Pokémon StoneGrey

[sadcatto]

Pokémon StoneGrey is a personal upcoming project of mine. I'm yet to start the actual game, but I've got some ideas.

For one, the choices for starter Pokémon are expanded greatly. There's still the fire-grass-water-blah blah blah. However, there's also other types available. Each starter is a pure-type Pokémon, at least for its first form.

The team is a morally grey one. Team Bio (to be renamed) is a scientific organization. However, they take part in illegal activities, ranging from the sale of outlawed items to the use of Pokémon to an unethical extent. At the same time, though, they bring progress to the region, and in turn, power.

The player has two rivals. One is the player's sister, a kind young woman who sets her sights high. The other is a young man from the player's hometown. He is greedy and cares little for humans or Pokémon.

The Pokémon League follows the pretty much the same pattern as every region's: eight Gym Leaders (maybe more), the Elite Four, and the Pokémon Champion.

If anyone has some sort of feedback, that would be quite nice. Thanks for reading!

What you've said of the plot sounds interesting but it isn't really detailed enough for feedback yet. As you come up with more detail (while developing most likely) I'll try to give some feeback.

Much appreciated. Like I said, it's only the very beginning.

I think team dynamic is a big part of the story.

Like what is Team Bio's goals in relation to the player? To the rest of the region? Gen 2's Rocket is a very weak team IMO(the worst in fact) because they have relatively little connection with the player, just sort of being stopped time and again by circumstance. In fact your rival had bigger reason to deal with Rocket than you did. Hopefully you can avoid that mistake.

Also character designs are a big one too.A lot of fangames with regards to gym leaders just say, put blonde hair on a electric gym leader and make them peppy, which is lame. How does each type correlate with the leader themselves? I find that adds a lot to them , like Charlotte's connection with fire is very well done as it's intertwined with her backstory and character, really making her typing fell fitting and sensible.

Everything you've said is excellent advice, thank you. I'll take it all into account.
