Ok, so you're allowed to come up with two major changes to the pokemon franchise as a whole. However, only one can be actual gameplay, i.e. new ability(s)/move(s)/type. The other one is purely an aesthetic or cosmetic difference, despite being a big change.

Shinies are now not as much of a thing, instead pokemon can now have about 10 different color schemes, within reason of course so you won't be seeing fucking black and red sceptiles running around. While there's a standard color scheme, there's also one that's more rare that's sort of like shinies. Picture a scale of like 8 different colors between a pokemon's normal and shiny color and you've got what I'm talking about.
As for gameplay, it's less wordy. Remove IVs, and pokemon can now have two natures.
These two things now make it so your pokemon can be wholly different and individual without them being garbage if you decide you want to use your story team bro in competitive in the end game.
