Well those comments made me facepalm so much, and I did the unthinkable. Whelp. Join Discord if you want to chat with me! discord.com/invite/YqRFCneGSZ
Dude, nice video, but you needed to re-use the same meme more than 10 times (I'm talking about the "you're living in a dream world" joke)? It was ok by first or second time, but then it was just boring or strait up irritating
People claim that fans who dislike the new games have "unrealstic expectations" when they ask for a game like one of the old ones. If that's true then I'd say that these GameFreak defenders are actually its biggest haters. We just want GameFreak to make games of the same quality they used to, and they defend GameFreak by saying "thats unrealistic". "Oh no, GameFreak is on the decline. Our favorite devs are so pitiful, they just can't make em like they used to."
"unrealistic expectations" feels like a complete copout excuse imo. Games of the same genre do twice as much as Pokemon do, even in their lowest points, and are praised for it. RPGs tend to be some of the most content-packed genres in gaming. What we're asking out of Pokémon is only fair given the status of the franchise as the "highest grossing media franchise", in comparison to more relatively niche series that add thrice as much content into their games because they love their fans.
Pokemon doesn't even meet the standards of a game from three generations ago. Final Fantasy 12, a PS2 game, has a more lively overworld and a better story. Calling it unrealistic is just preposterous.
ever since I was a kid I've wanted a pokemon game with multiple endings/win conditions for beating the game, not just "become champion." in the anime they make a big deal about different paths people take in regards to pokemon: there are breeders, contest trainers, etc. I wish you could specialize like that and not have to do the gym challenge and elite four every time.
Its a good idea, pokemon anime kinda explore this by having brock being a breeder/scholar and may/dawn/serena being a coordinator/performer. There are time where i wish i can just choose contest without challenging gym. Inthink Pokemon Adventure manga kinda explore this better. Not every protagonist actually want tonchallege gym and become champion. And even some who challege gym have different reason other than being a champion or pokemon master (Dawn/Platinum want to challenge gym to restore her piplup’s pride after being defeated, and gain more knowledge and real life experience as the heir of her rich family and as prof Rowan assistant)
bruh i love shiny hunting but i don't want to have to play through the whole league to finish the dex and THEN be able to have all options to hunt, i want to choose my own path and be a shiny hunter or breeder/contest trainer, i absolutely HATE battling and just want to enjoy the game(even if battling is like 90% of the game, i just want multiple options)
the only thing i disagree is about bringing back cynthia again. i mean, i dont want her to start being overrated like red and the 384833 current forms of charizard. we got cynthia in the gen 5 games and sun and moon, and we got her ancestors in legends arceus so please leave cynthia alone
@@rook7792 i wouldnt necessarily say Shes overrated, shes badass and very difficult to beat in battle unless you know exactly what you’re doing, her garchomp and milotic are tough
She, along with Red and Blue, would benefit most from Champions being in the game being kept a pleasant secret to discover upon release. (Although all of them would still benefit from it since they're amongst the most impactful characters of their respective games anyways) That way, she's there and just as tough as ever, but it's not a surprise that spoils the mood by overfocusing on the same few since every other Champion (including N and Nemona) would also be included.
New game+ in a Pokémon game. I like the sound of that. Imagine playing the story modes where every battle in the story playthrough are competitive battles. XD
@@goGothitaLOL Yeah, needing to beat the game first to unlock an easy mode, and making easy mode and hard mode version exclusive from each other is the most backwards thinking ever.
just imagine a pokemon game as huge and storywise amazing as DragonQuest 11 or Persona 5. I know pokemon can´t have as dark themes as Persona 5, but Dragon Quest 11 deepness of story should be possible. If they would release a pokemon game as amazing as Dragon Quest 11 I would be super happy
@@roxasbaker BW and SM are only dark in comparison to other Pokemon main stories, which is an incredibly low bar to pass. That said, I do think that also means they're good in that regard; they touch upon slightly darker themes than usual in still a fairly kid-friendly way. Hell, a certain NPC interaction that can be found in gen 5 is basically a couple having a mature breakup, realizing they have two opposite lifestyles and thus can't stay with each other, but with no exagerrated drama; just the two going their own ways.
Most countries are undergoing economic hardships. While the video game industry has grown in the last 2 recessions, not everyone can afford to buy 2 or 3 mainline pokemon games in the span of a year, especially when their costs of living are increasing at a faster rate. Just another reason as to why GameFreak should wait until 2023 to release a new mainline game.
I totally agree Pokémon needs to give more development time to their games so they can be better both visually and practically (game play and stuff) Also you look great
Some thing I really wish most Pokémon games had would slow pacing. It feels like every town has a gym so there’s only ever gonna be like eight important locations. XY are definitely unfinished games but they’re very beginning are one of my favorite parts. There’s such a long stretch in between the two gyms that it gives you time to truly feel like you’re on an adventure instead of just gym battle to gym battle. In my own dream Pokémon game their would be enough content in the main story as to make it feel like a proper journey.
Feel the same way about Sword and Shield in terms of the gyms. There was a decent gap from the opening to the first gym (plus, we get access to the wild area during said gap).
Nice to see you again, Gireum. This was one of the topics I wanted you to talk about. Btw who's that guy in the video? He sounds just like you, except he's not a sentient jerry can. Also, YOU LIVIN' IN A DREAM WORLD!
13:35 I'm actually against the idea of tons of fanservice. I don't want a bunch of people from different games being here for no reason but to battle you especially all the time. I love Red, I love Cynthia but I'm tired of seeing them all the time. Fanservice isn't special when done too much. If they want to bring back a character while adding to their story like what they did with Anabel or Ingo that's perfectly fine, but if I have a problem with Legendaries being plopped in the game for no reason, the same thing'll go for characters. I'm all for large battles and tournaments, but we don't need a bunch of fanservice to do it.
I think they could incorporate past characters as ways to get old Pokemon or items, like Colress can give you the Pokemon fusing items. Or N visits you and you have to battle him to earn a Tao Dragon. Maybe meet Brandon to find the Regis of the region. Some details like that will help that just having those items be bought out of nowhere.
I just want returning protagonist characters that isn't Red, why does it always have to be Red and not any other Protagonist? Does GameFreak have any bias against any protagonist that isn't Red? I just wanna fight other protagonists for once, not Red
Totally agree, I think attention to detail is key for any rpg, and they are forgetting about them just to finish before deadlines. If not even the current world situation made them postpone gen 9, then nothing will stop their greed and timelines at this point. In the end it’s the fault of the consumers who buy rushed games, these games start to look more like an interactive add for the franchise (in order to sell cards, plushies, etc.). I wish Gen 9 was a new golden age for Pokémon… but making all gym leaders fight in one specific plaza of one city, makes me fear that the region will be empty, not many towns or other cities... Let’s remember how in sword and shield they started with gyms having mini games, and the last one being just a room with two trainers staring at you. Maybe this time they didn’t want to spend time doing cities and minigames using some excuse about the unique culture/story of the region.
