>>50887434Pokemon is the main game. The mini games make it all the more fun, you dingus. Didn't you ever enjoy playing the slots or playing roulette? Wouldn't you like to see Nintendo and Game Freak take it 100 steps further, and make Pokemon so fun and engaging, that it's replay value is priceless? Imagine playing a game you really enjoyed for the next ten years, like tf2 for instance. While they're completely different games and franchises, they've both been around and are extremely successful even to this day. Pokémon could have fun things to do in the game, just like Tf2 does, by letting the community add their own cool things, like fashion for the trainer, or cool personalized products like cars planes or hovercraft, or what about more hobby activities? It could be like stardew valley, where you can not only go fishing, but also search for treasure, search underground tunnels hidden to the player until you find them, you could playfight/wrestle certain types of Pokémon, there could be legit kendo or dojo fights between trainers to get their color belts from white to 3rd degree black, what about playing with collectable toys, and what of doing stuff in your cool secret base you make using the TM, secret Power? You could have a sleepover with your trainer friends and Pokémon.
And how about this, what if you could have a relationship with your rival, or maybe a more developed NPC whom you can get to know on dates to a museum or at a breakfast café, or at a picnic, or cuddled in blankets under the stars?
This could be Pokémon in the next 20 years, changing the formula a little bit, while making it wonderfully wholesome, and with tons of extra features for the main game, and again, Replay value.
You could even make your own little town, turning Pokémon into a life sim is such a cool idea, to adults playing Pokémon who were fans back in the day, where trainers grow up and inspire new trainers.
