Pokemon can be so much more.

Yeah, even worse. I don't want my Pokemon game to be online dependent. I'm still playing Pokemon Silver to this day, what happens when the server goes down on this shared world? Also, people coming in and out of my world randomly is a lot more immersion-breaking too.

Pokemon has always been a single-player franchise, if you want something different there are plenty of options. There is no need to gut Pokemon for that.

I never said it had to be online dependant. In half of those games, the online interactivity can be turned off. I don't see how seeing real trainers in a living breathing worldlike Pokemon would be immersion breaking.

I never said it wouldn't be a single player game. There is no "gutting" going on. Those are all signle player games. Only Destiny and the Division are always online.

I don't want something different. I want Pokemon, just with everything I described in the OP, which happens to be nothing you seem to think I want.

Well, we both seem to disagree on the fundamental core of what Pokemon is and should be, so I'll leave this now.
