>>35323766ok anon, here you go: all of your ideas have NOTHING to do with pokemon, like at all.
neither do ANY of them have much to do with how the CORE battle system of the game works.
you just want open world because "that is the cool thing games do" but we all know that a small team like gamefreak would just deliver us a shallow experience if they focused on a feature the core audience doesn't want.
basically your ideas are /v/ tier ideas, you want to add boring shit from other games to a game that is not about that.
we like linear because gamefreak has done it well in games like platinum, B/W2 and HGSS, even if USUM is not for everyone's tastes, going full retard and ditching what gamefreak ALREADY DID WELL (platinum, B/W2, HGSS) Risks directing the game's appeal to what is NOT the core audience (casuals who probaly only played gen 1)
this might result in MORE sales, but it will hurt the core audience, which is what we are.
we want new pokemon, new moves, new abilities, new music themes, new characters and new mechanics (like megaevo or Z-moves), not dumb shit like stats on clothes or "quests", or even worse, "open world".