Random idea about how to fix the cutscene pitfalls: Just make them in the anime style, similar to the recent Persona titles. The goal of the Pokémon anime was to achieve the creative vision of the Pokémon universe to begin with. Now we have the opportunity to marriage the two aspects of Pokémon into one vision. and it’s more flexible then using the existing models (apparently, at least given how Gamefreak does things). Plus, you can reuse the anime we designs for marketing, whether in the Anime series itself, or just for promotional material
oookay .. i wanna do this too before watching the video. just a quick list. - uses an engine capable of utilizing the switches hardware (xenoblade engine or dragon quest XI engine for example) - open world - you start at a different town depending on your starter - can do the first 4 and last 4 gyms in any order and they scale opproximatly - pokemon catching from arceus - focus on like 300 mons in the overworld but make a big chunk of them act/behave unique.. like volutlas in their webs and can only be caught with a specific interaction with your pokemon (burning the web?) .. stuff like this.. i want to have pokemn in the overworld act at least half as lively as in new snap - optional dungeons with legis/rare pokemon in them - story is very loose (since its open world) and told/acted out in chunks after certain milestones (reaching lv20 with a mon, beating 2 gyms etc) - dedicated online battle SIMULATOR, where you dont have to train and breed any pokemon AT ALL. you just type in numbers and lets go. call it pro-mode or something.
i like the idea of post game areas and having returning characters. if they put N back in a new game the fanbase would go crazy. i also love when GF does optional legendaries/mythical puzzle areas(like the regi's and legendary birds(even the chasing minigame the gen 8 DLC was good)) I also like sidegames where you get pokemon in them as well or better yet an in-game event like ORAS with deoxys
Here is a small wishlist i have: 1. Go back to sprites. Just dew it! 3D Pokèmon is not fun, but soulless. Go back to sprites, but HD2D, make the games in the style of Octopath Traveller. 2. ONE game. There is no need for two seperate Pokèmon games, JUST ONE. 3. Player characters with lots of customization options. 4. Rivals with an actual personality and maybe a small character arc. Oh and minimize the times we battle them. 5. Let me battle Gym leaders and Trainers with more than just three Pokèmon. 6. Make the Region and Map similar to Hoenn and Sinnoh. NO LINEARITY. Massive routes, locations and landmarks to explore. 7. New areas after becoming Champion, like towns, cities or places like the Battle Zone or the Sevii Islands. To be parts of the game mind you and not sold to us via dlc. 8. Returning characters, like Champions, Gym Leaders, Elite Fours, former villian leader and/or admins and maybe even former player characters like Brendan or Hilda and maybe even former rivals. 9. No refernce to Gen 1, no NPC or characters from Gen 1 and ban Pikachu from the Pokèdex. 10. Multiple Save Files. Sometimes i may want to play through a game again, WITHOUT having to either delet my OG save file or spend money on the other version of the game, just give me more save files.
Good graphics, the entire dex, open world and being able to challenge the gyms in any order, a story on par with B&W's, good animations for Pokémon and characters alike, and personalities for every Pokémon both when caught and when it is in the wild.
I agree with so many of your points. Especially the development time. Gen 4 lasted like four and a half years. It was the perfect length for a generation.
Fantastic video! I 100% agree. I think the development time of the game is one of the biggest problems, but they also focus on the wrong things. Fans just want a polished, well made pokemon game, not a new gimmic every generation.
‘It’s been 3 years between each gen it is fine!!’ -the DS games weren’t as hard to make since they didn’t have 3D models -ScVi is trying to be OPEN WORLD when Legends and SwSh wild area are far from technical marvels.
I cannot fucking sit here and watch this video after you’ve used the same clip 8 times at this point, I can tell it was done on purpose but it still got me
To deal with the Exp share issue they could make it so every new gym gave a level cap so you don't just overlevel and once one of your Pokémon reach that max cap, the Exp that will be split between the remaining pokemon will increase
woahhh face reveal! looking good man! 😆 i really wonder how gireums mental health is with raging constantly....im here for you man! pokemon will always be a disappointment but you'll always be an opinion im interested in hearing.😄
16:30 i'm a game developer, and everything you said is possible in 3 years even, if the game freak uses the money they have to invest in games but we are in the bad timeline
I feel like 4yrs is an appropriate amount of development time for new generations. Have dev team 1 working on the new generation for 4 years, then dev team 2 working on the in between games (Legends, remakes, DLC, whatever) for 4 years also. Then we could get a main series Pokémon game every 2 years whilst still giving each game the time it needs. We won’t get Breath of the Wild with this system, but we’ll at least get polished games at a reasonable pace. Edit: also I think 200-300 Pokémon is plenty for each game. The Pokémon are the part of the game that takes up the most resources and development time so cutting down the numbers to focus on quality would really help the overall game. 200 Pokémon in Legends Arceus felt like plenty and it made it funner to complete the Pokédex.
While I agree for most of this, and I get this is subjective, but I'm always surprised when many fans say they want a small regional dex. Like I felt the mantra of "gotta catch em all" would've spurred an excess mentality and wanting many to catching and play with. But anyway, I feel 200 feels too small. Depends on the gameplay I guess but Pokemon collecting feels like your background "final task" while your main task in the games is finishing the story, which means catching Pokemon means taking your time, and something like XY could've been fine. I hope you do support full dex compatibility to at least import them and maybe have post-game Pokemon that are outside of the regional dex.
A perfect Pokémon game is where you can create your own character and start in any region you want and are able to go to every region, and each region increases the max level by 100
My dream pokemon game: -take as long as they need -open world like scralet/violet -lets go pikachu and evee art style (its just not feasible to get the game running good when it looks more realistc even breath of the wild have a more minimalistic art style -Only focus on new pokemon for the reigon+ probly pikachu (and make them realy polished) -after release, add the rest of the pokemon through free updates (make sure they are realy polished also) - good story - maybe raise the base shiny odd back to the older games since with pokemon walking around in the over world shinys are way more common now -a gts -more livley map -level scaling for gyms (again becase its open world) -ATLEST consistant 30fps -finaly, make the game overall more polished and less glitchy than scarlet and violet I think this game would be way more posible (800+ pokemon is alot in just five years), and a minimal but good art style could make the game run better on the switch.
Let's go Eevee. I kinda enjoyed that one, but I still only got 6 badges in before I just stopped playing. That said, there is only one scene in the game that I actually find particularly memorable: the Marowak ghost. You reveal her with the silph scope, and suddenly Cubone appears, having apparently followed you. We get a nice, heartfelt scene wherein Cubone gets to say goodbye to his mother before she departs to the afterlife. But the real reason I find this scene memorable is because of the music that plays. It's only a snippet, but we hear a piano rendition of the more peaceful Lavender Town theme from Gold and Silver, which beautifully reflects the inner peace Marowak feels knowing that her son will be ok. It's the only scene I can think of from that game where it feels like they actually tried. In fact it's the only scene from the game that I've felt compelled to rewatch on youtube.
I would also want an actual Rival. You know, a smug asshole who's always a step ahead of you, rubs there success in your face and motivates you to become stronger, so you can kick there ass and make them shut up.
Honestly I think two regions may oversaturate the quality of your new region and limit certain factors of the returning region. I think GenII comes into mind. If these regions were more geographically accurate. We should have a super region that should encourage exploration by having version exclusion starter towns and gym leaders so investing the remainder of the post game should be exploring the other version exclusive content. Unova almost practically did this. Imagine if Unova had Staten Island, and Bronx with all 16 gym leaders being version exclusive with starter towns being northwest and southeast Ver exclusives.
I'm being serious when I say this: I would love a Pokémon game akin to Persona 5, where the game is broken up between building confidant relationships with Gym Leaders and the like, and battling and catching Pokémon en mass in dedicated dungeons/caves/whatever.
Seems that just one extra year is enough given that the last game we know for sure to have a 4 year development cycle was Black and White (which we know from interviews saying that they began on it when DP released). Then again, Diamond and Pearl had a year delay (was slated for 2005 (in Japan), but still ended up with its issues.
