Would a pokemon game without an evil team or "grand end of the world" story work? Like the story is more personalized and based on the rivals and such, maybe with like time based events or social events like hanging out with your rival.

What do you guys think?

I think sword and shield really highlighted the case for this kind of story. Personally I liked a lot of the character interactions on paper, and the Eternatus/Macro Cosmos stuff is the worst part of the game by a mile. Cutting all that nonsense out (and actually honing those character interactions a bit more) seems like it would be much more conducive to Game Freak’s “strengths.”

I would kill for a Pokémon game where the end goal isn't to defeat the league or stop the evil team but it's a slow burn, "journey not the destination" game that focuses on how you grow alongside your rivals and friends and the kinds of people you meet across your life and Pokémon journey.

Of course it would, the evil team thing is a cliché and a trope, not a necessity

I know you said without an evil team but T. Rocket is severely downplayed in GSC and that story comes off more like its about Silver, Red, and Eusine. Well, what little story there is.

Best parts of RSE are Brendan/May and their thing with Wally and Norman. Everything else is garbo.

Yes. Heck, in Gen 1, Team Rocket isn't an important part of your journey. It just creates obstacles that you end up having to deal with on the way from Point A (the beginning) to Point B (becoming champion). And that was good. No one thinks of Rocket as being too intrusive, because the journey is already so straightforward that taking the time off to occasionally beat up bad guys keeps things from getting TOO stale. On the other hand, a lot of these evil teams decide to hold up everything at a pivotal moment near the end in a way that makes you just want to get it over with.
