50 Things We NEED in Pokémon

[@joshuad1925]

Having Pokémon evolve during battle would actually be kinda cool as an option to turn on or off. The idea of almost losing a battle but pulling a reversal when your starter learns their signature final evolution move

[@reethelemon]

I always liked the idea of pokemon evolving during battles ever since I started watching the anime. It would be neat if we could pull an Ash Ketchum clutch on a random trainer npc.

[@t-archer0820]

@@reethelemon I agree 100%

[@Kawaiitwo]

Digimon in a nutshell.

[@jamiemccreath3959]

Pokemon Adventures (especially Sapphire's battle against Brawly) seems to suggest Pokemon get a power boost specifically when they evolve, so this feature could both provide more casual players exciting unexpected moments and give more experienced players a new factor to consider when leveling up their Pokemon

[@AznYunHou]

lol what if they do it like a Mega Evolution. Once you reach a certain level. There is a slot on the moveset where you can evolve and then it goes through the evolution screen, and like how learning moves in the middle of a double battle, if you deleted a move before it attacked, it uses that attack instead

[@ChaoticNeutralCat]

I think pokémon would do well with at least having "grunts" as the "voice acting", like they do in Zelda. Cuz, since they're making more active and "cinematic" cutscenes it just feels very awkward to not hear a peep coming from the characters. Especially when it's in scenes like the opening of Sw&Sh, or when Piers is "singing" (which is odd considering that in B2W2 they DO have someone as the voice of Roxie in her gym battle)

[@mizusenshisongs]

They kinda did that in Legends Arceus. Your character grunts when attacked by a Pokémon or taking fall damage. But it's still kinda limited. A lot of RPG series are incorporating voice acting now so not sure why Pokémon hasn't. Especially since they had an announcer in the Stadium games and Battle Revolution during battles. Even if they only had it in cutscenes and had the rest of the dialogue just be text (which they do in some games), that would be fine.

[@velvetbutterfly]

@@mizusenshisongs part of it is cheapness, wanting to rush games out on a schedule, and the fact that they want every copy to be globally the same. So you would need like 12 VAs for every character, one in each language setting. And with how different countries have different laws, and just how much storage space that is, that'd be a pain. There's a reason not a ton of games have even dual audio. Though they could do like Overwatch, you download the voice language you want as free DLC, that'd fix the storage concern

[@MarisaClardy]

Heck, even do it like Pokemon Snap, where they say a short word or phrase that is related to the actual text in the text box.

[@joshyotoast]

yeah worst one was piers singing closely followed by all of legends arceus dead silent cutscenes

[@pikasheep]

New Pokémon Snap did the voice acting well. When there's cutscenes there's full voice acting but when it's just normal gameplay, they make some grunts and noises. They should do the exact same thing in the main series games

[@r3x427]

I like the idea of a hard mode, but if they did it I would hope they don’t increase the levels because more grinding isn’t really harder it’s just more time consuming, I think if hard mode existed, it should be better move sets and ai but not higher levels

[@TheMuhahaa]

yeah and also more pokemons on trainers. Like all gym leaders would have a whole team of six

And my favourite example is actually from the Lucario movie. The staff that Aaron traps Lucario in. We sorta saw this with ancient poke balls in PLA but I would LOVE to see many different ways of catching Pokémon in the wild. Maybe the pool stick helps with catching far away pokemon, the nunchucks make your switching out faster, the fishing rod is good for trick shot catches etc. I think it would add so much to the game.

1:33 Careful what you wish for Alex, we wouldn't want awful remakes with barely any improvements over the classics now, would we?

