Get rid of the weird attachment to a strict 3 fire/water/grass starter gimmick
Experiment with protag morality and position in the world
get rid of context-less RPS combat in favor of more nuance (a bubble shouldn't do absurd damage to a giant fire creature)
get rid of the gay gimmicks (mega pokemon, z-moves etc)
And in a really deal world, have a handheld / console split where

The only way would be to buy out Gamefreak's shares and shift development to an in-house Nintendo team. With Gamefreak at the helm, it's simply impossible. They are a terrible company.

Oh, this is simple.

For anime, Ash wins Sinnoh League.
For games, HGSS is the last Pokemon game, the Sinjoh was a good way to explain the lore.

Five-year generations. Game Freak is seemingly slipping back to four after SV clearly needed more time, but extra breathing space for spin-offs would probably also be needed, not to mention there are probably more creatures coming out than what people can process with three-year cycles.

The time to fix it was over a decade ago. You may as well as ask how to perform CPR on a skeleton. It's dead. No shot of recovery.

On top of getting competent developers at Gamefreak, you would have to retcon the past 15 years of content. Then you would have to genocide the fucking retards who will unironically try to tell you that you're blinded by nostalgia if you point out how utterly fucking dipshit retarded designs like this are.

It's impossible to overstate how utterly fucking retarded modern fans of Pokemon. Picture the most pathetic, drooling, disgusting autist you can and multiply it by a thousand. That's what modern Pokemon fans are. And there are millions of them.

There is no fixing Pokemon without either genocide or a time machine. It was really fucking cool for a few years two decades ago. Now it's on the level of Roblox, Fortnite, Call of Duty, etc. We let retards take over gaming so now we can't have anything nice.

On PokeMMO they will stay with you for as long as you are logged in, and you are forced to accept battles until you lose, if you log out the legendary is removed from your party.

The point of legendary pokemon in PokeMMO is just to have them on the dex, the dogs and such can stay permanently, but those are low tier legendary pokemon so is ok.

I was disappointed with Sapphire when it came out and only played Soul silver since.
I just started Platinum yesterday, weirdly enjoying it. The music is better than I thought it'd be. I hate the GBA sound in general and the DS ain't much better, but the actual compositions are real good in this game.

By endlessly asking how you fix pokemon and listen to every single answer being shot down as it's "not what they're looking for", when reality the same people have an orgasm at the smallest increment of improvement the games have with the same people calling it "one of the biggest changes in pokemon."

I've been playing since Gen 1, and the only decent change made lately is the bottlecaps. Fuck anyone who tells you breeding before bottlecaps was tolerable, as they have stockholm syndrome from hatching literally thousands of eggs.

I know you're trolling, but there are people actually like this and it pisses me off. They'll shoot down any improvement suggestion made for the game, but the moment Game Freak puts it into a game its suddenly "one of the best things introduced to pokemon" and the faggots either gaslight you saying they "meant something else", "didn't mean it like that", "their implementation is different", or "I don't recall saying that." They deepthroat authority without having any critical thinking skills for themselves.
>>
They put Gardevoir into the Human-like egg group in Gen 8. They know who their audience is.
They don't need fixing because they've realized their market of both retarded kids who don't know what makes a good videogame and furfag brand loyalists will always and forever buy Pokemon games (twice + DLC) regardless of quality.

You don't. You demand their competitors raise their standards to pokemon's level instead of copping out with graphics.
Give me as many fucking Digimon and Demons as I have in a pokemon game.
If you're making dlc make it a fucking expansion instead of slapping like five new npcs for a boss battle across the existing map, tack on a new ending too for good measure.
Have some side content for replayability and multiplayer.

If you make the competitors better then pokemon has to improve too.

Move away from the one-shot gameplay.
I don't understand how people can find pokemon's gameplay interesting when you can sweep entire gyms or elite 4 with one pokemon spamming the same move.
>>
>>719463463
Anon, that's rpgs in general. The alternative is making war of attrition gameplay where you're just repeating the same action over and over again in complete safety until the boss, since normal enemies don't have the stat buffs, dies.
That's how Digimon does it and it fucking sucks.
>>
>>719463691
Just turn the game into a real time action game. In my head it sounds like it could be amazing with all the different animations for each pokemon and each attack, but it's obviously something gamefreak would never be able to accomplish.
The potential for pokemon games is insane, if they spent a fraction of the money they earn on merchandise on the budget for them.

