I would merge Red, Yellow and Blue while adding some of the mechanics from newer games. Things like exp share items and the ability to challenge trainers again later instead of just one battle per trainer.
All of this while keeping the old graphics, most likely out of pure nostalgia.
well first i would put all the pokemon in the same game possibly in all the regions as to not have it to crowded. remove event pokemon/make em available otherwise. remove golem gengar etcs trade requirement to evolve since it's really stupid id like to remove verison exclusive pokemon as well but thats not as big a problem as the trade thing. that would make a great game for the current "genre"
however if making a new game i'd make the 3D game just about everyone that grew up with pokemon was waiting for.
i mean seriously why hasn't this been made yet?
I would make a game where it is possible to play as one of the "teams" because that is the generic title of all pokemon villains. I reckon it would be interesting getting to play as the bad guys.
I don't really know what I can say that hasn't been said already.
I just really want to see the ultimatum version that has all the regions and all the pokemon in one big game. But I'm starting to think the team that work on the Pokemon games are gradually getting closer to that. I don't know if any of you guys have seen the Pokemon World Tournament feature from Black 2 & White 2 yet but being able to battle all the previous generation gym leaders (or at least a good amount of them), I'd say that's a step in the right direction.
I recently wondered why they never made a new version of pokemon Yellow, (like how they made fire red and leaf green).
Except, since pokemon yellow was basically the pokemon games but more based on the tv show, the new pokemon... uh, 'electric yellow' would be even more based on it.
Meaning you'd have team rocket stalking you like they did to Ash in the series, showing up and causing trouble in the towns you just happen to be going to next. You'd have to fight the random giant robots and stuff like ash did in the show too, maybe they might even steal some of your pokemon, forcing you to battle with your other party members like they did in the show too.
Also, Misty and Brock would become your buddies and come with you.
Rated T pokemon game, where the combat was either akin to:
Pokemon Conquest (Strategy RPG where one could take into account location)
Legend of Zelda
Metroid Prime (As dumb as it sounds, a metroid prime styled Pokemon game sounds like fun, imagine bioshock but no guns for attacks)
Another possible idea that sounds better:
Make a big pokemon game where you can start out in any region (Even the gamecube ones) and get any starter, then the rest of the world levels up according to what you have, the max level may be around 500.
All 649 pokemon (including forms) would be available.
Customizable outfits/age.
Pokeatholon AND Pokemon Contests AND Musicals would be available.
You can have 8 pokemon, the 2 extra are for HM slaves.
The world would be bigger, so a city may take at least 30 minutes to get to.
Trainers would constantly be swapped on pathways with others to freshen gameplay.
Gyms would be based on combat strategies, not just types. (Type based would only exist at like the beginning)
Legendaries are region based.
Flying on your pokemon at certain spots would allow you to control your flight (Much like Dive in emerald and sapphire which would also return)
DYNAMIC WEATHER, I am tired of routes having constant weather.
Whining Genwunners would be not allowed to play until they accept the fact that there are more pokemon beyond a certain generation that they hate.
Update the graphics so it only looks 1 generation old rather than 3 generations old. Seriously why I'm supposed to be amazed by 1st generation PS1 graphics for B&W2?
closer to the manga
the option to choose your own protagonist. (all the old ones plus a new one)
"old" G/S/C art/esthetics style
in-game radio like G/S/C
day-night
all the regions accessible
no Nintendo event exclusives.
option to carry over all your pokemon in one go
option to choose between chip tunes and the new soundtrack
updated for old school fans while still accessible to new ones.
Cover-based shooting for the trainer so he/she can assist in battle with modern military weapons.
QTE's
Regenerating health
VATS aiming system
Checkpoints
Chest-high walls will litter the battlefield
Instead of throwing a pokeball, you receive a gun that launches your pokeball, this can be upgraded with mods that you collect.
/sarcasm
In all seriousness, explore all the Regions.
Update the graphics.
Let's stop making new pokemon (We have way too much as it is)
Randomize the AI's pokemon to keep things fresh (except for gym leaders and important characters, etc)
Quick save for in battle use
Multiple save files
Able to explore every region
Character custimization
You can start in any city you want in any region
Catch your starter in the wild
I think it would greatly improve the games myself.
*looks at avatar*...huh. I wonder why you would sayt THAT.
OT:
Ash and May are a couple (along with the other people I ship). Although, obviously, it would be a kid-friendly relationship.