[@ObscureSwan]

Things I want that I think would be cool, but I won't hold my breath. 0. Restructured gym system - Instead of beat 8 gyms in order, then Elite 4, then Champion, have the open world idea be explored. Have like 100 different challenges, ranging from beat the gym leader to compete in a catching competition. Winning that challenge earns you a star, and after beating 10-15 in a sub-region, you enter a tournament for that sub-region. Win the tournament to earn an Elite Star and a chance to face an Elite 4 member as an optional boss fight. Earn 4 Elite Stars to participate in the Elite tournament, where at the end you face off against the Champion. 1.Redo all shinies- Yep, you heard me. Go through all shiny pokemon, and make the shiny colorations by hand like in Gen 6+. Get rid of the shinies that are just a shade darker or lighter, get rid of the ones that just get uglier or turn into the dreaded Light Green/Pink colors. 2. Pokemon variations - Have it so if you had your pokemon in with a dozen other of the same pokemon, you could tell which is yours merely by sight and sound. Size differences like how Arceus did it is a good first step, but go beyond that. Swablu that has even poofier wings, Right-hand face Barbaracle, Sandygast that come with like 8 different colored shovels. Add more gender differences, that can range from "Oh, males have much larger horns" to "That little white patch right here, it tends to be smaller on females than males". Rework shiny colors for some mons into variations, like Smeargles with like 10 different tail colors. Add unique variations that are very rare like Spiky Ear Pichu, Rainbow Paint Smeargle, or Heart Chest Wooper. 3. Pokemon Personality- In the games, pokemon come in hundreds of different kinds, but they all act like the same thing. Add personalities into them, similar to Miitopia, so that they become more like characters within the game. A stubborn pokemon might refuse to return to you if you call it back, but it might also endure a hit that would've KO'd it. A pokemon with a chill personality might use a move you don't tell them to use, but this might also cause the opponent to relax, lowering their stats. Their animations could be affected as well, with an energetic pokemon moving around more than a chill personality. 4. More Double Type attacks - They introduced Flying Press, a Fighting/Flying type move that acts as both types as once, and as such can cause more or less damage accordingly. Why stop there, have Muddy Water be a Ground/Water type, Blaze Kick be Fire/Fighting, or Fusion Bolt being Dragon/Electric. Signature moves would probably be more likely to have the double type damage, but you could have moves in double battles fuse together to cause more damage or create unique moves with special effects. 5. Defensive options - Right now, the main pokemon battle system lacks basically any defensive options. Sure, there's Protect like moves, but it could be expanded much more. Have 3 different defensive options, Dodge, Counter, or Block, with each having their own advantages or disadvantages. Dodging is more chance based, where if successful, you dodge all damage from a move, but failure will result in full or maybe more damage from the move. Counter aims to minimize damage while also damaging the opponent, by clashing your move against theirs. Blocking focuses on minimizing or nullifying damage, while giving you priority for the next attack. Using these options would consume PP from moves. 6. Version Exclusive changes - There are ways they could change it, one is have no version exclusives and just release one game. A better option I feel is have 1 game have a pokemon be common in one, like Route 8 has Goomy spawn 30% of the time, but in the other Goomy can also spawn, but only at like 3% spawnrate. The final option is go the exact other way, by having one game have all the new mons and then like 300 other gen mons, but the other game has all the new mons and then like 300 different other gen mons. Add different gym leaders like Sword/Shield had or kinda different plotlines, like in Game 1 the 2nd Villain attack is in the jungle area but for Game 2 the 2nd Villain attack occurs at the Oil Refinery. 7. Social Network - Add a social network thing so you can see how different characters in the world connect to each other. Find out that the Electric Gym Leader has a connection to the Elite 4's son. This idea could connect to... 8. More Friends/Rivals - Have many more friends and rivals, each with their own goals and personalities. A pokemon breeder that hatched a shiny pokemon, and now in their off time are shiny hunting, with their grand collection of like only 2 shinies. A talented and lucky trainer who is bored of battles due to their skills, whose love for battles is reignited by a battle against you. They've got rare and strong pokemon, and even have a shiny pokemon they started their journey with. Generic friendly rival who, after losing so much to you, goes down a bad path. Let me have like 9-10 friends/rivals, that each fall into a different subgroup of pokemon player. 9. Cooler Pokedex - Arceus improved the pokedex by giving us different tasks to actually fill out, but there is more you could do. Make us have to find out what pokemon like which berries through trial and error, special tasks like have a Zangoose and a Serviper meet to see the relation, and let us take the pictures of the mons ala Pokemon Snap. If possible, let us actually fill out the information of the mons, like have the generic outline of the mon, and we fill out the information for the pokemon. The professor would ask us, "Did you see any wild Vanillite being created out of something", and we have to choose between a snowman, an ice-cream machine, or an icicle. They would then ask, "What caused the ****** to create the Vanillite" We then use the fact that we saw it coming out in the morning light to answer "Morning Light".

