It seems if you take the psychic elective, you will be trained in telekinesis and telepathy. This brings up an interesting possibility. Will telepathy-driven choices be included in the game? Can I cheat on exams by reading the mind of a smarter student? Can I know exactly the right thing to say to a person by reading their mind? Can I know where to find pokemon, and which ones are available, by doing a mind-sweep of an area? Can I use telekinesis to force that abra to stay still long enough to catch it? If Red becomes proficient in his latent psychic abilities, it seems like all of these things should be possible. However, that would mean that taking the psychic elective makes the game horribly unbalanced. I'm sure Red would be a good person and not cheat, and not invasive-ly read minds, but using psychic powers for search and catching pokemon seems like abilities that if a trainer has, they would use. Maybe all of the electives could have a secondary effect. Say, taking grass makes it easier to win gardening related contests that the gardening club hosts. Maybe fighting increases your stamina, and allows you to do 1 extra thing a day. What does everyone think the secondary abilities could be? Here are my suggestions: Normal - Lucky - You get more pokeyen after battles Flying - Eagle Eye - Perception +5 Poison - Walking Pokecenter - You've been poisoned so much, you've gotten really good at curing it. Able to craft antidotes and other curative items in spare time. Ground - Toph - Able to detect pokemon when not expecting it (when pokemon are underground, when there's one hanging around the dorms, etc) Rock - Tough - Do not suffer penalties from pulling an all-nighter Bug - Scientist - Your studious nature makes it more likely to pass exams. One incorrect choice for questions on exams is removed Ghost - Calm Mind - With all the experience you have with tricky ghost moves, you can't be confused overwhelmed, or flustered. When given a choice, one "bad" choice will not appear Steel - Full Metal - +5 Dedication Water - Beautiful - +5 appeal Grass - Green Thumb - +1 To all gardening related tasks (including flower arrangements) Electric - Amped! - +5 expression Psychic - Telepathy - When searching for pokemon, be given a short list of the pokemon that can be encountered, and pick one to encounter Ice - Let It Go - The cold doesn't bother you anyway. Can participate in one extra outdoor activity in winter Fire - Some Like It Hot - Can participate in one extra outdoor activity in Summer Fighting - Stamina - 1 extra action per day Dragon - Intense - Training gives +x experience Dark - Bad Egg - Join Team Rocket Fairy - Friendly - +x chance to catch pokemon. Or, +x additional pokemon happiness (if happiness is a mechanic in this game) per day |

Your idea is interesting, but it would be difficult tomake in game. So I don't think they will ever put in. |

For Rock i'd have a better idea, there will be probably a gym in academy and if there is stat specifically for fitness, then make that stat bonus increased. I mean... Look at Bruno for god's sake, he is thick as a brick (see what i did there?). For Ground would be a better idea be able to detect rare pokemon more easily. On regular grassy field :15%. In caves or in the mountain: 25%. Other type of areas remained unchanged. Psychic would be better as an passive ability to see what choice up's relationship of who. Since you would know what is on their mind. For Fire type and Ice type would be neat if you had 5% power increase for Fire type and Ice type moves on any pokemon, since both are offensive types. Dark, increase the bonus of studying when closer to the evening. And Fairy, bonus points in the relationship for "correct" options. Again, just a suggestion, nothing more. Also, sorry for bad grammar. |

For dark, I'd say more of you have a chance to get away with pranks. (Small pranks being the easiest and large pranks almost always having something going wrong, both good and bad wise) |
