Pokémon Fruits & Pokémon Vegetables
I saw a rather random question on here, that doesn't seem very relevant, but really made think.
I'm gonna sketch out some ideas for it, but I feel like it should be released on April 1st, one year. It could be an official release, but be treated as a gag.
It could take place in a more agricultural region, full of different farms. You'd have to face Farmers, as you earn the right to catch Pokémon (or harvest) in their fields. (Basically, they'd be like the Gym Leaders, and we'd get something like Gym Badges—except a tad different like maybe Bottle Caps.)
The Bottle Caps would be different than the traditional ones, as they'd specifically be used for recognition of your victory. (And, they'd be granted on an exclusive Soda Bottle—which is maybe used to power up the Box Legendaries, kinda like in Scarlet and Violet.)
*Note: The implication is that the Sodas are a common brand, but the ones given out at the Farms upon your victory, will have the exclusive Gym Badge (or Farm Cap), of those fields.
There can still be Pokémon like Geodude and stuff. But we'd mostly get Fruit and Vegetable themed Pokémon, especially in their designated fields. The Legend for Pokémon Fruits will be (you guessed it) a fruit, and for Pokémon Vegetables it'd be (what a surprise) a vegetable.
This certainly needs more planning, but I think this would be an awesome idea. Which I'm gonna work on more, and maybe have it in my fanfic.
But, please make this a game. I wanna explore more of the Pokémon World.
Viable Pokémon (based on theme):
- Applin
- Flapple
- Appletun
- Dipplin
- Hydrapple
- Smoliv
- Dolliv
- Arboliva
- Pecharunt
Viable Pokémon (based on vibe):
- Munchlax
- Snorlax
- Bonsly
- Sudowoodo
- Pichu
- Pikachu
- Raichu
- Eevee
- Vaporeon
- Jolteon
- Flareon
- Espeon
- Umbreon
- Leafeon
- Glaceon
- Sylveon
- Meowth (maybe a new regional variant)
- Persian
- Perrserker (because I assume it'd be an issue if it wasn't added)
New Pokémon ideas:
- Otamot — Basically a tomato.
- Ogerange — An orange, but looking closer to an ogre.
- Raspur — Would be themed after rasberries, the shiny can be a rather bright blue (because blue raspberries—which are sadly not real). Also it might be cat themed.
And, I'll come up with more details later. But, this is an idea I'd love to see become reality. As I make progress on this concept, I'll update this below. If anyone else have any related suggestions, please share them below.
Oh! And this could also work as a mobile app, as one of those "build your own town" games. Except, I feel it should be kept separate a little, as the mobile app idea, should be a spin-off of this game, and be where the Player creates their own farm, accepts challenges from opposing Trainers, as the player makes one of the most diverse Farms within the region.

I've got more ideas, but this is what I've got prepared to share at the moment.
Also, Otamot—being themed after a tomato—will be known as the "Fruit-Vegetable Pokémon", and will be available in both versions.
(Now, I'm off to work on this idea. I hope it'll be used as an official game, but I'm gonna work on building a story and set-up behind it, in the meantime. I'll post it somewhere in the forum, as I progress, or I'll drop a link to it, so any potential concepts I draw can also be viewed easily within the story.)
P.S. This'll be a mostly separate story from my main fanfic, but I do hope it can be used as a premise for the anime, and I plan on having the main character of my main fanfic visit the region of this story at some point.

Okay work in progress, but the starters are:
- Otamot — Fruit-Vegetable Pokémon — Grass
- Joki — Pepper Pup Pokémon — Fire
- Raspur — Berry Cat Pokémon — Water
I think, I'll start slowing down a bit on detail reveal. Just wanted to share a basic idea of what to expect from the start of the game/story.
I've got lots of details planned so far, such as Player (default/canon) names, the different gyms, and much more. I even have a mild underground area—which will be touched more on, later.
I'm honestly very excited about this... I'm also deciding whether to add a new gimmick or not... (Don't want to risk breaking an unspoken rule... Anyway, avoiding spoilers!)

