Did you know you can suggest your crossover without giant page disrupting pictures, Pokemon2? Because you can.

No More Flynn!
Malefor!
Spyro returns!
Only 20 Skylanders return!
2 new elements
NX Launch title
It'll have a singing boss voiced by Taylor Swift
No Kaos!
Glumshanks as a Skylander!
A soundtrack with songs sung by Sam Smith
Shock and Bolt returns

These are my non FNAF/Skylanders Crossover-related ideas I am reposting!

My list is short. I'd want two GAMES. Been calling for one for a while now....dust settling on PS4 and XBOne mean it is now time for

Skylanders HD

SAS, Giants, and SF on ONE disc, remastered to take advantage of both systems (maybe a Wii U port as well). In remastering the graphics and sounds, update the ROSTERS such that newer characters can be used on the older content (so swapping in SAS, I'll ALLOW IT!). Add a challenge mode where villains are swapped around and adjusted. Do a new Kaos mode *based on the old design but with the WHOLE cast of villains*. Game would come with a system specific variant from each entry...
XBOne - Crystal Green S1 Spyro, Crystal Green Jet Vac S1, Crystal Green Roller Brawl
PS4 - Same as XBone but crystal blue
Wii U - same as above but either red or yellow

Possibly add 3DS version of Swap Force to the Wii U version

-------------------------------

As for the 'new' game. As usual, skip the reposes (and yes the current game is half reposes in my eyes). I'm fine with the usuals/a few - but churn out some more originals. Do Skymiibos again (Kirby or Yoshi). Game play would lean more towards puzzles and combats...in fact the gimmick would be puzzles and brain teasers. Everyone wants to steal from Skylanders, they should do the same. LEgo Dimensions has combat and puzzles built around the portal, they should entertain taking that to the next level. Maybe like a 5x2 portal where each square represents an element. Certain task require you to match elements, so putting Gill Grunt on the 'light element' symbol would create lightning effects on his attacks, and that lightning could be required to short circuit a switch on the opposite side of a door by stepping in a puddle of water that goes from the door to the panel. Or maybe put Hot Dog on the 'Water Element' and it creates steam. The steam fills a balloon which raises a platform you're standing on. The combinations would extend to combat also, putting an earth type on air might make them attack and move much faster (RUSH DOWN BASH!), while air on earth would make air hit way harder. The gimmick landers would 'look' like cores, but would be multiple elements. A Fire and ice guy, a life to undead guy, etc. They would get the bonus that putting say a life/air on a life portal would treat them like "they are strong in this zone"...gain health slowly, hit harder, make more money, etc.

And to justify a raised cost, I'd give them the lightcore look. Say a Fire/Ice is a Squirrel, the toy would have one hand with crystal fire on it, *that lights up yellow lightcore style* and a ball of water around his other hand (that lights up blue). Everyone of the mix elements would be lightcore, but I'd keep the size relative to cores. I might also use the oppurtunity to bring back and modify some existing (similar to what they did with SSC). For instance, Prism Break is obviously earth/light. Sunburn could be 'fixed' as fire/life. Cynder could be Undead/Dark. I'd do changes to all of them design wise and power wise, just like in SSC, but I'd try to leave their look CLOSE to how it used to be. For instance, prism break is built around dropping crystals and shooting them with light, I'd entertain changing his slam to a teleport, where he changes to light and can bounce through the crystal, creating 3 of him for a few seconds. His figure would be less rock and more crystal (back to green/yellow) to showcase the split nature. Sunburn's attack fit the theme well but were just executed bad, rework them entirely in terms of how they work, but leave him conceptually the same...maybe changing his teleport into something closer to Sonic Boom's eggs - where he sprouts a clone of himself that if it lives long enough becomes the new Sunburn as the old one blows up after leaving a trail of fire (and heals himself).

I've said this before and i'll say it again. Make it more of an MMO feel to it. Add a few new Skylanders, maybe a couple of reposes but set up dugeons, ppv that you can play online with your friends. Imagine a living world where you and 4 of your friends could go and adventure together. Think of an Ice Zone/Level where you have to use Fire based figures, but the kicker if there is say 5 of you grouped in a dungeon you have to used different characters so its not a run of 5 Dro-bots. Or you have to have a Giant to finish the zone, so you have HotHead and 4 others. Then have a major PVP, each year build on that. Instead of a new game all together add a new Expansion instead of Gimic with some new skylanders to go with it. I think it would work great minus the 2 companies TFB and VV would have to work together. Just my opinion, but i think the base is there just have to expand on what is there not make something new.

