The Achavela Project - a proposal for free, Pokemon-style game

Someone had to come up with this, right?

Basically, it's an open game project that would create a *mon-style game. Just as it was done with Super Mario Bros (→ Super Tux).

You can read about the whole project here: http://ompldr.org/vNmJzZA/

I lol'd at the file being a .odt. xD

Silly OpenOffice plugin doesn't even work, now I need to wget it :/

Sounds like a neat project, there really should be more F/OSS games suitable for all ages (Ultimate Tux Racer and Super Tux come to mind immediately). I was never really a big fan of the Pokemon games or television show, but I really like the idea of using the FSF mascots in a super-boss type role, and these characters seem perfect for promoting F/OSS software to children. For those who don't know about it, there's a sweet list of mascots at http://www.fsf.org/working-together/gang/.

Update: I just posted this proposal at Ubuntu Forums. Link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1635084