I sketched out a rough concept of Ogerange. It probably needs more work, but I like how it looks, so far. You'll see it when it gets it's time to shine.
(It's hard to come up with something that fits the vibe and name of an orange... But, I did. And, it just needs a little more work.)
Please, if you have any suggestions on fruits or vegetables that you'd like to see become a Pokémon, I'll gladly work with them and see if I can fit them in.
P.S. I decided that Otamot would be a starter. I'm thinking pure Grass Type. Any suggestions for an evolved typing? (I'm thinking of making it like a tortoise, armadillo, or something along those lines. But, I feel like a tortoise would fit the vibe of the name more.)
Also, Pecharunt probably won't be a main story Pokémon, but like a mild side quest. But I will give it a fair chunk.
I think, I'll have "Awoia" be the name of the region. —a placeholder, at least. ("Hodai" or "Hincha" are also some ideas... Still not entirely sure. I'm trying to follow the trope a bit, but I'm not very good at geography... I might make up a name that just feels right, and if it becomes official, then the Pokémon Company can rename it, if they feel it doesn't fit.)
Oh! Something else I just thought of! Some or all of the farms/ranches will be prepping for a major festival, and they need to deal with a new kind of Pokémon, which seems to be hindering progress on the farms. The player would have to face it, before taking on the "Gyms". The first Farm doesn't have one, so the player doesn't have too much to worry about, when facing the "Gym".
(I derailed a bit.) The festival features fun games and tasks for visitors of each Farm. The first one has a game of "Applin Bobbing". But you have to have your Pokémon bob for them, at least for your challenge.
Also, I just realized... If the Pokémon Company does decide to make this into an official game, then making the story right away might spoil details (or even the whole) of the game's premise... I guess, if they like how it starts or something, they can reach out and let me know, and I'll let the game be made, before I continue... But, we'll see what happens.
If the game does get made, I have two requests. (My writer name to be put in the credits for the concept, and that it doesn't get announced until it's actual release date—preferably on an April 1st.)
The reason I specify April 1st, is because the game feels like such a silly concept, that people might think it's just a prank. And when it's revealed upon that date, they won't believe it right away, and might even shrug it off until they go and see it for themselves. Plus, if people did think it was fake, they'd believe that it was a multi company prank, that even retailers partook in. Only to realize that it was legit. (I just hope no leaks happen for it... I'd want it to be a surprise to everyone.)

@Megapet88888888 I could help!
May take a few months-a few years, but I could work on it!!!
Lets get this made!!!

Also,
You may want to change the topic name from "Helps and Feedback" to "Pokémon Square". It could help with the publicity.

I put it to Feedback, because I want the Pokémon Company to make it official. This is where we place our suggestions and ideas. I'm more concerned with it being made officially by the company, than just talking about it or making it as a concept as fans.
Also, I'd prefer you not make the game itself, as from what I heard, that's why we don't yet have a Flying Type Veevee, because a fan had made one, and the official concept looked too much like the fan design, so it would've created legal issues for them.
Personally, I'm already working on concepts. But they're specifically for the Pokémon Company to use. I may even put my Veevee concept in it, to grant the opportunity for that to get a chance to exist officially.
But, yeah. It's a concept designed specifically for the Pokémon Company to use. I'm even sketching out a map and other stuff. I've got a lot of visuals in my head, I just have to get them on paper and stuff. Then, I have to figure out how to send it in to the Pokémon Company.
Actually, I may even write out the story, and simply hold onto it, until I may have the opportunity to pitch it properly to the Pokémon Company. I'm that serious about this project, that may be seen as mostly just a gag.
I've started doing research and analyzing the best things to theme each Pokémon after, while still making them feel like Pokémon.

I have come up with a gimmick! But it's more of a preview of a gimmick, which will set up for my main fanfic. Plus, it shall remain a secret for now. (I'm not sure if anyone can tell but I'm very excited for this project.)

I always thought the feedback section in here is meant to be feedback for the forums…
0 -
Yes, you likely can give Feedback about the forums themselves, but they have tags and such specifically for the different games and sections, so you can share ideas about nearly any part of the Pokémon Franchise/Universe.
Anyway, if you look at the plans above, you can see some ideas of which I've got planned. If you have any suggestions for it, then please feel free to share.
As an aspiring writer, I will analyze the best use of each idea, or whether it would viably fit within the story, based off theme, environment, and so-on.
I've got a lot more planned out, but I'm keeping it under the radar until I've got enough for the story to place as a fanfic, or the Pokémon Company decides to make it official.

Just for your information, it's part of TPCi's terms not to take unsolicited fan suggestions for new ideas.