Ok, that's a TERRIFIC idea, Unreall.
I'd suggest a manual way to tweak the "current Element" of the Portal instead of making it too big and gimmicky but... Wow it's a truly amazing concept!
It even fits the lore as far as I know since

Imagine all the possible elemental combinations with ALL the available characters!
Still wouldn't buy reposes (and yes, SuperChargers' roster is basically half reposes) but that would be an interesting twist in their movesets to see.

Lightcore could also work for Gimmicklanders but... I'm confident they would pull out an even better idea out of their magical hat.

Love this.

I personally want a soundtrack sung by Sam Smith because he would make the game soundtrack feel more believable another reason I want it is because I want a sad moment in the game where we could see Kaos cry and a Sam Smith song would add emotion to it as well.

A single singer isn't the only person that makes sad songs. And it would BREAK any sort of immersion like a good old dumb era Disney movie with those songs that had nothing to do with the setting.

IMO, they need to do either 1 of 2 things:

1) Create a game where they call it Skylanders: Ancients. The Ancient character themselves are the gimmick. Takes us to the time before all other Skylanders and Kaos where they took on the darkness the first time.

Or

2) Have a game called Skylanders Darkside. Where someone cases the Skylanders to become evil. And the only thing that could be done is Kaos reliving that he was meant to find along the Skylanders all along and save them. The bad guys are the skylanders and you can only use old Skylanders after you help Kaos defeat the evil keeping the skylanders in an evil state.

Idk, sounded good I though.

I'm the only one who don't like the idea of Villain figures? Like, I feel that only Skylanders can have figures (and the Magic Items/Vehicles and others), because, on a story point, only Skylanders can have figures. I prefer a expansion of the Trap use, with more Villains and other things.

Quote: Drawdler

^ Nope, you're not alone on that and it's another reason I don't like vehicles (never explained why they're frozen). If they made villain figures they'd probably only do the most popular (which would be disappointing) or have to make the entire lineup of figures based on villains (and having no new Skylanders would seem lazy, though it would be kinda cool having the villains with proper upgrades and such). Besides, I like the idea of tagging between Skylanders and complimentary villains better than just having the villains be more characters in the roster.

Yes, proper upgrades would be interesting, but not in a story standpoint.
Also, there's a explanation of the vehicles being frozen in the start of the game, but it's somewhat implicit:

Quote: Drawdler

It doesn't explain how he did it, though.

Well, he possibly

(Spoilers from SA)

Wow I forgot entirely about that.

Why do I have a feeling that all past toys wont be compatible in Skylanders6

Why do I have a feeling that all past toys wont be compatible in Skylanders6

That'd be shooting themselves in the foot to the max. Maybe SSA figures if they weren't made with a franchise in mind, but all other ones were around with it, and there are PLENTY of gimmicks to explore before you have to replace the NFC chips with something more powerful.

Quote: Dark Snap Shot

Why do I have a feeling that all past toys wont be compatible in Skylanders6

Because Activision told you they wouldn't want people to buy this new game?

If you mean stuff like adventure packs and vehicles, then sadly I would have to agree on that front... They'd either have to be demoted to Legendary Treasure status like what happened in Superchargers, or be downplayed to an extreme.

Quote: Dark Snap Shot

If it does, blame the people that keep endlessly complaining about reposes.

Reposes encourage backwards / forwards compatibility .

I think the only thing they encourage is buying characters we already have.

I'd like a new gimmick. What could they do to top what they've done, though? That's a tough one, but something I've always wanted was character creation. Bare with me... I'd like for the next gimmicklander to be a blank mannequin as a figure with nothing special at all, and maybe the pack would come with markers or stickers or whatever for you to personalize them. Let me explain! For every new Skylander (like how Trap Masters and Superchargers weren't the gimmicks), these ones would unlock things for your custom character. So your blank figure is the figure you customize, and the other Skylanders unlock you options. Let's say Hex and Pop Fizz return. As you play as the new versions of Hex and Pop Fizz, you'd unlock new options for upgrading your blanklander (such as Pop Fizz's body shape, color pallets from both characters, some accessories and clothes, as well as face options, and of course, attacks and elements). The way I describe it doesn't sound too appealing, but I feel if this were the gimmick and was handled carefully, it could really shine.

