5 Things I want in the Pokemon Games 

Three Words Multiple Save Files.......... come on gamefreak it's been too damn long. At least 3 would be nice. I pick one guy and have a great adventure but feel like starting over but at the same time don't wanna loose all that data iv earned

ideal game: - all pokemon available without trading or wifi (gotta catch em all) - customize characters - choosing own path (ranger, team rocket, average trainer, but limited to maybe even teaching at academy [LOL]) - post game - no hms - RUNNING AWAY FROM BATTLES OH MY FREAKIN CRAP

"Sorry, there's a blackout. You can't go any further until it's fixed." *People are standing and walking around behind them*

I want a game where you are a wild pokemon and the goal of the game is to not get caught by the traveling trainers

I want in-battle evolution. If my Squirtle grew to lvl. 16 in the battle, and the if the npc has more pokemon to sent out, my Squirtle should have the chance to evolve in battle, just like in the anime.. Love it when Ash's Crabby evolved in battle and wrecked everything :)

what about a game that was set in the past with all of the fossil pokemon?

I like that you played the Pokemon mystery dungeon music when you where talking about good story.

Mr Buddy, how about, an actual Pokemon league tournament after earning 8 badges? The game generates 31 random trained with random Pokemon that are within 5 levels of your strongest pokemon (for example, if your strongest pkmn is lv. 60, all opponents pkmn levels would be between lv.55-65.). After becoming the league champ, you will be allowed to challenge the elite four. And remember how some trainers back in the indigo league had badges that ash didn't have? Obviously there were more than 8 gyms in kanto, so why not have 16 gyms in one region, and you have the option of defeating all 16 leaders or just 8 of them.

The problem with nonlinearity is that it conflicts with telling more complex stories, like you mention in the beginning. Stories _need_ a structure to them; you don't read a book by choosing random pages, or by skipping to random points in a movie. Even when narratives jump around in a timeline or perspective a lot, there's an author behind it carefully controlling what information the audience is exposed to in order to make the experience fun and interesting instead of boring or frustrating or nonsensical. Some stories can work by parcelling information in a scattered fashion, but those are almost exclusively postcircumstantial narratives; that is to say, they tell a story that already _happened_ and you're reading about, not something that's _happening at the moment_ that you're participating in (most games that tell stories through datalogues or items you find in theoretically random order do this, for example). There are a handful of ways to work around this, but they most require frankly unrealistic amounts of work. One is to rig the story so it works the same way no matter which path you take, which tends to make players feel like their choices don't matter, and also limits how you tell those stories. This is most realistic option, but is difficult to call truly nonlinear. Two, the story can drastically branch depending on the player's choice. This would be similar to another thing you wanted, telling separate stories based on a selected player identity. Funny thing is, this one is theoretically just as linear as the above- it just lets the player choose which linear path to take at some early point. This requires a lot of work, since you basically need to spend money and time on an entirely new storyline for every decision point, which means either the choices will be very limited or the budget will be hilariously overinflated.

Koffing as a starter? Fuck that.

why not just make pokemon like skyrim ·customise your character ·main story line is optional ·do whatever the fuck you want ·have different regions to go to ·have mini quests ·possibility to join one of the bad teams (team rocket, etc. etc.)

so pretty much for an of these you desire a console pokemon game. because theres NO way in hell the programming can fit on a DS cartridge.

i wanna catch em all, in one game, please, its the tag line of the bloody thing.

I also think your idea for a less linear pokemon game is over complicating things.There's no need to have pokemon level's adjust, but rather let the different areas have their different level ranges as they are. This would tie directly into what you were saying about the pokemon games not being difficult enough. Like any other RPG, wandering into an area where the enemy clearly has the upper hand would be a way to discourage you from traveling down an area that you shouldn't be going to. It's less heavy handed than "guys who block the way for no reason." But a determined player who insists on taking that route faces a higher challenge, giving you that increased difficulty you were asking for too. Because in the end, Pokemon was meant to make it where player choice decided their difficulty. LIke in Generation 1, where Charmander was hard mode because he was disadvantaged by most of the early gyms, whereas Bulbasaur was easy mode, because he was strong against them. So by letting the different routes have their level ranges, a player who chooses to go, say, to the fairy gym first, will find themselves faced with considerable difficulty compared to someone who went after the rock gym first. They'd probably have to level grind, or even visit the other routes to catch stronger, higher level pokemon.

