An open world Pokemon game could be pretty fun. I definitely think it should take notes from Xenoblade. Pokemon spawn on the overworld and you can run away, or get caught in a battle if they get too close. Have the odd higher level Pokemon pop up in an area, but make the, easy to avoid. As you level up, higher level Pokemon will spawn. Have an item you can use to respawn lower level Pokemon for a while if you need, or maybe they'll still spawn, but they won't chase you.

The best feature would be adding in a whole bunch of rideable Pokemon. Rapidash, Arcanine, etc... Sometimes I just ride my Mudsdale around because I wanna ride on a big pony. Following Pokemon should also make a comeback if they go open world.

Yeah, none of my pokemon I've already trained are much use, because they're either sweepers or their gimmick is too narrow. You don't want a total wall because then you can't time things right and faint other pokemon for points, but being too fast and knocking down the competition seems to leave you vulnerable in other ways. I want that idol-style, dangit!

EDIT: I wonder if I could make a Mega Audino work.

Yo. I'm sitting on an ever growing pile of wonder trade shinies right now and I kinda need to unload. Any of you guys interested in a couple? All I can think that I want in return is a hidden ability ducklett maybe a moon ball golett. Other than that just throw whatever you want to get rid of at me.

*Obi-Wan Kenobi voice* Ducklett... Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

He's a cutie, but drat, other than 'lol swanna looks like carl from athf' it feels like he rarely appears in the games, let alone in conversations.

I'm finishing up my pokedex and I'm like 80% there. I'd like to breed a good one tho. Just needs hidden ability everything else stats etc. don't matter.

Here's a list of what I got feel free to take your pick.

Delibird called Mrs. Claus: I'm tempted to keep her cuz' she's adorable. But for the golett or the ducklett I'll give her up.

Miltank called Whitney

Machamp in a love ball

Wimpod

Exeggcute with a weird name like a url

Bidoof called Paul

Crustle

Standard Sandslash called Ruby

Nidoran w/ hidden ability in heavy ball

Shiny Gible 6 IV

Panpour w/ pokerus same weird name as Exeggcute

Krookodile

Carracosta called turtle Soup

Lickitung called Mocha

Stantler called Chartreuse

Sandile 5 IV

Elgyem

2 Swalot

Staravia

Dodrio

Xerneas would like something nice for this one just because they're hard to come by.

and a Linoone.

Yes, agreed! And I've been loving the ultra beasts for similar reasons. I was really excited when ORAS made Deoxys more widely available, mine is name Celadon.

I feel like you could make a pretty good team based around retro futurism with Elgyem/Beheeyem as the 'starter', but idk how compititively viable it'd be. Who cares? In-game team and competitive team can be totally different. Beheeyem, Magnezone, Starmie, Porygon-Z*, Araquanid, and Deoxys would probably be what I'd go for.

Not sure if Porygon2 or Porygon-Z fit the aesthetic better, but I think they both count. Porygon is probably the most retrofuturistic, though. I'd love to get a Genesect on there but I don't have one. Illumise definitely fits the aesthetic but doesn't have enough utility to nudge out one of the others. Malamar could also be a contender.

UBs have to come from another dimension so I don't think Deoxys counts. Its not the only Pokemon with celestial origins anyways.

Yeah Clefairy is an alien and Elgyem and Beheeyem are strongly implied to be given their sudden appearance. Given the animism that underlies the setting though maybe people just thought about aliens hard enough to shape Elgyem and Beheeyem. Like uuuuh... Voltorb and Klink also suddenly appeared, so there's a basis for that.

Weirdly I think that would make the original UB Unown.

Sweet picture, by the way!

Giratina probably should count as an Ultra Beast since the Distortion World is incredibly similar the Ultra Wormhole phenomenon.

You might also be able to make an argument for Palkia/Dialga/Arceus under that logic as well. And Porygon-Z was modified specifically to explore other dimensions and got twisted by them.

Oh my god I've made almost that exact team. I started adding UB's in since they're pretty alien themselves. Celesteela makes an awesome rocket ship.

porygon is extremely retro-future, it looks like it could be a ff7 model

it is also one of my favorite designs nowadays specifically for how outdated it looks

I think this line is mostly filler.
So, I'm a bit late to the party having just got UM for early holiday nonsense, but I picked up an Araquanid to run with though the story and holy crap you guys weren't lying when you were saying he's a beast through the storyline. This horrible spider monster is quickly becoming a new favourite, and I probably wouldn't have looked at him twice if it weren't for this thread. I really like being surprised by mons that I didn't expect to be.

Careful or Impish are good. Also Relaxed. You want things that will emphasize her defenses. Although Cele has an enormous amount of utility there's a lot of things to do with her besides tank. I got super lucky during my run and caught a careful Celesteela, a naive Pheromosa, and a modest Nihilego. Timid would've been better but I'll take it.

hack your 3DS, do the mew trick on virtual console RBY (with some extra parameters for bank to consider it legal), wait for a Mew event to come around, or trade with someone who has done one of those things
