Read carefully.
>Generation 8 is delayed to 2028, and you are physically unable to partake in the franchise in any capacity until then.
>Every generation thereafter takes 12 years to release, and features no more than 70 new Pokémon (this includes regional forms)
>A main title, a spinoff, and a remake occur every fourth year. Generation 4 remakes occur in 2032, Mystery Dungeon in 2036, etc.
In exchange...
>GameFreak now employs at least three times the amount of staff, all with the talent needed to ensure that player feedback is addressed and acted upon. Pokémon will now always feature a high degree of AAA polish rivaling that of other major studio's offerings. Every feature you can realistically imagine is either brought back or implemented; high-fidelity graphics/models/animations, improved online capabilities, follower Pokémon, detailed open world environments with ease, (optional) real-time battles that play well... the list goes on. Your dreams essentially come true.
>Competitive is easier to get into and is given a complete overhaul through changes to stats, abilities, movepools, and the type chart. "Shitmon" soon becomes an antiquated term. Much more Pokémon are viable than ever before.
>New Pokémon designs are rather favorable.
>Battle gimmicks exclusive to certain Pokémon are forever scrapped due to no longer needing to exist.
TL;DR Gen 8+ become the best games in the series, but you must wait nine years without consuming ANY Pokémon media.
Now, let's hear what you have to say about this:
