Congratulations! You're in charge of rebooting the franchise for Gen 10! What do you do?

I do absolutely nothing different.
It will sell regardless, why bother with quality?

>>712508828 (OP)
fire all the incompetent fucks working at The Pokemon Company

Luxray finally gets the dark type and has its speed and special attack swapped
Sceptile has its atrack and special attack swapped
Rest don't matter.

base it on the two characters from this animation short

I change Freeze into Frostbite.
Water is now weak to Ice. Freeze Dry is movecut since it's redundant.
Sceptile's Attack and Special Attack stats are swapped.
Luxray is given Dark-typing as its secondary typing.
Ceruledge and Armarouge are given each other's colorschemes for their shinies.
The Tera boost from Stellar type does not drop after one use of a move.
Celebi is changed to Grass/Fairy.

Also the distribution of Ice moves on Water types is drastically reduced.

I take it back to 2D.

>>712508828 (OP)
Divide into basic and special attacks. Each Pokémon gets 4 of each. Basic attacks are things like headbutt or scratch or growl, and you use them to build up meter to use special attacks, which are more like your flame throwers and water gun and such. Also certain moves are stance moves that changes the Pokémon’s stance. Fly or dig is an example, and the pokemon gets new move when in those stance. This is to ensure that strong Pokémon’s don’t just come in and completely rush the other team. Heavy emphasis on team battles in the story with new bond mechanics. You bond Pokémon’s together through team battles and they can inherit some passive traits from their pokemon pals. Some pokemon pals can even learn each other’s moves or entirely new attacks only available through bonding. This is to ensure there is a variety in competitive play because the variables are much higher, meanwhile casual players can just pair their favorite pokemon. You can also bond pokemon through single battles by setting it as their supporter pokemon beforehand.

Eh 6 is fine. Doubles already have a faster pace, no need to drag it out
>6 moves per pokemon
Not sure on this one. I know more options is good but the push and pull of being forced to make a decision on roles I think is a feature, not a bug
>hms are back
Not based. The problem with HMs is how you have to gunk up your move set just to travel the world. I get that you should incorporate Pokemon into your travel. But you can do that with natural HMs inherent to each species. Like Water pokemon can surf. Bug and Grass pokemon can Cut. Ice Pokemon can die
>game has 2d sprites for characters and pokemon, wirh only some 3d environments, also grid movement like before gen 7
I'm hit or miss on this. The problem isn't Pokemon being 3D, the problem is GF is fucking lazy and they have both a shit artstyle and a shit world
>multiple branching paths, but not open world
Based. Zones based around a central idea is my favorite form of adventuring
>long, scenic routes
Based
>difficulty options
Impractical. I've talked about this before but no one can agree on what Hard Mode means. Better movesets? Smarter AI? Gym Leaders that aren't trapped into a single type?
>no evil team
Not based. I love my evil teams
>instead, many smaller story events most of which are optional, and some missable
I don't think the 2 are mutually exclusive. You can have subplots that tie into the main plot

Legends Mew but it's trainer battle focused and about the first Pokemon League ever. Pokedex is Kanto+some Johto+Sinnoh/Paldea crossevos.

Delete pokémon competitions for people over 14.

Put Monolith Soft in charge of making the game. Tell Game Freak to fuck off.
That's about it.

>>712508828 (OP)
Unironically dexit again, except actually deliver on your promise of using the lower dex to produce higher quality models and animations
Return to the core gameplay but introduce improvements to the system and rebalancing, without relying on a gimmick which will be abandoned in a single gen
Remove gamefreak entirely, fire everyone from that studio and give it to genius sonority or chunsoft.
Speaking of which just make a new PMD game that isn't dogshit.

Fire Take. Make it a dating sim set in Alola.

Return to roughly gen 3 era art direction.
Not open world. Remains 3D with a controllable camera, but uses well designed routes and caves with detailed environments. Battles and catching can still happen in the overworld, PLA style.
Retain some open exploration similar to kanto, letting you do some gyms out of order. Have the gyms scale by badge.
HMs return, but pokemon compatible with the HM can use it without learning it. Alternatively, you still have to learn it, but the HMs are actually usable in battle and can be forgotten without a move deleter.
There are no friend characters. Your rival is also the main antagonist. He aims to make the pokemon league go defunct. Either because he's a scorned ex-gym challenger/leader/champion, or because he's seen how gym leaders and champions in most other regions do jack shit when their respective regions are in danger.
Smaller dex, allowing for rideable pokemon, like in LGPE.
Tweak idle animations in battle so that the majority of pokemon don't look like they're just standing around.
Includes side activities such as the game corner (just use a different minigame slots suck ass anyway), secret bases, amie, gimmicky post-game towers, things like that.
Dumps IVs. Literally just get rid of them. They've already defeated the intention of IVs by letting you change them outright so just skip the middle man and get rid of them.
Implement an expert mode, making set mode and doubles the standard, and prevents you from using items during trainer battles.
Keep the exp share, but tweak the exp given or at least the levels of everything. On that note, cool it with the level up learnsets. Unironically too many pokemon have too much access to too much coverage. Keep it to TMs if you must.
Cool it with the free items as well. Just running around in SV will net you more potions and items than you'll ever use.
Send Gamefreak to hell and blacklist Ohmori from the industry

