A solo adventure. One with just you, your Pokemon and the occasional rival encounter. I don't want any fucking "friends" forced on me again after Gens 6 and 7.
Less story. About as much story Gens 1 and 2 have.
No handholding. If anyone needs any handholding in fucking Pokemon of all things then at least make that shit optional.
Bigger routes and dungeons. And less linear progression overall. I want to get lost in these games and discover shit for myself instead of being railroaded into it.
Real unlikely but Kalos postgame.
