It's aged too well for people to care. HOWEVER, I present to you, Pokemon Legends: Zygarde
>Kalos has 12 feudal lords who feature as main characters/gym leaders
>There are no Pokeballs, instead, in reference to Japan's middle ages stagnation, it is revealed that Pokemon can be stored in armour with slightly more advanced technology resembling the crossbow
>Game takes place with you as a vassal to one of the Lords (and quickly become an honourary hedge knight when it is revealed you can expertly battle Pokemon because Kalos only views them as tools/weapons; your Lord is the closest to King AZ, who wishes the region to usher in an era resembling the Magna Carta, where commoners can live freely; this is why he likes your Lord
>Your Lord is a peaceful scholar type, a gentle man who does not want war and believes Pokemon are not weapons but are friends, and that some day men will have them as such
>The villagers distrust him because his father was a severe man and warlord, and therefore constantly scoff at you when you do sidequests for them and do not use Pokemon as tools and weapons
>War eventually breaks out, as Lysandre's ancestor wishes to usurp the King
>AZ goes slowly more insane after his right hand man and warring Lord who is his cousin (who is an ancestor of Lysandre, which explains why AZ remembers Team Flare) kills his Floette, becoming a Mad King and the Ultimate Weapon is fired, and you need to stop him from himself and stop him from resurrecting Floette
>You don't, and Floette is disgusted, and AZ is cursed to wander forever
>Your job in the game is to build castles and lands/bases for your Lord which can influence wild Pokemon in the region and to settle warring fiefdom disputes in Pokemon battles
>Eventually your Lord is killed in the crossfire of the war, and Xerneas' tears revive him, before cursing AZ
>You can ride Mudsdale and Ponyta
>You can customise and build your own armour and Pokeball weapons and have your own PokeKnight's sigil