I would like to see Malefor come in as the new villain. I think he could really bring the series up a notch.

If we have to have guest characters, I want non-exclusive ones. It may just be a better idea to finally bring in Crash and act as though he's a guest. I can't be the only person waiting for Crash to join the game.

I'm waiting for Crash too.

They encourage backwards compatibility so much they aren't even playable on older games, this year.
If anything they might be the cause: you have the new and better versions of old Skylanders, so why brother playing as their old selves again...?

But seriously, reposes have 0 to do with forward compatibility and I'm pretty sure devs will work as hard as possible to make sure all our old Skylanders will be playable in future games.
Cloud might be a great option and they are already thinking about it according to some interviews, despite what Hermit could say about it.

Flynn is willing to literally fly into hell for you. The time we spent in the Arkeyan Copter won me over. The time in Trap Team where he braves all the anti-aircraft fire at great personal risk so you could take out the anti-aircraft guns convinced me he really is the best pilot in all skylands.

Boom.

Plush skylanders or sidekicks like plush Freddy and sparks as a skylander

I would like to see swimming like the first game again. Maybe even special areas that a water Skylander has to swim down to. And on that part, areas such as those but for Skylanders that can fly.

ooh, I like that idea! Maybe extreme heat or lava areas for fire Skylanders and underground areas for earth Skylanders? Wonder what the other 6 elements could do....definitely like the idea of a gameplay gimmick over a new gimmick involving new toys, so our old figures don't feel so arbitrary.

Exactly, that would be something I would love to see. It would increase the gameplay and add reasons to own a Skylanders from each element. It could be their new "gimmick." But we wouldn't need new gimmicklanders for these areas.

Absolutely agree.

Element specific abilities and gameplay mechanics would seriously bring this series to its true potential, I have no doubt about that.

Trap Team constantly brought up how villains can "redeem" themselves, so my idea is promoting them to actual Skylanders. It's not unfeasible, rehabilitation is a thing, and the villain quests show that the villains can be good guys.

More use of Elemental Powers would be great, but this don't exactly feels as a Gimmick. More of a gameplay change.

This is something I definitely want. Even for just the figures, really. I've wanted legitimate Skylanders figures of Chompy Mage, Pain-Yatta, and Wolfgang for a while now, as they really better than most Skylanders. I'd be very happy to have villains join as actual characters.

I understand your point, but I think that we need both game improving and innovation, that is the point of the gimmicks, and the reason why non-fans buy the new games.

Point taken, both together would be absolutely fabulous. If only their main focus wasn't the gimmick. If they added more to the gameplay while adding a gimmick then it would solve our problem.

I just want TFB to build off of Superchargers and not try to scale back to basics like they did with some of Trap Team's gameplay.

Haven't all the major villains gone straight back to villainy in SuperChargers? I feel like it's only the lesser villains (like Chill Bill) that have any chance of true redemption, since they weren't as evil in the first place.

I'm against the idea of villains' figures as it would ultimately defeat the concept of traps.
You can't have the same entity trapped inside a Traptanium shard and frozen in toy form.

I know SuperChargers already basically forgot that concept without really explaining why but... I sincerely hope it will be brought back in the future.

And I also personally don't think every game needs a toy/physical gimmick.
SA worked perfectly with his only "gimmick" being Skylanders themselves.
I'm sure another characters only game now and then wouldn't hurt.

Having the same entity in two toys is kinda null because SSSE now has Whisper Elf as an assist... Even if you're in co-op with the real deal.

But there is no Whisper Elf trapped inside a Traptanium shard.
Yes, you have Whisper Elf as a figure but you don't have another different toy type with her inside it.

That's why you can have multiple Gill Grunts and even play as two versions of him at the same time.
My own headcanon which doesn't absolutely want to be official consider figures as a way to call back Skylanders once they have been freed by placing them on the Portal for the first time.

But you can't use a figure to summon a character which is physically trapped inside (and not "tied to") an item because that's where he/she truly is.
