Pokemon Letter part 6
colour, eye colour, and height. This may allow players to create characters like themselves for greater immersion. The amount of customisation in Pokemon Battle Revolution was good, but I do not expect it to be possible to allow age customisation since it may affect the character’s origin too much.
Another topic which is hotly discussed is the strong desire for a serious console RPG with deep themes for older players much like those present in Pokemon Platinum. Perhaps you could delve deeper into pokemon history or lore. Pokemon is a role-playing game, and there is absolutely no reason why it cannot become as grand and amazing as the Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy. As far as I am concerned, the pokemon games are a deep mine of largely untapped potential. I want to see it grow into one of the gaming world’s most important franchises.
Many people have wondered why there have been no more console pokemon RPGs since Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness were so successful. It would be a wonderful idea to have older players and deeper, more dynamic characters and villains. After all, most characters in the pokemon world are one-dimensional.
One idea that continually returns is a desire for a console game spanning the entire pokemon world. A simple title for this could actually be Pokemon World. My thoughts on this are to have a multi-parted story spanning over many games. The main hand-held games could serve as part of each region’s history. A new hero could rise to move through a new pokemon legend affecting all of the regions we have explored so far. I feel it may be a good idea to use Cyrus as a returning villain from the Sinnoh region. After all, with his final words in Pokemon Platinum, he did vow the main character would one day awaken to find themselves in a world of Cyrus’ creation. That was a chilling prophecy—and a great premise for a future game. Might it also be possible to have a multi-player RPG?
