Okay, shoot me later but i wrote three paged for a damned game idea that i had to write and was thinking about all day because i got interested in teh subject and please just read the thing?
Instead of starting out at ten, you start out at like thirteen, and have been an orphan all your life, running from evil abusive foster parents (or something else, possibly worse). You walk out of the back of a truck (like in R/S/E) in the middle of the night (yay for night/day function!!) and trip over something, a Pokeball. You pick it up and throw it on the ground, but are disappointed when nothing pops out. You already have a few Pokémon related items besides the pokeball: an old rod, two potions, and a very worn out backpack, that you've had since you can remember.
The city, you have stowed away in the truck to get to, has three directions branching off of it. To the west there is a grassy field, to the east there is the ocean, and to the north there is a mountain. It’s obvious how you get your Pokémon from that. You can’t go all the way into the areas, there’s someone who’ll stop you (like in all the games) before you can go too far, and the first Pokémon you run into in that region will be one of the starters.
Mountain for fire, grassy field for grass, ocean for water (To get the water type you’ll have to use the rod, there are instructions at the beginning of the game that tell you to do that stuff.) You can’t battle the Pokémon because you don’t have any so you just throw the pokeball at it, it’s an automatic catch (you will not see the starters in those areas again unless you have the pokedex entries for them). Soon after you have to go to the Pokémon centre (unless you want to be teleported there because your Pokémon feinted) and get your Pokémon healed (nurse joy will also ask you if you could fix the clock “It’s been stopped all day!” and I are too much of a bimbo to fix it ).
There is an odd woman standing off to the side, but you get to that later (if you talk to her she just mumbles something incomprehensible). After your Pokémon is healed you walk outside and a thief, who has the opposite starter type Pokémon from yours (we’ll get to evil teams later if you don’t mind, k?) walks into you, and challenges you to a battle. It doesn’t matter if you win or loose, because as soon as you win or loose the battle Professor Sassafras (yeah, remember the weird mumbling woman, well, that’s her) is standing there and has been watching you the whole time. She drags you behind her, with just a simple “Fallow me”, to her lab, where she examines the Pokémon you caught, asks what your name is, and gives you a pokedex and trainer card/license thingy with very little question of who you are and why you have a Pokémon without a license.
You start a simple quest to find your real parents, but soon it changes to a full blown adventure where your rival (the thief guy from before) tries to steal Pokémon and does crack, evil team tries to take over the world and kill people with guns and forks and arsenic and an assortment of other nasty devices, there’s a hospital where people are dying slow painful deaths from cancer, Pokémon actually DIE (omg it’s the most forbidden Pokémon thing in the games besides sex!!) The day care people KNOW where the eggs are coming from (but they won’t tell you), you and your Pokémon actually need to eat, sleep is essential (but you don’t need as much), you can make a camp (mmmmm smmooorreesss), your character actually has b-days and grows and stuff and most importantly, after you defeat the elite four and the champion, you can choose to:
A. Run team evil
B. Become the champion
C. Live life as a normal trainer
D. Become a gym leader
If you choose A you learn that your parents are the former leader of team evil and some random admin.
If you choose B you learn that your parents are the former champion and one of the elite four
If you choose C you learn that your parents are Professor Sassafras and a random, but kind of important NPC.
If you choose D you never really learn who your parents are but have a great life and keep getting calls from some guy named Alfred.
For each letter there’s a different post game adventure, where at the end you can (but only if you want, you really can be the leader of team evil forever if you want) choose one of the letters you didn’t before until you’ve exhausted all possibilities. (once you’ve chosen though you have to keep the parental situation)
Evil team leader: you take over the world and all humans must bow down to you Muhahahahaha! (okay mooommm I’ll come home for supper!) And you can do and go where ever you want.
Champion: You basically do what a trainer would but you are called to have battles with people every now and then, (yes, I know you love me, so could you stop stalking me now?) and every where you go people recognize your fame.
Normal Trainer: you are a normal trainer, who has parents and is moderately famous. (There’s really nothing embarrassing that I could think of to put here so just imagine that there’s some random elevator music playing)
Gym leader: Same thing as champion but you get called more often, can decide what kind of gym you want, get to set up all the puzzles, and can choose how many people are battled before you.(Phone rings: Gym leader: “Hello, leader of a random gym speaking.” Alfred: “Err, hi, I wanted to tell you something…….” Hangs up. Gym leader: “Why the hell does that guy keep calling ME!”?)
Okay, you can shoot me now, because this probably wouldn't ever work unless it was rated R.
