I'm building it on pokemon essentials, really early stages so no one expect anything soon, im currently mapping the first area.

If you want to skip the context of what type of game this and just answer my question skip down to the question section.

The game synopsis:
The game follows the player, a boy who gets their first pokemon on a very small tropical region (currently unnamed, ill think of something), the region is beutiful and diverse with famous trainers from all over coming for vacation, the region is also known for its odd traditions and culture though the tourists don't seem to mind, the island seems to have an effect on its inhabitants that seems to lower their inhibitions. You can romance any of the girls in the region with dating sim mechanics you'd expect, the majority of the girls are cameos from the pokemon games but their are a few original characters like two of the players rivals, your mom and maybye a few more, idk. The region is also open ended and once I add all the areas in the region you can complete the gyms in any order. You can has sex with certain pokemon aswell, once your friendship is high enough with them and they are compatible with the player (basically if its a popular waifumon you'll probobly be compatable) you can have sex with them. Expect the pokemon cutscnenes to be rolled put slower with the updates though, the main focus is the player and the human girls of the island. The region as mentioned earlier is very small, this is to make it easier to go quickly from town to town without needing to worry about going through a bunch of routes and tall grass and make towns themselves mkre dense, most of the girls are going to stay in their town so your going to be going back and forth alot. For plot I don't think I'm going to keep any stakes to high, probobly no villain team unless I get a really good idea.

Question:
So about the starter pokemon and want to know what the actual players want:
The starters will be Fennekin, Sprigatito and Popplio. I feel like these three stars final evolutions like a lot of porn of them, so clearly theirs demand to fuck em, Primerinia needs you to stretch you imagination a bit but yeah i can see it.

My question is, do yall like this starter selection? Also from what I understand people find Braixen hotter than Delphox, so I'm kinda confused on what to do there, so here are my ideas:
A) change nothing, you get sex scenes with the starters once their full evolved and have max friendship.
B) make sex scenes for the middle evolutions aswell, not really a fan of this one since Sprigatito's mid evo is kinda boyish and Popplio's mid evo is kinda ugly also its twice the drawing work for characters that arnt even hot besides braixen
C) making fakemon regional varients of all the final evos, sorta like what pokemon legends did, with Meowscrada changing the least, Primernia getting a few more tweaks and Delphox getting a redesign. This one sounds kinda exciting but I wonder if people will get mad that their pokemon isn't accurate. By the way if I go this route its very important to me that the fakemon still look like pokemon that could actually appear in game instead of just pure waifu bait. In general I want my games to be good games by themselves even if you removed the sex with the sex scenes being bonuses.

Also if you have any questions, suggestions or criticisms for the game lemme know.

Nintendo has a *very* (and especially porn fan games).

In IP terms the rule of thumb is don't fuck with the Mouse and don't fuck with the Plumber. Out of the two, I would say the Plumber is more active against fan games.

Yeah as Droid said, Nintendo is very prone to shutting down fan games. They're also very actively against porn of their IPs, especially if money's being made off it.

Anyway to answer your questions, the choices for starters are good enough, but nothing's stopping you from not sticking to the fire, grass, and water trio. Some suggestions of mine are Charmander, Torchic, Snivy, Rowlet, Litten, Sobble, Scorbunny, and Fuecoco. For what to do about the first two stages, you can always go with more anthro designs for them.

I would not do this lineup, if you are making furry mons (female body version of pokemon) you can do any lineup you want probably a lore accurate one like charmander bulbasuar and squirtle would be good.

If you are doing cosplay mons (girls who aesthetically look like pokemon) which ones you pick matter even less and i would pick lore accurate fan favorites same as before, pikachu, evee, gen one starters, etc.

If you are leaving them as base pokemon (zoophilia) you have far more breedable choices then those ones :devilish:

The first thing I want to ask you: how exactly will a player play the game? In other words, what is the actual game? A pokemon clone with dating sim on top? Visual novel? RPG Maker something? For all intents and purposes, your synopsis says nothing about the game. What I can take from it is that it may have "dating sim mechanics", "open ended region", "pokemon cutscenes"

Second: will you do everything (art, programming, docs), or do you have someone to do the art or programming for you?

Third: Are you well aware of your own current skill level, and how much you might need to evolve (pun totally intended) for making this project come to life?
