How would you react if gamefreak for gen 9 made the new games based off a sort of Land of the Lost scenario, you end up on a continent where pokemon never evolved into their modern day counterparts, pokemon would be dinosaurs and prehistoric animals and some would be the ancestors of modern pokemon. Civilization would be small outposts and towns set up for scientific research (provide you with pokeballs and medical supplies) that lie on the coasts, as you go deeper in you get farther from civilization you come across native tribes who are still wary of outsiders they have a prehistoric version of pokeballs and the gym leaders would be chiefs or champions of the village.
