My dream Pokemon game is open world with level range zones like Fallout NV.
When a wild Pokemon sees you, it runs to attack and if it catches you, your Pokemon at the top of the roster pops out, a makeshift arena opens in the area (taking into account to topography) and then you control you Pokemon directly like an action game.

Just play Firered then. Or Red. Or Pokemon GO. Or any of the other billion things that are just 151 oriented

151 is boring as sin at this point and excludes all the best pokemon

In a just world Pokemon would've died the early death it deserved and we'd be hyping ourselves up over the latest generation of Robopon.

I've always wanted a mainline pokemon game to give you the option to opt out of being a trainer. You won't get in battles and you can just focus on running a shop or making friends with a pokemon to play stylist or something.

Sun/Moon convinced me that Pokémon games can still be fun and cool imo

they added a lot of small QOL changes that should've been added 10 years ago and all of the new Pokémon were very cute and good. I liked it.

It's likely a play to rope in people that haven't played Pokemon for years and years, or brand new players. I bet it'll work out to their benefit, and I also bet they'll introduce subsequent generations down the line, either free or as DLC.

e: I also think people underestimate how popular Pokemon Go is. If there's some way to get Pokemon Switch to integrate with it then this game'll take off. More so if they can release the later generations sooner than later.

On one hand, it makes a lot of sense, on the other I cant help but think it seems super odd to lead with a really conservative sounding remake. Pokemon Sun/Moon had a kind of ridiculous amount of tutorials / new-player friendly features, so it seems almost silly they'd need to reduce the pokemon count/variety back to the original 150 just for new players. I can see it as a "get nostalgia fans back on board" similar to GO, but that feels like such a comprise when they could just place a focus on original 150 rather then making it exclusively them.

Honestly the name and leaked details make it really sound like an offshoot game kind of like Mystery Dungeon, but again it strikes me as super weird that they'd lead with one of these games on switch.

Well, a region with a few prefectures in it. Tokyo is in it and it's the population center of the country. I'm not a pokemon fan and the first time I said where I was to a pokemon fan friend he got all weird really fast.

edit: he explained to me that the other regions also represent regions of Japan (except for the latest games) but only Kanto is named the same as the real one.
