Just as a quick multi poll of sorts, what are people wanting/expecting??
I mean like
Title
Art Style
Battle system
Catching system
Adventure style
Region base
Story
Release date
Number of new Pokemon
Personally:
I want
Title: Pokemon (that's it)
Art Style - either a return to pixel art as in Gen V, or more polished celshading as in Ni No Kuni or Dragon Quest XI
Battle system- The traditional stuff, get rid of z-moves though. Maybe expand movesets to 5. Return of all standard features like abilities, double/triple battles.
Catching system- straight up traditional catching mechanics, no motion controls
Adventure style - a guided open world, where there is a story compelling you to go somewhere, but the gyms can be done in any order and scale accordingly.
Region base - Australia.
Release date - September.
Number of new Pokemon - 120.
I expect:
Title: Pokemon Amethyst/Pokemon Topaz
Art Style - slightly better than Let's Go.
Battle system- some new gimmick added that just congests battles with more long animations
Catching system - Motion controls shoehorned in, 'the reception to let's go was very positive' hahaha
Adventure style - so linear it may as well be a visual novel
Region base - UK
Story- Go fight gyms, beat bad team in spare time
Release date- November
Number of new Pokemon - 60, as well as 15 new forms for Kanto Pokemon
