It well be cool if there was a Pokemon Pacman Mini game and you play as your pokemon and over players can play with you one can be pacman and the over players can be the ghosts and the game well be random the game well pick who is pacman and the overs well be ghosts but you well still look like your pokemon that you are playing as or you can play solo and there well be npc pokemon as the ghosts and if you want you can pick what pokemon they are.
While i get where you are going with that idea. Would it not be the same, if the people who want to chase “Pacman-Player” around as ghosts play “Tag”?
Look at it this way. The person playing Pacman has to get the highest score, while the Players who are Ghosts have to hunt him down before he can get a high enough score. Now other then several problems with playing 4 Player Ghosts VS 1 Player Pacman, namely how unfair it would be. Mostly because it’s 4 human beings against 1, instead of being 1 human being against a 4 computers. But yeah, other then that. I just don’t see the diffrence…
If you have a “Tag” game. You would have the same game style, namely “chase” one/multiple player/players like the Ghosts and “flee” from one/multiple player/players like Pacman.
So in the end you would have the same game type, but without it being unfair. Since it is much easier to have several people escape at the same time, while still not being impossible for them to be caught.
But yeah, that’s just my two cents…
