This is my first thread in the new Relic Castle. Such an amazing overhaul and everything feels and looks better now. So I want to open a new discussion thread to kick off my return to the Pokemon fangame scene. I want to focus on a rather simple topic for you all and I'm excited to hear what your responses could be. The topic I want to focus on is what are your methods for brainstorming a new concept for a fangame, and how do you go about coming up with gameplay mechanics, story, and how you want the game to be?