I have some to say about this, who knows, maybe I'll make my own video about it eventually, but I thought you might be interested in hearing my thoughts. So here is my "dream pokemon game" 2d vs 3d: I would prefer it to be a more modern looking pixel stylized 2d game, but I wouldn't mind 3d if it didn't look bad. Region: I would have the game take place in Kanto, Jhoto, and Hoenn, with some smaller areas that don't count as their own region, such as Orange Islands. I would keep the roadblocks at a minimum, allowing you to travel to each region without having to become league champion in your starting region first. Pokemon Leagues: I would have one gym for each pokemon type in each region, so 18 gyms per region, 54 gyms total for the 3 major leagues. I would have some minor pokemon leagues, such as the orange island league, with 4 gyms/leaders each, so maybe like.. 4 minor leagues, 16 gym badges total. Each major league only requires 8 badges to enter, but you still get specific bonuses for each badge so there's reasons to get each badge. Get all 4 badges for the minor leagues to take part in their championship. I would have a world wide pokemon league that you can participate if you become champion in one league. Gym Leaders/League Champions: I would have the leaders use different pokemon based on the number of mastery stars your party of pokemon have unlocked/available to them instead of giving them set levels/pokemon. This way the challenge can fluctuate based on the strength of your party at the given time, so you can try it with a weaker team that might work well, or still be challenged even if you think you're bringing an over powered team of pokemon. Main characters: I think instead of just getting to choose boy/girl, you should also get to choose young child, older teen, young adult, or adult. The choice changes the family you have and your rival/s. Rivals: I think a slightly toned down version of a Gary type of rival makes sense, someone who isn't an enemy, but pushes you to do better without being your friend. I didn't like the friendly rival in sun/moon. And I think you should have multiple rivals. Main Characters from previous games: I think you should get to see Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, and Ruby, and maybe add Crystal and Emerald or something, plus a few appropriate extra characters for this game to be side character rivals. Battle Challenge!: I love double/tripple battles. I feel like you shouldn't be forced to fight any NPCs, you should be able to refuse to battle any of them if you want. I want there to be a pre-battle challenge menu that pops up, it allows you to choose whether you want to engage in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 battles, as well as set the cap in the total number of pokemon you both will get to use (1-6), and allow you to choose which of your pokemon you will use first, instead of defaulting to the first pokemon in your line up. Battle System: I wouldn't abandon the battle system we've had, but I would rework it. I never really liked the idea of Technical Machines. I want to find people/places in the world where you can teach your pokemon special moves. I want to do special training and have experience go towards your pokemon mastering certain moves. Each pokemon should be able to have more than four known moves at a time, perhaps an unlimited number of moves that it actively knows, but a limited amount of mastery based on its level. Each move the pokemon knows has a mastery of between zero and three stars. Increasing the mastery of the move increases the accuracy and power of the move. The total number of mastery stars the pokemon has is limited based on its level, for example a level 10 pokemon might only have 1 total mastery star available, the number of times a pokemon uses its move allows its mastery to increase, and if a pokemon already has one mastery star used on one of its move, and its limited to one star total, it can not put a mastery star into any other moves, but I would allow for you to switch the mastery stars around using the "camp" function to help prepair/retrain your pokemon for any upcoming challenges. I would have the battle area/arena you are fighting in have more effect in battles, for example if you are surfing in water, and get a fight with a random pokemon, you might want to fight with a swimming or flying pokemon, because other pokemon would be slowed down because they aren't used to swimming in the water to fight. I would have special areas in the world available to train pokemon to overcome certain weaknesses or circumstances, for example, if you make a rock pokemon meditate under a waterfall for long enough, its weakness to water might be reduced, this sort of thing, I wouldn't rely on held items any more. Also, I might consider getting rid of held items, or reducing the amount of held items that are available for battles. Number of pokemon: I feel like we've been getting quantity over quality over the years. I might reduce the number of pokemon back down to 450 or something for this game. I would certainly consider taking some of the better/more sensical pokemon from newer generations, but I wouldn't feel obligated to include all of them because of them existing in other games. I would try to emphasize regional or sub-regional variances on a solid core set of pokemon. Strange things like.. Pink Island pokemon, crystal onix, uncommon type differences, uncommon pheno differences. I remember that people used to talk about rumors that there was a "blue version of pikachu" but it ended up being marill. I would keep exp share, but I am with you that it should be optional. I would cut out all the damn tutorials. Today I loaded up Ultra Sun to play again after some number of years having not touched it, and Rotom Kept bugging me with stupid messages every minute, I would get rid of that kind of stuff. Wild Pokemon Events: I would have flocks/herds/groups of wild pokemon be a thing in the wild. And story/side quest events based on them. The Pokemon Anime gives some good examples of this. For example, a flock of Spearow led by a Fearow are terrorizing people and pokemon in the area, you need to defeat the boss Fearow to calm down the Spearow, and maybe you can capture a pidgey from the area, raise it up to a Pidgeot and release it back into the area to lead the flock of local pidgey to keep them safe. There are lots of variations you can do with this. You could leave behind pokemon you captured in some areas and give them tasks, like cutting down trees automatically, smashing rocks, helping reduce or increase encounter rates, redirecting a waterfall, there are many possibilities. Each pokemon you release in this way, and each pokemon you release in the wild should have its own Pokemon ID number that gets attached to the route/area you release them in, and you should have a chance to encounter the pokemon you released to battle against, possibly with the chance to re-capture it automatically or at least easier than a normal wild pokemon. Pokemon released like this might get some xp over time, maybe if they are too high a level when you find them again you can't capture them without beating them in battle because they think they're too strong for you. Bad Guys: I wouldn't rule out having bad guys, but I don't believe it would be necessary to a good game to have bad guys. There's only so many times you can "save the world" as a 10 year old that it gets boring. Things not to do: I don't like "check back daily" or "check back after a timer" based things, they are mainly meant to keep people coming back to games in general without adding anything significant to the game itself. Don't keep doing tutorals hours into the game. Don't annoy people with constant rotom messages popping up. Don't waste peoples time with useless stuff. Make the game load/run/transition smoothly from menus and maps, if it doesn't feel quick/responsive to go through menus than you are just wasting peoples time. Give people a "skip story" mode they can activate to remove story events and pre-battle text chat that NPCs like to annoy you with. Give people the "VS Seeker" or a version of it right from the start, let people challenge NPC trainers as often as they want. Oh gosh I think I have more thoughts but I ran out of time to write them all, maybe I should make a video.
Yes exactly and the funny thing is that what you've mentioned is the bare minimum considering that they already reached that point by 2012 and that other franchises already do that regularly. Imagine, in addition to that, things like good rewamped contests a la ORAS, a good expanded Pokemon Amie that doesn't hinder gameplay, minigames like the game corner ones (without the gambling aspect) or the Pokemon Stadium ones, proper side quests and exploration and secrets. The Pokemon franchise really has lots of potential, if only they were made in the same vein as a Xenoblade or a Dragon Quest...
5:40 highly agree about having 2 regions man, the most enjoyable Pokémon games or at least best end games were definitely the games with two regions, so damn fun, and makes you feel like your only halfway done when you beat the “main story” ( first region). Better yet if the main story continues into the second region and isn’t actually end games but just the second half of the game
I have to agree with most of the points brought up here, great video overall. However, the ‘dream world,’ clip’s use began to distract from the actual point of the video imo, bar that, well constructed video
Gen 5 with ridable pokemon and gen 7 exp share That's all I need,and all I could ever want Don't change the graphics or anything like that even since gen 5 has it's unique style
Ok so after gen 9 announcement, I just had a thought that maybe they will stop making European regions for a while and make a combined remake of the three (sw/sh, x/y, scar,vi) featuring all three regions but again let's not forget it's *Gamefreak* Also something extra, (which I am addressing kinda out of frustration) After playing every gen people point out *InDiA* region hints/leaks in game but , here's the fact, they will never make an Indian region in near future cause of Nintendo not officialy being in India and Indians not getting paid enough to buy *$60* games which also don't have any sales at any point in the year(why hints then? Maybe cause of India having largest pkmn fanbase after Merica and Japan and both of these countries have one/more region on them) Bruh I just typed an essay 🥲
@@TuesdaysArt yup italy was a new entry to the next region prediction trend... But honestly it also being linear shaped like Galar/uk, personally I prefer the current Iberian peninsula based region over it
My dream Pokemon game: - Black Trilogy and White Trilogy - Graphics similar to B2W2 but HD pixel art for characters (human and pokemon) and hd pixel art textures for environments - Needing to beat B1W1 before B2W2 before B3W3 - $60 - $70 per trilogy in full (unless if $20 DLC for a full B4W4 or B0W0 years down the line) - 5+ years of development for B3W3 after 3 years of development for a port with enhancements of B1W1 and B2W2 to use as a base for B3W3. - Outsource to trusted indie devs (Toby Fox, Pokemon rom hackers, Pokemon fan game devs, etc) or other big companies (Capcom (they did that with Minish Cap in the Zelda series), Konami, Microsoft, etc) Pokemon games in the meanwhile if TPC *has* to have new Pokemon content almost every year to allow BTWT to be great
game freak made the greatest pokemon games ever which is B&W2 but the community at that time bitched so much and hated their work since that time we never saw a good pokemon game ever 😔
As long as there is no financial incentive for Game Freak it will never happen. Rush crap sell as well or even better than the old stuff, why would they make any efforts ?
my dream pokemon game would be to include all families (at whatever stage you catch it doesn't matter), puzzles for legendary pokemon, and certain abnormal requirements for unlocking quests for mythicals (similar to how ORAS does with some of its legendaries).