I definitely agree with HMs being outdated. What I'd like instead to have Pokemon to already know the HM moves as a hidden ability. Example, water pokemon should already know how to "surf" without it being taught to them.

I just want them to stop taking out features. The feature in Black and White 2 with the whole build your own shopping space was interesting... Where is it? Dead. Different difficulties? Dead. Battle Frontier had all sorts of different ways to battle CPUs and I enjoyed the tweaked formulas. Oops sorry, dead. Pokewalker? Dead In game Pokemon apps that improved your overall quality of life? Dead. More than 8 badges? Dead. Which ironically the last 8 badges could be done in a way that they could break from linearity. Going back and forth between day and night cycles, gone. Why do they put all this effort into new innovative ideas, and then just leave them on the chopping block gone forever... till they make a remake of it, and then bring it back, only to have it obsolete in a year when we didn't really have enough time to truly appreciate the feature.

I want a game that starts you off in the north of the region so you have early access to Ice Types. I find it sad that I never really get to use them because they're found so late in the games, so I almost always have a full team by then. We also need a Dark Type gym. It's been six generations! It's long overdue.

My ideal Pokemon game: All Pokemon available without trading Visit every region Nonlinear story Customized Characters Tie in every Pokemon story in some way into the new story One big Evil Group made up of the 6 other groups Interesting Post-game "quests" so you can truly 100% the game

maybe there could even be a better story mode. It would be cool to have a way to CHOOSE your actions and what you want to say, and doing so effects the rest of the game. Like, theres many posible endings.

The HM thing is so true "Rayquaza forgot fly" *Continues flying in battle*

I think you should be allowed to challenge the gym leaders again once you already beat them.

Why not a longer story because it's so short somebody who knows what there doing could finish the story in less then 24 hours

The other upgrade idea of your "route lock" idea, was if the gym badges worked as keys, what I mean, in the beginning we don't have gym badges, so we could go to any route and only find lv 2-10 Pokémon and trainers, beat the 1st gym, unlocks wild Pokémon lv10-20 and trainers, something similar to Pokémon Go, ur trainer level affect the Pokémon and their power will be nice way and would facilitate exploration and would ditch HMs.

OK gamefreak, make a Pokemon game where you can got to all regions, Do it, we all want it

So here's 5 things I want in Pokemon Games: 1. An open world- similar to your nonlinear idea this would let players go where they want in their self-chosen order. However unlike your idea Wild Pokemon's levels would be based on the average level of your Pokemon team. (An item called Lvl. share would be used so that two Pokemon would be turned into the Average lvl of their two levels to help with training lower leveled pokemon later in the game. 2. Multiples Stories- similar to your idea of different classes but you can drop one story and pick up another anytime you want to. examples are: 1. The Trainer Story- The Basic journey of collecting 8 Gym Badges and facing the Elite Four. Also Includes your Typical Rival. 2. The Coordinator- Compete in revamped Contests now featuring Contest Battles! Receive 8 Ribbons before moving onto the Grand Festival. features a new contest rival. 3. The Ranger- Help a Pokemon Professor catalog all of the species of Pokemon in the Region and complete the Pokedex. Fight against a Team of Poachers that are capturing rare Pokemon. 4. The Hero- The Main Mission, fight against an evil organization that are threatening to destroy/take-over the world. (This may be required for all players) 3. Revamped Gyms- These Gyms no longer specialize in type but rather styles of battle. (I.E. Double Battles, Triple Battles, Rotation Battles, Sky Battles, Water Battles, Inverse Battles, etc.) 4. Revamped Travel Systems- Get rid of the current fly travel system and replace it with the system used by Latios and Latias in ORAS with a chance of running into trainers looking for a Sky battle. As well minimize the need for Surf only using it to get to special places and introduce Water battles when surfing that only allow the use of pokemon that can swim. Also replace using moves like Fly and Surf with say a Sky Saddle and a Water Saddle. Also add an option in PC's that will teleport you to other PC's that you've previously logged on to. 5. Cutscenes and Voice Acting- add in Cut-scenes with Voice Acting,

One of the big things they need to add is the ability to have multiple save files, to solve the problem with the event stuff, you will have the ability to transfer event Pokemon and event items to the other save file. This will be beneficial to everyone, especially to Game Freak as people who got a Pokemon from a trade wouldn't want to erase the file to start over, would definitely buy more Pokemon games.

