Pokémon Universe > Ideas & Suggestions
The BIG transportation topic (bikes, skateboards, etc..)
Draagn:
I dont like the borrowing it idea because say you didnt know about the new tournament and you riding along your in the middle of nowhere and it vanishes that would suck you'd have to walk a really long way..not a well thought out plan.

I dont know if I would want random means of transportation like skateboards and scooters.
Im content with the old fashioned walking and ocassional bike usage. (and of course ship/boat and Train)
Having all of these "vehicles" (like the solar powered car) just seems too congesting.
When i think of a MMoRPG i think of socializing and constant interaction between players.
If everyone is going 20 KpH on their bikes or 70KpH in their cars, i doubt anyone would really enjoy themselves (at least i think so anyway)
The way this thread looks as though the PU team is really considering skateboards, scooters, and cars and "mechanical rapidashes????? (WTF?) so I would like to suggest having the transportation system simlar to Counterstrike or games like S4 where there is a certain amount of time you can use a certain item.
Like when you buy your bike, skateboard, etc; the player would have to by the Bike for a certain amount of time as well. (eg. 30 hours)
And give the player the option to add time by taking it to the skateboard/bicycle/"mechanical rapidash" (seriously?) shop mechanic
Edited:
Implementing something like this would reduce the clutter in the small towns. Players would actually have to manage their vehicle usage.
And the idea of buying a vehicle one time and using it an unlimited number of times sound cheesy and way too easy.
Jerry:
Good point ghostman... I haven't thought about it the least. I don't think I'll like having cars after all. Keeping the 'traditional ones' will be largely sufficient.
Also, I find that the speed of the bicycle is good as it is. Maybe include two gears like in DPPt, or two different types of bikes: acro and mach for two different options.
In contrast, I won't like too much the idea that I'm going on my bike, the suddenly it disappears and the next 'shop mechanic' is miles away. I would prefer it being permanent, or at least have some gauge with it. When it is red for example, meaning that the tyres are flat, or some other mechanism has broken, you still have some time before it falls into pieces. Repairing a bike with red gauge would cost some money, whilst repairing the whole thing would be much more expensive.

Wrong, we're not considering skateboards, scooter, cars and a mechanical bull-ride. If it was totally up to me you'd be walking most of the time with an occasional use of a bike.

WOuld there be a limit to how often the bike is used? or will it be similar to how the bikes are used in the Handhelds?