6:38 this. i know people want "every mon to return!!" but the truth is that it just makes the region feel super unnatural and overshadows newly added pokemon
I agree on all the things and want to add one point, they have to remove this "friendship bonus" bullshit because it kills the whole gameplay, why bother with heal items or attacks if the pokemon just cures itself and survives endlessly also crits every 2nd move.
I agree with everything stated here... Cept one thing.... I don't really need the Nat Dex back if we can have a good chunk of returning and new I'll be happy but as someone who likes Comp if I have to run into Land T or the Tapus or ,Arceus forbid, Garchomp and and the other common OU staples I will tear my hair out.
Well many like me do, but if you're worried about Lando-T running around (which is still a thing now seeing it's in SwSh Expansion Pass), just have a customizable banlist feature, where you can host a tournament with a set of Pokemon (like imagine a cat-only tier hehe).
@@zjzr08 Yeah I know and it infuriates me and honestly that's a lot of work to set up and actually have people join. But that defeats the point of if I want to play the game I've still got a 90%+ chance to run into the busted things without the Nat Dex with roughly 400-500 pokes its eaiser to leave them out or build around that isn't the same 5-6 Pokemon on everybody's teams
@@crossslashgod8450 You'd be surprised how dedicated fans can be in building their dream scenarios (Super Mario Maker exist after all), although customizable banlists would at least make a compromise for collectors and battlers. They can just officially do ranked battles too with only the Regional Dex if that's the issue. Even then with how popular legendaries are (the infamous "teleporter rings" comes back in recent games) I just think Legendary Pokemon being part of the meta is just likely to stay.
@@crossslashgod8450 Also wouldn't more Pokemon mean more spread out usage, I mean I remember the Gen 4 days where they kinda spam Scizor and some Shaymin.
@@zjzr08 Naw man Gen 8 was actually a really surprising in showing how well matches could differentiate if you put some interesting mons into the mix and I don't despise legend spam because you can usually outplay it with an off meta team comp that nobody expects.
The anime and the games do give a lot of other career choices other than champion that we technically get to try out but isn't the main goal. Coordinator, breeder, athlete, movie star, research assistant, etc. I wish that we could do those as the main story rather than a side mission. They could even incorporate the champion challenge in a new way like being a specialty trainer and being able to battle gym leaders, elite four, and champions of that specialty to be the best trainer of that type in the world (the latter is probably unrealistic).
Some actually have some basis in the games too, with quite a few rivals (notably Bianca and Hop) becoming assistants to their respective professors, as well as Pokestar Studios being amongst the most elaborate side modes in the series. It'd definitely be nice if they were acknowledged as possible final options as much as just getting the League Championship was.
@@extremmefan7305 I feel like giving us other options for journeys will help the longevity of pokemon. We already went back to Kanto 3 times and nothing has changed substantially. It would be cool if in oras we got to be a coordinator and have lisia be our main rival and Wallace our champion. They could change contests to be more like the anime so you still get experince for them. It could even be harder since you're judged by your moves so there would be a bit of strategy in how you battle. Then they could do something similar in sinnoh. I think something like this could breath new life into remakes without changing much. They could also just do a complete re-imagining of the story to go along with your new job. I also wouldn't mind a more tame game with no evil team and you just work on beating the battle frontier as your main goal. Another idea would be becoming a movie star with your partner pokemon. Working with Sabrina and brycen again. Meeting diantha, Valerie (for costume design), or even rihan (as a publicity thing) and getting to battle them once you impress them with your skills. There's a lot they can do if they change the formula.
something i would love to see adapted are some of the locations from the pokemon movies. they could be dlc or post game areas but i always though it would be fun to experience the locations of the movies and there's so much potential in that. the pokemon race in the water from the 5th movie. contest in the city ash and co. were at in the darkrai movie. How a about a battle tower fashioned after pokemon's 3rd movie with its own story etc etc
IMO they should show the EVs particularly at the start, although the IVs could be a post-game thing, seeing they obviously don't want your main story experience to be finding the "perfect battler" hehe.
My idea is that instead of making half baked games they rush because they need to sell more merchandise is that instead of making a game in arround 3 years, they make a game in double the time, but they add double the pokemon they normaly would add, so Ishihara is happy, and if you ask about what about the anime? Simple, you add another region and make a sequel of the season of the anime that got that region YOU ARE LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD
I want pokemon legends unova (mainly because Unova used to be a kingdom and it’ll be fun seeing the war between the two brothers. (It would be cool if they pulled a fire emblem and had one game support one brother and the other support the other brother) Original Dragon would be cool too.) I want either that or just a good 3D remake of Unova with good graphics that combine BW1 with BW2 more seamlessly (Making you have a choice to play a “combined” experience where you have to play BW1 before BW2 with the added caveat that when you beat BW2, the post game final boss would be your own character and team from BW1 in the ruins of N’s castle. Or you could play a “separated experience” where you don’t get to battle yourself in the postgame, instead that battle is replaced with a battle against N, but you get the choice to play BW2 before BW1 (idk why you want to do that, but you can).
The only problem with Kalos being the second region for a Spain region is that Kalos is exclusively Northern France. So either you make Southern France essentially a third region, or you make the entire other half of France barren of gyms. I guess it could have the Battle Frontier?
@@zjzr08 See I understand his points but Pokemon need to maintain but the anime and games and make sure anime and games are connected And if Arcs are extended via filler, then people will complain that pokemon has too much filler I hope you understand what I am saying

People claim that fans who dislike the new games have "unrealstic expectations" when they ask for a game like one of the old ones. If that's true then I'd say that these GameFreak defenders are actually its biggest haters. We just want GameFreak to make games of the same quality they used to, and they defend GameFreak by saying "thats unrealistic". "Oh no, GameFreak is on the decline. Our favorite devs are so pitiful, they just can't make em like they used to."
GF is turning into modernDisney, and not in a good way
@@magicwandstudio3141 we already have modern disney, because they make the modern show.
@@magicwandstudio3141 you got that backwards doc more like EA*
"unrealistic expectations" feels like a complete copout excuse imo. Games of the same genre do twice as much as Pokemon do, even in their lowest points, and are praised for it.
RPGs tend to be some of the most content-packed genres in gaming. What we're asking out of Pokémon is only fair given the status of the franchise as the "highest grossing media franchise", in comparison to more relatively niche series that add thrice as much content into their games because they love their fans.
Pokemon doesn't even meet the standards of a game from three generations ago. Final Fantasy 12, a PS2 game, has a more lively overworld and a better story. Calling it unrealistic is just preposterous.

@@M3LP fr don't ruin my favorite gen 😭 wait till they get their shit together
ever since I was a kid I've wanted a pokemon game with multiple endings/win conditions for beating the game, not just "become champion." in the anime they make a big deal about different paths people take in regards to pokemon: there are breeders, contest trainers, etc. I wish you could specialize like that and not have to do the gym challenge and elite four every time.
Yeah.
I literally just wanna be the best Bug Catcher in the region. Set up a gym. I don't care about the Championship.
