>>32138807An open world mainline game where you can see firsthand the interactions of Pokemon with their environment, and at last not be limited on what Pokedex says; or at least wild battle mechanics that don't get in the middle of your overworld experience. That thing kills the immersion.
Funny thing is that such a game is guaranteed to become the console best seller, but Game Freak value much more quantity than quality; and they never ask for help to another studios to develop their games.
I would happily wait 3 years with no mainline games if this is done.
>>32141856Make every move usable in the overworld. Depending on the aggressiveness of the Pokemon, it would attack you on sight, attack you if provoked or flee; giving movements like Mean Look a much richer dynamic. It would also give some importance to the player's skills, stealth can be an important part of the game, by catching by surprise a Pokemon which tends to flee or giving you the upper hand by throwing a good first move against an aggressive Pokemon.
You'll always have a companion Pokemon by your side. Having it fainted would trigger the pseudo game over all mainline games have.
