So a mosh posh of ideas I’d like to see in the offline/egg hatching
The offline campaign is so sparse. There is no exploration, no reason to hunt anything save a few mons with usable abilities. Hunter Island wasn’t deep by any means but by comparison it looks like a Great Lake versus a pond.
I crave puzzles, those sneaky tiles with hidden rare monsters. There seems to be no reason to me that every, or most every mon shouldn’t be in the game. Even if it is like a .5% chance of encountering a legendary with a 10% catch rate, that a 1 in a couple thousand chance to obtain. Super epics could be like 1% chance 20% catch rate. Or 1 in 200 odds.
- This gives us something to do outside of events.
- Adds excitement to hunting
- You can still have special legendaries only obtainable through eggs, or just put epics and super epics in game and leave legends in the eggs
I think there should be an in game side quest for a legendary, something like the infinite dungeon in HI, or something new completely. It could be the one legendary everyone can get. There should be side quests in general, I know it wouldn’t be too hard to add to the map, add a tavern where you can pick up quests for ingredients, gems, fruits, mons.
The focus of this game was clearly on the battle mechanics which are awesome, but it is time to add a little game with that battle system.
There are no good in game rewards. Nothing to strive for, other than the league battles and chapters, but that’s just battle after battle, mix it up a little. Give me an incentive to catch every mon in game. Maybe something like ocarinas from HI could be added which buff our monsters a little, or buff different elements. Something we can all find, and do quests to receive. But they would have many types so we could find strats to use a certain ocarina. Like a user passive almost.
The online play is pretty decent, but offline is barely a game it’s just walking on a path from battle to battle. And the battles are fun but there needs to be something more to keep us engaged in the offline, and when you are level 100 and finish the Super Battle Challenges in 15 minutes. This game could have incredible longevity with a few additions. If I was a Dev I’d want people to think it’s the best game in the App Store. Right now it is probably my favorite battle system I’ve seen, but I can’t help but feel like it’s missing something.

Choose our egg type? Here me out. Say you have the regular eggs, but an option to choose a legendary egg, but the catch is it has a low low incubation rate. In other words you roll a legend but there is only say 5-10% chance it hatches.
Am I off base here? What would you guys want for offline, if you had full control to make the game any way you wanted?
