I would have loved LGPE if it wasn't for the fucking GO mechanics.
As for ideal pokemon game, I'd just make Pokemon Stadium 3. The whole national dex can be used as long as you have a subscription to HOME. Gym leader castles that span the entire series, prize pokemon, a handful of minigames, free battle, the stadium, and regularly updated special event battles. That's all I need to be happy again because the main games sure as shit aren't going to do it for me anymore.
But to get the main series to be appealing to me again? I just want to go back to a normal ass pokemon league without the stakes being
planet buster pokemon gods rotting the earth it walks on or some shit. Like just give me a linear lap around the world map where I occasionally encounter special events or characters who are in trouble and need my help. I only want antagonists if they're street level thugs, I'm tired of comic-book tier villain organizations.
Gym Leaders being more involved in the plot like in Pokemon B/W would be a nice touch too. But I just want to go back to simplicity with better moment to moment dialogue.
I don't care how it looks but my ideal art style would go for hand drawn looks. Basically gen 5 but in HD so there's no weird pixel warping issues with the animations.
