So Xenoblade chronicles x finally arrives. The open world is beatifull, probl the most beatifull open world ever created.

But what would you like to see next?

 

I would love to see an open world pokemon game with a similar big and beatifull open world. Similar combat system, so a mix between turn based and action.

Ability to fly,swim, ride and fight with your pokemons like charizard, similar to the mechs in xenoblade chronicles x.

 

In my opinion such a game would be awesome and it would move consoles. Just remember how pokemon blue/red revived the gameboy.

I don't want Monolith to work on Pokémon so my answer is no.

no problem but may you give some reasons?



Prolly not man. Those games belong on a handheld TBH. Can't see it working from a quality standpoint or even push units at this point with the NX announced already. Monolith Soft only co-develop on the 3ds as well so it would be hard to get Game Freak Co. on board for a Wii U Game. Tetsuya Takahashi only develops Xeno games (Xenogears-Xenoblade) so that's what I expect. But hey even CD PROJEKT RED is stepping away from the Witcher for a second so who knows.

Oh hell no.

Monolith needs to stay away from pokemon.

Work on another Xenoblade or make a new IP.

GameFreak (mainline) or Spike Chunsoft (spinoffs) only plz.


hm. IMO Gamefreak shouldnt make big open world home consoles games, they should stay to mobile "view on top" games. It would be similar to retro games who made metroid prime.

Then - if they need to make a spinoff open world Pokemon game - give it to Level-5 imo and have someone from GameFreak supervise them on the game similar to how Nintendo had HAL side step for Namco on developing Smash bros WiiU/3DS.


level 5 has no expiernece with big open world home consoles game...but okay.



No.I want them to do their own things, like Xenoblade.Nintendo needs the diversity and Monolith Soft is a company that provides it(a part of it anyway)

Having said that, nothing stops them from giving support, advice, and even some staff with experience on world building to help another Nintendo Team to finally do a true Console open world Pokemon game.That would be epic and would be a system seller



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=241866&page=1

I don't think they are ready (yet), I'd like them to make another Xenoblade game to establish the series and then, after a little hiring of devs, I'd like them to work with other Development teams other than the Zelda one, I'm shure they can help GameFreak to do whatever game they do for the next home console (the equivalent of Stadium or Pokkén) plus they are really Creative so who knows, maybe they could suggest to Ken Sugimori some new concepts for new pokémon...

My bad - I didnt completely register what you said about open world.

I thought you meant something like Ni No Kuni in terms of world design l0l - (I have Ni No Kuni on my mind from the announcement XD)

imo - if they want a open world Pokemon spinoff - they should get another third party dev - Monolith should focus on strengthing the Xenoblade franchise or make a new RPG IP.

alright. Well they dont have to make a open world pokemon game for home consoles. But they/nintendo already did something similar with zelda, metroid and mario and all those 3d home console games were amazing, so why not pokemon^^



I think the Pokemon folks are fairly protective of their main franchise. So no. I think Monolith should do something totally new, non-Xenoblade related.

And IF the "NX" is a fusion system as the rumor persists, then keep in mind that Genius Sonority would be the ones making Pokemon, because they would not have to make a portable only game this time, it would be on a portable/home fusion console. So technically, you could get the best of all worlds.