Or something like that

I wish Pokemon had more mechanics like Monster Rancher. Each Pokemon feels interchangeable.

make mystery dungeon the mainline

>More varied animations in and out of combat; specific moves have specific animations(or at least groups of moves, so like Tackle/Body Slam/Takedown/Double Edge/etc. will all use the same base animation but add additional effects, specific pokemon natures will have a couple of special animations for certain moves(eg, Naughty nature when using Trick)
>The out of battle animations each pokemon uses will be drawn from a pool based on the Pokemon's original nature. These pools overlap, but specific combinations are often only possible with one nature
>Now your pokemon are genuinely unique in appearance and behaviour.

>Three additional months of QA so it doesn't release a janky broken mess like S/V did

Battle autists will buy because the small Dex will lead to interesting metagame, just like SS pre-dlc was super cool.

Shiny hunters will now have additional things to grind for.

Casuals will now get way more attached to their specific, unique, very special Pokemon.

Price it at 79.99$, lock specific physical traits certain Pokemon get to one game, and drink in the cash.

If Pokemon Stadium could give random Pokemon hella soul on the dog-shit that was the N64 Cartridge, we can do it today on the Switch 2. My biggest gripe with the games has always been how drab the actual Pokemon are.

>>712510034
>the problem is GF is fucking lazy and they have both a shit artstyle and a shit world

Imo it's also with how most people are used to seeing the pokemon in cool poses in 2d but 3d pokemon uses the lamest most boring idle pose during battle. Dragon Quest, SMT(and persona) solved it it by using the concept art poses even if some of the poses doesn't make sense as an idle.

>>712510034
>Not sure on this one. I know more options is good but the push and pull of being forced to make a decision on roles I think is a feature, not a bug
It'll also reward strong Pokemon with large movepools while doing nothing for Pokemon with limited movepools, so this is already a bad idea.

>>712508828 (OP)
Make it a subscription based MMO, like the ultimate PVP server. Top players on the server compete in a tournament at the end of the year to see who's the best. You can form player griefing guilds like Team Rocket but the drawback is you have to be themed so you're locked to 5 pokemon types which also count dual types. Players can also compete to be the top player in a region and become a gym leader while lower ranking players can join that gym. Gyms are themed and pokemon are locked to 3 types with the theme type having to be present in all pokemon used.

Make cheap slop since poketroons will eat it anyway and spend yhe budget on a passion project a souls clone.

focus on regular pre evolutions and evolutions
go back to having celshaded outlined character models, but with the realistic textures from gen 9

>>712509280
>Luxray is given Dark-typing as its secondary typing.
why do so many retards think that going from one weakness to four including u-turn is a buff

>>712517392
Because Luxray is boring as is and his high Attack stat syngerizes poorly with Electric's movepool of physical moves, which includes
>Aura Wheel
>Bolt Beak
>Bolt Strike
>Double Shock
>Fusion Bolt
>Nuzzle
>Plasma Fists
>Spark
>Supercell Slam
>Thunder Fang
>Thunder Punch
>Volt Tackle
>Wild Charge
>Zing Zap
And of these Luxray can only learn Spark, Thunder Fang, Supercell Slam, and Wild Charge. Two deal 65 base damage and the other two have harsh recoil damage. It learns Bite and Crunch naturally, so give it a secondary Dark typing and change its hidden ability from the useless Guts to Strong Jaw.

