Shameless plug, but I'm working on a similar mobile game : Mobbles (Our tagline is actually Google Maps + Pokemon) http://www.mobbles.com
I'm not that unhappy it's an April fool ;)
I'm not that unhappy it's an April fool ;)
Things i would like to see:
1. Require battles to catch new Mobbles, and maybe catch requirements. All very Pokemon(y)
2. Random battles/encounters. Walking to the store and bam, suddenly you have to fight :D.. should probably disable while driving hah.
3. Proximity Battles. Taking the bus/train/etc with people and you could challenge them, all without knowing who they were. You'd simply see a .. Trainer(?) nearby, and challenge them for additional xp/etc.
Very cool game nonetheless :)
edit: Turns out #1 is sort of done, but the battling in this game is very simplistic. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing haha
edit2: Yea, i'd kill for 4-6 move battling. This rock paper scissors thing will get old fast :/
Ours isn't released yet though, so you have the leg up for now ;)
I too am not unhappy that this is an April fool joke.
P.S. - If you're interested, here's a video of our internal alpha with bugs and all : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc-PVpUlRLU
