Topic: Next Pokémon Game Hopes and Wishes

I think they consider the DLC storylines to be that, whatever storyline they have is probably going to be saved for DLC in 2027.

I suspect it's mainly going to be turn based but might have some smaller sections of the game that are real time, like when following or in Raid battles. Because there's two different teams working on the games, it's unrealistic to expect much if anything from Z-A, Gen 10 was likely developed simultaneously alongside Z-A so they didn't have enough time to incorporate feedback on real time battling from Z-A. Some things from Arceus, maybe. I think the biggest hope is that throwing Poke Balls outside of battle finally carries over from Arceus.

And really I'd like throwing items in general to make a return, that was a major step backwards when Z-A wouldn't let you throw anything but Poke Balls. It removes so much of the strategy if all you can throw is Poke Balls, then back strikes devolve into "hide and wait for the RNG to tell the Pokemon to turn its back to you" instead of clever use of items to distract the Pokemon or conceal your movements or anything. We need this level of strategy back.
