>>54310856I have a potential solution to some of these issues. Again. Potentially. Hear me out:
>Pokémon gets Namco Bandai to release a brand new... Pokémon Stadium game. Their Pokémon Snap reboot did well, so, let's give Stadium a shot.>Like Battle Revolution before it, it is simply a battle simulator. No story, no routes, no world, just battlin'. Of course, the development would take awhile, giving all those Pokémon fresh new animations as well as adding back previously-cut moves and gimmicks, but it's an investment I'll get to later.>All Pokémon are included.When a new generation debuts, you don't need a whole new Stadium game, you just need to update what you've got, like Pokémon Home and Pokémon Go.
>All Pokémon are animated beautifully, just like in BR.>All GIMMICKS are included from previous generations.>All gimmicks are placed into "Cups." Alola Cup, Galar Cup, Paldea Cup, etc. >Maybe even an "Anything Goes" Cup so players can do what the Pokémon Journeys anime did where we saw Megas and Dynamaxes play off of one another.Now, here's the kicker:
The game is natively tied to Pokémon Home, allowing you to freely access your Pokémon Home boxes and bring any of your Pokémon into battles. This would incentivize more players to actually subscribe to the Home service and stay subscribed! The company investors will like that one. This game would be one that gets updated frequently with new cups, tournaments and contests, giving players a reason to keep coming back. It would be a very modern style of game, much in the style of Unite (except it's a game people actually care about) in this way.
This also gives the competitive scene an officially-sanctioned battle simulator that gives players the freedom to experiment and play online in various formats, but it ALSO gives the Pokémon company a much PRETTIER game to put on their competitive tournament circuits, driving hype and sales.
