How would you improve Pokemon

[Palademon]

More 3D story based games or making an mmo.

Making the actual formula better is tough.

I suppose more use of your pokemon outside of battle. No simple attacks to help with obstacles. Easily riding pokemon etc.
Making it so HMs don't have to take up an attack slot would be nice.

 

[Maxtro]

Full 3D with your lead Pokemon out of it's Pokeball or if you want, sitting on your shoulder depending on it's size. The bigger Pokemon are obviously going to have to be scaled down.

Game should be open world with no random battles.

When you tell your Pokemon to fight it moves around and uses the basic tackle and scratch moves automatically, the move powerful moves are commanded by the trainer. There would be a dodge command that is dependent on the speed and evasiveness of your Pokemon plus the accuracy of the attacking Pokemon's move. Some moves are harder to dodge than others.

Too bad something that actually shakes up the formula is never going to come.

Improve Pokemon? Sorry, I don't understand the question.

 

[CODE-D]

Make it a lifestyle game(yknow like they had secret bases or getting that villa in diamond)
customizable characters, age, shape, hair
You can get a house or a gym with all the money you save and you have to pay rent.
You can get married/engaged/girlfriend(not to pokemon)
Also be able to battle paint your pokemon for cooler colors since most shinies are stupid anyway.

Actually make them look original like they did in the first two gens. And a mix of types that haven't been mixed yet.

Pokemon MMO That would be awesome.

- Better multiplayer.
- Better Pokemon cries when sent out, not just a low quality blurt of sound.
- An actually good RPG where you play as a Pokemon, no Mystery Dungeon crap.
- Maybe a new game on a console, not a handheld.