Voice acting, even a little bit, would be awesome to see in a pokemon game!! Ideally it would be handled like Neo:TWEWY does it, having little ‘sample phrases’ or grunts on certain lines, not all lines if it doesn’t need it (like random NPC/shop clerk talk), and maybe a few fully voiced conversations, or limit that to just cutscenes. Having some kind of indicator of what voice a character might have without having to wait on a whole anime existing would be real nice. Also, exclamations like ‘oh!’ or ‘huh?’ or whatever would contribute to the reaction in the moment feeling real.

[@WelziFC7]

Long post sorry: I always thought it’d be cool to have an “adult Pokémon region”. Where you start the game as an adult (or you continue on from your championship run as a child) and you’re brought back to the lab and it’s explained to you that the whole gym challenge was watered down because you were a child now you can challenge the true test because you’re an adult now (I WANT A BEARD IN POKÉMON) in this challenge you choose a trainer class and you’re given a starter based off that class, i.e. you choose a black belt class and you’re given 3 fighting starters to choose from. The game would essentially force you into a monolocke of sorts and now you go against all gym leaders in any order you want, all the gym leaders now have their “real teams” full of fully EV and IV trained Pokémon and all Pokémon are set to a level cap like in online battles. Now instead of someone like Brock having Geodude and Onix he now has like TTar, Rhyperior, Aerodactyl, Rampardos, and Agron or to add an extra challenge theyd each have a pseudo or a full legend on their team. It only makes sense because they’re the strongest person with that type in the region so there should be no reason a random hiker later in the game has better rock Pokémon than Brock for example. All 8 gym leaders, all elite 4 members, and the champion have teams like this. After you beat the gym. I would also like an option with online compatibility that links with this option where if either on your friends list or just through WiFi you can choose to take over a gym. If you beat Brock with a Rock team you’re given the option to have your team and character put in the game as a “gym leader” option. And when you’re currently playing and connected to WiFi a notification comes on your screen saying “a trainer has challenged your gym!” And you have the option of jumping into the WiFi battle with them using your gym leader team or if you choose to not participate they default to fighting Brock. If you win then the money that player drops is added to your account and vise versa. It would be randomly selected with everyone who has agreed to take over that gym and you’d have a 1 in like 500,000 chance of getting selected so one person isn’t bombarded with notifications. There could even be a “Gym Roster” section where the challenger can see a list of potential opponents with a record next to their name that updates and they can choose who they’d like to battle for their badge.

[@thegreatzucchiniidkalastna3743]

I really want multiple save files. Maybe 3, so you get a chance to use all three starters from start to finish, and you get to experiment with multiple teams and all the new Pokémon they introduce. I grow attachments to my team lol, so I can’t delete my game, but I want to play through it multiple times. You can do this on switch since you can have multiple profiles, but I think it should just be in the game. Having multiple saves would be awesome especially in more story based Pokémon games like mystery dungeon, where you might want to re-experience the story and characters. I don’t know why they haven’t done this yet lol

[@gligarguy4010]

Very few RPGs do this (since it would be a feature almost no one would use), with New Game+ being the standard instead.

[@velvetbutterfly]

I hated that Xenoblade X and 2 did this when the first game gave you several files. Though what's worse is BotW too, not even multiple saves or NG+ at all. For Pokemon I wouldn't make it multiple saves. Rather you can choose to reimagine your journey, you do the plot again, from the opening to the final boss, you can pick new Pokemon, basically do whatever. But, when you beat the final trainer you can find all your old pokemon safe and sound in a ranch or something, which is why you can't use them during the replay. Though maybe some like the Box legendary you can optionally rewrite it, or like if you catch it you get a little "but this is just a memory so you didn't catch two" message

[@kiwikarp9509]

Personally, I never want to see 2 regions in 1 game because the one time they did do it, we got a bland version of the orginal region that destroyed the level scaling. This was with the game that has the worst level scaling in the franchise, but even if the next try doesn't have that issue, I don't think they'll be able to balance it well.

