How would you make the Pokemon franchise great again?

Not localise the games anymore.

>>32034930

Difficulty toggle at the start of the game.

Make an anime with the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series. Three eps weren't enough.

Make it more sandbox. None of this "go down this path and then this path". Restricting areas via HM moves was a good idea.

Also an optional hard mode is long overdue.

Pokemon was never great.

>>32034930
Honestly? Get Pokemon GO right.

As it was, they released a half-assed piece of shit, that still managed to put Pokemon back in the public consciousness for months, and resulted in greatly increased sales of the next main series game. If they'd actually been competent, it could have had a more lasting effect that would have put Pokemon back at the level of popularity and influence that it had in the late '90s. If that's what you mean by "great," that's how to do it.

>>32034960
this is bait right?

>>32034930
Try to emulate the old art style that was inspired by Toriyama.

>>32034977
I really don't think they could've, honestly. People now move on far more quickly from trends nowadays than before, especially considering the people who play it don't give a damn about Pokemon anymore/never gave a damn about pokemon, so once the novelty of the app wears off, they'll just quit it. It's just like all the soccer moms that got themselves Wiis and left them to rot after playing Wiifit for a bit.

>>32034960
This post is definitely bait but I really wouldn't mind SMT Pokemon crossover

A game design like GSC, difficulty, puzzles, a good region with a lot of exploration, a good content of things to do after and pre league, more interesting characters like BW, and a good plot that doesn't seem shoved down your throat. All of this with a good OST and some good pokémon, better if more than an hundred., and with a good select pool with a balance between new and old pokémon, like the bw2 one and unlike the alola one.
So basically HGSS with BW2 content and characters.
Ggimmicks doesn't fucking need to be in every game, I wouldn't put in any if it was for me.

This is rather dumb, since it makes Hard mode objectively worse for postgame grinding and doesn't really add much to difficulty in the first place.

If you have to nerf experience gain, just lock off the Exp. Share until postgame or something.

>Get rid of .pk7
You're an idiot, anon. .pk7 is a fan-made filetype, simply containing the data of a single pokemon as represented in the save file.
As long as you have a save file, you will be able to modify it with 3rd party tools. Only way to stop cheating once and for all is playing the game on a central server, in which case you'll always need internet to even play the game, and I'm sure they're not stupid enough to do that. Other than that, they can try to put countermeasures, such as additional security on the console (to prevent obtaining/modifying the save file in the first place), or additional sanity checks to check for modification of the save file (which they tried in sun/moon, but with the debugging symbols being left in the game, it turned out to be pretty easy to read the code to figure out how it checked it, and modify the save file accordingly).
Really, the only thing that can stop cheating is a disapproving community. Much like steroids in real life, it should be discouraged and the rules should be enforced. But since this is a video game, people don't care enough.

Get rid of the leveling system.
>No more level curves
>No more grinding
>No more overleveled play-throughs
>No more EXP Share

You can still raise your stats through other methods like Pokethalon, Super Training, and Gym Training.

Gym Training: You partake in training at any of the Pokemon Gyms. The harder the gym, the more stat points you can earn.

No levels means more world to explore. You aren't restricted or limited to any level cap. A Poliwag can stand toe-to-toe with a Squirtle. A Pikachu is probably going to lose to a Magnezone. This make the gameplay more focused are Type-Matchups and Pokemon Movesets/Abilities. Even though your Pidgeotto is a first stage evolution, if your opponent sends out a Roggenrola, you might want to switch out (unless you actually trained its stats).

Side Quests. Make NPCs actually important. They give you incentives to fill out your PokeDex. Rewards are given to completed quests. They could be anything really:
>Fish a large Magikarp for $500
>Put a Zubat to sleep and catch it for 3 Dusk Balls
>Catch at least 100 Pokemon. Here's a Bike!
Just stop giving us free shit.

Bigger World. Now that we don't have levels, we can have as many regions as we want. Stronger Pokemon are going to be more difficult to obtain. Bigger World means more Pokemon to catch, less Pokemon to trade. Obviously there are going to be version exclusives, but make 80% of Pokemon catchable on one game, 10% through Legenday Events (in game), and 10% version exclusive.

Different ways to catch Pokemon:
Surfing, Diving, Fishing, Grass, Tall Grass, Caves, Mountains, Night time exclusives, Safari, Quests, Honey Trees, Headbutt Trees, Rock Smashing, Fossil Hunting. Swarm Routes. More variety.

Make money harder to get. I'm tired of always having millions of dollars with nothing to spend it on. Clothes are good money burners, but introduce more things to buy, or actually make money more tedious to get.

There's more but this is a good start

This would require the players to stop being whinny bitches, but try to train 12-15 pokemon at a time, trust me, have a rooster of 12+ pokemon at every moment and switch them either when they're 1-2 levels higher than the rest of your team or you need a specific pokemon to defeat a leader, then move them out of your main team when you get a new pokemon you want to use instead of them, this way you'll have a very wide team, 1-2 levels above the the wild pokemon's (thanks to exp share) and actually have fun playing with pokemon you never considered worth of your main team without the fear of losing them nuzlocke gives.

ill juts call dem le gen wunnar xD I am so fanny and original xDDD

I dunno. This is what I would like to see:

1. Immediate removal of the casualization. They have made the games easy in one way but complicated in another - the battling, breeding, mechanics etc are way more complicated now but the actual game play is easy. Bring it back to the way it was in the beginning - a more open ended sandbox type game where exploration is rewarded. We don't need a super anime type plot where you are the sure rspecial universe-saving chosen one whose main purpose is to catch the legendary and kill the big bad evil dude. I hate it. Stop this. Man in GSC Lugia and Ho Oh were rewards for exploring. That's what I want. This also includes removing the constant handouts - I played Moon, and it felt like every time I got to a new area I was gifted tons of cash or rare items. Like why? Also, the goddamn cutscenes have to go. this was just go to area, unstoppable video, repeat until the end of the game. It really needs to stop.

