What if they essentially "reboot" the franchise with this game, and reimagine Red/Blue as a new open world RPG with MMO features? This could make a lot of sense for them to ease into such a huge jump for the series, since they could just use the original 151 and not have to spend all that time on new designs and adding all those other 700 pokemon into the game. I mean it's going to be very time consuming modeling 800+ pokemon to current gen graphics when they're making the jump from 3DS models. After Go's success the OG 151 are about as iconic as it gets now, and the nostalgia of a Breath of the Wild-esque realization of Kanto could work to the game's favor in a gigantic way.
