>>18702568This is where they should improve now, the wild.
Battles are already pretty advanced, they can try to balance it or add 100 new mons every gen, they have already created different types of battles and all.
The aspect that has more potential is the journey.
The problem is that they delete cool things. You could mistake pokeballs with Foongus in gen V, that's cool, yes. It also rains, which affects battles or let's Sligoo evolve. Cool. But why did they delete seasons? Routes accessible only when the winter snow is high. Why did they delete Gold/Silver 's day/night Pokémon? That way they are just making the exploration simpler and linear.
Pidgetottos eat Caterpies, right? Why can't , when you fight a Caterpie, suddenly a Pidgeotto enter the battle, and they will attack each other like Seviper/Zangoose do? Or a butterfree enters to defend it?
There is room for a lot of ideas like these but they are too shy adding them. And worse of all, they delete them.
Pokémon nests, secret bases, more terrains like dirt and snow affecting differently depending on the Pokémon you have, RIDING POKEMON, some are quicker, some don't get tired, some can climb mountains... Man, lots of mechanics come to my head
