I mean like, there's more options for using the terrain in fights. (I.e. being in a rocky area and having a pokemon throw a boulder at an enemy.)
Or fighting dirty and using confusion on a trainer.
Basically, I feel like the anime is a good base for how open I want the game to be for the players.

A while back I had an idea for a mostly freeform Pokemon RPG type game. So, I decided to make this thread to get ideas or hear concerns or ideas about what should or should not be in the game. As of now I have a few concrete things planned for the game.

First of all, I want the game to be more like the anime rather than the actual pokemon games though if something from the games isn't contested by the anime or someone runs it by me and I approve it, the game's rulings can take precedence.
Second, I have brought the idea up to someone else and they brought up the concern of starting pokemon. This of course is a valid concern because I don't want people starting with something really powerful or something that turns really powerful early on. So I'm going to offer a group of Starting pokemon early in the game to combat this.
Finally I already have some idea for the plot and location, but I'm not adverse to people offering other ideas.

"I'd never say that in front of Senija, she kind of scares me. But face it Tomik, You had a fucking building collapse on you and I was stabbed multiple times before being dragged off. We were dead."

"I never said I didn't realize that he outclassed me."

"... Well, we could have done something last time. Man's a mage, they're notorious for their weakness."

I think Adragis considered one at some point.
