Make it bigger and not linear. Don't care if it's 2D or 3D, just make it bigger.
You can't cram 800 pokemans into one region, this is wrong and it makes me extremely tired when I beat each new game. There's no point on completing the pokedex if you're stuck in a tiny ass region and you're forced to trade hundreds of pokes. Just make collecting them fun again.
You can traverse the world more or less freely and face gym leaders in different order, the areas, trainers and leaders scale their levels depending on your progress.
Start with a new region and add a couple more after you beat the game, Kanto, Johto, Unova, whatever with their endemic pokemon. Then, months later progressively add the rest of the regions as free DLC.
These regions are new adventures and you're forced to build a new team to beat them, once you do, you can use the rest of pokeman from the other regions.
When you beat every region you get a Grand Master League and some Pokemon Stadium challenges where you rent pokemon and face some gym leaders.
You get doduo and dodrio mode.
Make IV and EVs and breeding less of a chore or at least make trading more flexible with more options and descriptions.
