Ask HN: Pokémon V2 NFT Game?

1 pointdigitcatphd2 comments

What are your thoughts on a Pokémon style game with cyborg animals whose strengths/weaknesses, and special battle cards are built into the code with monthly automatic competitions running through random battle scenarios for NFT holders and NFT awards for the winners with a leaderboard?

Build your virtual army of Cyborg Pokémon in Web3 and battle your friends or compete globally.

I'm thinking: Where would the entertaining element be? How is this different from a lottery?

I wasn't thinking the randomization element per-se, but an ability to build an army that has unique rule based strengths and weaknesses against other agents.

Think, creating your Starcraft army with an automated battle outcome.

Perhaps people could bet against one another or have quarterly pools in ranked categories?

This way, its also not so much about 'I spent more money than you', but I build a well balanced army or prepared a strategy that wins in real life.

I guess an app to watch the battle simulations would be pretty darn badass too! Too expensive and complex though.
