Comment on Writing a Program in Pokemon Blue

Comments

I want a pokemon-type game with robots, where this isn't a cool trick, but a critical part of the game.

Hack'n'Slash[1] from Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight (where they spend 2 weeks prototyping a bunch of game ideas) is a little like that.

Something like Core War, but with more RPG (or possibly MOBA) elements?

Yes, similar. Also, the collectibility aspect is key to knowledge acquisition. Or, you could also go the Jade Cocoon route, which used genetic combination.