Its a good idea, pokemon anime kinda explore this by having brock being a breeder/scholar and may/dawn/serena being a coordinator/performer. There are time where i wish i can just choose contest without challenging gym. Inthink Pokemon Adventure manga kinda explore this better. Not every protagonist actually want tonchallege gym and become champion. And even some who challege gym have different reason other than being a champion or pokemon master (Dawn/Platinum want to challenge gym to restore her piplup’s pride after being defeated, and gain more knowledge and real life experience as the heir of her rich family and as prof Rowan assistant)
bruh i love shiny hunting but i don't want to have to play through the whole league to finish the dex and THEN be able to have all options to hunt, i want to choose my own path and be a shiny hunter or breeder/contest trainer, i absolutely HATE battling and just want to enjoy the game(even if battling is like 90% of the game, i just want multiple options)
I wanna steal others powkemons and be on the bad team while slowly turn good and see the error of my ways. I wanna start wars and fix them

the only thing i disagree is about bringing back cynthia again. i mean, i dont want her to start being overrated like red and the 384833 current forms of charizard. we got cynthia in the gen 5 games and sun and moon, and we got her ancestors in legends arceus so please leave cynthia alone
She became overrated long before that
@@rook7792 i wouldnt necessarily say Shes overrated, shes badass and very difficult to beat in battle unless you know exactly what you’re doing, her garchomp and milotic are tough
She, along with Red and Blue, would benefit most from Champions being in the game being kept a pleasant secret to discover upon release. (Although all of them would still benefit from it since they're amongst the most impactful characters of their respective games anyways)
That way, she's there and just as tough as ever, but it's not a surprise that spoils the mood by overfocusing on the same few since every other Champion (including N and Nemona) would also be included.
I think an ideal Pokemon game has difficulty options, a good postgame/battle frontier, and new game plus.
Black white 2 did it. Future games should do it too
@@LordLad666 BW2 Has New Game Plus?
New game+ in a Pokémon game. I like the sound of that. Imagine playing the story modes where every battle in the story playthrough are competitive battles. XD
@@ZimVerse no, it has difficulty options (but with a catch)
@@goGothitaLOL Yeah, needing to beat the game first to unlock an easy mode, and making easy mode and hard mode version exclusive from each other is the most backwards thinking ever.
just imagine a pokemon game as huge and storywise amazing as DragonQuest 11 or Persona 5. I know pokemon can´t have as dark themes as Persona 5, but Dragon Quest 11 deepness of story should be possible. If they would release a pokemon game as amazing as Dragon Quest 11 I would be super happy
DQ11 was incredible! A pokémon game like that would be unbelievable.
Black and white was dark tbh
@@roxasbaker ah yes, 16 yo beat evil guy for evil things. The deepest story ever made.
@@roxasbaker I love black and white to death but no, no they weren't dark at all
@@roxasbaker BW and SM are only dark in comparison to other Pokemon main stories, which is an incredibly low bar to pass.
That said, I do think that also means they're good in that regard; they touch upon slightly darker themes than usual in still a fairly kid-friendly way. Hell, a certain NPC interaction that can be found in gen 5 is basically a couple having a mature breakup, realizing they have two opposite lifestyles and thus can't stay with each other, but with no exagerrated drama; just the two going their own ways.
You living in a dream world.
You're*
@matthewchi5292 no father figure*
Most countries are undergoing economic hardships. While the video game industry has grown in the last 2 recessions, not everyone can afford to buy 2 or 3 mainline pokemon games in the span of a year, especially when their costs of living are increasing at a faster rate. Just another reason as to why GameFreak should wait until 2023 to release a new mainline game.
I totally agree Pokémon needs to give more development time to their games so they can be better both visually and practically (game play and stuff)
Also you look great
YOU'RE LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD
Some thing I really wish most Pokémon games had would slow pacing. It feels like every town has a gym so there’s only ever gonna be like eight important locations. XY are definitely unfinished games but they’re very beginning are one of my favorite parts. There’s such a long stretch in between the two gyms that it gives you time to truly feel like you’re on an adventure instead of just gym battle to gym battle. In my own dream Pokémon game their would be enough content in the main story as to make it feel like a proper journey.
Feel the same way about Sword and Shield in terms of the gyms. There was a decent gap from the opening to the first gym (plus, we get access to the wild area during said gap).
Nice to see you again, Gireum. This was one of the topics I wanted you to talk about. Btw who's that guy in the video? He sounds just like you, except he's not a sentient jerry can.
Also, YOU LIVIN' IN A DREAM WORLD!
Yeah, who is he?
13:35 I'm actually against the idea of tons of fanservice. I don't want a bunch of people from different games being here for no reason but to battle you especially all the time. I love Red, I love Cynthia but I'm tired of seeing them all the time. Fanservice isn't special when done too much. If they want to bring back a character while adding to their story like what they did with Anabel or Ingo that's perfectly fine, but if I have a problem with Legendaries being plopped in the game for no reason, the same thing'll go for characters. I'm all for large battles and tournaments, but we don't need a bunch of fanservice to do it.
I think they could incorporate past characters as ways to get old Pokemon or items, like Colress can give you the Pokemon fusing items. Or N visits you and you have to battle him to earn a Tao Dragon. Maybe meet Brandon to find the Regis of the region. Some details like that will help that just having those items be bought out of nowhere.
I just want returning protagonist characters that isn't Red, why does it always have to be Red and not any other Protagonist? Does GameFreak have any bias against any protagonist that isn't Red? I just wanna fight other protagonists for once, not Red
Totally agree, I think attention to detail is key for any rpg, and they are forgetting about them just to finish before deadlines. If not even the current world situation made them postpone gen 9, then nothing will stop their greed and timelines at this point.
In the end it’s the fault of the consumers who buy rushed games, these games start to look more like an interactive add for the franchise (in order to sell cards, plushies, etc.).
I wish Gen 9 was a new golden age for Pokémon… but making all gym leaders fight in one specific plaza of one city, makes me fear that the region will be empty, not many towns or other cities... Let’s remember how in sword and shield they started with gyms having mini games, and the last one being just a room with two trainers staring at you. Maybe this time they didn’t want to spend time doing cities and minigames using some excuse about the unique culture/story of the region.
Random idea about how to fix the cutscene pitfalls: Just make them in the anime style, similar to the recent Persona titles. The goal of the Pokémon anime was to achieve the creative vision of the Pokémon universe to begin with. Now we have the opportunity to marriage the two aspects of Pokémon into one vision. and it’s more flexible then using the existing models (apparently, at least given how Gamefreak does things).
Plus, you can reuse the anime we designs for marketing, whether in the Anime series itself, or just for promotional material
You're living in a dream world.
"Your living in a dream world"
I feel was annoying as shit
Great vid tho :)
I did not expect a face reveal. Looking good mate
YOU’RE LIVIN IN A DREAM WORLD
oookay .. i wanna do this too before watching the video. just a quick list.
- uses an engine capable of utilizing the switches hardware (xenoblade engine or dragon quest XI engine for example)
- open world
- you start at a different town depending on your starter
- can do the first 4 and last 4 gyms in any order and they scale opproximatly
- pokemon catching from arceus
- focus on like 300 mons in the overworld but make a big chunk of them act/behave unique.. like volutlas in their webs and can only be caught with a specific interaction with your pokemon (burning the web?) .. stuff like this.. i want to have pokemn in the overworld act at least half as lively as in new snap
- optional dungeons with legis/rare pokemon in them
- story is very loose (since its open world) and told/acted out in chunks after certain milestones (reaching lv20 with a mon, beating 2 gyms etc)
- dedicated online battle SIMULATOR, where you dont have to train and breed any pokemon AT ALL. you just type in numbers and lets go. call it pro-mode or something.
i like the idea of post game areas and having returning characters. if they put N back in a new game the fanbase would go crazy.
i also love when GF does optional legendaries/mythical puzzle areas(like the regi's and legendary birds(even the chasing minigame the gen 8 DLC was good)) I also like sidegames where you get pokemon in them as well or better yet an in-game event like ORAS with deoxys
Unfortunately, Pokemon will never be delayed and put off merch, as >70% of Pokémon’s revenue is merch…
Here is a small wishlist i have:
1. Go back to sprites. Just dew it! 3D Pokèmon is not fun, but soulless. Go back to sprites, but HD2D, make the games in the style of Octopath Traveller.
2. ONE game. There is no need for two seperate Pokèmon games, JUST ONE.
3. Player characters with lots of customization options.
4. Rivals with an actual personality and maybe a small character arc. Oh and minimize the times we battle them.
5. Let me battle Gym leaders and Trainers with more than just three Pokèmon.
6. Make the Region and Map similar to Hoenn and Sinnoh. NO LINEARITY. Massive routes, locations and landmarks to explore.