>Add mild romance elements where the player can gradually build up a "deeper friendship" with certain NPCs by spending time with them at various points during the game
>Important enemy trainers (the rival, gym leaders, etc.) will actually acknowledge if you lose against them, instead of the game just sending you back to the nearest Pokemon Center and pretending nothing happened. They'll also get different dialogue depending on how many tries it takes you to beat them, such as being more impressed if you win on the first attempt or applauding your perseverance if you lost a bunch before finally taking them down
>The rival will keep a running tally of how many times you've won and lost against them throughout the game, and will act more/less high-and-mighty towards you depending on how many times they've kicked your ass

>There are several major narrative goals the player can choose to pursue. Major choices have an impact on the world.
>Many pokemon are extremely elusive. Pacing through the grass will no longer be sufficient. You need to locate that pokemon's preferred habitat, by deploying various tactics such as baiting, tracking, or trapping.
>Pokeballs are rare in this part of the world. You must capture pokemon by violently subduing or befriending your target manually. Your approach will have a major impacts on your relationship with pokemon you've tamed.
>The process of raising pokemon is more involved. You need to fulfill your mon's needs, you need to enrich and bond with it, training your mon involves performing specific tasks to bolster stats and enhancing abilities rather than brainlessly ordering your pikachu to curbstop pidgeys for 6 hours.

Lets Go but with real battle mechanics.
That is all they had to do.
LG had the best 3D look, and the PoGo catching mechanic is very fun. More fun that simply clicking the A button at least.
Bring back day/night cycles, weather, seasons, and you have an A+ game.

The first thing I'd do is establish a new studio under a competent director with a good vision of where they want the franchise to go to produce games in parallel with the existing team (which I'd start scaling down and eventually turn into supporting team work). They have the money for it, and if they don't have the cash on hand they can easily get the credit.

go maximalist and fulfil the original dream of pokemon

in gen 2 they didn't take anything away from gen 1. They expanded on it, by adding a new region, lots of new pokemon, new moves, new items, new mechanics. They did this while keeping around all of the old pokemon, the old region, the old items. They fundamentally just made MORE of everything.

make every new pokemon game expansionary rather than adding a few things and taking away a bunch more. Make it an ever growing world with more places, more stuff, more pokemon. Go big. Quantity has a quality all of its own.

>>712525805
Ice types are fine if they're offensive, since Ice is so good at attacking. They just suck at defense, and Gamefreak has a tendency of creating slow, defensive Ice types for some godforsaken reason when they suck shit. Compare Avalugg and Weavile in gen 6, Avalugg's debut generation. The slow and defensive Avalugg is PU while the fast, strong Weavile is OU.

Also removing Water types being able to use so many Ice moves is less buffing Ice as it is nerfing Water, which is really strong both defensively and offensively. Water is a great defensive type, only weak to Grass and Electric, the former having a ton of weaknesses and the latter rather uncommon and often neutralized by a secondary typing. And Water types having strong STAB moves and access to Ice for coverage makes them powerhouses.

>>712508828 (OP)
Do a hard reboot of the franchise with an entirely new natdex starting from zero. Old pokemon would still be transferrable but wouldnt be logged in the dex ala gen 7. The game would ideally be an open world with light survival mechanics and would play similarly to zelda botw, the game would have a major focus on exploration and you'd be able to join different factions which lead to a specific ending for the story. You'd be able to make secret bases around the map, recruit companions to follow you around on your journey similar to the anime, etc theres alot I'd want from a hard reboot from pokemon but I couldnt fit everything here.

>>712508828 (OP)
No reboot.

A single game to finish off the main series - national dex, every single region included, including spin-off regions (perhaps a DLC) and the last one being a new artificial region built to rule the world.

At the start of the game you answer a questionnaire akin to Mystery Dungeon which determines your starting region - of course you can still "choose" but it serves as an in-universe touch.

Each region has progressed 10 years (Generation 10) since their initial games. New gym leaders mixed with some that got older, revised structures / routes, new Pokemon distributions etc. Each region is a chapter that builds up the main plot line that culminates in the last region. There are side quests you can detour to unlock HMs / other shit that carries across.

All opponent's Pokemon level up with you, so when you beat one region's Elite Four then the next trainer's Pokemon will all be level 60+ and so on.

Final plot involves Team Rainbow Rocket doing shit with all the legendaries, plus villains who went into hiding - final boss is Giovanni with a team of the most powerful legendaries from each region using each gimmick - Mega Mewtwo Y, Ultra Necrozma, Eternatus-Eternamax, Terapagos. Basically the Masters EX villain arc but on a much bigger scale.

You save the Pokemon world once and for all with an Arceus super-form, the single most powerful pokemon in the entire dex, higher BST than Eternamax.

After you beat the whole game, you unlock the Pokemon World Championships - the PWT from BW2 on steroids, all opponents have competitive Smogon sets etc. You're free to explore the world, infinite post-game battles, side quests etc.

And the game's name?

Pokemon. That's it. Or if you really need a name - Pokemon Generation X.

>The game would ideally be an open world with light survival mechanics
Stopped reading there. Imagine having opinions this focus tested.

