Pokemon Bronze Ideas

Alright, then how do you plan on getting a Gengar? Steelix? Alakazam?

We don't exactly have a server to do this on.

Which is the problem with any attempts at making a PC Pokemon game.
You may have to eliminate Game-to-Game trading, which is a large blow, but can make up for it slightly with in-game trades for many more Pokemon than the usual games offer, and make them impossible to get elsewhere.
For instance, a trainer says if you bring her a metal coat, she'll trade you an Onix. For ones where they request an item, they won't request a specific pokemon. However, another may offer a Chatot and request a Fearow.

Just spitballing here, but since you pretty much need to eliminate Game-to-Game trading, keeping HMs the way they are is a must.

Well the other option is to make a ROM Hack, but I really doubt thats gonna happen, considering most of them suck.
Besides Shiny Gold, that one is okay.

If we must have the HMs stay, then we should at least have a semi-rare item that allows us to make them forget on our own. Even just a little something for those annoying moments.

For trade evolutions I figure the other people want to fill up their pokedex too, so they just request the pokemon they want to trade. (So basically you just evolve yours.) While other trainers just want to trade...

Which leads me to: Maybe we could have an area where random trainers gather to trade a random pokemon for another random pokemon?

I found out there's a way of adding a server to the game, but idk the whole story on that. I'll make a post on it when I have full information.

Servers cost money.
And If they don't, then they suck miserably.

We could have it so that some trade-evolutions happen at a certain level, or certain event is triggered, others become evolve-able from stones, and also have in-game trades, right?

That works.

We already discussed this. Plus, you would rather have one-use TMs than infinite-use HMs?

Why random? If you find out a trainer wants this pokemon for that, and you go to a PC and get it, and come back; it's a different pokemon and you got screwed. Unless, you mean they trade for any of your pokemon; then it's a great idea.

With getting pokemons we need to get in a trade, perhaps like every Sunday or a day (if the game runs in real time like Crystal) there is a person that is willing to trade and trade back for your pokemons to evolve? And there should be more people who are willing to just trade. Like on route blah blah blah.

I don't think I'll be getting the game to run real-time.

It shouldn't be too hard. I mean just make the game run along with the PC's internal computer. And that's the hardest part.

Spoiler:

Who's our coder? There has to be some code that can make the game time run on the users' computer time.

Im programming now, and I have to say that it would be very hard to do it in real time.

So I have an idea.

Passwords?
When you trade you are givin a password and the other player inputs it into their game.
That way you could have trades beetween games.

please comment on this idea.

there was a complaint about an idea i had, so im posting it here.
------------------------STORYLINE IDEA--------------------------
You have to pay to get on the boat and when you get off a rober
steals your wallet so you have to beat enough trainers to get your
money back, only to find out theprice has raised so you have to
hunt down the robber that stole the wallet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I think... that he steals your wallet and you have to track him down by watching where he runs away to on the map, until he's trapped and is forced to battle you.

Good idea.

ok.
Hey, what if its a maze, where you have to copy what he does or you, like, fall in a hole or something.

We still need to work is into the storyline somehow.

When you get off the boat at the second city, a robber steals your wallet. He goes into a cave or something (so you don't have to travel it every time you go there) that is actually a maze. I believe this is where we're at?

Perfect. The police can even come in and give you a reward... like a free pass to ride the boat?

okay, that makes sense.
