Yes, and make the pokemon battle to the death. Like the loser is dead. No coming back. Final Fantasy style.Flying-Emu said:

While I haven't played since the days of Gold/Silver, I haven't really felt a need to. Word on the street was that the only thing that'd really changed was the number of pokemon to choose from...i.e. way too many.
If anything, the number of options needs to be toned down. I feel like those who actively keep up with the franchise only end up with the same ones anyways, and have all of the same best stats, etc.
Overall, there's nothing particularly original that would actually spark a new interest in the series for me. Like I said, I don't feel like I'm particularly missing out in terms of gameplay and general content. It's still the same story, just lengthened.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this above, but perhaps something to keep in mind was that the series was generated towards kids. They're not as likely to really care about specifics, so long as for major holidays and birthdays they see a copy of the latest release. It's simplistic so they're still capable of understanding it, it gives them a sense of independence and choice, and it's not terribly difficult.
Perhaps then they could expand it, and create some sort of separate storyline that's also appealing to an older, more mature group? Something a little more realistic, and with some epic punch to the story?
Either way, Nintendo is still making money...E is still for "everyone."

You forgot about the "meet up with a professor named after a tree" step. But otherwise, yes, I agree. And get rid of the silent protagonist. There's nothing I hate more than a silent protagonist in a video game.Korolev said:
I agree with character customization, but it needs LESS pokemon. I cant catch them all anymore, especialy because some are not even avalible in the newer ones
Already said but, Realtime combat, this would mean there would be some skill to it, the oppertunities are limitless, even with the wii controls, for example...
Mewtwo uses psycic - it grabs the enemy pokemon and you get to fling it about for a few seconds with the wii remote and the more violently it's moved the mored damage it does.
When you level up you maybe unlock new things in the "training areas" so your pokemon can learn a new move by maybe doing a certain mini game, eg, learning strength, has to lift a rock and moves up to something like snorlax (after other things of course) for the final stage of learning the move or something like that anyway.
And for walking around, you are allowed to keep 1 pokemon out all the time for show or whatever.
but yes, all good ideas guys

If I had to do a minigame every time I wanted to teach my pokemon a move, the disc would be used as a frisbee as soon as I could get it out of the machine.Phenakist said:
And about this recurring theme of having pokemon fight to the death and then loose them. Say you've beaten the game and you're doing multiplayer in an open area, you fight someone and your pokemon dies. Congratulations, the "work" you put into the game to get decent pokemon is now null since they're dead. How well do you think that would be received?
Guys, again, this is simple stuff. Nintendo hasn't changed the formula for a very simple reason: It makes more money than you and your kids will make in your lifetime. In the ten years it's been running, it's been able to sell 186 million copies of the games in it's franchise, which is second only to the Mario Bros. series. If you're looking for something drenched in your precious dark, gritty realism, then go play Final Fantasy where all the characters are required to meet a minimum of emo. As Notashrimp said, this game is for children. Nintendo isn't going to change something that's obviously getting them loads of money just to make a VERY small minority happy.
Get rid of all pokemon from 151+ apart from all the evee evolutions because they are cute and look cool compared to the others that look like a bloody 6 year old did them
New PKMN idea:
3D
The ability to go to any region
Pokemon mounts like in WoW (think riding on Suicune, Rapidash, Arcanine like a horse and flying on Charizard and Lugia)
Like someone mentioned above; customizable characters, and clothes shops.
A day-night cycle
Good remastered versions of the original songs
No goddamn Pokemon natures. I spent forever breeding the right Pokemon with the perfect bloody nature.
I could say more but it's late.

Y'know, I had an inkling today. The legendaries have gone into elements (Moltres/Entei, Suicune/Articuno, Zapdos/Raikou) and time and space (Dialga/Palkia), where else is there to go but Jesus and Satan?
Also:
No pokemon natures. This is annoying.
Use the bike music from the first game. It was, by far, the best of them all.
How about using the entire pokemon universe instead of just one region?
Too many held items that do the same thing.
Stop making a third game that's closer-related to the anime.

I havn't played anything since the early games. But I was always dismayed that i had to choose from three pokemon. Three I really didn't give a toss about. I'd rather have looked through some of the other ones and made my own decision from the hundreds availiable, bar the legendaries and all that jazz, and formed a better connection with my stupid little animal, because I would have found it cool from the outset.
Personally, I prefer the originals to the newer games. That doesn't mean I haven't played the new ones. But I like the old ones. And while I like Gen-1 the most, my two favorite pokemon are from later generations (Blaziken and Raikou).Onmi said:
You are getting a little overboard about this whole pokemon arguement. And you can know stats, but in a battle things can be different. You never can predict the order someone uses. And you can't predict what moves they know or use regularly. So stop having a fake battle on a thread that has nothing to do with this argument, unless you'd like to get reported.
Get rid of the spin offs. Make no more new monsters.
And sure, character customization would be interesting but making your Pokemon wear silly hats and shirts is a waste of programming. And I already hate with a passion those who already do it to their pets.

1. have ur first pokemon in ur party walk wit u like in yellow but not just bloody pikachu it would be stupidly funny to walk around wit the biggest fuckin pokemon u could find
2. using every reigon not jus the bloody 1 u get randomly tossed into at the start i mean come on wat could be more fun than walkin in circles wait everything after u've completed it theres nothin to do so u either give em all to people who want the pokemon u hav or u torment them wit the pokemon u hav and they dont i go with torment.
