>>37551978Honestly, whst's the harm in trying to revisit old ideas and seeing if they can bring something new to the table? With things like that and Gen 3's "adding another party member slot", it'd do a lot to change how the games function instead of effectively being the same thing in a different paintjob and more dialogue.
And if it annoys purists so much, there'd still be a way to keep it separate. Gen 5's Launcher battles weren't the main course, after all.
