AN IDEA I HAD FOR A POKEMON GAME

CloseThe only Pokemon games I ever finished was Blue and Yellow version but I do know a bit about how the series has progressed and months ago when X and Y released I saw that the main character seemed to live in a very wealthy area.
So, I thought maybe they should do a Pokemon game that's the exact opposite where you play a kid who grew up in a ghetto and instead of a goal of beating the elite four his goal is to open up his own gym which could bring tourism and commerce to his neighborhood. The game would basically focus on raising money for the poor through the use of your pokemon.
Let me know if you like or hate the idea.

Now, the idea itself is sound from a story angle, but you'll need to elaborate on gameplay, because I can't really imagine how the game would play out. Would Pokemon have to do tricks to attract spectators, would you go fight random trainers to get money and use that to fund the gym (that's not getting into the possible intricacies of starting a gym in the first place), what would it be?

Yeah I think you would definitely want trainer battles as a way of raising cash since that's something Pokemon fans are accustomed to doing. Having them do tricks for spectators is also a possibilty. You could also capture specific monsters and assign them to do certain things for the community like capture an Electrode/Magnemite to power a house whose residents can't afford their electrical bill. Also, you could capture a Ryhorn and it could give rides to people who can't afford a car.
Another aspect of the game would be designing your gym, that should be pretty fun I think.
Speaking of which I noticed that in Pokemon the player never pays to get in the gym. Perhaps you only pay a fee if you are a regular member at said gym like the NPCs that battle the player before the gym leader. So part of the game would be about convincing other trainers to get a membership at your place.
Anyway hope that gives you a better picture and we can certainly brainstorm some more on other game play possibilities.

For a start, the assigning of different Mons to do community tasks reminds me of the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha games, in which demons in the game could help perform various tasks such as investigation, lighting up dark areas, reaching hidden places via flight, etc. I suggest if you ever actually make this that you look to that for some inspiration. A good amount of abilities would probably be based on Type. (Electric would be able to power things, Fire can set things ablaze, etc.)
