Hi everyone,
I’m working on a personal project inspired by a Tamagotchi-style experience, based on Pikachu’s mood system from Pokémon Yellow.
The idea is that your Pikachu builds a friendship level with you based on your real-life activity. So far, the app includes:
– Pedometer: if you hit your step goal several days in a row, your friendship level increases
– Feeding
– Playing
– Giving medicine (if you miss your goals for several days, Pikachu gets sick)
As the friendship level increases, Pikachu’s appearance and expressions change to reflect its mood and how close it feels to you (using the same assets form Pokémon yellow).
I want it to feel like a mix between taking care of a virtual pet and motivating yourself to stay active in real life.
Before I keep building, I’d love to get some feedback:
– What features would you like to see in an app like this?
– What would make you actually use it every day?
– Would you add things like minigames, customization, events, etc.?
– Would you want a deeper progression system (levels, evolutions, achievements)?
Any feedback is welcome, even if you think the idea has flaws