Make it an actual adventure.
Loading screens aren't a bad thing. It also makes optimizing so much easier, open world sounds like a perfect fit for Pokemon before you forget you are playing Pokemon game.
For example Viridian Forest in gen Red&Blue or FR/LG, I'm using it as an example because most of anons who posts on Pokemon threads remembers it.
How on earth do you translate that kind of section to open world format? In SV it's hard to really remember places properly. You can *kinda* recall some areas generally and maybe the few landmarks, but they are failing horribly as there isn't real buildup nor proper transition from area to another. Towns/Cities especially suffer in open world design where you have to make everything run at the same time as the grand overworld etc. surrounding stuff.
Also having more linear/planned route let's you have impact on world, be it opening shortcuts with HM moves or such. With open world where you can go anywhere out of the bat(which is cool and all), you kinda have no barriers and no real progress. You don't really progress if you have access to everything already. Even in S/V there is intended order for gyms and stuff so what's the point? Yeah you can skip to the Ice-gym and get slapped around or powergrind it so everything else is easy in turn.
Nothing felt better than unlocking cut/rock smash/strength and being able to unlock a shortcut to previous area or remembering like "Oh wait, the starting town had that small lake...", going there, and finding a TM or something else. It should be basic stuff but many games to seem to forget that these days.
It is like building an obstacle course, or throwing obstacles around an open field.

While I would prefer Pokemon to be tile-based again in some fashion(some kind of X/Y hybrid maybe?), I think free form movement is here to stay to be more fun for everyone and because we don't """""need""""" to consider that kind of limitations of hardware.

One day, Ash was walk with Pikachu.

“I am not a strong enough for Pokemon World!” yell Ash, and Ash pull out a Gameshark.

“We shall use a cheatings and make of the stronger!” say Pikachu, as Ash typed the cheats into Gameshark.

Suddenly, Ash had all the Pokemon Badges and his Pokedex was full of all Pokemon!

“This is greatest!” yell Ash, jump up and down.

But suddenly, MissingNo jumped out from the trees.

“I am MissingNo…” say MissingNo, “AND I SHALL MAKE A MISSING FROM YOUR NUMBER!!!!!!!!”

And MissingNo grabbed Ash Gameshark and stamped it to the floor.

“I am borken and cannot make cheatings!” say Gameshark.

“YOU HAVE CHEATED AND I AM HERE TO STOP YOUR CHEATS!” yell MissingNo, and it attacked Ash with a binary data.

Pikachu made a laughing at Ash.

“DO YOU FIND AN AMUSING SITUATION!?!?!” and MissingNo threw binary at Pikachu too.

MissingNo made a laughing at them as they could not free the binary!

“And this shall teach you not to make a cheatings!” say a happy MissingNo, but then MissingNo realised it had been in the world too long!!!

“OH NO I HAVE BEEN IN THE WORLD TOO LONG AND MY GLITCH SHALL SPREAD TO THE CITY!” say MissingNo!

And so the city building walls to turn binary.

The people look as all there Pokemon turn to many gliches.

The glitch bugs danubed across the city.

MissingNo made numbers transform from the Calculator.

The numbers made their danube also.

“I have transformed the glitch!” yell MissingNo, as the city makes a bug.

>More visual polish. These games look ass even for Tendie system specs.
>Either tell better stories or don't focus on the narrative. Pokemon's story has never been it's strong point.
>Make the games harder: a drooling retard can beat these games with the first pokemon they get and with EXP share forced on, there's no need to experiment with other Pokemon; a bad impression for new players. Difficulty is why we sees people glaze ROM hacks constantly. At the very least have a difficulty setting.
>Have a regional dex at launch but overtime gradually add the missing mons. You could make a big deal out of it: "Here's all the Kanto mons along with gym leader rematches" for example. It would make Pokemon home actually worth it instead of being a fucking glorified museum of digital pets that you pay for.
>Less hand holding/iinterruptions; if we're going to have a rotom dex in newer games, let it being something the player has an option to refer to like pressing select can have Rotom dex say: "Aren't you suppose to meet the professor now?"

That's what I think the series needs. I would like to see a game which is kinda open world? Like Kanto but the player can go anywhere in any order so they have the freedom to build their team however they like. Also, maybe even a chrono trigger approach where there's a champion or even evil villain that you can challenge anytime but it's a hard fight if rushing straight there.

>>
>>719472006
Agree on visuals. I'm not in the "moves should make contact" boat but things like the infamous double kick animation are unforgivable. Besides Mario these games are supposed to be the flagship games of the console and from the biggest franchise in history. They can afford playtesters and some fucking optimisation.

I don't like your idea or being able to immediately fight the champion, as travelling around the region to collect badges is such an integral part of the setting.

What I'd ikea to see is actually an extension of the anime and fanworks. Collecting all the badges gets you into the annual conference tournament. Which would be a ladder against semi-randomised trainers. When you win that you "finish the game", but what that actually does is allow you to face the elite 4 and champion as part of the post game.
>>
If VGC is the official competitive format, then doubles should be the default for all trainer battles, and gym leaders should be bring 6 pick 4 doubles. At least past bage 3 or 4 where they start to have 4+ pokemon and the player can be reasonably expected to have that many too.

>which uses a Digimon World
Why do you people think that every non turn based style of gameplay is Digimon world?

Because it most resembles Digimon World 1/Next Order.
>>
>>719480460
You stand on the side and give orders to your Pokemon in real time is there a more similar game?
>>
>>719452026

Nothing needs to be fix. The people complaining about Pokemon don't play the games in the first place.

