I think the games look fine as they are. Even with the new direction of X/Y.
Speaking of Light Platinum, I've been meaning to try that out.

 

[Juicebox]

I do really like the cell-shaded style, but I still prefer the direction X/Y is going. They are able to get more detail and I prefer the battle scenes to be more life-like.

That being said, that's a really nice hack.

 

[Hey Listen!]

Yeah I just saw this in my suggested feed today. Looks pretty fun. I just hate when games like these cant be mobile. I guess I'm jumping the gun. We've seen so little gameplay of the new games anyway. Either way I'll have to just get used to it.

When you say by "be mobile", do you just mean on a portable system?
Well you can do that, if you get an emulator for a decent phone and then go through everything to get the Romhack in place.. transfer that to your phone and you're good to go.

 

[Hey Listen!]

I would but I'm stuck with my awful Samsung Brightside... it just wants to be a smartphone, but will never make it. I really want to download Pokemon Light Platinum but I can't seem to find a download link that is working for me

 

[Prof Gallows]

Granted, I'd assume the starters are like an endangered species.

Yes! Exactly like that. Sort of the same with legendary pokemon.

True, that's a pretty good point. I've always wanted to ride on a pokemon. xD It seems really exciting to ride on the back of a giant bird.

I think it would be really exciting to ride a flying pokemon. I'd probably try and get a Golurk, can you imagine flying around on that thing?

If I could have any job, I'd totally want to travel around and just write about my journey. It would be awesome just to document the places of seen and the things that I've met. I could write about all the different Pokemon and all the crazy situations I'd get myself stuck into. In fact, this seems like a pretty cool dream without the Pokemon!

Exactly what I was thinking. Having an adventure can be amazing even without all of the over the top things.

 

[Kaiaa]

Going back on the topic, I would either own or work at a museum dedicated to pokemon history since I actually really like history. I probably would be to nervous to go on a journey with my pokemon even though it would be a dream of mine to defeat the elite four. Perhaps if I made some friends and we were around 17 or so when we began training our pokemon, I would go on the journey with them.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Now that everyone has a pretty good idea of what they'd like to do in the pokemon world, I'll move onto a different question.

Pokemon as everyday problems and pests. In the world of pokemon humans have to find a way to work with or around pokemon. Sometimes this doesn't work out too well. If you were living in the pokemon world, what do you think would be common problems caused by wild pokemon?

As an example, Electabuzz/other electric pokemon climbing onto a power cable and feeding off of the electricity, possibly causing a brownout in an area or worse, a complete blackout.


I'd also like to mention that I'm doing these questions to keep you guys entertained, and to keep the thread semi-active until some actual new information on anything pokemon related comes up.

 

[Juicebox]

I'm curious about what kind of Pokemon would appear in my town if Pokemon were real. There probably wouldn't be anything spectacular, probably just the basic Pidgey and Rattatta. I could also see there being a ton of Wingull and Murkrow because my town is infested with crows and seagulls. But I also wonder what region I'd be a part of. I'm technically closest to the Orre region, so there may not even be wild Pokemon in my town.

What kind of Pokemon do you think you would find in your home town?

 

[Prof Gallows]

What kind of Pokemon do you think you would find in your home town?

I live in a sort of rural area, and up in the mountains. So depending on the region, I would probably expect to find things like Deerling, Teddiursa/Ursaring, Geodude, Graveler, Machop, maybe even Larvitar or Torkoal, since the mountains here are rich in coal. I also live by a river, which is heavily polluted, and there are a lot of industrial plants around, so I'd expect to see lots of Koffing, Grimer, both of their evolutions, and probably smaller forest pokemon for the lower elevations.

I can honestly see problems arising from some of the fire Pokemon. Even though the Pokedex exaggerates some things, I think Pokemon like Slugma could be a real nuisance, as they could kill grass very easily and there's always the risk of fire when watched. Same goes for grimer, who could really hurt the plant population if overcrowded. I actually imagine that introducing Pokemon away from their natural habitat is actually rather difficult.

In a real setting, I can see Slugma not even surviving outside of it's natural environment. It has to constantly move or else it'll solidify and die. The neat thing about Grimer and Muk though, is that they can control their toxicity levels. So unless you had some pissed off Grimer and Muk, I don't see them purposely going out and destroying things. But you are right on the last bit, introducing pokemon to a new environment is a good way to screw up the system.

Fire pokemon are interesting though. The town.. or whatever it's called, that I live in was built however long ago for coal miners to live closer to where they work. Further up in the mountains along some paths I like to go, there is this huge mine that caught fire eighty some years ago, and is still burning. That sort of thing seems like somewhere that fire pokemon would feel at home at if they aren't in their natural habitat.

Living on the seafront I see there be lots of water types, at least closer to the coast. Even more so where I work, we're right on the docks so there'd be loads there. And I'd be cool with that!
I could see grass types being in the fields and backrounds, flying types not far from the Wind farms near me? I dunno.

 

[Officer Berri]

I don't really live in a big town. I live down a back road just a bit aways from a small town you miss if you blink. A Military base isn't that far away either. I assume that the area around here would be mostly inhabited by birds, the small rodent types, and insects and bugs. Maybe a few deerling and sawsbuck as well, since there are deer native to the area. And anything equivalent to a coyote. Coyotes have become a bit of a problem around here at times. We also have Raccoons and skunks so those types of pokemon would be seen as well. You'd spot the occasional Wingull too. There's a reservoir not far north of here. I see freaking seagulls around when it's warm enough.

People have a pretty big problem with littering around here. So I could see pokemon like Grimer and Trubbish being attracted to the areas around the wal-mart and other shopping areas. Though beyond that, large bird pokemon frolicking in the parking lots, packs of wild dog pokemon running through the fields, and rodent infestations would be the biggest problem around these parts.

 

[Prof Gallows]

You see seagulls in Indiana?

 

[Officer Berri]

Yep. |: I have no idea how in the world they got here, but honest to god, I see the dang things hanging around the Kroger Parking lot once it gets warm outside. At first I thought they were just big white birds. Then one flew down and landed right freaking next to the car as I stepped out of it.

I even went home to check wikipedia images of seagulls afterwards to be one hundred percent sure of what they were. My mind was blown.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Wow. Can't say that we have seagulls in West Virginia.. the weirdest we get in our Kroger parking lots are like, bears, and even then that's pretty uncommon. lol


ANYWAY.

Given that animals in the real world sometimes migrate to random places, I suppose the same could go for pokemon.

 

[Juicebox]

The problem with predicting what Pokemon would be near me is that Idaho's ecosystem is really odd. It has abundant forest and mountains, and I'm sure a ton of Pokemon could flourish in that part, but I live in the more urban area. On one hand, Idaho is somewhat considered a dessert, but it isn't arid and dead enough for me to see things like Trapinch. However, it also isn't lush enough for most Pokemon either. The weird thing is, I could see Castform flourishing very well in my town because our weather is so random.

My town has a ton of seagulls despite the utter lack of sea.

 

[Kaiaa]

There are a lot of problems that could arise. I believe that Steelix and Onix would be heavily regulated pokemon (in fact, most very large pokemon would be) because of their size. You can't just say "Steelix, go!" and expect not to get in serious trouble. The would probably only be endangered wild pokemon or used in construction.

 

[Juicebox]

I also wonder, how would we feed carnivorous Pokemon? I know that some Pokemon could probably eat synthetic meat like animals, but there are also some animals that have to eat their prey live. Do you think that if you have an Arbok, you have to you know, catch its dinner?
