>>52877112• no genderlocked character customization (all people get all clothes/hairstyles)
• you can change the color of clothes/eyes/hair to any color in the spectrum (think the Monster Hunter RGB sliders)
• you can cook any regional delicacy, you just have to learn the recipe first (pokeblocks, poffins, sandwiches, curry, ect. to give pokemon & your trainer a varied diet)
• food can give you shiny buffs, different foods attract different pokemon to the location you cook at like in SWSH
• stable overworld multiplayer (local & online co-op)
• some form of pokemon dens should stay
• some form of mass outbreaks should stay
• friendship mechanic with story NPCs that allows you to battle/travel with them as you please, friends can give you items to decorate base equivalent with and may gift you smaller gifts like berries & EXP candy (this would also give a good reason to keep something like the pokegear/rotom phone)
• make the phone equivalent work like an actual phone where you can just order items online and have them delivered to your base equivalent as well as allowing you to call trainers and ask for rematches/to hang out (this includes gym leaders and individual E4/battle frontier members)
• keep the customization option of phone cases, add phone charms (or allow things like the shiny charm to visibly display on your phone as a phone charm since that's what they are)
• add a way to obtain regional evos outside of that region via cooking regional foods (pancakes for alolachu type things!)
• no locked dex, all or nothing. home compatibility within months of launch
• let me pet my fucking pokemon. I like cleaning them up sometimes but I want to actively take care of them damn it, let me interact with my pokemon
