How would you update seafoam islands? does it even need it? I think there should be some story content there
Mist stome
>story contentThe presence of a legendary isn't enough for you to give the place significance? Do you really need a "oh no the rockets are stealing the sacred water" plotslop?
Blaine already turned the place into his new Gym
>>58253599Have a minor storyline of Lorelei hearing rumors of a shiny Lapras being seen there and investigating
>>58253599Is this for your new fangame Pokemon Gatorade Blue?
>>58253599seafoam is fine, fix rock tunnel.
>>58253692Here it fits and you are right, Articuno is enough. But they really really should have done something different for Moltres than 'push a bolder dozens of squares in Victory Road'
>>58253692nta but the legendary birds are nothing legendaries. they're just birds that exist and are kind of strong and that's it. and the hands-off minimal storytelling of early pokemon isn't an excuse because mewtwo from the same game and the legendary beasts from the very next generation are excellently characterized and remain among the best legendaries to this day.>>58253711rock tunnel needs some real freaks hanging out in the darkness. like beta gligar. imagine running into this thing in a pitch-black cave.
>>58253599Environmental storytelling is enough, cutscenes don't need to be shoved in our faces all the time.
>>58253786>Environmental storytelling is enoughseafoam's environment isn't telling any story
>>58253599The hardest thing to update is the fact that it's just an uninhabited natural landmass and caves when in the anime they show that civilization exists on it.In a theoretical "Kanto but updated" game, I would want the Seafoam Islands to serve as some sort of late-game or post-game area where you can do certain things. Maybe something that has similar functionality to the Poke Pelago in gen 7? Or maybe have minigames located there from FireRed/LeafGreen? Or even a surfing minigame since the anime had a surfing plot there?It suffers from what a lot of Kanto suffers from, which is the fact that Kanto is still more or less sticking to the same sort of DNA that was present in the first games and I would 100% be down for another Kanto game if massive reworks of most areas were done, even if that means to start off you scale up the routes of the game by 250-300%.
>>58253799It's a cave for water and ice Pokemon. pretty simple
>>58253816that's not a story
>>58253800>The hardest thing to update is the fact that it's just an uninhabited natural landmass and caves when in the anime they show that civilization exists on itThat was 4kids fucking up. The place where Ash and friends went to vacation at is called Binnes in the japanese version while the actual Seafoam Islands is called Twins Island. Also 4kids added a line that it was an Island when it was connected to mainland Kanto.Pic related is what the actual Seafoam Islands looks like in the anime when it first appeared in Journeys
>>58253705>interrupt you for expositiongreat gameplay bro
>>58253832Disregard, did not know that. Still, I don't think that changes my answer that much, minus the surfing. After Cinnabar Island's volcanic eruption, it would make sense that after Blaine moved his gym there, then naturally other people would visit and a town would form around it. This of course would only not work considering the size of the main islands now.
>>58253818cave dungeons in pokemon get themes, not stories.
>>58253666Gonna be using this in a fanfiction I'm writing.
>>58253599underground hailfire peaks tunnel to cinnabar
>>58253968most of them don't even get themes
>>58253800In a fanfiction I'm writing, Blaine never manages to resettle Cinnabar and a town forms on Seafoam around his gym. The presence of a human population has disrupted the enviroment and half of the caves have thawed out.
>>58253599LGPE did it just fine. The upper floors are more island like while the lower floors ard a cave.
>>58253599They need to make it so surfing from Cinnabar to Pallet town is only one way so you're forced to go through Seafoam. I seldom ever do seafoam before post game.
