How do you think a game or story that combined the two would play out?

I think it would be a very interesting change from the usual tournament and battle business. Imagine a pokemon as the main character (lucario? floatzel?) in a haunted mansion, where he has to rescue a dear friend of his, who entered the mansion for some reason. But finding his friend is not that simple and once he does, escape won't be simple either.

Here's two videos of Alone in the Dark 3 gameplay (I could only find French):

Isn't this the same as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon?

Heck no. It's a whole different playing style.

You mean...a point-and-click adventure game... for Pokemon?

First off, I'm going to do thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis. *moves to Pokemon General*

Second off, I'm going to do thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.

A point-and-click investigative Pokemon spinoff wouldn't really be all that great. If that's all you do in it, that basically defeats the purpose of Pokemon: even PMD and games like PokePark have some sort of battling/collecting/minigame elements.

I disagree for three reasons.

1: If you look carefully at the character's movements, you'll see that it's controlled by a keyboard, not clicks, therefore, it's not a point-and-click game.

2: If you look carefully, the character in the game DOES fight. There will be self-defense in the hypothetical game. The character also collects items if you watched the video.

3: The whole point of the game is to be DIFFERENT from the usual Pokemon game. That involves how the game is played.

Different ain't necessarily good. Pokemon tends to be aimed for kids. Im guessing a game like that would tend to be either to confusing or simply not hold there attention.

Its just to different from the regular genre being turn based RPGs.

That would be like putting Cooking Mama in a gun game. Would not fit. =w= Maybe a fan made one would be good, but main genre would be just to odd. I wouldn't get it.

It's still an investigative adventure game. The only difference is it isn't a point-and-click scheme.
