Benefits of making an Original game?

....None...  ::)

Seriously thou, I will assume you mean making an original game with original assets etc. 

PROS.

- Freedom of Creativity, not being bound to an existing IP
- Personal Reward, it can be a lot more fun and rewarding working on an original idea.
- Potential for Profit, original games could potentially be sold.


CONS.

- Burden of creating/obtaining assets (sprites, music, sfx, etc.)
- Massive amounts of time needed to do everything....

(IF COMMERCIAL PROJECT)
- MONEY
- Licensing (a lot of information must be tracked if you are using creative commons material)
- Distribution/Delivery
- Advertising...
- Social Media....
- Piracy.....

 
For the cons that Beastie listed, that's a problem when one works solo in creating everything and needing stuff that are not from other people's work. 2 people may not be enough unless they both are (somewhat) quick, hardworking, skillful, and patient in time. I might be wrong on this, but I think recruiting people skillful with graphic designs, sound effects, sprites, etc., would be helpful, yet, difficult to find. That's a problem when it comes to finding people for help on doing designs and stuff while you code. There are sometimes when some people will be busy with their own situations and it might be difficult when the project will be finished.

We need a team to make but the problem is, we don't know who we are going to pick based on our interests.
 
I agree with Beastie on Pros and Cons except for the advertising part which is also problem if the game weren't commercial too

Hmm... I'm planning an original game myself but still choosing best game idea from so many ideas in my head
