>>30060131Single player-wise?
-A game with graphics on par or better looking than Wario Land: Shake It or Pokken Tournament.
-A story that's mostly light-hearted and doesn't take itself too seriously until it needs to. No melodrama; just bad guys doing bad guy stuff even if some think that's boring.
-Options to skip tutorial stuff like how to catch a pokemon and a steady difficulty curve.
-Breeding materials being available by midgame and all battle items being available in some form by E4.
-At least quarter the regional dex contains new mons with high encounter rates and older pokemon that were common last gen being rare.
-Postgame content having a sidequest where you catch most, if not all Legendaries. Except there's an actual story to it with a few cameos helping you.
-A battle "facility" where previous champions/Important NPCs/MCs are just hanging out in an alley or hotel or anywhere really and there's a Battle format of the day featuring stuff like Singles, Doubles, Triples, Battle Royal, etc.
-Talking to different characters here lets you change the rules similar to the rules Emerald Battle Frontier or whatever else.
-Keep shit like Habitat lists, PokeRadar, and Dexnav
