Why are people still hung up on this concept? Pokemon has turned into a behemoth of a franchise with nearly 1000 different monsters and 450+ moves. Even if the battling isn't as in depth as Pokken, it's still a fucking nightmare from a balance issue. How will moves work? How will movePOOLS work? Linoone can learn a fuckton of moves, how are you gonna balance it so it can use all of them? How will abilities work? Items? Mega Evolution or some other form change? How would someone control both Pokemon in a double battle? Or is that restricted to multiplayer?
There's so many variables because the series has grown so large, and it's only gotten this big because it was designed around being a turn based game. Open world? That's fucking stupid and I think what people want are non-linear games, but it could still happen. Terraforming the battle system and turning the already shitty balance on it's head because you want to mash the A button and pretend you're watching the anime? Fuck off.
