So they decided to 'shake up' the rules/formula of Pokemon and defy expectations by adding routes, towns, a home village with a Pokemon Professor, a Rival, an evil Team, eight Gyms with badges, an Elite Four with a Champion, legendaries, event-only Pokemon, HMs, and at least one each of a Forest, Cave, Ocean and Haunted Tower?
If that passes for a shakeup, will we ever get a Pokemon where what happens next is a surprise? For example, around the time of the 7th Gym I KNOW the Evil Team is going to execute their plan and I'll have to fight through their HQ with some Poision-type-using grunts then the Admins then their leader who will claim he's not evil but plans to change the world through use of a legendary Pokemon. Then I KNOW my Rival will show up in Victory Road for the last time and afterwards realise (s)he was mistaken to take that attitude.
