Title: Join Team Rocket
Post by: KaliMa on December 21, 2010, 09:12:12 AM
It would be great to actually join team rocket, perhaps as infiltration  and you have side quests to either sabotage or participate.
Though participating could cause the Pokémon to become unhappy and if u screw up the mission you could get caught and lose money or items ect.
Not suggesting that players get involved with steeling NPC Pokémon but steeling money, books, artifacts ect.
A possibility for a reward at the end is a rare Pokémon or Item ( or access to a sales person who sells things that aren't normally available).


Would like to know what other people think of this idea

might be cool, but we don't want everyone stealing from each other. now do we?

Nar nothing like that, stealing stuff that wouldn't make any difference to game play

I like your idea but I think it would conflict with the storyline of the game.
Maybe an update later on.

Also, if there's a team rocket faction, the PU team would most likley have to create another faction.
We already know that there's going to be guilds (clans w/e), and I'm happy with that alone.

Team Rocket's not even in the game. A whole-new villainous team.

I don't like the idea, personally.

Coming from the guy who IS writing the story line, Team Rocket will in fact be making an appearance, however they will not be the only villainous gang

My apologies. I watched Spirit's videos and saw the villainous gang and assumed they would be the only ones.

But still, the option to join Team Rocket would be stupid.

I dunno, Spirit and I were hoping we could implement some kind of karma system, I mean look at how many games these days let you play the bad guy.

I think it's a good idea.
The more options the player has, the better.

I suppose that's kind of a good idea...
Maybe a certain level of good karma to do some quests for the Professor or whatever, or a certain level of bad karma to do missions for Team Rocket/whatever.
Also, maybe exclusive areas for people who have completed the special karma quests (you can only join one 'faction' as it were) where you can buy exclusive clothes etc?

Hmm... I'm beginning to think this isn't such a bad idea...

Drbg:
No. I don't even need to explain the fallacy of your thinking here, because chances are it was just a misplaced joke.

shadow:
Stealing pokemon from NPCs and other players = no.
"stealing" pokemon from a designated lab as a quest for team rocket = Maybe.

i like the idea, but has the others say, it changes the story line, and also, stealing pokemons its a litle to of the place, you now, and the thing of sabotage, its not much pretty, what iits the point then to be part of the team rocket, or the new team developed in the game

Was just an idea coz i have been on Oblivion alot lately, and one of my mates and i have talked about it a few times and thought it would open the story up a bit and not make the game as linear.
Thanx for the comments  ;D

So kind of like the karma system in the game Infamous, and maybe you could make it that you can only do certain quests if your karma is a certain level.

No... Spirit and I talked about the whole karma thing, we'd prefer it if it wasn't explicit (e.g. a quest announces that you get +5 karma) Things will be a little more complex...

Hm... this sounds interesting. I'm going to go ask spirit about it. On IRC. Where everyone should go.

Besides, if you want to cause mischief, don't join Team Rocket, join the Bloody Noodles Cool Horses League, Hosted by Dark's and Urmel's Cool Horses Alliance. It's what we're here for.



But seriously... If done correctly, this could make for an interesting feature.

I am thinking of branching off of the EE and making a guild called: The Losers!

I told you Mr.Rex, but would you listen?  >:(

Anyway, on topic I like the idea of Karma! Sounds good :) I would ALWAYS pick good karma though  8)

I would carry a lead sheet with me, so that I could hide my true alignment - be it vague or not - from everyone. Gotta keep 'em guessing when you're Frenchfry.
