Custom Rentals for Pokémon Stadium 2

Applications: Affinity Designer
Summary: A personal, solo design project I made for fun that played with the idea of what it would be like if the player had more control over the Pokémon they were picking in Pokémon Stadium 2. Being able to choose a Pokémon's moves, item, and special variables would have given the rental system a lot more depth to how players could have created their teams.


Pokémon + Pick 10 = More Customization

In Pokémon Stadium 2, the player can pick rental Pokémon to form a team of six and enter gym battles and cups. However, there is a certain pattern to the rentals: Pokémon with low stats are given good moves and Pokémon with good stats are given very weak moves. Some of the opponents you face don't have these restrictions and later fights have Pokémon with both high stats and good moves that makes for challenging fights, sometimes almost unfair fights.

I thought of how Call of Duty uses a Pick 10 system where the player customizes their gun with a restriction of 10 points. Bringing this into Pokémon Stadium 2 allows for:
  • Lots of customization for any single Pokémon to have the moves or item a player would want for them.
  • A simple restriction of 10 points that stops any one Pokémon from being too strong.
  • A greater sense of strategy of how a player can plan for a series of fights with changing their Pokémon's move list, item they hold, gender, or stat boosting item.
I documented the idea with a visual mockup of what the screen would look like, what the items would generally cost to equip, and how they could be sorted for the player to view.