7. New areas after becoming Champion, like towns, cities or places like the Battle Zone or the Sevii Islands. To be parts of the game mind you and not sold to us via dlc.
8. Returning characters, like Champions, Gym Leaders, Elite Fours, former villian leader and/or admins and maybe even former player characters like Brendan or Hilda and maybe even former rivals.
9. No refernce to Gen 1, no NPC or characters from Gen 1 and ban Pikachu from the Pokèdex.
10. Multiple Save Files. Sometimes i may want to play through a game again, WITHOUT having to either delet my OG save file or spend money on the other version of the game, just give me more save files.
9. That's Literally Never Gonna Happen xD
I feel like sprites are overrated af lol but I agree with the other points
Good graphics, the entire dex, open world and being able to challenge the gyms in any order, a story on par with B&W's, good animations for Pokémon and characters alike, and personalities for every Pokémon both when caught and when it is in the wild.
I agree with so many of your points. Especially the development time. Gen 4 lasted like four and a half years. It was the perfect length for a generation.
Fantastic video! I 100% agree. I think the development time of the game is one of the biggest problems, but they also focus on the wrong things. Fans just want a polished, well made pokemon game, not a new gimmic every generation.
‘It’s been 3 years between each gen it is fine!!’
-the DS games weren’t as hard to make since they didn’t have 3D models
-ScVi is trying to be OPEN WORLD when Legends and SwSh wild area are far from technical marvels.
“They have multiple teams!!”
-the only other game I can think of which has this function is Sonic when they made 06 and Secret rings at the same time
I cannot fucking sit here and watch this video after you’ve used the same clip 8 times at this point, I can tell it was done on purpose but it still got me
pretty reasonable list of ideas similar to mine and others, great video.
Also, nice face reveal. you look good :)
To deal with the Exp share issue they could make it so every new gym gave a level cap so you don't just overlevel and once one of your Pokémon reach that max cap, the Exp that will be split between the remaining pokemon will increase
Heartgold and Soulsilver is a bit closer to what you're describing.
who's that person hijacking your voice, they don't have a oil can head, clearly an imposter
woahhh face reveal! looking good man! 😆

Hey gireum I’m excited for this video! Thank you for your content, it always makes my day!
gireum for president of game freak
I feel like 4yrs is an appropriate amount of development time for new generations.
Have dev team 1 working on the new generation for 4 years, then dev team 2 working on the in between games (Legends, remakes, DLC, whatever) for 4 years also. Then we could get a main series Pokémon game every 2 years whilst still giving each game the time it needs.
We won’t get Breath of the Wild with this system, but we’ll at least get polished games at a reasonable pace.
Edit:
also I think 200-300 Pokémon is plenty for each game. The Pokémon are the part of the game that takes up the most resources and development time so cutting down the numbers to focus on quality would really help the overall game. 200 Pokémon in Legends Arceus felt like plenty and it made it funner to complete the Pokédex.
While I agree for most of this, and I get this is subjective, but I'm always surprised when many fans say they want a small regional dex. Like I felt the mantra of "gotta catch em all" would've spurred an excess mentality and wanting many to catching and play with.
But anyway, I feel 200 feels too small. Depends on the gameplay I guess but Pokemon collecting feels like your background "final task" while your main task in the games is finishing the story, which means catching Pokemon means taking your time, and something like XY could've been fine.
I hope you do support full dex compatibility to at least import them and maybe have post-game Pokemon that are outside of the regional dex.
A perfect Pokémon game is where you can create your own character and start in any region you want and are able to go to every region, and each region increases the max level by 100
My dream pokemon game:
-take as long as they need
-open world like scralet/violet
-lets go pikachu and evee art style (its just not feasible to get the game running good when it looks more realistc even breath of the wild have a more minimalistic art style
-Only focus on new pokemon for the reigon+ probly pikachu (and make them realy polished)
-after release, add the rest of the pokemon through free updates (make sure they are realy polished also)
- good story
- maybe raise the base shiny odd back to the older games since with pokemon walking around in the over world shinys are way more common now
-a gts
-more livley map
-level scaling for gyms (again becase its open world)
-ATLEST consistant 30fps
-finaly, make the game overall more polished and less glitchy than scarlet and violet
I think this game would be way more posible (800+ pokemon is alot in just five years), and a minimal but good art style could make the game run better on the switch.
Gen 9 being revealed was supposed to make me happy but honestly I'm not, its too damn soon but its Game Freak after all
Let's go Eevee. I kinda enjoyed that one, but I still only got 6 badges in before I just stopped playing. That said, there is only one scene in the game that I actually find particularly memorable: the Marowak ghost. You reveal her with the silph scope, and suddenly Cubone appears, having apparently followed you. We get a nice, heartfelt scene wherein Cubone gets to say goodbye to his mother before she departs to the afterlife. But the real reason I find this scene memorable is because of the music that plays. It's only a snippet, but we hear a piano rendition of the more peaceful Lavender Town theme from Gold and Silver, which beautifully reflects the inner peace Marowak feels knowing that her son will be ok. It's the only scene I can think of from that game where it feels like they actually tried. In fact it's the only scene from the game that I've felt compelled to rewatch on youtube.
Me: Tries to watch a video about someone's views on Pokemon
The video every 5 seconds: YoU'rE lIvInG iN a DrEaM wOrLd!
Like Skyrim it should have many dungeons on the map, many places to go and many mini missions.
The "you're living in a dream world" meme has me dead everytime lmao
A game where you can start in any of the gen 1-7 regions and could travel to other after beating that regions story or missions
I would also want an actual Rival.
You know, a smug asshole who's always a step ahead of you, rubs there success in your face and motivates you to become stronger, so you can kick there ass and make them shut up.
Honestly I think two regions may oversaturate the quality of your new region and limit certain factors of the returning region. I think GenII comes into mind.
If these regions were more geographically accurate. We should have a super region that should encourage exploration by having version exclusion starter towns and gym leaders so investing the remainder of the post game should be exploring the other version exclusive content. Unova almost practically did this.
Imagine if Unova had Staten Island, and Bronx with all 16 gym leaders being version exclusive with starter towns being northwest and southeast Ver exclusives.
I'm being serious when I say this: I would love a Pokémon game akin to Persona 5, where the game is broken up between building confidant relationships with Gym Leaders and the like, and battling and catching Pokémon en mass in dedicated dungeons/caves/whatever.
This but like, remove all the “you’re living in a dream world’s!”
Seems that just one extra year is enough given that the last game we know for sure to have a 4 year development cycle was Black and White (which we know from interviews saying that they began on it when DP released). Then again, Diamond and Pearl had a year delay (was slated for 2005 (in Japan), but still ended up with its issues.
I have some to say about this, who knows, maybe I'll make my own video about it eventually, but I thought you might be interested in hearing my thoughts. So here is my "dream pokemon game"
2d vs 3d: I would prefer it to be a more modern looking pixel stylized 2d game, but I wouldn't mind 3d if it didn't look bad.
Region: I would have the game take place in Kanto, Jhoto, and Hoenn, with some smaller areas that don't count as their own region, such as Orange Islands. I would keep the roadblocks at a minimum, allowing you to travel to each region without having to become league champion in your starting region first.
Pokemon Leagues: I would have one gym for each pokemon type in each region, so 18 gyms per region, 54 gyms total for the 3 major leagues. I would have some minor pokemon leagues, such as the orange island league, with 4 gyms/leaders each, so maybe like.. 4 minor leagues, 16 gym badges total. Each major league only requires 8 badges to enter, but you still get specific bonuses for each badge so there's reasons to get each badge. Get all 4 badges for the minor leagues to take part in their championship. I would have a world wide pokemon league that you can participate if you become champion in one league.
Gym Leaders/League Champions: I would have the leaders use different pokemon based on the number of mastery stars your party of pokemon have unlocked/available to them instead of giving them set levels/pokemon. This way the challenge can fluctuate based on the strength of your party at the given time, so you can try it with a weaker team that might work well, or still be challenged even if you think you're bringing an over powered team of pokemon.
