Title: Photographs in the game?
Post by: Jerry on January 16, 2010, 05:31:03 PM
My last thread about the save system lead to legendaries, which then made me ask myself.

Why not introduce photographs like in HGSS, or enable your character to take pictures (with poses, etc)? Then, you can hang some nice  pictures in your house, or 'guild' (which has not been confirmed yet).

Some pictures with the legendaries that you saw while doing quests will be inscribed in your memory.

Perhaps that will also go with the level of the trainer. The higher, the more photos (s)he can produce.

Sounds like a great idea. I wouldn't mind taking a few pictures with the females and hanging them on the wall of my house.

Except there's one thing I don't like about your idea.

Well anyone can have his/her views. I was thinking along the lines of; the higher your level, the bigger house, more money, can afford to buy more frames, etc...

 :D Yeah, I know, Jerry. I really like your idea though. I can see myself having a lot of fun with it.  ;)

Oh, and I haven't officially welcomed you to PU yet, so WELCOME!  8)

Thanks ChaosControl.

In fact, you can take some pictures in HG and SS at some specific points in the game. There's a photographer, usually witht he sprite of an old man, partly bald. When the photo is taken, you have your pokemon behind and besides you and you can check the photo any time through your PC.

sounds pretty cool, they could go directly to your pc, and then only you could see them, and if you wanted anyone else to see them youd have to pay $$$ to get them printed at the pokemon center, and itd become an item in your inventory or something like that :D

Great idea!  I too disagree with the idea of the higher the level, the more photos though.  I like the housing ideas though.  And also it would defiantly be cool for you to be able to pull the pics up onto your pc.  Maybe even upload them to facebook ;)

Well, if you can see the photos, you'll be able to copy the image and save it on your computer for any use... Use printscreen button on your keyboard, edit the big picture and you're done!

I added the level thingy lasly, meaning it was of least importance. It was only an idea, that sounded fair to me. You would start with maximum 5 pictures, then 10 and so on.

Well I liked the lvling idea. Just because it would motivate the player to actually lvl up their player.

That was not the point. Putting them in the apartment was the prime point, so that your fellow members see your achievements :D. Nah, I think that other members might see the achievements of a particular 'guild' and make a better choice of which to join.

Yes, except that it was incorporated into HG and SS, but it was cool in those games too, and i would love to see photographs in the game, and there could even be photo studios where you could dress up and get your photo taken with different backgrounds.

Yes, that's another point in taking photographs. In HGSS, there were several spots where you cold take a picture, and have your different pokemon in your team in the picture as well. Then, you can manage the photos in your PC. But for PU, I was looking more like hanging them somewhere on the walls of your house, like the 'souvenirs' an explorer keeps of his adventures :D

Yea like maybe when your in a battle with the pokemon then you can hit a certain button that takes the photo for you and saves it in a photography center (may be implemented). Also maybe there could be more cameras available to purchase in these centers so you can hold more pictures at a time.

This is a nice little idea. It would be pretty awesome to take multiple pictures and put them in a photo album to show how your team grew and evolved over time. Were you planning on the user being able to move the pokemon's image around and place it where you want to, or were you planning on having the pokemon in set spots of the picture?

I'm not sure I understand.:-\

I was planning that the photograph itself can be moved around, but the picture is taken as it is
