Play as an adult, choose 3 pokemon from a pool to start your team (one starter, other 2 are from a pool of pokemon that are kind of rare but not particularly powerful), no tutorial, protagonist isn't silent and has an actual personality.

Being able to talk to your pokemon would be neat too.

Trainer class that give you passive buffs and other bonuses. Bug Catchers could have a higher chance of encountering Rare forms of bug pokemon (HA, unique moves, etc).

I'd like to add, something that lets trainers fight in some way. The anime has shown that humans in that world are super strong, we should be able to deal some damage to pokemon or intercept attacks to save our pokemon every now and then.

The best you can hope for is an individual pokemon with this as its gimmick. I wouldn't dream of any company on earth being able to flesh such a mechanic out over an entire roster of nearly a thousand species, unless it was a text based game.

I want to be able to choose my trainer class and for it to actually matter. Like if I choose to be a bug catcher, I'll have an easier time raising bug pokemon, if I choose to be a breeder I'll have an easier time getting IVs, etc.

>>44261502
Also this, for aesthetics but also because I want cross-bred abilities.

This.
I wouldn't even care if there was no mechanical purpose to it.

A means to influence the effect stack that resolves every turn; not like in a way attributed to skills like Trick Room, but more skin to MTG interrupts or Yugioh handtraps: these can take any flavor form (i.e. trainers performing an action, pokemon exerting themselves on command, etc.), but they'd need to do things like boost upcoming moves during the next turn, affect statuses or priority, or possibly allow for a sort of "double turn." Ideally these instant effects would not consume move slots, have effects aligned with certain moves or types, and be balanced with limited uses per battle.

I'd like a better social aspect with pokemon, but I doubt that would ever be possible beyond what we have. You couldn't have any close relationship with a Pokemon in game considering there are no side quests related to the pokemon you have in your party, say like Persona games. I could see a romance thing being possible through some side quests for NPCs which could be people or pokemon.

>adds such a ridiculous amount of possibilities that designing fusions for even a few pokemon would completely distract from the creation of new pokemon
>diminishes the unique identity of each pokemon by blending them together, resulting in countless creatures identified by shared characteristics rather than by distinct individual designs
>original pokemon forms get overshadowed by more marketable or popular fusion variants
>thanks to the huge number of pokemon it'd be such a massively implausible mechanic that the only way to even include it would be to severely half-ass it
Fusion art is cute, but I'd never want it to be official

I want a decent story, is that a mechanic? lore?
If not I just want alternative playthrough option where you do contests instead.

I'd like the story to occasionally affect gameplay. Like for example having your team stolen and being forced to use other pokemon to get them back. Or having special battle conditions like having nearby enemies trying to harass your pokemon while you battle their ally. Like for instance when battling Marnie Team Yell could do small amount of damage to your pokemon by throwing things, or cause them to become confused by making enough noise.

That sounds great, imagine if they also gave small story changes depending on your answers to questions/if you win rival battles or not. It wouldn't have to be anything crazy just some slight changes to dialog or events.

Not even if we kept it down to egg groups and random chance?

And it's not like they can't spare the effort.

Well that might be an acceptable limitation, I still stand by the fact that it would take too much away from development of new pokemon and that it damages the series by diminishing each pokemon's unique design. Regional variants essentially accomplish the same appeal but with much more reasonable restraint and with more room for creativity.

Closer thing we might get is a single pokemon who's gimick are breeding forms based on other pokemon in his egg group