With the HM problems, they should add something like two or so extra slots for moves that can only be filled with HMs. Then, if they add easy/ hard mode, then -Easy Mode: Any move can be taught in the slots and accessed in battle -Normal Mode: Only HMs can be taught in these slots, but can still be accessed in battle -Hard Mode: Only HMs can be taught in these slots, and cannot be accessed in battle. This would solve the problem of HMs taking up space.

Dude. Your ideas are awesome!

Increasing the difficulty in pokemon games is kind of a hard thing to do. Making AI is not terribly easy, but if the enemy trainers, at least the gym trainers, had an AI like that of the battle maison, like switching out and using more status effect and boosting moves, as well as attempting to predict and counter their opponents, the player, the game could be a lot more interesting and fun. However, just increasing the levels of all the trainers is stupid, because that just requires you to grind longer to get your pokemon to a higher level, which is not an increase of difficulty, but an increase of time you'd have to spend doing something boring and mindless, like killing wild pokemon or rebattling the pokemon breeders in B2W2. I dunno, I don't really care about an increase in difficulty personally, because seeing the world, meeting the characters, and catching pokemon is the really fun part for me, not beating AI.

The non linier concept was really good, nice job! :D

Loved your ideas! Fully agree with the branching story paths.

Those are some TOPNOCH ideas!! Kudos to you. ;)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon have awesome stories. One of the best ever IMO.

As for the difficulty, they should have the option at the beginning of the game, so players who want challenge can go right into it.

You are completely on spot with this, definitely my train of thoughts as well. I always wanted to make a custom pokemon game, and a lot of those features that you mentioned were actually on the list to be imported into the game. As you may imagine though, it's incredibly hard to do that without a team and great knowledge of programming. Eh, one day maybe :P The dream still lives on.

Totally agree Mr. buddy, specially with the idea of the difficulty. In Alpha Zaphire you can have a pokémon team on level 50 and fight against a pokémon on level 30 or even less. Love your channel

what if you start the adventure normally and then decide which path you take based on your actions in the game? Wanna conquer all the gyms? Fine. Wanna become a pokemon professor or a nurse? Help them and they'll recruit you. Don't wanna be the hero? Find a snag machine and assist the "evil" team. Things like that would be nice. With the PSS, being a Gym Leader would be fun, and shouldnt be too hard to do. I totally agree about the key item hm replacement. gimmie an axe or a saw or something instead of cut :/

i honestly think that the pokemon games should be exactly like the anime because it gets tiring going around and obtaining the gym badges of the region, stopping some gang from taking over the world and then becoming the champion. the games should allow you to have full control on what pokemon you want, what you wear, what you want to do and other things that ash and his friends can do. also the battles need to be more epic they need to take out the levels of a pokemon because once you get to level 100 that's it. if ash can collect way more then 8 or 16 badges and compete in pokemon tournaments like the johto sliver conference then why cant we ive been playing pokemon since i was really young im now 19 years old and to me i still dont know what its like to really work with your pokemon to be the best there is. ash has to really train his pokemon by doing other things that can help them win in battles but all we can do is run around in the tall grass about 50 time just to get to a good enough level to beat the gym. im sorry but legendary pokemon should not be caught if they are suppose to keep balance then why am i able to catch it. whos keeping balance if its inside a poke-ball im ready for a real challenge and i think everyone else in the world is too

This was awesome i never thought of all of these things they could do with pokemon

