>>32097401>Make each island at least twice as largeAgreed, except I feel like Akala and Ula'ula island were big enough
>Give it Hoenn-level map design with exploration and hidden areasThat's Sinnoh you're thinking of
>More and bigger citiesMore, yes, but the cities were plenty big.
>Optional water routes with ruins and shit between each island100% agreed
>Military base on one of the islandsSure I guess
>And make the roads go to reasonable locations, there's no logic behind them and it makes you wonder how the fuck cars even get on themNever really bothered me, but sure, why not.
I'd also add:
Bring back Gyms. You can keep the trials, but have two Gyms per island. They've already got Hau for Melemele, Nanu and Molayne for Ula'ula, and Hapu for Poni. Plus they could even throw in Ryuki and/or Guzma in the mix there too.
Expand the Battle Tree into PWT and take other steps to bring BW2 level endgame.
Give us a rival like Blue or Silver or even Hugh.
