>>51544645better stories (and better writing holy fuck swsh writing was terrible)
better dungeons/caves

remove friendly rivals
remove forced tutorials
better item management
higher quality of life features
better trainer customization
less gimmicks for a single gen that get forgotten
no reason for two versions anymore
fix the balance issues
give players more choice in the story instead of the illusion of it (it's called an ROLE PLAYING game for a reason don't just have yes and yes but funny that give you the same text)
change the 8 gym elite four evil team formula it was stale 10 years ago it sure as hell is stale now
make the post game actually good
streamline breeding/competitive
go back to sprites (because clearly you can't handle 3D much less HD unless Hal labs pulls your asses out of the fire)
don't make a mainline game every 2 years, cut back to every 5 years and take your time to make it actually good. (nobody's gonna forget the brand exists)
stop using regional forms as nostalga bait, it's just a lazy way to fill out the dex for that region instead of making something new that's actually cool, while were at it stop nostalga baiting for games aimed at kids who aren't old enough to know what your referencing anyway pick a fucking lane.
fire that dickhead for thinking ORAS was acceptable at all
