An entire overhaul of the franchise.
>Create an Open World, you can visit any towns in any order, routes are still existent but have diverging paths, caves, etc.
>Time of Day, Weather and Seasons play a huge role and alter the environment, this also impacts which Pokémon appear in routes areas (seasons are weekly, so you can have replay value on top of it).
>Include equipment that can help add to the exploration of the world (water wingies to swim on your own without your Pokemon, mountain gear to climb ledges to skip going longer routes, ability to dig up soil to set up for berry farming, etc).
>include item crafting so you can make the items you need with recipes, and even without the recipes you can still craft the items you want with resources you have, including those apricorn Poke Balls
>revamp Evolution methods by creating alternatives to Trade Evolutions
>Pokemon can carry two items in main game, perhaps competitive
>You can carry a team of 7, but one is a Partner Pokemon who follows you around
>emphasize on double battles in game
>give trainers unique perks that impact their Pokemon's performance in game as well (Psychics will immediately apply a Special Attack or Evasion increase on their teams for example)
>broaden what Weather does in game (Sandstorm reduces accuracy, Sun does damage now as well, Rain slows, etc.)
There is so much that can be done to improve the games.