>go back to 2D
Not sure if it would be too much fun unless spritework would get a HUGE upgrade, above BW, but that also uses 3D so probably not what you meant
>kanto, johto, hoenn and sinnoh all combined in one game
A nice idea honestly, but could make the game SUPER long to play through. Also whole level scaling etc. without it turning into needing +80 lvl mons which most people wouldn't want to grind for. And if you made leveling up easier it would fuck up early game. And if you needed to balance whole xp system so you are getting levels steadily without too much grind then that would make it boring for people to grind 100lvl mons who like it.
Also if you don't change much, then old players instantly would know where to find what, and if you change too much it would not be the same regions.
>lots of dungeons and puzzles
Sure, but depends a lot. I would want more focus on mons and adventure instead. Also the changing too much thing would still hurt. Expanding Gen 1/2 games would be nice tho.
>built in randomiser options
No. This should be always community thing because official one would be too limiting to avoid "unintended effects". No way they are gonna make some random ESL Samuel's game unbeatable because he randomized accidentally mid-game to be a hard skillcheck with in-depth knowledge. Multiple saveslots would also fuck up the whole idea.

I kinda get what you mean but instead do
>2 games in one, one would be Kanto+Johto, second would be Hoenn+Sinnoh
>Extra areas for all games(finding a monk temple on top of mountain with a focus on psychic and fighting mons, makes it easier to "add in" without ruining existing design), as well as challenges for "Red battle" kind of things
>Bit more free range on starter pick, not only Fire, Grass, Water, but also Physic, Dark, Fighting
>Romance/Dating(fuck you(not like that) I want more character focus)
>More focus on taking care of your mons
>Graphics like BW but with better 3D. Not fucking Octopath bloom shit

>animate every Move accordingly for EVERY pokemon

Jesus Christ man. The games are unoptimized, bloated messes already.

Let's do some maths.
> There are 1025-1080 pokemon, depending on how you count regional forms, let's round down.
> Pokémon learn, on average, ~70 moves
> 70 * 1025 = 71750 pokemon/move combinations
>Assume each move getting animated for each Pokémon takes 1 hour of work
> 71750 hours of work
> A person working a 40 hour week does about 2000 hours a year
> Animating every move for every pokemon would take a team of 35 people a year to finish, if they did nothing else.
> The poor cunt who got assigned Smeargle kills themself

Un-mexify Ash

>>719482926
I love the spritework in Pokemon to bits but everytime I've seen someone try to attempt what Octopath did but with Pokemon it's just never looked great to me idk
>>
>>719483086
A gentooer is like a shiny genwunner: basically the same thing, but way rarer and finding one in the wild seems like an achievement.
>>
>>719483439
Technically every Pokemon has to have an animation for every move Zoroark can learn too because Zoroark can disguise as any Pokemon, and any Pokemon that can learn Mimic or other moves like that also have to animate for every move lel
>>
>>719483439
Like yeah, could the animations for moves be a little better and more flashy? Yes! But have one for every single move on every single Pokemon? That's a bit overboard.
>>
>>719452026
Make the gameplay less boring or spice up the turn based combat, make you micromanage more instead of
>op move op move support buff offense buff op move
Make the animations look more alive and independent for specific Pokémon
I dont think I ever cared about the story of Pokémon so maybe do something with that idk
And just to fuck with everyone I would add "gene molding" from monster hunter stories where you can make Pokémon completely different elements and I think it would be hilarious
>>
>>719483928
>But have one for every single move on every single Pokemon? That's a bit overboard.
And it's something that has to exist. Like this anon said >>719483696 for Zoroark since illusion doesn't change it's moveset and moves like Mimic, Metronome, Mirror Move etc.

You either have to bin those pokemon or make animations that every mon can slot into. And the latter is what every other monster tamer does so why are you expecting pokemon to take on such a massive amount of work?
>>
>>719452026
remove the turn based combat
>>
>>719452026
Needs more waifus
>>
>>719452429
>And in a really deal world, have a handheld / console split where
>handheld is for turn based
>console is for real-time combat
This would have been amazing in 2004 or even up until around 2015, but now this handheld/ console technology split is basically nonexistent. Maybe the closest implementation to this would be a phone version complementing the switch edition
>>
>>719484231
And replace it with...
>>
>ash's charmander evolves in season 1
>except suddenly theres an episode in season 2 where he's a charmander again
wtf
>>
Make pokemons look natural animals like first and second gen.
>>
>>719484451
Huh? Really? Which episode?
>>
Just make a game as good and mature as Gen 5

They retired ash last year, pic related is the new protag.
>>
>>719484572
This. We need more natural animals like Jynx, MrMime, Magnemite, Hitmontop, Onix
>>
>>719452026
Decanonize gens 8 and 9, and most of the pokemon in them, also ultra beasts. Release a fully 3D emerald remake with Alola as the postgame with the Battle Frontier in there. Remake X and Y or make Z with southern Kalos AND Galar as postgame. Make a game akin to those black gold white silver rumors but make a game that takes place in galar that replaces all the pokemon and characters with unova ones. Make only one pokemon generation per console from here on out but it must be of the highest possibly quality.
