I'd like to see a Kanto game set in the near future, with development taking place. I actually made a simple map with my ideas on it. Here are some highlights.
- There's a section of Viridian Forest filled with stronger monsters that can't be accessed until you have access to Diglett's cave. It's called the Deep Viridian.
- Area north of Pewter City has a short route leading to some abandoned mine shafts. It's your introductory cave in the game.
- Mt. Moon Square has expanded and is now a full-blown town, with its own gym and everything.
- Area north of Cerulean is vastly expanded. In particular, Nugget Bridge terminates at a fork in the road. Going west leads to a snowy route which eventually leads to a winter-themed town. Going further west from there leads to a series of caves that terminate in Mt. Moon's peak. Going down waterfalls can be a quick way to travel back to My. Moon itself.
- The area east of Cerulean has a thriving boom-town that has sprung up since a newpower plant was opened. The Rock Tunnel has been turned into a thriving mining operation, filled with lots of mine carts and conveyor belts.
- In the area east of Bill's house is another new town. This is a sleepy fishing village that also serves as a fuel depot for the S.S. Anne. This is how you get to Vermillion City.
- The former Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town was destroyed by a fire after getting turned into a radio tower. Instead, there is now the Pokemon Catacombs, which link up to other underground locations in the game, namely Saffron's sewers and the old Rocket base under Celadon.
- Saffron has vastly expanded and the routes leading directly into it have all been urbanized. The path leading to Cerulean is now home to a contest hall, the road leading to Celadon now leads to a massive park, the road leading to Lavender is now Saffron's historical district and also home to the city's university, and the route leading to Vermillion is now all factories and warehouses.
