I’ll start
>you have a sibling that’s a prominent character (rival, gym leader, champion etc)
>your dad is the champion or villain
>professor is a villain or has more stake in the story
>rival thats actually your rival with his/her own journey and not just a cheerleader
>you have a personal reason to stop the evil team other than they’ll blow up the world if you don’t
>gym leaders with their own side quests that flesh them out
>more surprising creepy shit like the mansion in gen 4
>moments that make you feel like your bonding with your Pokémon rather than npcs telling you that you are
>to add to the point above things like pic related where you and your Pokémon can interact with the over world that isn’t story progression related
>optional lore to flesh out the world
>the unown actually being used in the main story
>the true antagonist is the main legendary and the villain team were actually the good guys
>Pokémon themes being turned on their head like in gen 5 with less it doesn’t matter cause it was bullshit I was making up all along so there is no moral dilemma.
>more “evil” Pokémon
>Pokémon guarding areas in the game like a secret meadow or sacred tree etc
I mainly posted story stuff but gameplay and Pokémon concepts also welcome.