I've always wanted everything you've talked about. To gain a different set of Pokémon by choosing a different starting route would be phenomenal! I want to be able to start with a Swablu or maybe a Trapinch instead of having to go through several routes before I can obtain a Vullaby or a Pumpkaboo. Being able to go free range would make the Pokémon world more real to me and the possibility of finding a hidden grotto that has a beautiful scenic diversity like the Grande Canyon or the Verdon River of France, or Niagara falls would be spectacular! The HM thing has been a thorn in everyone's side since day one. It's time to do some number crunching and get started on a program that can allow Pokémon of certain egg groups learn an HM naturally or have it as a passive ability (not to be confused by Pokémon abilities), like a Pokémon who can fly can automatically use fly without it being a move slot. Choices create freedom. Without more choices for story-line branching and Pokémon trainer selections, I find my freedom barred and gagged by only one plotline and no choice but to play it and play it without any response choices!! Do you know how many times I'd like to choose my response to the NPCs in these games? I would love to have a response choice! Please, GameFreak? Please...

What about a massive online rpg in which you can explore all of the regions and catch every Pokemon if you want? When new regions come along, the update the game like league of Legends or something. People could just meet up randomly online and battle or trade instead of having to meet in person.

I need to become the godfather of team rocket. I need it.

Okay, so my thought on the different story, basically, at some point there would be branching areas. The first one would be an evil team member coming up to you right before your first gym and asking if you want to join. If you refuse, they will battle you and once you beat them, you can challenge the gym. If you accept, you get to join the evil team, but this locks the option of becoming a champion.

I love all your ideas especially the hm

I like the last idea a lot. Always thought about that! I think something silly, but would be really cool is if they finally stopped having all the weird electronic sounds they make for the pokemon noises and having them saying what they actual do sound like in the shows. I don't think in would be complicated. They did it for Pikachu now why not for the other 500+ pokemon.

I want to be able to stay the league champion and vs anyone who challenges me ir be a gym leader

One thing that I would perhaps want to see happen is maybe taking all of the regions together, and letting you pick your starting region. Then after beating all 8 gyms you move on to the next region and so on so forth. Picking your region next as you continue and the difficulty increases as well. By the end when you have all 48 badges you can play through a custom elite four based on where you end up and the difficulty to be equal. (ex. level 90 elite four trainers) Doing this allows for the capture of almost all legendary Pokemon and being able to take all the best parts of each game into one. being able to fly from region to region. (ex. battle frontier, as well as the 8 islands) I really agree with everything you say here! These ideas would make the game so much more interesting and a lot more fun. I also would think it would be cool to add in a customization for your character. Perhaps even going online and finding picture icons of clothing brands to put on your character so to perhaps have many different looks.

I'm so happy that you had scooby doo mystery inc on there. They made the king of routines and recycling into an awesome series. adding difficulty makes players who use it PLAY EVEN MORE! Pokemon should be linear in so far as you are always the hero who will complete the main story, but then you also get to choose a job/class to change up the stuff in between. I'd be a ranger certainly, but I'd do that alongside doing all the gym stuff. Order of gyms is fine. I'd love an open world style where you can do where you want more or less. some areas should be really op while other are weak. The best way to explain it is you can do everywhere, but the further you get from the towns the harder it gets.

I want : No more Mega Evolution, its time for Pokemon Fusion A better storyline, being able to play as a bad guy Cars, come on, bikes are cool, but imagine driving around Johto Skateboarding. Nuff said. Character customization at the beginning

An multiplayer mode with severs to interact with other players

very nice ideas. hopefully some of them will happen. I wonder why GameFreak couldn't think of that themselves

The last 2 ideas you had were genius

I would love it if we were able to earn Ribbons instead, and take part in contests to show off our Pokemon.

I want: Pokemon fusion. In the next game there should be a fusion key item. There could be pokemon that are capable of fusion and pokemon cant. Maybe the starters could fuse.

The 5th idea about the HMs is actually a really good idea! I never thought about it like that

I think Pokémon could use a system where all gyms are an option. I think it would be fun if you could also go on more quests or adventures, and I think having your pokemon with you in the over world is a must. I think the game would be cool if there was a region with both the average gyms and elite four, but also a contest system where you can become the contest master. I think contests themselves could also use combination mechanics, sort of like in the anime, where if you use one move and then another following it, it can make sparkles or stuff like that. It would need some extensive work to include a mechanic like that, but I think it would be fun to choose what future you want to pursue I'm the game, even if there are only two choices.

Mr Buddy if they made such choice in routes what would happen to the other routes that the first 5 would lead too? Those would be almost impossible to set!

Game Freak could change HMs so that you can still teach useful moves like Surf to your Pokemon, but they don't actually need to be learned to progress - you just need a Pokemon in your party that is capable of learning that HM. For example, there is a small tree in the way, I have a Pokemon that can learn Cut, so I cut the tree without having a team member waste a moveslot on that piece of shit. Either that or they could make all HMs useful attacks - in the Pokemon Blaze Black and Volt White rom hacks, Cut is a Grass type move with greater power and Strength is a Rock type move. Also, can we please be rename traded Pokemon?

I know it's a different thing for a pokemon game, but I'd love the chance to be a gym leader. Like after defeating the elite four, getting to be the champion and travel around but then having the gym leader title and a phone, so at random times you'd get a call from the gym about a trainer, arriving and you'd fly back to your home town where the gym would be and fight the trainers as little side jobs I guess.

I love the "key items" idea replacing the HM's. HM's are such a pain sometimes!

ALSO ALL POKEMON SHOULD JUST SOAR INSTEAD OF LEARNING FLY

My list 5) a pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky remake 4) a pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky remake 3) a pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky remake 2) a pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky remake 1) A FUCKING POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON EXPLORERS OF SKY REMAKE!

Dopest ideas ive heard yet.

I honestly thought that most these ideas would be great in the game, my favorite would be the different campains. Good video.

What sucks is your not getting payed for these ideas.

Here are some things I like to see in future pokemon games No hidden moves trainer customization be able to walk with my stater seasons a revamped battle system new starters what are not fire water grass If you are higher enough level you can automatic win the battles like in earthbound better story rivals who are not friends game corner more things to do in post game being able to pick what type of transport I want a bike skateboard roller blades scooter. maybe even ride a pokemon more ways to evolve pokemon like maybe weight, happens level customize your bedroom/secret bases

I love how in your example of the linear gameplay, you used the one region with a large branching path XD

For the non-linear gameplay I would have it so the in story/mechanic wise the level of the first pokemon in your team will determine the level of wild pokemon you encounter. Basically it would work that wild pokemon within 3 levels of yours would come out thinking it's trying to take it's territory. Wild pokemon of higher level would ignore you while those of lower level would run away from you. HMs should only be used to get to optional areas where a few pokemon would be located. Like you're in a forest and come across the small trees, they aren't blocking your progress to the next town just your access to an additional optional area. When you get Cut you can teach it to a pokemon and come back later and investigate the area. The area would have nothing to do with the story, it would just be someplace to explore at your leisure when ever you want.

bruh you watch Gravity Falls ME 2

My biggest wish for coming pokemon games...GET RID OF IVs!! What's the point of them?? 2 pokemon of the same species, EVs, level, etc should have the same stats. Why force ppl to breed to get the best

Sort of tying in with the (semi) non-linear gameplay idea, one thing I'd love is sort of mini quests within the game. Obviously aside from beating all the gym leaders and then the elite four etc, the biggest quest in the game is to complete the pokedex. One thing I loved about pokemon Y was the "Looker" story/quest where you got a random holocast from a mystery person who needs your help. Little quests that take maybe an hour or two to complete (finding items for people/defeating bullies/whatever) that aren't a mandatory part of the story-arch that need to be completed to progress towards beating the game, but perhaps offer a reward that may help you in beating the game (a special item/TM/evolution stone/megastone/pokemon egg/whatever). Another good example of this is "finding the room keys" in sea-mauville in ORAS.

I so agree with the branching story paths one! It would make it so much fun! I would probably want to be a Pokemon performer or part of the evil team as those two seem the most interesting to me!

I can't believe you didn't say multiple save files...

I hate HMs omg =_=

You basically want a Pokemon-Game for grown ups, This would be awesome to play on an onscreen console like the Playstation or the WiiU to stay in the family. But I like those ideas, I subscribed by the way, I am looking forward to watch all your stuff

Great list mate :) I think tho tgat instead of locking the other routes there should be a constant increase in wild pokemon levels', and after you beat the champion all the pokemon in their respective areas return to their original levels like in the current game.

