm with my shadowmourne and the rest of my bis pve offset armp gear.

how about something that isnt bad

That would require good backend infrastructure, which goyfreak isn't capable of doing. Retarded niggers let every single game die day one because you don't even have to play it, just pkhex everything bro.

balance shit only sweatards care about

balance shit only sweatards care about

Not doing great on the "avoiding the mistake that killed the genre" for now

tranny MMO

Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt on that one and assume it's good gameplay

holy trinity trying to get a foot in the door

Meh

balance shit only sweatards care about

99.9% can't get the most wanted 'mons

Not doing great on the "avoiding the mistake that killed the genre" for now (Bis)

casual content like contests, underground etc.

Meh. Casuals still want pokémon battles first and foremost, you won't make them happy with side attraction as consolation prize

Dexit cranked to 11

That will go well.

Generic but at least it work

Generic but at least it work

That would be a truly mid and unimaginative MMO, entirely carried by the IP.

I think people don't realize Pokémon is already GF doing their best and putting maximum effort.
They are genuily *that* abysmal as a game studio.

Dont you have some biggots to beat mrs charr?

/thread it's that easy, but Game Freak are retarded so that's not happening

Holy KEK

everything should be unbalanced and half the content should be completely irrelevant

Uhuh, worked great for wow

99% cant get rewards for putting in effort

Yeah they should be in game shop content instead

dexit

How are you gonna sell them expansions?
So how are you gonna fit 1000 pokemon, complete with animations, in a base game?
What was that about technical viability?

I don't really care for Pokémon, I've only played Y and Omega Ruby. I would say that I hope Game Freak does a Pokémon raising simulator where you take care of an egg, have it hatch, and then take care of your Pokémon until the two of you are partners for life. No fighting involved, just getting to know them.

No pokefag ever elaborates on what that means.

tranny simulator called showdown

Self inflicted problem. They *could* make better games, but they are content with what they put out.

Pokémon Hgame.

Just ducking do it already

Sorry, I'm not up to date on e-celeb lore.

Hey boss, fuck what anon said, that’s way too much work. So here’s my idea for a Pokemon MMO:

*snorts cocaine*

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon WoW Clone, with the classes being the Pokemon that sell the most merchandise! And I know what you’re thinking: isn’t it going to be a bitch to have like, 12 specs for Eeveelutions? That’s the beauty of it, just do tank/heal/dps spec for Flareon/Vaporeon/Jolteon and sell the evolutions outside of the original ones as cosmetics in the cash shop! All you’d need to do is change the color of the attacks and that’s $10 a pop!

gamefreak

they haven't tried anything new in a couple of decades

/thread.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?

Preferably something that isn't a buggy mess that looks like it was made for the N64, with features from previously games needlessly removed.

the same day 1 glitches no one cares about anymore

SV is three years old.

giant delibird was traumatizing

muh visual bugs and glitches

So a good game is just a polished turd or something? Pokeniggers shouldn't be allowed to speak.

Dating system.

I hope that TCPi gives Genius Sonority another crack at a 3D, battle focused, pokemon game that keeps gamefreak at a distance.

think about it for more than 10seconds and figure yourself that a Pokemon MMO is dumb in the current year. There is no more money to be made unless implement some really scummy monetization, or are you seriously asking for some shit like they did with the Pokemon Moba.

What do people even do once they have a team of lvl 100 Pokemon which people will reach in a few days unless you implement an energy system or heavily nerf exp grind?
Interest in pvp is heavily overstated. People will min-max shit to no end and without cheating stats, the average player just can go and trash their team against the sweaty autist playing the game.

Since the audience for Pokemon games are technically children this would become groomers new favorite game.

worked great for wow

Testudo worked great for the Roman Empire, wouldn't do much shit on the Ukraine frontline. Shit that used to fly don't anymore.
Also lmao @ using WoW as your example of a well-balanced MMO with no irrelevant content.

cash shop is the only alternative to locking the shit all pokéfan kids will want behind walls they will never be able to beat

Oh. You are a genuine big vidya company executive. My bad.

Genuine improvement.
Funded.

they will make a pokemon shooter and then sue all shooter games for having guns

WoW as your example of a well-balanced MMO with no irrelevant content

Anon are you genuinely retarded?
Do I need to add r/sarcasm to it so you understand the post better?

cash shop

You really didn't get it, did you?
Jesus christ

And the game is still so poorly optimized, speed trannies have to plan their routes around how fast the console will starting struggling from memory leaks and plan console reboots accordingly.

shouldn't be allowed to breath

fixed

The last point ill give you, but the leveling bit is easily mitigated, the only reason its so easy to have loads of alts in mmos is because of boosted xp or other methods of quickly catching up, problem is, you have a team of atleast 6 mons, possibly more, and with every expansion you'd get even more.
You'd have a lot of leveling to do, you try grinding mons to 100 in the games right now without an xp share.

As for monetization, cosmetic shit is pretty much standard nowadays, seems to work fine without being too invasive, itll be no more scummy than what fortnite does and that seems to be doing fine

I like this dog cow thing

MMOs usually increase level cap with every major expansion, shifting the endgame in the progress.
Sure you could do the same but this would mean reworking the whole system, deviating from what GF has been building on for decades.

What would be the point to new Pokemon unless you powercreep them. Even if you like a new Pokemon and want to include it, you wouldn't `train them`, just switch them out against high level Pokemon and quickly grind them to like level 50 in a fraction of the time. Exp share is just more convenient.

Current mmos dont let you do this either, even if you somehow kill a lvl 100 mob as a lvl 1, you dont instantly level up 10 times, because the game recognizes you should be able to kill it and penalizes/caps the xp gain, its not that hard and will essentially force to player to level their pokemon themselves instead of having a high level mon boost the low level ones
As for powercreep, the games did that already, but competitive shows that even pokemon will subpar stats can thrive on niches, as an example, you could have a legendary boss fight with enough coverage to destroy popular defensive pokemon, which in turn allows a less popular one to shine based on its type or ability.
What if a boss mass poisons? you could have something with a secondary poison or steel type to soak that without everyone dropping like flies.
The typing in particular could open up lots of possibilities for otherwise inferior pokemon to shine in certain encounters

Play as a human boy trying to survive in a forest filled with feral female pokemons in heat

It's a cat cow.

boss puts down a puddle(earth power)

puddle has to be soaked to not explode and do damage to everyone

Any other mmo would probably put a tank in there, but what if your tank is a physically defensive steel type?
He would eat shit and die
Instead you put your moderately special bulky grass type, probably a healer of sorts, in there who can stomach the hit.
