>>55813317>>HopesSome sort of subplot involving the UBs due to how Zygarde randomly got more attention in gen 7 than 6, possibly some new ones
Set in the present or near future rather than doing the isekai thing a second time
Abilities returning
Gen 6 eventmons available like the gen 4 ones were in PLA
Permanent complete form Zygarde
>>DreamsOnline multiplayer, particularly in a form similar to the one from gen 6.
Optional hard mode where npc trainers actually use mons with decent movesets and items and such, similar to the ones in the main games' postgame battle facilities
A large number of new regional forms and regular evolutions, rather than focusing purely on megas
Being able to transfer a decent number of mons that aren't available natively in the game (compared to PLA where you could only transfer the stuff you can catch in-game), undoing dexit and being able to transfer everything would be amazing but extremely unlikely.
Some sort of option to permanently mega-evolve certain mons, specifically the ones that are practically useless without it
>>ExpectationsSince megas are coming back that likely means hold items will as well
Rollerskates coming back as a gimmicky form of travel/exploration
Being set in a city means there will probably be a much larger focus on trainer battles
Either alpha pokemon returning or some sort of similar new gimmick
Megas for the gen 6 starters
