Remakes, Reimaginings and Reboots

[Mutsukki]

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)

Pokemon Conquest renders your point completely moot

I haven't played it, but I'm quite sure nobody dies, even if it's based on Japan's Sengoku Period.

While I kind of get it, I still think that Pokemon Conquest was not that big of a depart from the series tone, if it was at all, really.

Maybe Pokemon die at the Mystery Dungeon series too, idk, but I still think pos-apocaliptic is a bit too much.
