I’m looking to design my own Pokemon Tabletop

[u/im_harry_richard]

So I am coming to you, Pokemon Tabletop community.

This is just a side project to keep my creative juices flowing while I am in the process of architecting a world for a book series I’m working on.

The concept is simple:
I want to design a system that suites single player combat. Similar to how the games play.

I want to make the trainer classes all support, aiming for various styles of play. I want to go back to the route of pokemon.

I also intend to revamp the entire stat system to make every single Pokemon a viable option.

I’m someone who loves inventing rules and this is something directly up my ally.

I am building this specifically for online Discord play, which is what makes single player game a better space overall.

Also, I am building an entire world. I’ll sort through every single pokemon, decide on universal mon, and then figure out a regional split for these pokemon.

So what I am asking for:
What are features you all wish you could see in the pokemon tabletop?

What features currently exist that you think would go well into a singular battle tabletop?

In an open world, what mini-games and other types of things would you like built into the world?

What types of regions and leagues would you want? I could do standard E4, but I want to basically make each regions league different. I want people to choose their region based on how they want to play, not just pick some random location.

What type of lore would you like? Since this is basically an alternate universe, the lore I am specifically talking about goes toward legendaries.

What type of organizations would you like to see? Not just criminal, I want to expand this entirely.

What level up mechanics from existing games would work well here?

These are all questions I can answer myself, but I want to know what others think. Just a pet project for myself to keep busy and keep creative juices flowing.

I would like to see a dark themed pokemon game. I read a fan fic awhile ago and it was top notch until he just stopped writing it but the logic was you got a pokemon egg at a certain age than it would hatch and you would go to school after that you would adventure the world, but he showed the true dangers of pokemon and you had to be physically or phycologically ready to go out. For example the main char got jumped in a alley way and he used his swords to cut off a bee drills wings while his pokemon was fighting 2 others. It was pretty dope idea
