>>33149559I was thinking about this the other day (and meant to start a thread, but I didn't) and honestly, revamp the region by giving it larger cities/more cities, then connect the cities using routes (starting on 50+ so you can have a Route 66), remove shadow Pokemon, do what
>>33149573 said and focus on double battles, have wild Pokemon on routes, make a bandit themed team that rides into town with Ponyta/Rapidash, turn Mt. Battle into a Battle Frontier-esque place or the place to connect to the internet to play, give it the modern art style as opposed to Genius Sorority, and bam, you've got a Switch game with a ton of hype surrounding it because it's Orre. Have many of the Orre Pokemon be Unova Pokemon to establish that Poke-America has these Pokemon (plus a lot fit in to Orre, like Klinklang, Conkeldurr, Krookodile) and maybe have new starters and legendaries that are great in doubles (nothing else new). Also this game would give a good excuse to have events and distributions for Jirachi and Celebi (and actually do in-game events unlike the shit we've had recently). I think that if GameFreak is doing this whole universe reset thing that they've been doing with Mega Stones, they may as well take a shot at Orre since there's so much untapped potential with that region. And while I'm at it, it's closer to Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh than Unova is, so I don't even see how it could be a faraway place anymore.
