Pokémon Mountain Green/Ocean Grey
So for a while now I've thought on and off about how I would create my own paired Pokémon games, my own Generation if you will. Where it would be, what the Pokémon would be like, what the Gyms would be etc etc. I imagine that many people hare have done the same.
Having just had a short conversation with Connor about some of my ideas we had fun and I thought I'd make an actual thread about it. This is partially for my own enjoyment, as I really like doing stuff like this. However, I figure that with so many amazing artists around and with some game designers and programmers thrown in to the mix it could potentially yield some cool fanart or silly role plays. It could maybe spawn a full on hack game if there are some people here who know how to get that done, and while I don't want to encourage illegality, that would be sweet. I'll elaborate below but for a flavour... The region I've dimly been considering would be called Albion and would essentially be England, Scotland and Wales rolled in to one. Quite a rural esque feel, with a lot of evidence of industry in the cities but really small villages and stuff and with a giant London that had an Underground. The starters will end up as a part Dragon Trio, with a lot of birds and mammals on land and a lot of cool fish and sea monsters in the copious waters. I've thought of one or two GLs, including a pirate themed Cornish Water Gym and a Dark Gym in Norwich (Simba... you must never go there). I have no idea what the evil theme will be but I do know that I want minimalist legends, none of this space and time stuff. Also, I'd be aiming for 100 entirely new Pokémon, with another 51 Pokémon for nostalgia's sake and with maybe a dozen Pokémon which are related to previous evolutions. I lack the skill to enter UPC myself but maybe some people will see a way to feed their own ideas in to my ego massaging or take something from here and make it in to their own thing. Feel free to do so! I'll post a couple of placeholders below and am just gonna start writing stuff up at my leisure but if anyone thinks of any cool British Pokémon ideas just throw them in and we'll see what happens! (Feel free to ignore me this is definitely a bit of self indulgence on my part lol) Last edited by Mercutio; 08-17-2014 at 05:06 AM. |

Weather: Perma-Rain
NPCs: Pressing A to talk to any NPCs results in the same type of message every time. "Who are you? Why are you talking to me? Mind your own business. Sod off."

I really cannot come up with ideas, but if you want to make a hack, I can do it. Also as long as other people that can do so are around. I'm too lazy and would take years.

Maybe add a Cornish pixie or leprechaun-based Fairy, since British folklore is quite rich with those type of creatures. And maybe one of the Legend locations would be near Stonehenge, perhaps a Wyvern?

Yeah there will be rain, the original joke was that there were Pidove everywhere and they all had Drizzle.
Sounds good, Machamp, maybe one day we can be trillionaires! Yeah I mentioned the pixie I've a vague idea about, Fairy/Flying and all claws and malice. Good call! |

You can also have a Ghost/Fairy based on Hinkypunks or sprites. Furthermore, maybe have a Legendary or Fossil Pokemon in Loch Ness. A Dragon-type, perhaps. A Pokemon based off British Hedgehogs or Shrews might also be nice.

So London is completely underground? Or a small portion is above ground while most of the stuff/plot happens below ground. Either way it sounds sweet.
Also there should be like a fighting gym with football themed mazes, that'd be cool. Added bonus for Fairy Gym being a pub because I'm laughing from the sheer thought of it.

No I mean London would have a metro, the London one of which is called the Underground. Because I want it to be massive but in no way do I want to be Lumiose.
Hedgehog yeah, was thinking of that earlier. I don't really know what to do for Ghost types but Nessie will definitely be a thing. And the lake will probably have wild Lapras in it as well. |

Dark type big cat legendary for the Beast of Bodmin Moor? And a Kelpie (Water Horse) legend? Those would be fairly minor legends, could also have a major Fisher King based legend. Like a legendary Castform only not stupid looking.

I don't really want to do a legendary water horse because it's vaguely similar to both Suicune and whatever the Water type musketeer is, but a Beast of Bodmin Moor is a cood idea. I considered doing a second beast trio because I feel like Britain should be full of dogs.

Alternatively, the Beast of Bodmin and Nessie could be Mega Purugly (Black/Purple rather than White/Purple and more badass looking) and Mega Lapras, having found unique mega stones in their respective locations. Mega forms being temporary evos is a good explanation for why no-one finds them when they go looking.
EDIT the first: Arthur for champion?

Yeah so the Elite Four is either going to be led by Winston or Arthur. I'm thinking a Fire, Grass, Water and Electric quad (all with five pokémon incidentally) and then a Champion packing some heavy duty stuff.

Sherlock actually works quite with the vague plan that I have to have the Doctor and James Bond turn up and take out the evil team's plan to steal the Crown Jewels.

Team Evil is obviously going to be from Kalos.

if you're going with dogs and Sherlock references, something fashioned after the Hound of the Baskervilles would make us all love the game.

The thing is that while I want to have lots of canines in this, I feel like Pokémon is saturated. So what I'd be more likely to do is just create Mega Arcanine, Mega Stoutland etc. Sadly despite my personal distaste for Mega Evolution I can't really get away with not if I want other people to get excited.
Mega Arcanine being Fire Fighting just to piss everyone off, obviously. More seriously I would Mega up all of the Johto Starters, they definitely need the help. |

With the hedgehog idea, maybe avoid making the line Poison (too obvious) or Ground (Sandslash). I was thinking maybe Normal for the Basic stage and then evolves into either Normal/Dark or Normal/Fighting. Normal would give the hedgehog access to weird moves, and the secondary typing would make more thematic sense. I also second Concept's suggestion of Kelpies. In terms of Grass Pokemon, you could maybe base one off the Poppy, a great WWI icon and a symbol of Essex. And another Pokemon based off Daffodils, maybe using the Narcissus myth for inspiration. Also, Thistles in Scotland please. Thistles are very Scottish. |
