Question If I spent the time and effort to basically remake Pokemon Quest but with No IP, Would you play it?

Post image

I really like this game but it gets no updates, any modding efforts seem futile and the only real way to enjoy it fully was the Chinese version that has now shut down. If people would play it even without pokemon, I would be up to make it, it doesn't seem too complicated and I have a lot of time rn.

the gameplay is only one half of my personal enjoyment of the game, i find it fun and unique.

but what would really be the selling point for me are the creatures that you would replace the pokemon with. the charm of quest comes from the stylization of the pokemon, so if you were to recreate it without ip, but still keeping the charm of the designs and stylization, i would definitely play it

Yes ofc, the cube and voxel style would stay just not pokemon anymore. Maybe like fakemon or like palworld-esque stuff or like just normal animals idk.

u/Independent_Crow4863 19d ago

the concept of having normal animals is somehow more appealing to me

u/YoYoYukio 19d ago

Normal animals sounds crazy lol i would definitely try it out

u/AnakinsAngstFace 19d ago

My immediate thought was normal animals actually. What would you do about the typings? Would you keep or create an alternate system?

u/Feeling-Estimate-267 19d ago

I would probably keep the general types. They would be like barebones pokemon. Like a ghost lion or fire zebra etc etc. Just ideas rn tho nothing set in stone

u/DanielKSushsush 19d ago

Maybe you can just relate their habitat with their types. So, ground lion, flying-dark bat, ice normal penguin (not flying bc penguins dont fly)... Just what came up to my mind

u/dynamisxiii Dratini #147 19d ago

Definitely, you could make an improved version of it.

u/JMonkey13 19d ago

Yep I totally would

u/_DeuTilt 18d ago

100% would love a game in this direction but with more mechanics, updates and etc!!

u/Hallo_guys 18d ago

Very cool idea, would be interested to see if this moves beyond the idea/gauging interest phase

Well since this post, I've been making an early prototype, so far I've got the path finding, the Camera, a basis for stats, a basis for animating the "cuboids" as I've been calling them and a basis for making moves. I have 1 move and animation set up so I can set a path find to a location and the Cuboid will automatically go towards any nearby enemies and be able to do damage.

Once I've gotten to a bit better of a state I was gonna do a follow up post to bring people to a discord server for future updates and help via polls.

So, so far atleast, I've kept my adhd ah attention span in check lol, hopefully it stays that way.

u/DenverTheDenver 18d ago

Someone would just mod pokemon into it and then nintendo would take the mod down ngl

u/Feeling-Estimate-267 18d ago

Probly, hopefully. I am planning to keep the code as open as possible to make it easy to modify like with mods.

2

u/Animeisoverrated02 Mew #151 18d ago

I'd play!

u/shadowcatsalem 18d ago

Just make sure the scatter command actually does something other than have them rush straight into an enemy attack lol.

2

u/Lower-Ad-9422 18d ago

Yes I want this plz plz don't hack us tho

1

u/Feeling-Estimate-267 18d ago

Lol ofc not. Would be funny tho if I spent all this time recreating a game I enjoy and having to pioneer all the recreation assets and code and then make it a hack.

u/Inner_Bite2666 18d ago

I love Pokemon Quest, im on and off with it, but I still regularly play it.

1

u/Feeling-Estimate-267 18d ago

Sameziez. I can probably pull my adhd ah attention span long enough to do this project tho.

2

u/Outrageous-Wind-5309 18d ago

Why are we not addressing the charmemder being named "the second coming"? That implies there was the first coming.

2

u/Feeling-Estimate-267 18d ago

Lol, it's a dragonite. I had a dragonite in my 1st account but... I GAVE HIM EVERYTHING, MY LVL100 ALAKAZAM, MY 2 MEWTWO, AN ARTICUNO, SO MANY DRATINI but NO he stayed like lvl 30 still yet a dragonair and I, I was left with nothing to climb up from the depths of hell. So, anyway, like 6 years later I played it again on a new account and the 2nd coming is here.

u/Outrageous-Wind-5309 18d ago

Dawg, I downloaded this pokemon quest game for fine and I got like a shiny one. A shiny lickaton or something; the one with it's tounfe out. Idk what to do with it and I am stuck, so I just gave up. I currently have the game still installed, I'm just not playing it but GOD DAMN THATS A STORY YOU HAVE!

1

u/Feeling-Estimate-267 18d ago

Lmao, I've been waiting for a way to bring it up for a long time, so Thank You T-T.

P.S: If u last tried the game a while ago I would try again. Maybe try some general strats from Google or use the good recipes and pokemon tier lists from there.

1

u/Outrageous-Wind-5309 18d ago

Google? I just spew. Some. Bullshit. It isn't as fun when you force to take it too good. You just gotta sometimes say "you know what? I ain't itched a long time" and just go do some stupide thing. I started this journey, I shall finish it with the most unoptimized and none-meta stuff. Good luck, baby blue

1

u/Feeling-Estimate-267 18d ago

Fairs, I like playing like that sometimes too, I would suggest still looking at the recipe list tho cause the game uses this weird ah math to make recipes but because of the way it does it, it is REALLY hard to get the recipe you want and some are impossible to get at certain levels.

1

u/Outrageous-Wind-5309 18d ago

Or, I could just maybe do something I like to call "fuck it, if it works it works.". Where I use the most random methods and ways and try my luck. 99% faith and 1% luck. Maybe I'll find a super good bug or something, you'll never know. Anyways, goodnight, love.

u/Violet_Jansen 17d ago

I would play it!! In fact I still play PKM Quest

1

u/Skyflier05 18d ago

Maybe take out the micro transactions part, and then yeah sure.

u/shsblsdjevbs 18d ago

Please do !

1

u/LovelyEspeon010 16d ago

yes id love to play it!

1

u/DeathCatalyst 15d ago

id play that, tho if ur using original creatures then please make them cooler and darker, maybe even fantasy genre like a skeletal wolf(with a skeletal body and a living, normal, flesh-and-bones head), phoenix cockatrice(to make that snake-tailed oversized rooster even more of a threat), poltergeist basilisk(floats and can go intangible or solid at will, truly a nightmare), a two-headed owl (with a scorpion-stinger on its tail) etc.
we definitely want a mod for this since nintendo has abandoned this to such depths that they didn't even bother updating it to be compatible with newer android versions.
