2. The NatDex should at least be coded into every mainline game, there's no reason for it not to be, doubly so for the Switch 2 with its added storage and power. It's absolutely bullshit that any game ever cut it, especially when Home exists.
3. The champion of each region should absolutely be of the race of the country that the game's representing, even if Japs suck at that.
4. The only region gimmicks I like are Megas (though I wish they were heavily rebalanced and more widespread), and the IDEA of Z moves. Z moves were pretty cool in concept, but they were lazy as shit and really only made to sell those bracelets and the crystals as toys.
5. Turning Pokedexes into phones is dumb. I get WHY they did that, but it just lost a lot of sovl from the series, even if a few of the dexes were just "Gameboy you're playing the game on, but shaped a little different"
6. I hate that the anime's been slowly devolving into more generic anime tropes over time, like that straight-up no-joke mesugaki alongside the rest of the villains just being generic tropes, especially compared to Jessie and James, who I now miss greatly.
7. I hate that the main fanbase for Pokemon aren't even interested in the games or the media, and that all they care about is the merch. Those fuckin' consoomers are propping up a franchise that doesn't quite deserve it, buying literal billions of dollars of plushies and weird gimmick sleeping bags or "same plushie but black because ???"
>>57912397The problem there alongside stuff like StreetPass is that they're designed with Japan in mind, where everyone's crowding on trains getting a gazillion hits on their 10-minute train ride to some massive Pokemon event to get an event Pokemon and a fuckload of merch, some free.
