I'm a little surprised they haven't made Conquest 2 yet. I guess it would feature the Three Kingdoms characters, and the Japanese title would be Pokemon x Records of the Three Kingdoms?

Baby Doduo first, that was the most bizarre cut in the entire series. Such a good concept and design.

Add more baby pokemon so people have to work even harder to breed their perfect competitive team (which, given how streamlined breeding's become since Gen II, it's really not that large a hurdle)

PLEASE GOD NO. As a breeder I already put in my pound of flesh it doesn't need to be harder trust me.

edit: Also fingers crossed we finally get a proper plague doctor pokemon or at least a alternate evo for Spritzee

At the Battle Agency is your Pokemon always at the front of the party? Is there a way to put the ones borrowed from your friends as first instead?

I hope they announce Pokémon Bank compatibility with the Swtch and the Let’s Go games. I also want to play Sword and Shield with the Pokeball Plus even if it doesn’t have the Let’s Go throwing mechanics.

Well poo poo man they kinda have to. Pokemon bank is entirely built around transferring your pokemon down the gens.

I want them to do away with the conceit of the National Pokedex (it made some amount of sense when every region was a fantasy counterpart to a chunk of Japan, but now that we have Poke-New York, Poke-Normandy and Poke-England it's increasingly nonsensical) and fix some of the long-standing this-makes-no-sense-isms of the series like Nidoran still being two species. While they're at it maybe they could revisit some of the translation-induced stupidity, like Splash, the RageCandyBar and Mr. Mime.

While I agree that the National Pokedex should be called the Global Pokedex (or International Pokedex), all of the other stuff in your post is fine as is and should not be changed.

It's really weird that the Battle Agency only has 1 boss(okay technically 2 but you can only face 1 at any time).

Silver2195

Jokes aside, it's weird how little importance national boundaries in the Pokemon world seem to have compared to regional ones. Separate countries do exist in both the anime (e.g., the kingdom with all the Togepi from the Misty two-parter) and the games (e.g., Lt. Surge is "the Lightning American" and fought in a war; a few other characters are vaguely said to be "from another country"), but they don't come up very often.

Right, but if Bank works with Let’s Go it’ll be the first time you can transfer from Go to the main title games.

LGPE are confirmed mainline games themselves.

They're the remake entries for gen VII, following FRLG in gen III, HGSS in gen IV and ORAS in gen VI.

Probably just ignore them since the candy stats are already their own variable while the regular EVs still exist but are unused in Let's Go.

Kinda? They changed the mechanics pretty massively and aren't compatible with any other mainline entry for transferring Pokemon to/from so that's a bizarre distinction the Pokemon company made. And we still don't even have any confirmation we'll be able to transfer the Pokemon within to Gen VIII games.

I am curious to see if anything from LG actually makes it into Gen VIII because most of the obvious stuff (on field encounters, following pokemon, Go Style catching) was totally absent from the small preview we got.

Like why don't Colloseum or XD count as mainline if LGP/E do?

If they don't remake gen 4 for gen 8, can we expect a LG style remake for Crystal?

Only Game Freak games are mainline.

It's probably safe to ignore all the real world references in Gen 1 since that was before it was a franchise.

Isn't he still "The Lightning American" in HGSS (Gen 4), though? And the point about other characters said to be "from another country" (like Fantina) still stands.
