Game Preview 2: Collect a Plushy!

Note: If you haven't read them, go check out our other Game Previews! The first one will give you a sense of what's gonna happen in this series.

 Above image shows an in development experience. We have no guarantee that this will be the final style. Any information found in this post is unfinished, as in the contents of this post and announcements in this post can change at any time during the development process of this experience.

Today's game: Collect a Plushy!

You know Pokémon? Yeah, you know what I mean. We all love the catch-em-all experience and the battles, but isn't it a little cost-inefficient? Pokémon Scarlet and Violet each cost $79.99 CAD or $80 CAD. The Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Double Pack costs $159.99 CAD or $160 CAD. That's DOUBLE the price of both games. And what for? To catch digital pets and send them into battle. Twice. There IS Pokémon GO on the App Store and the Google Play Store and it's free, but, especially in Winter or when there's lots of snow, I don't think people will enjoy playing a game that requires you to go outside just to do the same thing you can pay for for $80 CAD or $160 CAD at your house. There's also Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon: Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, but let's be real, all of these basically cost the same as Scarlet and Violet. That's where we come in!

Imagine your average Pokémon experience, but instead of playing it on your console, you play it on ANY device that has a web browser and a way to store text notes. Yes, that does mean you could almost play this on your Nintendo 3DS, or how I prefer playing them... a New Nintendo 2DS XL. I did bother writing that on a blog post and saying it in my mind. Anyways, point is the idea is that you surf around social media and also the internet and (if posted by us) you could find a link to a website wherein you can get a plushy. It'll have 7 stats and a couple of attacks. You will add it to a file stored on your computer. It can have any name, but it must be in TXT (Windows Notepad), RTF (Microsoft WordPad), MD (Markdown, any system) or PDF (Any system) format. Be careful, once you find a plushy but you already have the same plushy in your plushy list, if you choose to keep the new plushy the old plushy must be removed from your list.

Every once in a while, we'll be hosting a Plushy Tournament! You will be able to sign up by commenting on the blog post that announces the next Plushy Tournament. Therefore, this blog post does not count. In the Plushy Tournaments, you send one of your plushies in battle against a random opponent. The two of you will use the Comments section of the blog post that will be released right after the announcement post to battle. The way it will work is one of the players will post a comment and say in the comment the Blogger username of the opponent. The two of you will use the attacks that the plushy you chose has provided. It'll be just like a Pokémon battle.


So that's all we got now. We'll post on the blog when Collect a Plushy! will be ready for release. Until then, be patient, and yes, the next Rolling Quest Game Preview is coming.
