>>57337677>Either do 3D right, or go back to 2D>Open world is cringe, just do away with "forced" roadblocks and go back to linear. Maybe bring back HM's b-b-but I don't want an HM slave tough luck>No more regional variants. Stop. We don't need 2 variations of every single monster. Create original monsters.>No more DLCShould be self-explanatory. I know brainlets think DLC favors them over 3rd versions, but what they fail to realize is that purchasing DLC adds nothing to the re-sell value of the game (since you'll be re-setting the system for privacy reasons anyways so the DLC will be lost for the new user) and you essentially lose money since at the end of the day you only have one game to sell instead of two.
>NO. MORE. SPIN-OFF. CONNECTIVITY.That means.
>No Pokemon Go>No Legends Arceus/Z-AEtc. Stop making us play these shitty spin-offs in order to get certain elusive monsters.
>Cut connectivity with Gen 8/9Very important. It's criminal that in order to get access to some of the most powercrept and powerful monsters like the ugly Water/Dark or Fighting/Dark Sword/Shield DLC legendary with the broken anti-Protect ability you have to buy not only an old, awful game like S/S, you also have to buy the DLC (perhaps both of the DLC). Cut off these games and pretend they don't exist. Speaking of not existing...
>Cleanse the PokeDexA great reset is very much needed. There are not only too many Pokemon, the powercreep has also gotten out of hand especially in recent games like Scarlet/Violet. I'm looking at monsters like Dondozo, Gholdengo the stupid powercreep Primeape evolution, etc. Just get rid of them. Get rid of all the monsters from Gen 8 and 9, and filter some from previous generations as well.
Anyways I think Pokemon as a series peaked a long time ago and at this point it just sells based on hype and advertisement. The games are awful compared to what they used to be, but it's so easy to sell a product with a name like Pokemon hence why there's 0 effort.
