>>36347920-have a protagonist that actually talks and have their own personality, like in the Final Fantasy games. i hate having a blank character, they say its immersive because its you, but it just fails at immersion.
-have the protagonist be an actual young adult not some kid, the kid idea is so overused. I at least want the protagonist who have their own story, (eg: a traveller who studies pokemon life and discover something and embarks on an adventure, etc.)-- and let them be young adults, like maybe Cynthia's age or steven's. not just some random new kid from the neighborhood receives pokemon from the professor and dominate the pokeuniverse.
-game world is dynamic, has a ingame time system like the harvestmoon games where different pokemon spawn in different areas depending on the time, (eg: clefables only spawns on lake areas during only a full moon midnight, 12 AM- 3 AM ) -- making them rare like they should be. grind system where you can grind for items such as evolve stones like shiny stones, etc. that also spawns depending on time, day and location using the in game time system.
i dont care about the game mechanic too much, what i want is good story, its what makes the game, lovable and memorable. good dialogue, dynamic character and world, this is what makes games immersive and has lots of replay value.
