>step 1
get it as far away from the dumpster fire that is the mainline games as possible. mainline pokemon is a lost cause far beyond fixing.
>step 2
center the gameplay around how your pokemon interact with the environment instead of being glorified cockfighters. I propose doing this by making it an action adventure with mild rpg elements akin to fallout rather than a full on rpg
>step 3
set it in a dystopian world that encourages exploration instead of a boring sterile utopia devoid of interesting world building potential
>step 4
plot is centered around the origins of pokemon. instead of being created by god they were initially lab experiments for new tools that would assist in environmental, agricultural and military development for mankind. things eventually went wrong and the pokemon attained sentience and almost brought their oppressors to extinction but now the humans have learned to take back control of some and use them to take the planet back from the new apex predator. its a plot that pays homage to pokemon's kaiju inspired roots while hard rebooting the franchise in new direction for older fans who can pretend gamefreak's garbage died with whatever gen they stopped at.
>step 5
to make all the prior steps possible, the dex is gonna need to be overhauled to actually make gameplay feasible and fit the setting. stuff like Porygon, Jynx, Sawk, Golurk, Incineroar etc that would feel very out of place in the game would have to be omittes