My idea is having a game where you have a quiz in the beginning or a way to set your personality and preferences so your journey is all based on you. For example, what is your personality? Being shy could mean you stay in a small area for the beginning of the game then end up traveling everywhere, or being brave meaning you can climb mountains and shit. I hope I explained it well enough. I'd also love to be able to talk ingame, like if a character says "let's go to blah blah city and beat the gym leader!" You have a few options like saying "Yes" or "No" but depending what you pick, you'll eventually have to go there etc. Also, for example, in competitions, you could have a Lucario with Force Palm, Leer, Hi Jump Kick and Focus Blast (Idek if it can learn those but it's an example.) In competitions you can make a routine/technique for battling to "battle in style" so one move could affect the next move making it look amazing and dealing damage at the same time. So you could use Leer then Hi Jump Kick to stun the opponent then use Force Palm to hit them hard maybe? Just a few ideas I had.

It would be neat if there was a Dark and a Light storyline. But I do like the idea of slight changes based on which class you choose. Or perhaps some sort of boost? Like Ace Trainers get an EXP boost, Contest Idols get better scores in contests, etc

Great video by the way, I agree with the points you made :)

Great list! I liked pretty much all of the ideas, except level scaling. There are non-linear games without level-scaling that actually work out, Morrowind being a good example. While watching this I realized there is a series of games similar to what you describe, that being the Megami Tensei series. It has branching story, harder difficulty, often non-linear gameplay and many have more in depth and interesting stories compared to pokemon. It's similarity to pokemon is that you can catch, level up and evolve demons, often well over a 100 different ones, to aid you on your quest. Cheers and please keep doing what you do :)

I'm all for these ideas. And something else I've always wanted is to be able to choose which Pokemon you send out in a wild battle. If I'm attacked by a Fearow in the wild, I'm not going to send out my Caterpie to battle it and I hate wasting a turn to switch Pokemon. It would make more sense if you could choose, because unlike a trainer battle, you can see your opponent's typing.

I LOVE the third idea (The one about branching story paths) We get closest to that in...I think Emerald, where you "help" both teams by defeating the other one.

love your ideas!!!

I think gen 5 had the best story in the series. Kept my interest the whole time. A difficulty option would be superb. I agree with the branch part. I would love to be part of team rocket or be like an Elite 4 member or something. And totally agree with your key items point. Very good points sir. Just earned yet another sub.

An idea i had relating to non-linear gameplay is that you can choose your starting town, and go around that way, and make the map look linear(no relation to the non-linear thing, it just works as a word there)kind of like Unova and so you go around in a circle and it just has a badge check like in R/B.

I've been wanting a class feature in all the games for a long time, but I thought of expanding it a different way. I think we'd all start as trainers, but sometime near the beginning of the game you get a chance to choose what path you want to go on. For example, you could be approached by the evil team in the game and they extend the offer to have you join the team, which you could either accept or decline. Other paths would open a similar way - via the non-linear game play idea you thought up. Furthermore, I think it would be interesting to be able to become a gym leader or member of the Elite Four rather then just the champion - a feature that would introduced about half-way through the game if you chose to be a trainer rather than be any of the other classes.

hmmm i like your idea of the custom story :D! and the HM YES GO AWAY #noMoreHm

Nonlinear gameplay seems to be a good idea! I like that!

Leading off your branching roles idea, I think they should do a choose-your-own-adventure type of thing. Basically, your decisions and actions in the game would influence what happens-who shows up when, if you beat the villains or not, what legendary you encounter, etc.

what i'd like is for when you run into a wild encouter, you're asked if you wanna face it. if you say no, you try to runaway immidiately before even sending out your pokemon. It'd just be a good time saver for people who get tired of random encounters. (sure I know repels exist but still)

I remember seeing shofu playing a pokemon fan game that has everything you describe in your video. I'm not sure what fan game it is. (He played a lot of them), but there is one where it replaced all HMs with actual items (Like a sledge hammer for rock smash)

