The core gameplay doesn't need to change. There isn't a single thing wrong with turn-based battles.
You're approaching this from entirely the wrong angle. The game you want is not in any way shape or form a Pokemon game. You don't want to play Pokemon. Fine, don't play Pokemon. But don't pretend you want a Pokemon game while describing something that is not a Pokemon game, and still worse, don't pretend Game Freak is lazy or incompetent for not making Pokemon into something it's not.
Your train of thought is horrendous. "Pokemon should be on home consoles" > "Skyrim is a home console RPG" > "Pokemon should play like Skyrim"
Could you imagine if I said Mario should have online multiplayer, therefore it should play like Call of Duty? That's the sort of logic I read in this thread.