Bumped up to T/PG rating
Gets the animation style of Avatar: The Last Airbender/ Legend Of Korra
Have more international relations between regions in the show
Have more explaination behind the technology in the show
Maybe actually find the origin of Pokemon
..........
Any others, people?
The game would start with you as an adult. You live alone in the city and every day you work construction with your Machop for a meager salary to support your daughter. Your parents are long dead and you have a long lost brother who is mentioned barely, if at all.
One day, your daughter vanishes, and at the same time the country goes to war with another far away land. You are drafted, even though you object and want only to find your baby.
As you begin to succumb to your fate, you start the majority of gameplay with a squad of soldiers who each have one Pokemon that they work to train alone. Eventually, your squad dies, and you are left to fend for yourself in an unknown country with little supplies.
At the end you go to sabotage an attempt to breed a secret weapon pokemon and find out that your brother has mutated your daughter into some weird pokemon abomination for whatever reason, and you have to kill her to free her and save your homeland.
TL;DR - Fuck the stupid, repetitive, 8 gym, 6 pokeball bullshit and all the fans who eat up the same crap over and over again. I'd make a game that has a freaking plot (even if my example sucked).
Until the last bit it actually sounded like an interesting, non-cliche ¨grimdark¨ plot. And they do have games with (comparatively more) plot - the Mystery Dungeon games, the Gamecube "Stadium" games about Shadow Pokemon, etc.
And no, the best plotline Pokemon is suited for is, and always will be, a bildungsroman. The anime could´ve been one if Ash ever aged. For the show I would´ve liked if ever region had its proper protagonist and the previous ones would make occasional guest appearances, possibly older. For the games, I say a massive game that includes all regions. Every region you beat, your character ages a little, and after the end when you become Champion of a region your first Pokemon will pass away.
They should just get on with it and remake Ruby/Sapphire already. Nobody cares about Black and White 2.
I mean, the life of the game is in the online. Smogon, Pokemon Online, all the community, thats what I play pokemon for. Perhaps they should make a game which is just like pokemon online (but for the Xbox/PS3) with daily tournaments, a huge library of articles and help on metagaming, the meanings of EV's, IV's, natures etc and so on. And it would be awesome. Add in a 3d battle viewer and its the best game ever.

EDIT: Also I'd get rid of those stupid Pokémon characteristics as well. I don't want a 'frisky' Raticate or whatever, just a plain old Raticate.
The characteristics are there to help you work out what IV's the pokemon has. They may be pointless in terms of the standard game but if you play online they become very important. Same with natures.
"Alright, lets get this board meeting underway, gentlemen. Alright, lets review. We currently have 5 generations worth of games, each with 2 to 3 versions of the same game just named a different color. We've got a massive trading card game, a manage and anime series, a boatload of movies, and countless pokemon related spin-off games.
Gentlemen, I believe we're done here. Pack your stuff and be out by the end of the day, it's time we close up shop."
Edit: off the main topic, but still on the topic of pokemon...just wanted to post these comics again without having to look'em up and link'em.

Every time I played the older games, this is pretty much how they always opened:
As for why the rivals became all buddy-buddy with the player, it just goes along with the games becoming more kiddy-kiddy fru-fru. For god's sake you can take your pokemon to frickin' beauty contests.
Granted, I've only played Red/Blue, Gold, and Sapphire, but really I'd say that's probably enough for an accurate sampling of "original", "updated", and "new age" as far as the changes in Pokemon are concerned.
But on a sadder note, while I used to respect the pokemon games as essentially being RPGs with a MASSIVE roster, they've become just silly now. At this point, any time I discuss Pokemon, I inevitably start feeling like one of the original Gameboys as depicted here:
Annnnnnnd then, just for fun, this comic sums up everything that's wrong with the entire concept of Pokemon.
Hmmm, 3rd person controlled for the world and then in battle a 2d fighting games, possibly taking the most inspiration from the smash bros series, an ascetic to fit the original cartoons, the original 150 pokemon, definitely non past gen ii. On-line battles taking your team from the main game to fight others.
Fish pokemon though, i take away the boring tun based combat, all fish become like magikarp on land and giant pokemon, i would want it to be possible to pit all sizes against each other but squirtle vs onix while a valid match in the existing system in a fighting style onix would win by sheer size.
Or i could just re-release red and blue with an generation update again and get a swimming pool of money. Hmmm a new game, no guaranteed success Vs free money. As much as i think the pokemon series deserves an update, while it still rakes in the cash it's not happening.
