- Smoother transitions into battle (sort of like Fire Emblem if)
- Better Story (ugh, long overdue)
- Difficulty level changer (to balance the broken EXP share)
- Not too many new Pokemon but mix up the region's Pokemon (like XY)
- Better graphics and faster loading times (if on next handheld)
- Co-op play? (would be interesting, not necessary)
- More saves (not necessary either, but would be nice)


There is absolutely nothing wrong with the EXP share. The issue is that the levels don't scale to take that into consideration. With a hard mode, they need to make it so that you can never be at a higher level than the gym leaders or something. The inherant flaw in every RPG with reguards to difficulty is that you can over level yourself. So they can either make it artificially hard by making enemies at a much higher level than you, which means you have to grind, which is boring and repetitive, or all the enemies are too underleveled, and the game is a cake.

SMT levels your party exactly like EXP share does. No one says they're too easy. The problem isn't the EXP share. It's level scaling and it's AI intelligence and move sets.

If Pokemon wants to be difficult, they need to keep the EXP Share. It's not OP, it's convenient. They need to make sure NPC trainers have much better AI, and they need to make sure that Pokemon from trainers have much better movesets. The difficulty option in B2W2 was an absolute joke. The Battle Frontier is real difficulty in Pokemon. Why? Because the Pokemon had better stats, better moves, and the AI had better brains. None were at a higher level than the player. That should be no different during the single player on a harder difficulty.

I also don't agree about multiple saves in Pokemon. To me, it destroys all immersion that the Pokemon you train matter if you can have multiple saves of the same game. If you want to willingly break that immersion for yourself, you should have to jump through hoops and pay extra to do it aka buy an extra game. Multiple saves stand in stark contrast to the core fundementals of Pokemon.
