First off, thanks on all points!

I actually came up with this idea because I really enjoy the Pokemon universe, but I'm kind of disappointed, much like you were, that the games remain so mechanical. I wanted to make something that captures the kind of intense battling and adventure you see in the show, while still keeping some of the complexity from the games.

And no, I actually have no experience with SMT, although I've heard good things. That system might work for this.

Also, I've never quite thought of a Fire Emblem-style Pokemon game. I guess part of me has always just thought they wouldn't really match, since there are so many different Pokemon that they might not all fit into a formula with such a limited number of different units. I like it in theory, though. :)
