New Pokemon RP Idea

[Kaiser]

So I've been thinking on bringing life back to an old Pokemon story I worked on a few years ago, the Broskii Region RP. As some of you might remember... or not, I did this RP on VDex with a system closer to the games and well, it didn't work too wel, So I thought on doing it closer to how the Kanto RPs in which we all have taken part on worked. But I decided to give it a different setting for the beggining. So here is a bit of explanation:

Broskii is a region where you can find every single pokemon species and their variations* and trainers start their journey at age 18, at least, with a pokemon starter of their choosing (still have three choices to pick from but are based on each individual trainer's personality, pretty much like how Kanto worked).

What is different here? Well, for starters, your character must at least be 18 yp, meaning you can go from 18-100 if you want, also you can find every pokemon there is and will be (assuming this spans for generations to come), but more importantly we have pokemon variations, based upon the area's pokemon live (so no, they are not special shinies, we stll have shinies here, only I'm adding variations as I found them a really appealing theme to add to the RP), so i.e. not every Noctowl you find is the same coloring as the others, maybe a Noctowl found on the "grass" is your generic Noctowl from the games and anime, but a Noctowl you find in a snowy area will have its feathers of a more suitable white cloring and its appearance might differ from the first mentiones ones, maybe longer talons, shorter eyebrows?, etc. Of course, this might bring down sides, lke a Noctowl of snowy lands might be weaker to fire attacks than other Noctowls are, but more resistant to Ice and Water attacks. Here is a video explaining what pokemon variations are so you understand it better:



So what do you guys think? Does the idea look appealing to you? Would you be interested in joining this RP?

I think this is a neat idea to implement. Gives the Pokemon an environmental variation.

I just worry that it's too unmanageable. But if you're willing to figure out specifics and control your own RP again, Kaiser, I support you and would likely be interested in joining. I just don't think it's what I'm looking for in my own RP at this time.

I like the idea but I feel with there being so many possibilities for variants and a lot of them ending up more like fusions they will become unmanageable like mdf said.
I do want to try another pokemon rp but I think for my own tastes the simpler the better, at least until we regain activity.

Manta, I think this kind of reply belongs more for the General RP Idea Thread. This thread was created for Kaiser's specific idea. No need to move it, just a notice for the future. And if you post it there as well, it's more likely that someone who already saw this thread and potentially felt uninterested will see this, considering it's completely unrelated from Kaiser's idea.

Sorry, got this one confused with the other one

[mdf2711]

It's fine, friend. Thank you for understanding and I completely see how you could have been confused by the multiple idea threads.

Sorry for not replying sooner, been busy with projects and stuff...

Thanks I appreciate your support

As for the others, I understand how the possibilities of many, and I mean MANY variations could be overwhelming, specially if I go the way I want to. So, to keep things simplier and still being able to implement the variations in order to keep people interested in the RP and have it being different enough fron the others, I'd be going with a more macro-focused variation, for example, instead of having a specific variation for each type of forest, or each type of mountain, I'd go with a variation to be representative of those potentially hundred o forests/mountains. So instead of having a different Caterpie variation for Viridian Forest, Eterna Forest, Petalburg Woods, etc. we'd be having a Forest variation for Caterpie which could be found in any of those forests, this way things would still be different to the other RPs and simple enough to not become overwhelmed with new (and possibly made up) information.

But I'd still like to hear what you guys think about it before moving forward with this.

Doesn't seem like people is interested in this new variation I wanted... maybe you guys would be interested if we keep it with regular pokemon but still in this different area?
