Could it work?
Could it work?
Chase Myers
Ethan Stewart
Not really.
Gavin Rodriguez
I don't think Pokemon needs to be a giant Elder Scrolls/BotW deal but I suppose you could increase the scope to some extent, yes.
Ryder Morales
yeah, but the japanese can't make open world games
Lincoln Lee
>seeing ho oh
That doesn't show up in front of everyone.
Wyatt Bell
no, it's supposed to be something that runs on gameboy. otherwise it doesn't feel right.
Tyler Foster
Absolutely, but only if Monolith Soft is doing it, and if it's a full blown spinoff. Mainline should stay mainline.
Jaxon James
Not on the Switch.
Andrew Collins
Didn't hooh show up in the very first Pokemon episode
Kevin Gonzalez
A big part of Pokémon is feeling like you’re going on a big journey. How is that possible in an open world game where the map can be crossed in a few minutes? In many ways open world is the opposite of a big adventure because you know it’s world can be so quickly crossed
Luke Perez
only to the protagonist and to pikachu, it's not supposed to happen to everyone.
Adam Ross
>In many ways open world is the opposite of a big adventure because you know it’s world can be so quickly crossed
what
Aiden Taylor
No, you stupid fucking retard. There are many good ideas for pokemon spin offs, and an MMO/Open World Pokemon is not one of them.
Evan Foster
Warframe is not open world
Camden Russell
Yes, but Game Freak is lazy.
Aiden Phillips
I get what he means
>big open sandbox wold
>everywhere is immediately open to you
>can run through the entire map and go everywhere in maybe an hour or 2 if you dodge enemies
>storyline driven game
>final areas usually feel more unironically “epic” due to not being to access them for 50+ hours
Samuel Jones
If they keep the same turn based battle mechanics there’s absolutely no reason to do this
Samuel Watson
Then create hubs you cant progress to until you have fucked about in the open world enough.
Also having certain areas accessable but have higher level enemies helps.
Oliver Turner
>OPEN-WORLD KANTOOOOO YASSSSSSSS
redditors and normalfags who started gaming last generation won't be satisfied until every single-player game is an ubishit/skyrim clone.
Charles Powell
That picture has a ho oh flying in it like it's scripted or in a cycle, so it's even worse.
Chase Campbell
ho-oh is only there because it's an obvious reference to the first episode of the KANTOOOOO anime.
Gabriel Brooks
But that's dumb because it's supposed to be a rare occurrence where the person who sees it is granted eternal happiness. It's work in the anime but not the game. In the game you should only see it when you're about to catch it.
Wyatt Myers
you could easily curb this by putting high level Rocket barricades that fight you on sight
you can still flee (distinction between friendly and "evil" battles) but you can't get past them
you're all thinking of open world like BotW or Skyrim where you can climb or glide over anything
lock areas intelligently behind HMs or just high level trainers and it could easily work
Easton Clark
That works. I unironically was thinking BoTW when I made that post
Christopher Long
>the person who sees it is granted eternal happiness
>ash sees it and proceeds to lose every league he competes in for 20+ years
what did they mean by this?
Isaiah Adams
Happiness, not contentment.
Hudson Roberts
Just play Crystal Clear if you want open world Pokemon. Gamefreak is just going to continue to pump out the same formula with even more hallways and tutorials for years to come.
Asher Nelson
>he doesn't know what true happiness is
>going on an adventure with best friends and having fun every step of the way
you'll never see ho-oh
Levi Russell
>Nintendo
>Game freaks
>Pokemon company
>Putting effort into literally anything
Shut up, you'll buy it regardless.
Brayden Bailey

Dylan Fisher
>Menushituiendlesstutorialsoft
fuck no
Luis James
it's just a mockup, user. calm the fuck down.
Noah Butler
What's the actual difference aside from Pokemon in the overworld?
If it's still just collecting badges and turn based combat, it can go fuck itself
Matthew Lewis
It's bizarre how kino Pokemon becomes when literally any other company gets license to make a game with it. Look at Mystery Dungeon, Pokken Tournament, Pokemon Masters, Detective Pikachu.
I hope Tajiri and Masuda finally get tired of Pokemon and outsource a core Pokemon game so they can work on Hometown Hero or whatever the fuck their pet project is, and then they get BTFO by whoever picks it up.
Asher Phillips
>what's the actual difference
SOUL, that's what
Aiden Carter
exploran. craftan. farman. breedan. make your own gyman.
Mason Bailey
As long as it's not open world
Joseph Parker
both are graphically trash so why not
William Cook
That's the dream though
Dominic Stewart
>Exploran
Fair.
>Craftan
Pointless fluff, there's no functional difference between getting material to make a potion and just finding one in the overworld.
>Farman
Already in every Pokemon game with berries in it
>Breedan
Already in every game since GSC
>Own gyman
What does that have to do with open world?
Pokemon's problem isn't that the world is restrictive, it's that the gameplay is tepid and unfun. Swoosh is going to give you much more freedom of movement but looks as shallow as every game that came before it.
