The games can improve on a lot! But what you want is not Pokemon. It's a completely different game.

How is the game I described not Pokemon?

Pokemon is a turn based RPG. That's what it is and that's probably what it'll always be. You want an open world hack and slash game with a Pokemon skin.

Pokemon is a lot more than simply a turn based rpg. The battle system was made because of the limitiation of the systems it was originally on but just because GameFreak hasn't changed the formula doesn't mean that they can't or its not pokemon any longer. Seriously, there are pokemon spinoffs for every generation, spin offs that have their own gameplay system.

Its completely short sighted to think of any game as its battle system.

Specifically, the trainer (the virtual avatar of the player) gives commands to the pokemon they train. Whether it is real time or turn based or any hybrid of that doesn't mean it will change that fundamental concept.
