Board Thread:Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time/@comment-25452257-20150512011625

Hello! I have been playing the Plants vs. Zombies series for almost 5 years, and one thing that always dissapointed me is the lack of Plant-to-Plant interaction. PopCap did have some interaction, like Peashooter to Torchwood, and now Blover to Dandielion, but there needs to be more. Don't get me wrong, the games are AMAZING! I just feel like there needs to be a little more spice thrown into the second game (Possibly for the Lost City update). Anyway, here are some of my ideas!

Before you read the concepts, there is one attribute you must know about :

Heat-Meter : Just something that has special effects on the plants when it gets high / low enough

Open-flame plant to Kernel-Pult

This one is quite a simple idea, and has also been shown to happen in a trailer for the Kung-Fu world.(Video Here ) If a Kernel-Pult is planted next to an open-flame plant, it starts adding to its Heat-Meter, then it pops into buttery popcorn. Basically a slightly stronger re-textured Cabbage-pult Plant Food ability that freezes the zombies like they were hit with butter. Now, this seems quite overpowered in and of itself, so a few downsides have been made.

(1) It takes about 20-30 seconds for the Kernel-Pult's Heat-Meter to heat up enough to explode.

(2) During the heat-up time, it can not attack.

(3) If Plant Food is used during this heat-up time, the timer resets.

(4) Once it unleashes its popcorney explosion, the Kernel Pult is left in an empty husk form where it can not fire, but Plant Food brings it back to its normal state.

[WARNING : NEW PLANT IDEA] Open-flame plant to Snow Pea, Peashooter and Fire Peashooter (With help from Heat Pea and Heat-Bean)

This one is a little more complex : Snow Peas, Peashooters and Fire Peashooters can have a new attribute that only activates when a Heat-Bean is planted on it. When the Heat-Bean is planted on one of these shooters, it becomes a Heat Pea. When the Heat Pea is planted near an open-flame plant and Plant Food is used on it, it raises the Heat Pea's Heat-Meter, leveling up from Snow Pea, to Peashooter, to Fire Peashooter. I can't really think of any major downsides to it, except that the Heat-Bean could be a pre/gemium plant, and the Heat-Pea wouldn't be a plant you could pick from the plant selection area (It's just an added attribute. I only refered to it being a new plant to make it easier to understand.)

I have more ideas, but I just don't have the time to write down all the details. Here are the quick overviews :

Chili Bean gas explodes like a Cherry Bomb when it hits an open-flame plant, rendering it useless for 20-30 seconds.

Potato Mine activates twice as fast when it is near an open-flame plant.

Magnifiying Grass splits apart other Magnifying Grass beams into 3 directions, forward, diagonal up and diagonal down, halving the damage it does everytime.

OR

Magnifiying Grass multiplies the damage other Magnifiying Grass beams, but it costs 25 more sun every Mag. Grass it goes through.

Sweet Potatoes Plant Food doubles the speed of the Plant Fire rate in it's range.
