You can argue the specifics of implementation, but randomization is the future of gaming and should be a mainstay in Pokemon. I'm serious. Look at all the randomized romhacks for classic games. Look at how roguelike elements are finding their way into every genre.
I'm playing through a randomized run of Colosseum and this is the most fun I've had with Pokemon single player in years. The challenge. The thrills. It's like I'm playing Red for the first time. Fans need to speak up. The days of story focused linear cutscene fests are over. These types of games aren't replayable. They're barely games. If you can get the same experience from watching a stream or let's play, then your "game" isn't a game. It's worthless.
Good games are about the players. Fuck the devs and their "vision."
