Questions concerning the villians like Ganondorf

In my fanfic, Sinnoh and Hyrule will be threatened by villians like Ganondorf and other villians. Now, how do you think I would have Ganondorf threaten the region as recently his minions overtook Jubilife City? Also, I added my own evil group and I would like to do a Neo Team Galactic too. How do you think I should do this? Perhaps the heros could fight the zelda bosses like Volvagia, Morpha, Bongo Bongo, Twinrova, Phantom Ganon, Gohma, and other Zelda bosses that are in Ganon's army?
 
At first I thought I was perhaps being overly critical. But now I see that you really must be unintelligent, because this is the third post you've made in the last week asking for other people to basically write your story. Use yourbrain, or ask one thing.

I am going to assume that you have actually played Zelda before and know what Ganondorf's usual modus operandi is. Do something like that, if you really can't think of an idea.
 
I see you are again asking other people to essentially come up with ideas for you to effectively justify the use of some bizarre plot element. I've already posted a more elaborate response to that specific issue, among others, but since you took it down rather than responding adequately, I'll copy and paste it.

Thirdly, what you have done in your post is to hastily and carelessly string together information from your fic with minimum elaboration and no concern for ease of communication, before posing extremely broad, vague questions about how to improve your fic. This makes it difficult to understand you in the first place, but even phrased with clarity, is still essentially demanding that other people do the majority of the work involved in the discourse. It may have been unintentional, but that does not - in my view - excuse it. That very kind of thoughtlessness borders on being inconsiderate. I'm sure you want to come across as intelligent and communicative, rather than rude and obtuse, so I suggest you spend more time proofing your posts in the future.

The implications of this are numerous, as I'm sure you can see after a moment's reflection. Regardless, this is not an irreparable issue. I recommend the acquisition of a grammar checking program or website. These resources are easily accessible online. I hope they are of help to you.

Please, do not expect other people to do all your thinking for you. It implies creative bankruptcy.

As for Ganondorf invading Sinnoh specifically: Give us details! Why is he there? How is he there? What does he want? Only then can we possibly begin to suggest something sure to be relevant.

If you really want my opinion on how he could conquer Sinnoh: I don't believe he could. Seriously, Sinnoh is a nation populated entirely by people who own incredibly powerful trained creatures with lethal abilities. I cannot conceive of a valid method for Gandondorf to oppose the Elite Four or even a single notable trainer like the protagonists whose roles we players take on.
 
What unrepetant said. I would recommend you come with your own ideas, before asking for alternatives to those ideas - what you're doing now is basically taking a general concept and asking us to fill in all the things you (seemingly) haven't thought of yet.

I do not mean to be rude - but it is hard to give concise ideas to this -> you're asking us to try and fill a bottomless pit. I'll rather ask questions, to which you can yourself try and find relevant answers:
- Why would he want to invade Sinnoh?
- How can he plausibly do it? As uA points out, it's unlikely he'll be able to. His dark forces are constantly beat by a kid with a wooden sword, and he himself beat by that kid when wielding a magical sword. Kids with their own magical monsters? I think you can see yourself how that will go. Of course, you could give them pokemon-like abilities, or have ganondorf control pokemon for his evil army.
- How did he get there? What is the justified link between the two world that makes this possible? It's important to have a relevancy here, readers will want to know how he got there.
- What will this new evil team of yours actually do? Isn't ganondorf and his evil minions enough?
- Who will the hero(es) be? Link? Pokemon trainers?

- If you're having trouble finding your own ideas, do a brainstorming session, use flowcharts. Google for tips as to how to get inspiration. A writer is nothing without it, taking a general concept (1) and then have others fill in details A, B, C...Y, Z will only make the story half yours. As I said, if you make your own ideas A, B, C... (NOT the concept itself) and then ask us to find alternatives to those already-existing ideas, it's easier, because it's more narrow for us to look at. Right now you're at a phase in the planning process where asking others is nothing but unfortunate.

I'm sorry if I seem rude, but finding your own ideas is as integral to the process of writing as the writing itself - it's how you make the story yours ;) I hope the questions I asked may guide you at least somewhat.
 
My spin on things... Ganondorf is the reincarnation of an evil Emboar in human form. Seriously, is it just me or does anyone else see the resemblance between Emboar and the pig form of Ganon?!
