storyline idea

so here is my idea. i hope you are ready to read xD
Since im assuming its decided that your rival joins the evil team, what if there is a point (near the end of the main story) where you have to do the usual storming of the enemy base, but when you get to the end and discover your rival is evil you battle him to stop him from doing something that would help the bad guys take over the world. then even once you beat him he is still able to do whatever it is he was doing and the bad guys take over the region (the elite 4 champion or something will show up and get you out of the base) then you flash away to some house in your hometown where your pokemon are healed, etc. you then find out that the small town is the only town in the region that hasnt been overun by the bad guys. the champion then asks you to join a resistence (of course you say yes) then you fly to a big city, where long story short you and the champion and your secondary rival storm in, whoop some bad guy behind and kick the bad guys out then when you go to face the evil boss your rival springs into action and you do a double co-op battle with him/her....*takes deep breath* done xD

No co-op battles for major, plot-centric battles. The player should take care of that themselves. And I always imagined that the rival was already a member of the evil team and came to the professor's lab to steal one of the starter pokemon. However, the idea of fighting your rival at the end of an enemy base is a good idea.

Personally, I liked the idea of the rival being the son/daughter of the Professor, but he/she joins the bad team... blah, blah, blah. But this is good too. Gelo has the reason. You cannot battle the big boss with help. Do it like D/P when you first face the 2 sub-ordinates with your rival and then you face alone the boss.

Not bad, But the player should really fight his own battles.

So, you and your rival beat the 2 subordinates bosses and then you fight alone the Big Boss. Then, you can face the Legendary, and then you can access the last Gym. That is D/P storyline. So, what is ours? When you defeat the 8 Gym you have to face the evil team?

I like the idea of fighting the boss with your rival, but other than that I can't say I like the rest of this. No offense or anything.

I think the rival should join relatively early in the game, in the first or second encounter with the evil team. That way their Pokemon are at roughly the same level as a grunt's. They could be encountered a couple of time as a grunt, then slowly move up through the ranks until they are essentially second only to the main boss. Then you fight your rival just before you fight the main boss, then the legendary, then the 8th gym.

i think there should be maybe like a boulder or something blocking victory road and you get strength after you defeat team nova

Better Rock Climb.

dont exist in 3rd gen

Dan. I think that is too late in the game to get Strength. Maybe Waterfall.

im kinda tired of waterfall always being like the last hm you get but i does make the most sense cuz of the water

I liked the the resistance idea, is something quite common in the films and books (specially fantasy ones,i don't know why) but works well. Maybe through the game things are going worse, i mean, you talk with people and said Team Unova is threatening gym leaders, closing buildings, kidnapping e4 or whatever every time more, until you defeat their leaders (with the rival) and then you alone against the boss (i heard B/W boss is quite hard to beat-i vote for someone like him, because neither in HGSS or pearl and diamond the boss represented a great challenge)

I honestly don't know why people say that. I was able to beat both N and Ghetsis without any problems.

I disagree. I actually had to beat N, lose to Ghetis, level grind for two months, and come back.

N can be surprisingly hard without the legendary, and Ghetsis is either really easy or really hard. On my battles with him I've beat him first try, then on a later one lost to him and had to PP stall his Hydreigon.

we could have you face the boss with the rival but jack the bosses levels up to somewhere in the 60s

I had a Gurdurr. And OHKO with Hammer Arm, Gelo. Yes! I can read that! (Or I used Zweilous? I cannot remember.) My team was: Serperior, Chandelure, Eelektross, Gurdurr, Zweilous and Reshiram.

I think I'd probably just PP stall it to heck with Walrein. Or maybe just dispose of it with Escavalier or Crustle.


Anyway, we should probably get back on topic, don't you agree?
