>>37829510I've always wanted a game that ditches the whole "simplified version of the real pokémon world" angle and turns routes into actual highways full of cars and overleveled trainers and other hazards that would force you into a big network of parallel trails and dirt roads that are full of lower leveled trainers, hidden landmarks/ruins/sites of interest and pokémon habitats where you'll be going to catch anything other than the shitmons that hide around the roads and trails. Could even have more research-oriented side quests and things that teach you more about pokémon and give us some real worldbuilding.
What we've got still works for now but god damn the whole kind of near-future-but-with-magic universe is so comfy and has tons of squandered potential. It doesn't deserve the shitty treatment it currently gets.
