I've played it. It's alright. They insist on using the d20 system, which is pretty terribad, and some of the conversions are a bit lazy and don't take into account changed usefulness between the move in game and the move on paper. Also, there's too many trainer classes that are "I'm a trainer that can use Pokemon moves... and that's it." Also, level means next to squat- in fact, you're expected as the GM to overlevel all encounters or else they'll be too easy. My one gym battle, everybody I had was between levels 16-24, and I managed to take out Chuck's Primeape and Poliwrath, which were statted at 55.

Link if you're interested.

Another group on /tg/ is working on a Legend of Zelda rpg, since all that has is a shitty d20 conversion Link (no pun intended): http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Legend_of_Zelda_RPG

That said, I'd like to see a Shin Megami Tensei RPG.

It's strange hearing this. When I was a kid, it was the other way around. We were all clamoring for our favorite table-top/trading card games to be turned into video games.

As I said in the beginning:
* MegaTen - basically an all-encompassing RPG system based on all derivatives of the MegaTen franchise (Shin Megami Tensei, Majin Tensei, Persona, Last Bible, et al)

I still want a Legend of the Five Rings video game.

However, since a lot of P&P games have been adapted for better or worse (several Shadowrun games, two Vampire the Masquerade games, a few Call of Cthulhu games, a small mountain of D&D games, and a Hunter: The Reckoning game), and I think tabletop is becoming more mainstream.
