Remakes, Reimaginings and Reboots

[Gwen]

this reminds me of a dream I had. I was playing some Pokémon game in DS, and it had a more serious, pos-apocaliptic futuristic setting and stuff, end every NPC had their story and all; also the game was certainly not kid-oriented since it involved people and pokemon dying.

I told this to Mutsukki but he completely rejected the idea. I'll see if I can do something with it in the future...

That is basically the main shin megami tensei series

I think I told him that.

I rejected it because it would be pretty dumb making it have a link with the series. It's like, making a Mario game where every enemy is a zombie version of itself and it's all gruesome and gritty. Just make another series and call it a day (or in the Pokemon case, go play Shin Megami Tensei)

I have to disagree with you, as it's not really like the mario example at all. It'd be like, "What if Team Rocket had succeeded?" I mean they were already chopping off Slowpoke tails which is pretty gruesome as it was a delicacy, and they are mobsters, so seeing to the death pokemon battles doesn't really strike me as that odd. Colosseum in a way was close to this, it had a gritty underbelly, and I'd actually be extremely interested in a pokemon game as such.
