>Huge semi-open world that encourage exploration and taking different paths each time. Zelda BOTW style
>Minimal, non invasive plot. Something on the line of "become the pokémon master" and that's it. No stupid evil team and legendary pokemon going rampage like GEN III to VII, something more akin the first two. No, scratch that, even less plot.
>total dex retcon: they introduce 198 new mons brigning the total to 1000, fix the type chart, the abilitydex, the movedex, every line has type, stats, ability and moveset fixed, reworked, balanced, at least so that there is a niche for every line. Crossgen evolution is back big time and megas are definitely abolished with many of them being retconned in canon evolutions.