I have always wanted a Pokémon game where you could travel across all of the regions like Ash does in the anime. Since a lot of good things are coming out in the games, (character customization, the possibility of no HMs in Alola, etc.) it constantly expands of my idea of a dream game. Also with the 3DS having updates for their games, they could update the game everytime there is a new region. Now with you saying you wanted a chosing of what story you want by character, I would love for that too. Maybe in lesser known regions you could have access to mini quests based on the region and what game they came with (like you could do a ranger mini quest in Fiore, Almia, and/or Oblivia. Pokétopia is Battle Revolution-esque mini quest. Ferrum would have a Pokkén Tournament mini quest. So on and so fourth). I've always wanted a game like this, but then i realize it would rid Nintendo of making other games because it would have all of their games in one without profitting. So, it would never happen, but I can still dream.

Here's what I think, I agree with the hm's so I found a way to include them. Cut- Clippers or an axe Surf- Wet suit Dive- Scuba Gear / when you get the scuba gear, you lose the wet suit, the scuba gear will work as surf and dive. Defog- Lantern Flash- T_T just the lantern again, but I guess the Defog lantern could have a enhanced lantern Rock Smash- Hammer or sludge hammer. You chose Whirlpool- Kickboard or surfboard Rock climb- grappling hook | if there is 4th gen remakes Strength- I can't think of anything, so think of something. Fly- Hoverboard? I can't think of anything else.

Hey, Mr Buddy, I like your ideas. One modification to an idea, though: With a central starting location, you could actually increase the level as the distance from the central point increased, using towns as plot points for this increase. Gym leaders could scale with the player's Pokemon levels so they will still provide a challenge despite which order you decide to defeat them in. Also, this would provide greater variety in choice when it came to your higher-level leveling, as high-level Pokemon would be able to be found in many more regions and environments, offering not only a change of scenery, but also access to Pokemon of more types, making it easier to level your Pokemon of all types.

6:26 u CAN play as a ranger, in 3 games specifically called pokemon ranger, pokemon ranger: shadows of almia, and p.r: guardian signs, they are all really fun, and the goal you mentioned in this video, protecting wild pokemon is literally what you do in the p.r games

For your number 1, yes I have wanted this for so long. Something I really want to see is a open world pokémon game, where the player can choose to be in the pokémon league. Only trainers in the league are locked to 6 pokémon, while if you aren't in. Then you can carry as many as will fit in the inventory.

The Hms; What if Pokemon can learn a "Skill" after getting a certain badge? For example; After getting the Tear badge, My Floatzel can be taught to take me across water, up a waterfall, and/or dive underwater with me. They do it because the badge is a sign of respect so they trust you enough to do it for you. The soar feature was cool, so why not have more things like it?

For the gyms, in johto you can change the order. 1-2-3-4-7-5-6-8 is the alternate gym order (i did this accidentally in soulSilver)

And when it comes to HMs, I think an alternative way is that simply, all the Pokemon that can learn HMs can always use them as "Out of battle skills". But these skills get unlocked once you have passed the event trigger, such as obtaining a certain badge etc. This would still be limiting, but Id prefer this over a bush, since that creates that connection to Pokemon that I think GameFreak think is important. Having just scissors or surfboards would defeat that purpose. And sure, for people used to Pokemon games and RPGs in general this might not matter the slightest, but in order to create that amazing sensation of the Pokemon World for newcomers, it might actually matter.

To exapnd on your no HM idea I think a combination of the traditional HM moves and key items would be great where HMs become the same as TM field moves like sweet scent or dig but give you an advantage over using the key item. For example you could borrow a boat at certain locations for major water routes but if you had Surf you could surf anywhere, like on a pond in a town to get special items - however it wouldn't block progress if you didn't have it. Perhaps you have a lantern for saves that lit an area around you but flash would light the whole screen. Fly is one that I don't see having a key item analog at all and would be the only way of getting around from town to town, but if you got it early (via a trade) you could use it from that point instead of needing a gym badge so it would still be less annoying. The other way I see a lot is that a Pokémon that would be able to fly, surf, push boulders etc should just be able to do it without a set move (like in the anime). I don't see a problem with that if they can work out a way to make it fair.
