Pokémon & Mario Crossover?

[Gioku]

What would a Pokémon & Mario Crossover game be like? (I'm not counting SSMB, as that's not just Mario and Pokémon.)

In case you were wondering where I got this idea from, I had a strange dream the other night that Mario & Luigi were somehow Pokémon! As a side question, what would that be like? How would it work? Would other Mario characters (Like Bowser) make good Pokémon? (Even though it sounds ridiculous!)

To answer my own question:
A Pokémon & Mario crossover would be awesome!!! My two favorite Nintendo franchises in one! I'm not sure how it would work (Maybe you could play as a Mario Character instead of a trainer? How cool would it be to see Mario sending out Pokémon?)
As for Mario as a Pokémon.... that's pretty bizarre, but I think Bowser might make a cool Legendary!

Pokémon main series games are mainly RPGs and there are some Mario RPGs which the 2 main series are the Mario and Luigi series and the Paper Mario series. I would want Mario characters in their forms of those series. I don't think it would be good for the Mario characters to be pokémon. I think the Mario characters should be trainers catching and training the pokémon. Maybe you should play as Mario and the NPCs could be Luigi or Wario as the rival, Peach be the nurses in the pokémon centres, Toad being the event delivery people or shop owners in the Poké Marts, Toadsworth being the Professor and other good main characters as gym leaders and Bowser being the leader of and evil team with other evil characters being grunts or people like Sages, Executives or Admins.

Sorry, games not to do with Pokemon (and this counts as it's a cross-over) belong in the Entertainment Inc. forum.

I'll move it there acordingly.

I've thought of a Mario/Pokemon crossover taking place on either Sinnoh or Johto depending on which version. It'll use the core Pokemon gameplay but with the addition of Mario enemies acting as uncatchable wild Pokemon. The story involves Bowser stealing Pokemon to create an army of his own to rule the Mushroom Kingdom, and his koopalings (plus Bowser Junior) have taken over the gyms, so it's up to Lucas/Dawn or Ethan/Lyra to save the day. The Mario Bros. are there as support characters, big bosses like Petey Piranha will act like legendaries, and Bowser will act as the champion with 4 other big bosses as the Elite 4 (plus they won't use Pokemon).

There's already some kind of cross-over in HGSS

Look at Lyra's clothes. It resembles Mario's LOL

That actually sounds pretty good! I'm not sure about using enemies as non-catchable Pokémon, I think enemies could be used as Pokémon! Koopas and Bullet Bills are some good choices, I think (A Koopa could "evolve" into a Koopa Paratroopa, and Bullet Bill could "evolve" into a Banzai Bill). Just think of what Bullet Bill's Speed stat would be! And as for bosses, like Petey Piranha, they wouldn't necessarily need to use Pokémon or enemies against you, they could battle you as themselves!

I think Mario and Luigi could be like your friends in BW, showing up occasionally to battle or to help, or to give you a side mission.

I originally thought out Junior Troopa as your rival throughout the series. He and the koopalings will be the only characters who will use Pokemon while the big bosses use their own strength. Here are the types that will suit the koopalings:

Larry - Dark
Morton - Rock
Wendy - Water
Iggy - Grass
Roy - Ground
Lemmy - Ice
Ludwig - Flying
Bowser Jr. - Mix

I don't think it'd be a good idea. Mario would ruin a pokemon game in my opinion. Mario games have their own feel and pokemon games have their own feel. I just really don't think it's go over well.
