perfect MP3 player:

take an ipod with video. get rid of the scroll wheel. put a combo tactile and touch cross on it. turn the screen sidways and make it a bit larger. make the player matte black with shiny black accents.

stuff in wifi, USB 2.0 and USB otg, line out and line in, and bluetooth.

put in a 36 hour battery, user replacable.

put in a better OS.

have a standard connector for power.

have a dock with video in, video out (component, S video), RCA outs, RCA ins, etc.

have a good sync software. make the player able to share songs with other players via wifi, and able to play songs off of wifi based harddrives.

have bluetooth remote capability.

I had an idea for the ultimate pokemon video game. (Now, this is based on an xbox controller...unfortunately its the only one with the right amount of buttons)

Throw out the old "Pokemon Stadium" play style for a real, third person, real time battle system.

Encounters will run like Knights of the Old Rebublic. Enemies will be in place, in real time, much like Chrono Cross. When you get close enough to a wild pokemon or a trainer in the area, youll be asked if you want to encounter. And the battle begins.

Your right and left triggers are to select pokemon. Press the white button to call him/her out. Immediately his/her attacks are layed out in the top right of the screen in a cross pattern, representing the ABXY buttons on the controller. You take control of the pokemon as it moves, dodges, jumps with the click of the right trigger and locks on with the left, and attack using the four buttons.

If you want to call the pokemon back, press the black button. Press in the right thumbstick to access an item menu. Maneuver the menu with the right thumbstick so that you are still able to move with the left, dodging attacks. Select items to use with the a button, cancel with b.

If all your pokemon faint, you will be either 1) attacked yourself by the wild pokemon, and pass out, wake up in a PokeCenter, or 2) the trainer battle will end and youll have to go toa pokecenter.

Obviously this is just the control scheme, I havent tried making a story.

^ I was thinking of an online based Pokemon game, MMORPG style where trainers can meet anywhere and fight anytime or trade Pokemon, items such as TMs, and stones etc.

I've been working on designing a game called Survival of the Fittest. It would be a problem-solving game in which the player is dropped into a potentially fatal situation, generally in the wild (e.g. the desert or the rainforest) with minimal items, and then must survive for a period of time with the items at his disposal (i.e. sticks, berries, other things found lying around).

Ideally, almost every item would be usable with other items—e.g. one could use a rock to crush berries into a paste, or use a leaf as a makeshift bandage. Naturally it's quite difficult to define realistic objects and realistic interactions between them, but if implemented properly it would make for a fun game.

I always did want Dash boots, like what Mega Man has.

Dude, I always thought that mp3's should have replacable-rechargable batteries, that'd be so awesome. You'd never have to worry about your mp3 lasting for only a day, cuz you'd have the other one charged up
