>Masuda is announced dead, causes are unknown
>investigations on his death reveal a massive sexual abuse/rape/sexism/racism whatever the fuck is going on with Blizzard but 10x worse
>90% of the people are fired on the spot, the majority are thrown in jail, some even commit seppuku due to great shame
>pokémon however is too big and profitable to disappear like that, so entirely new team is built from the ground up
>they need to make the games absolutely stunning and perfect for them to be able to recover from the situation and mantain their spot as number 1 franchise in the world
>fast forward 3 years of complete silence
>new pokemon game gets announced
>it's a massive game that includes the entire pokemon world, meaning all regions, all pokemon obtainable, all forms, megas, dynamax etc..
>is online, you actually see other trainers in the world around you and you can interact with them, can be "turned off" and it just hides other players and hides you from them, for the social retards that want to play everything solo
>every NPC is actually an NPC, not just a sprite standing still repeating the same line every time you interact with it
>nothing special really, just some basic AI routine would be enough for "random" trainers
>wild zones but good
>cities but actually cities not 4 houses and 1 pokecenter
>housing system
>good crafting system
>all/most important anime characters from all seasons are in the game as easter eggs or NPCs with different uses, I don't know maybe Iris could be a tutor for dragon moves or something
>pokegirls are romanceable, gotta appeal to the pedophiles (40 to 70% of the playerbase)
>single battles, double battles, triple battles, air battles,underwater battles
>real flying over the map, not just teleport
