>Masuda has decided that the current combat mechanics are stale and wants to make some changes to Pokemon's combat system, without straying too far from Pokemon's identity.
>He has put (You) in charge of the design.

What changes (big or small) do you make?
What new mechanics (if any) would you introduce?
Pic semi-related.

No more RNG.
Damage rolls are gone. Stronger moves no longer have low accuracy, and instead have other drawbacks.
Sleep and freeze last for a fixed number of turns, confusion just makes you take recoil from every attack, and paralysis, in addition to lowering your speed, prevents you from using attacks above a certain BP.
Now every battle will be decided by skill.

I'd bring back inverse battles and triple/rotation battles. Those were fun as fuck and added more strategy. I'd add more terrains too, and make the battlefield more dynamic. Using a move like surf would create flooded terrain for example, which would slow down all non-water, -flying types, or pokemon with levitate. If you used a move like heat wave while on grassy terrain, it would creaty fiery terrain that would deal damage to all pokemon for a 2 turns, then it'd go back to normal.

I would unironically play something like that, but instead of modern weapons I want it to have bows and crossbows.

imagine a monster hunter style game that you play as a pokemon to hunt and capture pokemon, switching them out as you go or evolving them as you hunt stronger and stronger pokemon, ultimately going up against legendaries

No more Pokemon.
Instead, you catch humans and force them to fight for you.
And they have to say their names over and over again.

I remove the Levitate ability and the ground immunity of the flying type. Instead, i add a 'hovering' variable to every pokémon species, which determines if it can fly or not. All Pokémon that can hover can learn Fly and are immune to attacks that target the ground. Yes, because now moves also have an attack range. Some moves like Earthquake specifically affect pokémon connected to the ground, while moves like Bonemerang can also hit hovering pokémon.

Place every battle on a gride like in PMD,every attack has a range and you need to place yourself correctly for it to hit the enemy.

Good going. You inadvertently warped everything because of your change to paralysis. Think about it; if the status condition prevents moves above a certain BP threshold from being used, then you should always try to inflict paralysis quickly to stop your opponent from using actually powerful moves. If you can turn off high damage moves, then it's going to be even harder to break through tanky Pokemon than ever. To get around this, you need to have Toxic or something as a back-up, or pack Pokemon who can remove status effects. It just goes on and on and on.

What's cringe about prefering older weapons? It's just a matter of tastes.

Final Fantasy style real-time charge bars instead of turns. More powerful attacks take a bit longer to charge. Speed now effects how quickly the bar charges rather than deciding initiative. Sleep lasts only until the sleeping pokemon is hit again, paralysis slows charge bars down but can wear off if the battle drags on too long, freeze totally stops pokemon, but the ice adds a defensive buff and does not last for long. Poison, hail, sandstorm, burns, and trapping attacks like Fire Spin have damage procs every 10 seconds. Confusion and infatuation stay the same. Move limits are raised from 4 to 6. I think this would make battling more complex and urgent.
