Pardon my ignorance in all that is Pokemon, but I plan on implementing a schweet new system here that is very similar. Basically you will be collecting "Pokemon" and fighting each other's pokemon (except they wont actually be Nintendo's pokemon characters)

Can you lose your pokemon?
What if they died instead of fainting? Would that effect the game balance?

Should I have all the elementals? (Fire, Water, Ground, ...) or are only a few really needed?
Is there a chart somewhere saying what beats what?

How do items affect pokemon?

How many different moves does a pokemon have? How many of them do you actually use?

What are all the move "types" (attack, defense, heal, ???)

[vg]

1. No, but you can free it.
2. It depends on lvls. Usually yes.
3. Go into which elements further.
4. Look here.
5. In many different ways. Health, evolution, stats, etc.
6. The amount each pokemon can learn is different, but the amount it knows at any given time is four.
7. Attack, heal, stats change (defense, attack, evasivive, speed, special)

Anything else I miss?

[Lord Bob]

You can release your pokemon and never see it again. There is a chart of weaknesses and strengths. Here it is:
there are physical, special and other moves. A pokemon can know 4 moves at a time.

I always use Serebii.net for my pokemon needs.

[Super Hario]

Francis, if ya run out of ideas for Pokemon, you can use my Pokemutations. I can even make more for ya if you need.

[Lord Bob]

Also, a pokemon called Smeargle can learn ANY move using sketch, but sketch has one PP (power point). I have a Smeargle that knows fly on my emerald version. How? Double battle! Pokemon: Smeargle and Air Crush (Rayquaza) Vs. Linoone and Hariyama. Air Crush uses Fly, and Smeargle uses Sketch on Air Crush. Smeargle has learned Fly.

I think that it would be cooler if we could capture Mario enemies

[Lord Bob]

You mean on catch cards? Technically, you're a Mario enemy, Popple. In M&L: SS, you do get fought. *uses catch card sp on Popple* WOOT! POPPLE CARD!

[Super Hario]

Aw, I wanted that one! I'll trade you my Wart for it!

[Lord Bob]

I have, like, 5 Warts. Hang on, do you have Lemmy Koopa? I will give you a popple card for that. Hang on. *Goes to card counterfeit machine and makes new real Popple cards*

[Popple]

*Burns his own card* AT LEAST I LIVED A MEANINGFUL LIFE! *diezorz*

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

Perfect. We need a Pokemon/Trading Card type thing around here.

Well, we don't NEED it particularly, but it would make this place even more awesome.

[Francis]

Trust me, this will be high-technicaaaaaly awesome.

I just gotta work out how battle will work.

You always alternate turns right? Unless you put someone to sleep or something like that.
What do the stats like speed & special do?

[Meta Knight]

Right. It's turn based.

Speed will determine who attacks first.
