You'd also need some good writers and story tellers who want to tell a more centered story around an actual protagonist who has personality. I know Lucas is mute for the majority of the game, but he emotes throughout the narrative and they also gave him an actual character even though he's a silent protag. Pokemon is very self insert based so they made the protag not only a silent protag, but also very unemotional and not really the focus so to speak. Pokemon games aren't really about the journey, characters, and morals its strictly about catching magical monsters and beating up everything so you can win the league and stop some evil guys along the way.
So all in all, ... no. Not main game wise at least, they could probably pull it off in a side game though, like Pokemon mystery dungeon would be perfect for this.
