How do we make Pokemon fun again?
Story mode is still piss easy, meta is stale, RNG sucks. It's tiresome after 7 gens. Don't even pretend you stick around for the gameplay, you're only in it for the monsters.
How do we fix it?

More monsters. Gen 8 better give us more than the last two
>>32949286
Hard mode.
>>32949286
Franchise reboot is the only way
Nostalgia driven settings and atmosphere with increased difficulty and modern JRPG polish

>Don't even pretend you stick around for the gameplay, you're only in it for the monsters.
the gameplay IS the monsters

>Hard mode that increases overall dificulty curve, ending the main story 30 levels higher than normalmode
>A world map that feels genuinely expansive, with varrying biomes and unique environments
>Every enviornment should have fitting pokemon, with a veriety of cool, cute, silly, and edgy to fit just about every demographic
>Boss fights with their own music themes
>A story focused around a player primarily, not a cast of anime tropes
>Antagonist group that naturally and simply flows into the plot and world IE: these guys are being cunts to people and blocking my path doing so, i will therefore fuck them up
>removal of Lillie and Lillie-like characters, who drive the plot while being similtaniously useless to in its progression, with minimal overall character development and direct plot impact
>pokemon rebalance, stat weight of 450 is bare minimum for a fully evolved pokemon (outside of gimick-mon like shedinja), including single evos, this increases both overall competitive viability and user friendlieness in single player
>removal of gimicky bullshit like in battle evolution, go back to the roots of the battle mechanics and enphasize polish and perfection over inovation
I can't think of anything more.

>meta is stale
Stopped reading there, maybe don't play a shitty fanmade and unsupported singles meta.
Also I bet you used exp share.
Here's my plan to make a better meta.
>remove any non-breedable pokemon
This should remove genies and tikis, but it comes at the cost of mons like the regis becoming useless.
>while removing legendaries, also remove ubers
Let's face it, a standard non-legendary meta would be plagued with mega salamence and friends.
This is all I can come up with, any suggestions?

I would love such a game.
Give it the Cyber Sleuth treatment!!!!! Give us a game like Colosseum in terms of tone.
