If You Owned the Pokémon IP...

What would have planned for the rest of Gen 7?

 

After Sun and Moon, I would reinstate the three-game installments with a later release of "Pokémon Star". Star would include a new Legendary based on stars and would reinstate "follow Pokémon".

 

Then, we would see digital releases of Silver/Gold for Gen 2, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and FireRed/LeafGreen for Gen 3, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and SoulSilver/HeartGold for Gen 4, and Black/Black2/White/White2 for Gen 5. All of these games would be supported by Poké Transfer, and it would allow every access to any and all Pokémon games through their 3DS.

 

Next, we would see proper re-releases of RBGY. The games would feature modern graphics, as well as full Gen 7 support and follow Pokémon. Pokémon Trainers Red, Blue, Green (Leaf), and Yellow would all be playable characters, but would be dependent on which game you owned (Pokémon Blue owners would play as Blue, Red owners as Red, etc). The game chosen would also choose the starter Pokémon, with Red would have Charmander, Yellow would have Pikachu, etc. We would see some Pokémon being referred to as "Kanto Form", such as Vulpix and Ninetails' Fire-Typing forms.The games would be a fairly large departure from traditional Pokémon, but then again, so are Sun and Moon (and Star).

 

Then it would be Diamond and Pearl's turns for a makeover, and their makeover would be more traditional than the RBGY 3DS makeovers. "AeonDiamond" and "SpatialPearl" would feature follow Pokémon (are you seeing a pattern?), and full Gen 7 support. I feel changing anymore than that would compromise the whole "traditional makeover" aspect. 

 

And finally, Pokémon GO. No, I'm not suggesting you bring your GO Pokémon to the main games... I'm suggesting the opposite. Your GO account would link into your NNID, and use of the new "GO Transfer" App, you can copy Pokémon from the Bank over to GO. It's the necessary link to a social phenomenon that would encourage people to buy the full games. 

 

What would you guys do?
