>>20732644How about fuck it and ask GameFreak to make a Bethesda/Elder Scrolls like Pokemon Adventure? You control the pokemon for the most part and your Trainer is kinda piggybacking on you and.. or something. Combat would get weird with what I just said, a Skyrim like world. You throw the pokeball and then you gain control of said pokemon and your trainer just kinda follows along and the game reads your button input to "shout" commands.
An entire free roaming sandbox world with Pokemon, walking up to a cave inhabited by Ralts/Kirlias with a Gardevoir Matriarch at the end.. all captureable.