2. No HMs but doing it smarter than before. Either you use an item system in place of HMs, or you simply allow Pokemon originally capable of using the HMs to use them after beating the relevant gym leader. So, for example, after defeating Koga, anything capable of swimming with Surf can swim on water.

3. Eliminate megas, z-moves, any stupid gimmicky shit. Pokemon are not digimon.

* DexNav, Refresh, and Super Training are now permanent features.
* We are in dire need of a "catch up" generation, like Gens II and IV, to fully-flesh out evolutionary lines like Qwifish, Carnivine, Durant, Komala, etc. with either new evolutions or Megas.
* Likewise, focus on adding to and improving on existing features, like Mega Evolutions, regional variants, and Z-Powers before abandoning them for the next big thing.
* New batches of original Pokemon lines should be based on what happened in Gen VI: A limited number of newly introduced monsters, but with strong designs, inspiration from unused animals or concepts, fully-flesh out evolutionary lines, and use of unused type combinations where possible.
* Bring back Triple- and Rotation-Battle formats.
* Improve the fucking frame rate, at least to the levels of Pokemon X and Y. If this means getting rid of trainer models on the battlefield and superfluous special effects, so be it.
* Gym leaders and Elite Four members shouldn't be tied to a specific type anymore, but rather a specific theme.
* The introduction to the game shouldn't last longer than ten minutes.
* The ability to skip all duologue and tutorials at any time.
* More complex dungeons than what we've gotten in Gens VI and VII, with more puzzle elements.
* The number of Pokemon trainers have return to their approximate X / Y levels.
* Remove time-based wild Pokemon appearances. Again, X / Y did this right by having each route instead contain a large amount of unique Pokemon.
* Combine Pokemon Hordes and S.O.S.: The initial Pokemon can call up to four additional allies, one per turn, but only up to four.

Improve how GF maintains their game after launch.

XY and ORAS uses the same fucking engine, even gen 7 and 6 uses similar shit in many parts.
Instead of over-glorified new games that are just slightly improved from the previous ones, just improve the fucking game. Third version is just a lame excuse to release a DLC with price-tag of a full game.
Doing shit like this will make sure players don't stop playing after a month.
When new console/handheld device is out, THEN release the new game.

Might as well just go back to 2D Pokemon

>>32049223
Because its potential innovations are drying up. This is why we're getting flashy but ultimately trivial things like Z-Moves. The series feels like it's stagnating, imo, because of this.

I think a Pokken Tournament-like battle system would be more dynamic and exciting, plus I think you could preserve a lot of elements from the existing system with some tweaks.

Assuming there is no 3ds successor put the first gen 8 games on the Switch. Don't get too ambitious with graphics and instead focus on speed and being lag free.

Rock smash animations, move animations, the time it takes between an encounter being triggered and menu being active should take two seconds at most.

Make more than 130 new Pokemon per generation again. Making fast ice types, psuedos that aren't dragons and while also making less forms and legendaries.

Keep something like hyper trading but give the player level 95 opponents in the postgame in some form.

Not necessary or cost effective but maybe right before the 3ds dies give an app that allows for backwards transfer and access to older events.

More games that play like main series games. Think Orre but having different gimmicks than Orre's shadow Pokemon snagging and double battle only thing.

Make spin-offs that don't feel too shallow stuff like Pokken and mystery dungeon.

Find some way to wrap up Ash's story. Having him become champion of Alola and then loss to Kukui train for a year then become Kanto champion is one way to do it.

Retell Ash's story with better pacing and less potholes in a series with 25 episode seasons.

Have Ash's replacement get all 8 badges in less than a year and a half. Do something else with the remaining time like having him travel to an older region making the tournament longer.

After an Ash retelling regions have a gap year in the gap year tell an original story in the Pokemon world.

The turn-based battle system is fundamental to the character of the main series. There's plenty you can do to change the battle system without changing this basic nature. Larger deviations like real-time RPG systems or fighting game mechanics should be saved for spinoff games.

Not going to happen

>>32049267
I don't really agree with that assessment because Atlus exists.

Pokemon is stale as all hell because everyone has accepted that it's for children so we can go nowhere else from that trajectory now. We will never go away from these games being unengaging ultra casualized games aimed at basically the mobile gamer at this point.

Even just working on the aesthetics and presentation would give the series a huge jolt, but nope. I can literally see exactly how uninspired the next game will be.

>aesthetics and presentation

I'm curious, what specifically would you like to see in this regard? Whatever else you think about it, didn't SM do quite a lot in this area?

>>32049484
Not him, but yes, if nothing else, the menu layouts and overall presentation during battles was one of the things Sun and Moon excelled at.

>>32049301
Well no shit but should. The fast ice types thing might happen though.

>>32051275
Fast ice types is the only thing with chance to happen