Main characters: I think instead of just getting to choose boy/girl, you should also get to choose young child, older teen, young adult, or adult. The choice changes the family you have and your rival/s.
Rivals: I think a slightly toned down version of a Gary type of rival makes sense, someone who isn't an enemy, but pushes you to do better without being your friend. I didn't like the friendly rival in sun/moon. And I think you should have multiple rivals.
Main Characters from previous games: I think you should get to see Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, and Ruby, and maybe add Crystal and Emerald or something, plus a few appropriate extra characters for this game to be side character rivals.
Battle Challenge!: I love double/tripple battles. I feel like you shouldn't be forced to fight any NPCs, you should be able to refuse to battle any of them if you want. I want there to be a pre-battle challenge menu that pops up, it allows you to choose whether you want to engage in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 battles, as well as set the cap in the total number of pokemon you both will get to use (1-6), and allow you to choose which of your pokemon you will use first, instead of defaulting to the first pokemon in your line up.
Battle System: I wouldn't abandon the battle system we've had, but I would rework it. I never really liked the idea of Technical Machines. I want to find people/places in the world where you can teach your pokemon special moves. I want to do special training and have experience go towards your pokemon mastering certain moves. Each pokemon should be able to have more than four known moves at a time, perhaps an unlimited number of moves that it actively knows, but a limited amount of mastery based on its level. Each move the pokemon knows has a mastery of between zero and three stars. Increasing the mastery of the move increases the accuracy and power of the move. The total number of mastery stars the pokemon has is limited based on its level, for example a level 10 pokemon might only have 1 total mastery star available, the number of times a pokemon uses its move allows its mastery to increase, and if a pokemon already has one mastery star used on one of its move, and its limited to one star total, it can not put a mastery star into any other moves, but I would allow for you to switch the mastery stars around using the "camp" function to help prepair/retrain your pokemon for any upcoming challenges.
I would have the battle area/arena you are fighting in have more effect in battles, for example if you are surfing in water, and get a fight with a random pokemon, you might want to fight with a swimming or flying pokemon, because other pokemon would be slowed down because they aren't used to swimming in the water to fight.
I would have special areas in the world available to train pokemon to overcome certain weaknesses or circumstances, for example, if you make a rock pokemon meditate under a waterfall for long enough, its weakness to water might be reduced, this sort of thing, I wouldn't rely on held items any more.
Also, I might consider getting rid of held items, or reducing the amount of held items that are available for battles.
Number of pokemon: I feel like we've been getting quantity over quality over the years. I might reduce the number of pokemon back down to 450 or something for this game. I would certainly consider taking some of the better/more sensical pokemon from newer generations, but I wouldn't feel obligated to include all of them because of them existing in other games. I would try to emphasize regional or sub-regional variances on a solid core set of pokemon. Strange things like.. Pink Island pokemon, crystal onix, uncommon type differences, uncommon pheno differences. I remember that people used to talk about rumors that there was a "blue version of pikachu" but it ended up being marill.
I would keep exp share, but I am with you that it should be optional.
I would cut out all the damn tutorials. Today I loaded up Ultra Sun to play again after some number of years having not touched it, and Rotom Kept bugging me with stupid messages every minute, I would get rid of that kind of stuff.
Wild Pokemon Events: I would have flocks/herds/groups of wild pokemon be a thing in the wild. And story/side quest events based on them. The Pokemon Anime gives some good examples of this. For example, a flock of Spearow led by a Fearow are terrorizing people and pokemon in the area, you need to defeat the boss Fearow to calm down the Spearow, and maybe you can capture a pidgey from the area, raise it up to a Pidgeot and release it back into the area to lead the flock of local pidgey to keep them safe. There are lots of variations you can do with this. You could leave behind pokemon you captured in some areas and give them tasks, like cutting down trees automatically, smashing rocks, helping reduce or increase encounter rates, redirecting a waterfall, there are many possibilities. Each pokemon you release in this way, and each pokemon you release in the wild should have its own Pokemon ID number that gets attached to the route/area you release them in, and you should have a chance to encounter the pokemon you released to battle against, possibly with the chance to re-capture it automatically or at least easier than a normal wild pokemon. Pokemon released like this might get some xp over time, maybe if they are too high a level when you find them again you can't capture them without beating them in battle because they think they're too strong for you.
Bad Guys: I wouldn't rule out having bad guys, but I don't believe it would be necessary to a good game to have bad guys. There's only so many times you can "save the world" as a 10 year old that it gets boring.
Things not to do: I don't like "check back daily" or "check back after a timer" based things, they are mainly meant to keep people coming back to games in general without adding anything significant to the game itself. Don't keep doing tutorals hours into the game. Don't annoy people with constant rotom messages popping up. Don't waste peoples time with useless stuff.
Make the game load/run/transition smoothly from menus and maps, if it doesn't feel quick/responsive to go through menus than you are just wasting peoples time. Give people a "skip story" mode they can activate to remove story events and pre-battle text chat that NPCs like to annoy you with.
Give people the "VS Seeker" or a version of it right from the start, let people challenge NPC trainers as often as they want.
Oh gosh I think I have more thoughts but I ran out of time to write them all, maybe I should make a video.

(YOU'RE) WE'RE LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD!
Yes exactly and the funny thing is that what you've mentioned is the bare minimum considering that they already reached that point by 2012 and that other franchises already do that regularly.
Imagine, in addition to that, things like good rewamped contests a la ORAS, a good expanded Pokemon Amie that doesn't hinder gameplay, minigames like the game corner ones (without the gambling aspect) or the Pokemon Stadium ones, proper side quests and exploration and secrets.
The Pokemon franchise really has lots of potential, if only they were made in the same vein as a Xenoblade or a Dragon Quest...
My dream Gireum Red Video doesn't spam "You're living in a dream world" every 5 seconds. Thx
5:40 highly agree about having 2 regions man, the most enjoyable Pokémon games or at least best end games were definitely the games with two regions, so damn fun, and makes you feel like your only halfway done when you beat the “main story” ( first region). Better yet if the main story continues into the second region and isn’t actually end games but just the second half of the game
I agree, I find your dreams not at all that unrealistic. We could have that.
I have to agree with most of the points brought up here, great video overall. However, the ‘dream world,’ clip’s use began to distract from the actual point of the video imo, bar that, well constructed video
Gen 5 with ridable pokemon and gen 7 exp share
That's all I need,and all I could ever want
Don't change the graphics or anything like that even since gen 5 has it's unique style
Ok so after gen 9 announcement, I just had a thought that maybe they will stop making European regions for a while and make a combined remake of the three (sw/sh, x/y, scar,vi) featuring all three regions but again let's not forget it's *Gamefreak*
Also something extra, (which I am addressing kinda out of frustration)
After playing every gen people point out *InDiA* region hints/leaks in game but , here's the fact, they will never make an Indian region in near future cause of Nintendo not officialy being in India and Indians not getting paid enough to buy *$60* games which also don't have any sales at any point in the year(why hints then? Maybe cause of India having largest pkmn fanbase after Merica and Japan and both of these countries have one/more region on them)
Bruh I just typed an essay 🥲
I remember when people thought the next region was going to be Italy because of a painting in BDSP...
@@TuesdaysArt yup italy was a new entry to the next region prediction trend... But honestly it also being linear shaped like Galar/uk, personally I prefer the current Iberian peninsula based region over it
It would definitely have to have 2 regions like soul silver and pokemon following u and overworld shinies
Yesss...all of this! Idk why BDSP couldn't make shiny overworld Pokémon if they're just using the same models that they use for following Pokémon.
@@TuesdaysArt yh they just saved it for pla to mug us off even more
Black 2 and White 2 I typed as you said it!!!! Let's goo
My dream Pokemon game:
- Black Trilogy and White Trilogy
- Graphics similar to B2W2 but HD pixel art for characters (human and pokemon) and hd pixel art textures for environments
- Needing to beat B1W1 before B2W2 before B3W3
- $60 - $70 per trilogy in full (unless if $20 DLC for a full B4W4 or B0W0 years down the line)
- 5+ years of development for B3W3 after 3 years of development for a port with enhancements of B1W1 and B2W2 to use as a base for B3W3.
