>>45796170>Pokemon should focus more on the world and exploration than the battles for singleplayer.I agree.
Pokemon would work so nicely on a sort of "Breath of the Wild" open world, the best things about Pokemon are the world and the creatures, I think that allowing more stuff that play around that would make for a more enjoyable game.
X/Y had a good idea with the whole "pet and interact with your mon", there should be that but amped up, allow the player to ride some, to walk with them, feed them, interact with them, and make their personalities reflect outside of a stat increase or decrease.
I wouldn't even mind if a lot of pokemon have to be cut out because of this, it'll be an undestandable sacrifice in order to make a game more engaging.
