WiiU definitely deserves an MMO. I'd actually like to see more depth and textures and such, slight more realism (Got this idea from the Super Smash Bros Brawl trailer where you see how Mario's clothes kinda look like real clothes) which really could apply to any of Nintendo's franchises, really, kinda up the anty a little. The battling could kinda use it, too honestly, as opposed to all the flashy fake animation effects like stars, scratching the air, pop damage bubble, etc; What's wrong with a little contact battling, anyway? TV series has no problem showing it where the appropriate attack is performed. Few of the games have gone from E to t rating, why stop there?

Considering I put 100s of hours into some Pokemon games, I think the amount of content is fine.

-DLC is overrated. I don't think it's necessary for a great game. If a game already has enough content for 70+ hours, it doesn't need more.
-Why change the formula? I would welcome more emphasis on double and triple battles rather than single battles. A few minor changes might be necessary but the majority of the formula is fine as it is: it's simple and straightforward. Keep in mind Pokemon is aimed at little kids too, so it does not need to be overly complicated.
-Yes, I welcome the idea of a bigger frontier. Emerald had some good events and some pointless ones (Palace). Platinum also had some good frontier battles.
-Online is pretty straightforward, though I agree the servers need to be upgraded
-This one is a big questionable one. Joining a friend may be good, but the game would have to change accordingly to suit the extra players. This may be too complicated to implement effectively.
-Unova was pretty big. Why do we need a bigger region?
-Pardon? There was plenty to do after defeating the Elite Four. Though the Battle Frontier was excluded from BW, it may be included in the inevitable third game. This is nothing new, they hold back content in order to push for a third game.
-No, just no. This is pointless. The attacking/defending formula is fine as it is. As said before, Pokemon does not need to be overly complicated and this idea just goes against simplicity.

I think the games are fine as they are. Even if you think the formula is becoming stale, the series is still selling millions. Why fix what's not broken?

I think we don't need a new generation. It would be a dream come true if they include all the generations in one game, you know... you start in X region and you got to travel across the world beating all the gyms and the elites four. With a good planning this could fit in a good way.

Oh I've been saying this 1 too all along about all generations in 1. Anything new they add to it, DLC-wise, could work as it does in MMOs. Maybe allow for new regions as an expansion containing new pokémon, quests, etc. And yeah, you could chose which region to start from. and then most likely for the Pokémon League they could maybe have a schedule as to when they come around or you can participate. That way they can maybe fit more time in for quests, or quests and events that take place at specific times or dates, pretty much as MMOs already are.

Or they could make more money by releasing remakes for each region

What I want from the next Pokémon game:

  • The usual stuff - new Pokémon, new moves, and a new region to explore
  • Completely 3D - sprites have never been that pretty (besides GSC days) and with all the wacky zooming they're doing, poylgons sounds much nicer and they proved it with Pokédex 3D
  • Ditch turn-based battle system for something completely real-time and fluid where instead of moves having PP they have a certain recharge time
  • Voice recognition and use of the touch screen to implement moves
  • Instead of being able to use items wantonly, each Pokémon would have a time-out or two that you could call to then use as much items as you want before continuing
  • Up to eight/maybe ten Pokémon able to be held but only six be able to participate in a given fight
  • Removal of HMs completely to be replaced with items
  • Complete avatar customization - if you don't want to play as a 10-year-old girl, you don't have to
  • A story that allows you choices - do you want to take out the evil organization or join it and make your way to the top?
  • Enough of a build-up in a region that achieving level cap is no longer annoying - maybe add more gyms and make sure the Elite Four starts out at Level 70-80?

There was more but I forgot what it was since the last time I thought about this. D:

It's perfect, we just need 3d characters like on pokedex 3d, at least for battle and more then a region in one game. Other things might be nice to but I'll settle on that.

I think you should be able to sell Pokémon for profit. Like, if I don't want this useless Bidoof, how about instead of releasing them, you could at least sell them and get money for it. Perhaps rarer Pokémon are expensive, while more common ones are not. Of course that could cause controversy, so maybe you could just sell them to a pet shop or zoo or something like that, and they will pay you for giving them the Pokémon.
Or something.

Take a beyond Good or Evil approach, take pictures of Pokemon and send in the pictures to whoever wants them.

I don't like how these "How this could be improved" threads just say, more of everything, and better. That's usually a lazy response, that doesn't take much effort to think of. Ways to improve Mario Kart 8, more characters, more courses.

@PhoenixCake How do you want voice recognition and touch screen based moves if you want the game real time?
Also the that item system already seems broken. I don't get the HMs and items thing. It won't really matter much. We need an Avatar Customization seeing as how online is big for Pokemon. Whats gonna happen after you are at the top of the organization? Manage it? No your going to the next Pokemon Gym if you want your badge.

@DarkSquid, now were talking. Train them for specific purposes for more dough or sell them based on specifications. Construction workers want Pokemon heavy Pokemon with high Attack and HP.

That's just glorified trading with random NPCs, how would that be fun?

What do you mean? You say move, it does move. Or, you press button, it does move. Don't see a problem.

It's a concept, obviously I wouldn't toss something in without tweaking it first. However not having any HMs means you don't have to waste a spot on a Pokemon or two that has all those ridiculous HM moves you're never gonna use in battle.

Oh I see now, your talking Final Fantasy 4 real time right?

When you mean items to you mean TMs, or an item that cuts the tree for you. You need to be more specific. Your talking kinda cryptic here.

It's not my fault you can't think of an idea that isn't cliche.

How is "an item that replaces an HM" cryptic? I'm obviously talking about an item that's used to do the exact same thing an HM does so that you don't have to waste a move on a Pokemon.

Because you've added so much to this discussion.