- Outsource to trusted indie devs (Toby Fox, Pokemon rom hackers, Pokemon fan game devs, etc) or other big companies (Capcom (they did that with Minish Cap in the Zelda series), Konami, Microsoft, etc) Pokemon games in the meanwhile if TPC *has* to have new Pokemon content almost every year to allow BTWT to be great
The dream - growing up - was always having all the region’s open and choosing where you started. Letting you travel eventually to all regions.
game freak made the greatest pokemon games ever which is B&W2 but the community at that time bitched so much and hated their work since that time we never saw a good pokemon game ever 😔
As long as there is no financial incentive for Game Freak it will never happen. Rush crap sell as well or even better than the old stuff, why would they make any efforts ?
my dream pokemon game would be to include all families (at whatever stage you catch it doesn't matter), puzzles for legendary pokemon, and certain abnormal requirements for unlocking quests for mythicals (similar to how ORAS does with some of its legendaries).
I hopped off this video after the 5th “dream world”
Nottafan
6:38 this. i know people want "every mon to return!!" but the truth is that it just makes the region feel super unnatural and overshadows newly added pokemon
Remember when a generation of pokemon anime was 4 years?
I agree on all the things and want to add one point, they have to remove this "friendship bonus" bullshit because it kills the whole gameplay, why bother with heal items or attacks if the pokemon just cures itself and survives endlessly also crits every 2nd move.
I love how Elmo is just randomly chilling in the background
YoU aRe LiViNg In A dReAmWoRlD
I agree with everything stated here... Cept one thing.... I don't really need the Nat Dex back if we can have a good chunk of returning and new I'll be happy but as someone who likes Comp if I have to run into Land T or the Tapus or ,Arceus forbid, Garchomp and and the other common OU staples I will tear my hair out.
Well many like me do, but if you're worried about Lando-T running around (which is still a thing now seeing it's in SwSh Expansion Pass), just have a customizable banlist feature, where you can host a tournament with a set of Pokemon (like imagine a cat-only tier hehe).
@@zjzr08 Yeah I know and it infuriates me and honestly that's a lot of work to set up and actually have people join. But that defeats the point of if I want to play the game I've still got a 90%+ chance to run into the busted things without the Nat Dex with roughly 400-500 pokes its eaiser to leave them out or build around that isn't the same 5-6 Pokemon on everybody's teams
@@crossslashgod8450 You'd be surprised how dedicated fans can be in building their dream scenarios (Super Mario Maker exist after all), although customizable banlists would at least make a compromise for collectors and battlers.
They can just officially do ranked battles too with only the Regional Dex if that's the issue. Even then with how popular legendaries are (the infamous "teleporter rings" comes back in recent games) I just think Legendary Pokemon being part of the meta is just likely to stay.
@@crossslashgod8450 Also wouldn't more Pokemon mean more spread out usage, I mean I remember the Gen 4 days where they kinda spam Scizor and some Shaymin.
@@zjzr08 Naw man Gen 8 was actually a really surprising in showing how well matches could differentiate if you put some interesting mons into the mix and I don't despise legend spam because you can usually outplay it with an off meta team comp that nobody expects.
The anime and the games do give a lot of other career choices other than champion that we technically get to try out but isn't the main goal. Coordinator, breeder, athlete, movie star, research assistant, etc. I wish that we could do those as the main story rather than a side mission. They could even incorporate the champion challenge in a new way like being a specialty trainer and being able to battle gym leaders, elite four, and champions of that specialty to be the best trainer of that type in the world (the latter is probably unrealistic).
Some actually have some basis in the games too, with quite a few rivals (notably Bianca and Hop) becoming assistants to their respective professors, as well as Pokestar Studios being amongst the most elaborate side modes in the series.
It'd definitely be nice if they were acknowledged as possible final options as much as just getting the League Championship was.
@@extremmefan7305 I feel like giving us other options for journeys will help the longevity of pokemon. We already went back to Kanto 3 times and nothing has changed substantially. It would be cool if in oras we got to be a coordinator and have lisia be our main rival and Wallace our champion. They could change contests to be more like the anime so you still get experince for them. It could even be harder since you're judged by your moves so there would be a bit of strategy in how you battle. Then they could do something similar in sinnoh. I think something like this could breath new life into remakes without changing much. They could also just do a complete re-imagining of the story to go along with your new job. I also wouldn't mind a more tame game with no evil team and you just work on beating the battle frontier as your main goal. Another idea would be becoming a movie star with your partner pokemon. Working with Sabrina and brycen again. Meeting diantha, Valerie (for costume design), or even rihan (as a publicity thing) and getting to battle them once you impress them with your skills. There's a lot they can do if they change the formula.
The you living in a dream world is so annoying
But I love how the last time it plays it concludes with the full clip.
recently found your channel and been binging your content, keep up the great critique telling
I 100% agree with like every point I just hope that dream becomes a reality. Fantastic video btw
I agree with your points, and your requests do not sound unreasonable. I really want a good pokemon game!
something i would love to see adapted are some of the locations from the pokemon movies. they could be dlc or post game areas but i always though it would be fun to experience the locations of the movies and there's so much potential in that. the pokemon race in the water from the 5th movie. contest in the city ash and co. were at in the darkrai movie. How a about a battle tower fashioned after pokemon's 3rd movie with its own story
etc etc
I would like pokemon to show us our iv and ev's once we have completed the regional pokedex or another task that will need some time to complete.
IMO they should show the EVs particularly at the start, although the IVs could be a post-game thing, seeing they obviously don't want your main story experience to be finding the "perfect battler" hehe.
My idea is that instead of making half baked games they rush because they need to sell more merchandise is that instead of making a game in arround 3 years, they make a game in double the time, but they add double the pokemon they normaly would add, so Ishihara is happy, and if you ask about what about the anime? Simple, you add another region and make a sequel of the season of the anime that got that region
YOU ARE LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD
I want pokemon legends unova (mainly because Unova used to be a kingdom and it’ll be fun seeing the war between the two brothers. (It would be cool if they pulled a fire emblem and had one game support one brother and the other support the other brother) Original Dragon would be cool too.) I want either that or just a good 3D remake of Unova with good graphics that combine BW1 with BW2 more seamlessly (Making you have a choice to play a “combined” experience where you have to play BW1 before BW2 with the added caveat that when you beat BW2, the post game final boss would be your own character and team from BW1 in the ruins of N’s castle. Or you could play a “separated experience” where you don’t get to battle yourself in the postgame, instead that battle is replaced with a battle against N, but you get the choice to play BW2 before BW1 (idk why you want to do that, but you can).
Fr I just want a really good 2D Pokémon game on the switch like heart gold and soul silver
4:38 This must have turned off so many Pokemon fans
The only problem with Kalos being the second region for a Spain region is that Kalos is exclusively Northern France. So either you make Southern France essentially a third region, or you make the entire other half of France barren of gyms. I guess it could have the Battle Frontier?
I would add having the option to choose a harder difficulty option at the start of the game, like in B2W2
I would grind for hours on a 3d pokemon fighter like yomi hustle.
what if instead of Poke Legends: Kyurem or whatever, they just called it Pokemon Black & White 3.
Imagine people being okay with rushed Pokémon games:
MAKE US WAIT PLEASE---
I need more gireum pop ins in videos!!!!
Dude Cyberpunk 2077 was in development for 8 years..and still we got a half baked game.
Zelda doesn't have an anime
Pokemon does
Zelda did have an anime
Don't use the anime as a scapegoat, I'd argue they sacrificed some by extending some arcs, while some had to be rushed.
@@purepure9188 That crap which didn't even lasted for 6 months?
@@zjzr08 See
I understand his points
but Pokemon need to maintain but the anime and games and make sure anime and games are connected
And if Arcs are extended via filler, then people will complain that pokemon has too much filler
I hope you understand what I am saying
@@krishnagupta8503 I'm just saying they can have the anime and games have a plan for 5 years and pace it at that schedule.