[@SquintyGears]

It was only that way because of technical limitations that don't apply anymore. Frankly pokemon games have been staying stuck on mechanics that were work arounds invented to make gameplay possible on the gameboy. It's ridiculous that graphics is almost the only thing that moved forward. They're so terrified to experiment that every single "new" mainline feature was actually tested in a side game first. I'm not talking about the combat gimmicks each game gets for 1 gen only. I mean actual gameplay changes, like how they're only axing tall grass blind encounters after testing it in let's go AND arceus... They're never trying to push the envelope.

[@kiwikarp9509]

@@SquintyGears I get that, but how would 2 regions change anything? If you have a bunch of dated mechanics and throw another region in there, the mechanics don't disapear. And knowing Gamefreak, the game design will definitely get worse. So it's not even a tradeoff, it's sacrificing something crucial for something overrated.

[@SquintyGears]

@@kiwikarp9509 well idk, a previous region has been the best "post game" we've ever seen. I think it hits a strong nostalgia chord too. It's not going to be the single killer feature that will make everyone buy that one game, but it's definitely a strong argument. You would be getting almost the value of 2 games in one. Since the alternative is buying shining diamond standalone... I do think some of the other suggestions in the video would be more interesting.

[@kiwikarp9509]

@@SquintyGears No offense, but did you not read my comments at all? I went into detail on why it didn't work the 1st time(aka bad post game) and why Gamefreak would likely make the same mistakes that made gold and silver(+the remakes) such a slog to get through. So I'll put things in a different perspective. The Galar region is pretty lacking in route design and content as is. Would adding the Kalos region as postgame fix this? No. If anything, it would make it worse because the devs are allocating time that would've gone towards region 1 into region 2. But that's still 2 regions, wouldn't it still be like 2 games in one? No. With the ridiculously short dev times pokemon gets, they'd never be able to fit everything from both regions. We'd probably get a quarter-baked Galar with even less content and a half-baked Kalos with some noticable cut content. I don't know about you, but if I had to choose between 1 mediocre region and 2 bad ones, I'd pick the first one everytime. Ok, but even in the worst case scenario, we'd be getting new content, right? Man I wish that was true, but how much of a nostalgia high Pokemon's had for gen 1 and nothing else, we all know they'd make the 2nd region Kanto no matter what. So every problem I mentioned earlier wouldn't even be for the sake of a new region. If you like gen 2 more than gen 8 in this scenario, you wouldn't have a reason to play Sword and Shield over Gold and Silver. Also, this "new" region would definitely replace the dlc islands, and I personally think that would result in worse content because none of the other regions except maybe Alola were designed for an open world format.

[@SquintyGears]

@@kiwikarp9509 i did read... Now this one has details. You said you thought quality would suffer but i don't and i didn't think it was important enough to talk about. Allot of people think they're getting worse. I actually think gamefreak reached all the wrong conclusions from the black and white backlash and we're still seeing the effects of that. And i don't think that's a quality thing because they achieved 100% of what they set out to do, they just had the wrong idea to start from. But it's just semantics because in the end the experience for us players is poor. To clarify the gen 5 thing. -A massive part of complaints were about the new roster. It's objectively terrible because half of it is gen 1 copy pasta. But the way gamefreak understood that was "they only want to see gen 1", instead of these designs are ass and don't remove everything we previously knew. That's how we got kalos....... They did eventually reach a cool compromise with regional variants (garbodor is essentially unovan muk, along with all the other examples) and these regionals are a much better version of that idea. But gamefreak still thinks we only want to see gen 1, and only gives them a regional..... -the praise of gen 5 revolves around the story... Guess what we got ever since? Except with the scope of the earth ending danger getting bigger our character has been less and less central to any of it. So it's bad writting... Sword and shield are the worst at this, sometimes massive blows up in the distance and the adults tell you "no don't worry your sports game tournament is more important, go play".... Gen 2's pace isn't poor because of the extra content it's a separate problem. They didn't have much experience and a tiny team (again issues locked in the past, they can't come back) Ultimately more map and trainers to encounter isn't extra work for everyone on the dev team equally. And since post game tends to be much lighter in story elements I think they have less probability of ruining it. PS: i didn't buy any dlc because the game was bad so i guess i didn't experience the best part.
