Kopemon Go! In KSP!

[ZooNamedGames]

I just had the wicked idea, would anyone want to see a mod implement Pokemon Go! within KSP? You would have to build up the infrastructure first so that you have connectivity through a satellite network, but once you do, the mechanics would be the same. The Pokemon will randomly spawn at set locations near a Kerbal and when you get close you use a GUI from the  plugin to catch it.

Maybe if enough people like it, we can create an online network for trading! 

Now in case there's some issue with this, I can create a Pokemon species spin off with original creatures to replace them just in case there's a legal issue but if I don't have to, I don't want to.

So tell me, what's everyone's thoughts on this?

(tbh I just gave a meme response for a meme post. I'd get a good laugh if someone actually made it)

Well, if we want motivation to build a satellite network of some kind, Antennae Range or Remote Tech tend to work well for that niche. As for the actual game (mini-game rather) I honestly doubt I'd spare the time and effort to capture them. For someone wanting a better reason to land on multiple spots besides science, Easter Eggs, and ISRU reasons, it might work for them. Personally, I've never been a fan of fetch quests which is more or less what this would boil down to.

Taking a 5km walk on Pokemon Go is a good exercise, and also gives me good chance to clear my head for thought and get fresh air. Taking a 5km walk/drive/flight/rocket hop while sitting at my desk on a game that's mostly waiting already is a bit too much for me. Since I play a career with life support, which means I have to make sure everyone stays alive, alongside making sure I have the money to launch my next rocket, so spending a rocket to snag a Kopemon on a place already well saturated with flags and descent stages wouldn't really happen. Heck, even if I didn't play a life support career, I probably still wouldn't use it because the engineering challenge of getting an E class to Laythe is more appealing than going someplace I've been to a billion times already just to get a congratulatory message.

TL;DR it wouldn't be a mod for me. It might be for someone else, but not me.

Yeah this wouldn't be a career mode mod, more sandbox.

Well apparently I'm the only one who would like this.

[ZooNamedGames]

Come on guys, we can make this a thing!

[SparkyFox]

YES! YES!! YES!! YES and YES in that order! MAKE IT HAPPEN OR I'LL INVADE EVE AND DECLARE WAR ON DUNA AND BLAME EELOO

 

Seriously, its a yes from me

Eh, either way I probably wouldn't use it. I do hope you find somebody willing to make the mod though. You and a couple of others seem to think its a good idea, so who am I to say it shouldn't happen?

 

That said, I feel like I should apologize if I came off as rude.

Of course you can. Tutorials on how to create a mod are available.

Yeah... I tried that and it didn't go so well :/ .

You didn't as you just gave the meme answer  .

WTH is going on with this pokemon phenomenon, I don't get it. How could a game with the depth of a cd burning program  minigame of the 90s be so popular?

It's because it's mixing collecting and the real world, a dangerous combination.

I think I would enjoy myself very much if someone were to make this mod a reality
