Lets Make a Pokemoba!
**The point of the game is to make up champion concepts based on Pokemon. ** Rules:
- Only making Passives and Ultis (normal three abilities are based on in game moveset)
- Everyone in the same family shares a passive; only final evolutions get ultimates. THis would mean that Eevee, Jolteon, Vaporeon all have the same Passive, Jolteon and Vaporeon have different ultimates, Eevee has no ultimate, they all have different base stats.
- For pokemon with non-level based evolutions, you decide how they would evolve.
- Pokemon are picked by their first evolution; if they have multiple evolution paths that is a strength of their kit and should add versatility.
- You can make things that riot isnt a fan of, such as things where you control multiple units at once. You can even combine two pokemon into the same kit (like for Plusle and Minun)
- This ones more of a suggestion, but getting that final evolution should be the equivalent of hitting 6, and most of the time would come with a power spike. Pokemon with no evolutions start with their ult, and are therefore early game focused. How useful they are before or after that powerspike is up to you. Example Pokemon: Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam Passive: Teleport's cast time is removed and range is increased. However, it can only be used within 6 seconds of taking damage from an enemy pokemon. It also only allows movement in the direction of the home base. Ultimate: Global blink, does minor damage on arrival. if a dark type is near where you blink from, it spends the cooldown and does nothing. If a dark type is near where you blink to, it performs the move but silences Alakazam on arrival. _Stats: _ Good AP, ok MS, bad AS, AD, AR, MR, Health, Ranged but low range. Pros: Can pick people off with ult from across the map. Early game is still weak as a three evo pokemon, but its a lot safer because of his passive turning one of his main abilities into a safety net. If timed right, can Ulti in, blow someone up, and teleport back out. Cons: Really squishy. Passive and ultimate useless around dark types. Ultimate is on a huge cooldown. Ultimate teleport combo is similar to LB's W but takes up two ability slots and requires damage to be taken to blink back, and is on a huge cooldown. Really useless as abra.
NOTE: The rest of this post is to elaborate on some of the things were assuming are in this Pokemoba in order to help you conceptualize. Not really necessary to read for the game.
Lets pretend that nintendo and riot (or valve) had a baby and made a crazy awesome game with pokemon in a Moba setting. The biggest changes they make include a) levels go from 5-70 rather than 1-18 b) instead of upgrading abilities at certain levels, you replace them with entirely new abilities (this is only for main three abilities; ultimate stays the same) c) two lanes, one land one water, LOTS of jungle camps with wild pokemon d) legendaries unplayable; represent Baron/drag e) type advantages are extremely present, along with STAB's. Psychic types are hard countered by Dark types, as many psychic abilties cant even be used around Dark types. f) SIX POKEMON on each team! g) can pick same pokemon twice. Six man eevee comp 100% viable!
Every pokemon will evolve and learn abilities at the same level they would in the handheld games.