>National Dex returns
>Battle Frontier and contests return, contests are now an alternative win condition for the games (you still have to do the mandatory story beats but you can choose between gym battles or contests)
>speaking of mandatory story beats they're way less in your face. constrained to more of a grounded personal plot
>a well designed region with non-theme park like geography, either open world with actual things to explore or a recursive layout like Hoenn
>double battles are the standard format for big battles
>field moves are a thing again, each Pokemon can have two field moves at a time (which aren't tied to the actual battle moves)
>surfing, flying and riding Pokemon are all done by your actual party with visible model/animation changes instead of some shitty gadget or random tech legendary
>art direction based off Gen 2/3 Sugimori art
>online system from Gen 6 with open exploration with one other player (forces all battles to be doubles)
>no shiny lock
>old school events with their own unique locations
If I really had the freedom I'd probably redesign all the shit post-gen 6 mons that look ugly in a really blobbish simplified way and clash with older designs (looking at the dragon steel bridge thing and basically every starter since Alola that isn't Rowlett and the fire skull lizard) that being said that sort of thing is Pandora's Box imo, I would feel bad about taking away designs that people have grown attached to even if they personally suck in my opinion
Also I'd introduce either full blown open world remakes of the 'definitive' games every generation starting with FR/LG or the stereotypical all region MMO idea that everyone has. new mainline entries can be a testing ground of sorts that gets refined into these other games
Lastly bring back PMD, Ranger and random assorted non-mobile spinoff titles

Also:

Each region's new champion is the player character of that region depending on your character's gender selection - some remain fixed but others change (Red is always Kanto champion, Ethan is Johto champion if you're female, May in Hoenn if you're male, Serena in Kalos if you're male or Calem if you're female etc - nod to the opposite-gender rival trope)

Make one final Pokemon game that gets continuous updates with new gens costing $60 as DLC

>he cant even come up with an argument.
people like you are the reason why pokemon will be forever dogshit

>>712508828 (OP)
I can't think of a franchise that has grown as little as pokemon, every pokemon game is the fucking same so what would be the point of a reboot?

I release Heart Gold and Soul Silver exactly as they are but with the Pokemon Let's Go Eevee art style and add in a difficulty slider / options

>>712529861
What about any Fifa?
I guess you could argue they grew by inserting those football card microtransactions that give them ridiculous income

>>712529324
>fire skull lizard

Based. I emulated Violet recently and did not expect to see a starter that I actually love the design of. Little guy reminds me of Leviamon.

>>712530065
yeah it's really the only starter I've liked in like 3 generations.
Shame it's stuck in a dogshit game, although really that's how I feel about everything from X/Y onwards

>>712508828 (OP)
Pokemon HOME for PC.

I honestly think such a simple bit of software would bring a 20% increase in player engagement.

>>712508828 (OP)
I'd give it real-time Pokemon battles, like an autobattler where you give your monsters commands and stuff.
I'll reserve the turn-based shit for mobile game spinoffs made to be played on the toilet.

>>712508828 (OP)
Singleplayer pokken.
No more gay easy turn based shit.
All female characters now either are flat/budding or titcows, no boring small/medium tits.
Adult spinoff with rape, pokemon and human.

>>712529991
I don't really consider the yearly rerelease of a sportball game a franchise but if you do, sure I guess

>>712528929
>You save the Pokemon world once and for all with an Arceus super-form
All the champions in Arc Suits backing you up would be dope

>put in waifus with big ass tiddies

back to 2d
the only time this game has ever impressed me was back in gen5 with the big cool bridge

the 1000th pokemon was literally just the cheese string mascot
gen 10 will be an anti-climatic disappointment

The world consists only of sexy female trainers and any time anyone loses a pokemon battle they have to get fucked by pokemon and a unique animation plays

>>712530242
X and Y is the last Pokemon I actually finished. I played Sun and Moon for a bit, but the nonstop unskippable cutscenes drove me mad and I quit playing new Pokemon games since until I started playing Violet again a few days ago.

It's good to see that there is a "Skip all cutscenes" option now. I can't wait for them to figure out the solution to the cutscene problem in a few games and give us a button that skips the current cutscene.

This is the attitude that gets you a CEO position where you're paid the salary of two dozen people at minimum, honestly.

>>712508828 (OP)
you can fuck all the bird pokemon's fat cloacas in high def stunning details

>>712530638
Go back to playing five nights at frieddies or whatever, Markiplier.

I deliberately tank Gen 10 in order to further my plan to pull the strings of a massive legal battle on both sides that results in Game Freak walking away with the rights to Pokemon. Then, I sit back and watch the fireworks as Gen 11 releases on Playstation and /v/ implodes upon witnessing what is the second coming of Monster Hunter World.

I make Gengar 2

Pokemon Colosseum 2
