Pokemon can be so much more.

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

What is the fundamental core of Pokemon to you?

A contained story with the playable character at the center of it, with turn-based strategy combat. If I wanted a truly open world, I would go play Skyrim. A real time, open world Pokemon would have so much potential to fail it wouldn't even be funny. Who do you think is going to program 800+ Pokemon animations, especially when each can have 60+ moves? It's too much for any development team, and bound to fail.
