I've often thought that The Legend of Zelda and Kirby just seem perfect for Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi style spinoff games, but eh, there are plenty of other cool options there too.
So, which of these would you went to see RPGs based on?
I never really thought about how in Paper Mario, people are so familiar with Mario enemies that they instantaneously know what they're going to do even without using tattle. Like if you're fighting a dry bones or boo, even if it's your first time fighting them, you just know they're going to revive or turn invisible. That also makes me think maybe something like Zelda or Kirby would work just fine
Just imagine seeing a cuccoo run up onto the stage, and then being like "ok, don't attack him" and then having to avoid using attacks that hit multiple enemies
