Is it too much to ask for a game based on exploration?
I want to get immersed in the pokémon world, find alternative routes, new areas, using mons to dig new paths. I want to see how people and pokémon interact in different towns and cities, to see the environment change depending on what I do or wild pokémon do, I want interactions between species in the wild, I want to find eggs in the wild, Pidgeottos hunting Caterpies, Sevipers fighting Zangoose, overworld swarms and migrations.
I want to enter the pokémon world instead of set of hallways. I don't care for the story, the evil teams, the annoying friends or rivals, the shilled characters. Just exploration accompanied by postgame (battling facilitites, catching, training, breeding, etc your favs).
