An epic 3DS remake of Pokemon Yellow, and make it so that I can catch all of the first 151 (and only the first 151).
That would be worth a purchase in my book.

How could Pokemon win you back (Assuming it lost you?)

They should just start you out with a lvl 100 charizard that has a machine gun. Now THAT would be awesome!
It won me back when I could buy SoulSilver. I never bought into the RSE/PDPlt games. They complicated the experience, and the Pokemon, and I felt alienated by them, to be honest. Silver was my GBC's crowning jewel, and being allowed to get it in this generation was fantastic.
Getting Black, day one. No doubt about it.

I would only agree to start buying new games if they scrapped all but the original 151. But then, that's just me being the crotchety old, "In my day, Pluto was a planet!" man again.
I guess more post-Elite Four stuff would be good, though. Like in FireRed/LeafGreen, there was actually a decent amount of stuff to do on and around the Sevii Isles. And, of course, Cerulean Cave. (Damn those Wobafetts... damn them all.)

I don't like making HM slaves. Diamond and Pearl I kept having to have a low level Wooper in my group.
Not be on the DS. I wouldn't spend all that money on a DS just for one game. So maybe an iPhone or PSP version.
It could not ever win me back as it never earned my love in the first place. To have had any hope of doing thus, it would need to have been released in the early 90's when I would have fit the target demographic well enough to ensure constant exposure to the game which, would have almost certainly lead to my wanting it as well.
i dont have anything. There really mixing it up this time, and with the new mechanics, its ready to blwo a few people's minds. Just think of this:
there is going to be PURE FLYING TYPE pokemon. the move GRAVITY takes away the ability to be a flying type (basically, all flying types are dual typed flying/normal, or something, so when gravity comes into effect, it makes your pokemon whatever the dual type is). SO WHAT ARE THE FLYING POKEMON GOING TO TURN INTO WITHOUT A DUAL TYPE???
Its mind blowing, since you are basically left with making the flying types an ??? type, and the only ??? type move is curse, and the only ??? pokemon is arceus (and he's technically a normal type to start off with with the multitype ability). You add on changing seasons, the new triple battles, and a bunch of other stuff, and i'm happy.
Besides, most people who have problems with pokemon cant let go of the fact that pokemon after R/B/Y (and for some G/S/C) are oka. design isnt great on all of them, but the first and second generation pokemon have some floaters in their catalog too. os they just need to get over themselves.
also, you should all remember and think about this when you talk about the story: THIS IS A GAME FOR TEN YEAR OLDS! its great if you still want to play it, but the story's not meant for you. this is a game that fills a role as an introductory game for many people. So you cant have an advanced story for an E rated game. Thats why we have T and M rated games.

my story
you are about to get your first pokemon from prof.... when some shady guy comes up to you and says, "hey kid, want this awesome lv. 10 snorlax. its way better than the pokemon the prof. is giving away, they only start on lv. 5. all you have to do to get it is to join my organization." you ponder this for a moment and think, 'hmm, snorlax is awesome'. so you take the deal. they put you in a colored suit and your off on your adventure full of crime.
basically, i would like it if it had more choice to it rather than just follow the same story every single time. it would be nice if it had an aspect where every choice you made affected the game and how people react to you when you meet them.

I'm completely unconvinced. Give examples if you want to win me over. I've heard of players complaining that they don't like the new pokemon EVERY time a new generation was released. Well guess what? GEN 1 had some real duds in it as well. Whoever said Mr. Mime or Tangela or Tauros was their favourite? Some, no doubt, but the point remains: there are always going to be less popular pokemon and concepts that won't reappear in later games.RandallJohn said:

How about, and I'm just throwing this out there, a compiled pokemon game!!! Set a decent time period before or after all the others, you take the role of a kid, as per the current system. Now, pick your region! You now start in that region, and play through a new(ish) story line related to that region, just like a regular pokemon game. Once you finish that region, you get a ticket (plane ticket, boat ticket, I don't care). You can choose when you wish to travel to another region (of your choice obviously). On they way, whatever organisation rules the next area decides to hi-jack your mode of transportation, stealing your pokemon while the passengers are asleep. You awake, all your pokemon, badges and HMs are missing, and you go racing after the evil team. They run into the tall grass, you go to folllow, and after an heroic bystander pulls you from the grasps of a soul-stealing gengar and you, the silent protagonist, tell your sad tale, you are told to vist the professor of the region, from whom you get a new starter with which to get your others back. You race off, defeating gyms as required to reaquire your HMs and use them. Near the end (or mid-way through) you are told that the elite four has been overthrown by team *whatever* agents, and they keep all the stolen pokemon in the champion room. So you get all the badges (it's only a rumour, so you need the badges to get past the oblivious guards), defeat the evil group, and get back your old pokemon (Yay!).
You then go to the other region through either some plot development or just for shits and giggles (and at this bit I'm undecided, you could lose your pokemon again as some heart-felt attempt to avoid risking losing them again, or you could have them re-stolen (a tactic of which I am not a fan) or there might be another gang which, having heard of the fall of their two rivals, has made an anti-trainer barricade, so anyone with pokemon on them cannot enter the new area).
When you choose the kanto/johto regions, you can choose to do them separately or not, and if you do them together, the pokemon levels are scaled so that training isn't too hard, and travelling isn't too easy, if you do them separately (as in, you ditch your old pokemon)as part of a joint 'anti-team rocket/galactic/gemstone/whatever' story-line, then all the trainers and pokemon get de-scaled to normal levels, so that you don't end up fighting level 40 trainers with a lvl 7 starter.

There's no way I'll buy Black or White! GRRRR!!!
I don't have a DS. If I did, I'd get one. So if they give me a free DS they'll get another customer.

It's clear more then a few of you shouldn't be playing Pokemon and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it.
Well thank God ten year olds don't play T and M rated games. Just kidding man but honestly i know a lot of people who still play the games and remember playing the original ones, its a winning formula yes but i do feel it has gotten stale. Maybe they do need a T rated game in its roster(M rated would be weird).emeraldrafael said:
