So, me and a friend were discussing what if we were given a chance to pitch in our ideas for future Pokemon games to GF. And as the thread title also suggests, what if we would reinvent the wheel and make changes for the core, main Pokemon games, or at least make a side game with these mechanics.

most of them would have something to do with changing the battle system, and let's just imagine the 3DS is the platform

>it would feature a new type of battle system, one that is played out like Pokken, or since Pokemon is originally an RPG, it would make more sense to make it play out like Dissidia did with Final Fantasy.

>basically, you have four buttons (X, Y, A, B) in which you assign the four attacks in which you give a certain pokemon.

>L for accessing other parts of the menu and R should work like dodge or jump, but coupled with an attack button it would work like an auto-lock targetting

>D-Pads would be item hotkeys

>touchscreen could show all info (like stats), if not also access mega evolution and/or Z-Moves

>Gyms would have specialized stages

>Z-Moves would be triggered like super moves, and would actually make more sense and relevant in this kind of gameplay.

>it'll need a string of commands to be executed on screen to be successful, so you need to time it properly for the reward of high damage (ala Dissidia)

>would actually involve the player's skill and not just rely on luck or rng.

>would actually make the anime to have more sense and inline with the games

>stats will still be there and can influence an outcome of a battle, but it will include the actual skill of the player to factor into it

>to make the game more balanced each attack has a cooldown when you sue them, so you need proper timings and distance yourself otherwise you're fully vulnerable for a counterattack

Imagine your Bulbasaur vs Brock's Onix
imagine the hype of the competitive scene
