It should be a top-down dungeon crawler and look like an updated gen 4 game, Japan-based region is a must, traditional catch mechanics (no GO trash), a minimum of 90 new pokemon without regional varients or crossgen evolutions, no megas z-moves, or dynamax, ONE rival that treats you like a rival, a challenging level curve unlike GSC/HGSS, decent A.I or added difficulties so that the game has some challenge to it, open map with No silly "we're dancing for no reason" blocked off towns or HMs like rock smash being needed outside of caves, HMs limited to fly, surf, strength, and rock smash with the later two being used for puzzles only, team rocket as evil team with no plans to destroy the world just being the pokemon mafia, and of course, secret bases return.
