>>54726097>The games should be all DoublesYou're right, that is cringe. Instead, trainer battles should be 3v3, and wild battles a range between 1 and 8, with boss Pokemon blocking paths like old Snorlax and Sudowoodo but they can 2-shot your party and have 4k HP, as if Pokemon were a real RPG. They should have bosses that force you to use Tail Whip and Growl and Howl.
The level cap should be raised above 100, with stats up to 999 (HP 9999), and new game+ like Tales of games where you spend grade. Pokemon should earn 5th and 6th move slots and learn any moves their parent has like in DQM. There should be postgame dungeons that are impossible without a 2x XP modifier from NG+. They should add stat seeds that permanently Attack, Speed, etc like in DQ so you could theoretically have a maxed out Sunkern if it's your favorite monster (and you're autistic enough to grind seeds). Held items should include equipment, and different species should have different gear compatibility (imagine how fun it would be to navigate caves or dive underwater again with HMs if there was ACTUAL useful treasure to find).
Basically, Pokemon ought to be a real JRPG instead of the half-assed trash it is. It was easy to excuse its weaknesses on the Game Boy but by the DS era it should've evolved.
Also, any attempt to "balance" for competitive balance is retarded. If you don't care about single player, exploration, story, etc why even waste money on games when you could simulate battles online for free?
>>54726191Mega evolution IS a new thing, faggot. And Game Freak has made it abundantly clear they cannot into 3D. There's no reason not to demand a return to 2D.
