>>46151172Here's honestly what I think:
I think the game will have some rideable/follow Pokemon, but it will be limited to only a few, namely the starters and some of the more popular Gen 4 mons like Lucario, Abomasnow, and Buizel (as well as all of the ones that were able to follow you in Let's Go)
The distortion world will make a comeback but it'll be used as a way for Max Raid battles to return, not explorable until the final battle with Giratina in which it will be a lot more limited than the original version.
There will probably be a battle frontier given how bad the response to ORAS was in that regard, but it won't be as expansive as it used to be. Mostly a half measure to please the fans.
There won't be DLC but a free Arceus update will happen a month or two after release to add a 2-ish hour story to the game similar to the Delta episode.
Visuals similar to SwSh but with the original grid-based environments of the DS releases.
The safari zone will be a shrunken version of the wild area.
The underground will be turned into battle mode similar to the one added with the Crown Tundra DLC, if not copy-pasted.
