A brand new region based on a Japanese region, in an alternative continuity. The region is actually a giant, futuristic metropolis with domed green areas and quite spacious sewers.

Pokémons are, well, Pokémechs. Trainers either pilot them or send them into battle like normal robots. They have the same abilities of the actual Pokémon they are based on, except that they take a more "weaponized" look, with rifles and cannons that do the same effects as attacks in the games.

That's fast brainstorming, lass :lol:

You know, I really think Nintendo has an untapped goldmine here. I should write a letter to them saying that they should make a mecha anime around Pokémon. Maybe it takes place in the Pokémon World but so far in the future that trainers have stopped battling with real Pokémon and, instead, fight in giant Pokémon-shaped mech suits. That would be amazing! :lol:

Yeah. Damn, if only fans would be actually in charge of Nintendo :lol:
That said, it is an RP material with absurd potential.
The main problem of course remains that it isn't like there is a mecha design for every Pokémon out there.

The idea also reminds me of G-Gundam, a zany show that really wasn't serious as the other entries of the series, and of which the story consisted in a worlwide tournament between nation-sponsored Gundams that would gift the control of the Earth to the winner.

The Neo-Canadian Gundam was a lumberjack.
The Neo-American one was some sort of cowboy surfer dude :lol: .

That would be a problem, especially since I'm sure there is no mecha design for Lilligant. I'm sure there's also so few designs that we probably couldn't even make an RP based around it. I suppose the alternative would be to just have a normal mecha RP and then allow people (like me) to use Pokémon-based mechas. It would also help attract players who maybe don't want a Pokémon mecha.

Well, if Olthar plans to make an pokémon RP, I don't see this discussion violating this thread's ruling.

But more RP ideas are always welcome.

Well, makes sense. It sorta saddens me that the RP would then deviate from its original idea, though.

Still, this idea would make awesome fan-fiction material, if one was good at writing and picked it up.

I might actually get back into writing Pokémon fan-fiction solely for this idea! :p

Yeah, I searched around online for a while, and I only found about two dozen different designs, not nearly enough to support an entire RP around Pokémon mechs.

You could expand the RP into mechs in general and add the Pokémon mechs to it?

Just 'cus.

Good enough :p .

Anyways, I can say that my Mecha RP certainly won't be a tournament one. It's a military story. Not in the style of your average Call Of Duty, don't worry. A military story that involves war,camraderie, and political intrigue. A military story with realistic mecha (sorta) and focus on team work and tactics.

A military story that has still got people with animal ears and tails and latex flight suits, nonetheless :lol:

You are the second person that said that after hearing the idea :p

And except for the floating continents settings....the analogies stop there.

Those animations were icky. It's the only term I can use to describe it.

Plus, Dragonhunters uses the same floating islands shizzle.

So, just out of curiosity, about when do you think you'll start your mecha RP, Agri?
