It would be awesome if they actually made a game where you can legitimately obtain every pokemon without having to attend events and stuff.

And in response to the discussion towards the beginning of this thread, the reason they won't make a game where you can go to all regions isn't because of the space it would require. It's all a marketing strategy. If you can't get to a certain region in one game, you'll buy another game so you can.
And that's the same reason for not making a game featuring every pokémon ;)

I think with generation 5 they should make a full on 3-D console game to go with the main games. I mean one where you can really control the pokemon in battle, travel to all four of the past generation locations, and catch the pokemon that won't be available in the Gen 5 games. Also I think Heracross, Pinsir, and Pachirisu should gain evolutionary forms, Bellsprout and Eevee should gain new branch evolutionary forms, and Miltank and Tauros should get a baby pokemon that depending on its gender becomes either Miltank or Tauros.

New idea: MewThree plus Silph Co.

Mewtwo had the power of all pokemon, and MISSINGNO could become any pokemon.
Porygon was the virtual reality pokemon, and MISSINGNO was a glitch, glitches can occur in virtual realities.
And when the Silph Co. Lab was gone (G/S) so was MISSINGNO.

I think Missingno should be reintroduced as MewThree. Being a glitch himself, the pokedex in unable to identify him, dubbing him Missingno, the number missing from the pokedex. He should team up with MewTwo (his "brother") and do some stuff. Team Rocket tries to control him, and you join them, because Team Rocket control him would be better than letting his destructive powers run free. Silph Co. would have a new base and finally be the center of the plot, as the creators of the Pok'eball should be!

I'm tired of seeing a gym (all of them infact) that's theme is type based. This makes the game stupidly easy for those of us who have been here forever, and do not provide a learning curb to the new generation, it only grinds the "X type beats Y type so find a pokemon with X type to beat the Y gym" concept into people's head, which should already be made an important part of the game at the start: where you fight your rival with the X to your Y. I would like to see gym themes that are more dynamic, and here are a few:
Double Battle (done as the 7th gym in Hoenn and worked quite well)
Stall-based team
pure sweepers
pokemon that have breed-only moves (such as Curselax, Bellyzard etc)
Baton-pass team
Hazard-teams (stealth rock, sandstorm, toxic spikes etc)

the list can go on as people think of more intresting strategies. This will help teach noobs interesting styles of play besides the typical idea that leveling your starter to 100 and owning everything with 4 attacks is an actual good idea.

Personally, i would like to see a hard mode of some kind. While this idea would absorb much of the chip-space i feel that it would keep us pros and people who will be transfering 4th gen pokemon from becoming very bored with the story/plot (as its always the same stuff). Being rewarded for playing on this mode wouldnt be too difficult. Just give us a pokemon(s) with unique moves after we beat the game. Such as a surfing pikachu, Banette with shadow force, etc.

also, i want HM's to completely disappear. The only hack i ever use in the main game is the walk-through-walls hack because im tired of stupid HM's that dont contribute anything to game play and only hamper the experience. We are all forced to have a Water-type (almost) due to surf, waterfall and other idiotic water-HM's. Also with the useless Cut and Flash it forces your pokemon choices unto you, which is VERY counter-productive to what the pokemon games are about: customization and personalizing your critters.

Lastly, i'd like to see a more efficient way to move between cities I've already visited. Agian, i'm forced to have a flying-type on my team if i want to get to past-cities without backtracking for long periods of time (some times requiring HM's) This combined with Surf/Waterfall we are actually only allowed 4 pokemon in a sense. Sure, some pokemon both surf and fly but why would you teach it surf, waterfall and fly? (and mabye whirlpool AND/OR dive?) My point is that it's a complete contradiction and an extremely outdated system of progressing the main character in the direction the game-makers want him/her to go. Get. Rid. Of. Them.

I don't know if someone has mentioned this but I'm not gonna check 31 pages, I'd like to see some legendaries that don't have some insanely godlike role, like God of pokemon, controller of time, pokemon of willpower, the pokemon that controls nightmares or the land etc....

I just want something that doesn't control something, like Lugia, guardian of the sea or Ho-Oh the mirage pokemon. These guys are considered legendaries and they don't need to control anything like the dream world or the sea.

Just some old fashioned legendaries would be nice no more gods

I don't think starters will be fighting/psychic/dark, because psy atacks don't affect Dark Pokémon, which gives the other kinda an unfair adventage. Probably Fire/Water/Grass, but maybe Dual-typed indeed.

What do I hope for?
- Maybe Eeveelutions (a normal typed for exemple)
- Less Water-Pokémon, there are too much of them, more Fire types
- New type combinations, I hope every combo will exist, but that probably won't be.
- More evolutions and babies of Pokémon from older gens.
- Original Pokémon

Wasn't that your idea of a hack game? Or somebody else's.

Fighting/Dark/Psychic isn't a proper trio, as Psychic doesn't effect Dark.

Things like Rock, Flying, Fighting would have worked, but since they won't create a pure Flying type, it wouldn't work.

Basically I'm trying to say I hope they stick with Grass, Fire, and Water. :) But the final evos could have Rock, Flying, and Fighting in them, or other three types that work the same.

what i aspire to have in the 5th generation are legendary horses which epitomizes the horsemen of the apocalypse. just like what the bible prophecy in the book of revelations reveals. their characteristics are as follows:

The White Horse which represents the anti-christ/false prophet/conqueror - Light Type

The Red Horse which represents war - Fire Type

The Pale Horse which represents famine/disease- Poison Type

The Black Horse which represents death - Dark Type

no, worst idea ever, it is worse than arceus
have of what you said is not even cannon, it would never happen,
and they did not create the pokeball
...
any ways, what thye need to do is add some more story opitons other than just being a new trainer
maybe have a option to join the bad guys for once or be full on cordintator, somthing like that

Hey - you stole my idea! :P But yeah, I had the same idea for my design of a fifth-generation game. But mine aren't actual horses, they're all different looking, and none are light-typed (never liked the idea of a Light type). Also, you missed out Famine.

Pestilence - Poison. First poison-typed legendary.
War - Fighting. Fits much better than Fire, and would be the first fighting-typed legendary.
Famine - Ground. Because you know, dry ground=no crops=famine.
Death - Dark/Ghost. The trio master.

I've named Famine "Exhortic" and Death "Meggidos".

Then they have an opposing trio+master to prevent the apocalypse. It's a jungly region with a huge river and lake, so they go as follows:

Water - Protector of the Rivers.
Grass - Protector of the Forests.
Rock - Protector of the Mountains.
Flying (as in pure flying) - Named "Griffoar". Based on the legendary Griffin, with some influences from Pegasus. The trio master. Protector of the skies.

So yeah, ironically the only one (sort-of) based on a horse is in fact the opposition to the Four Horsemen.

But yeah, I think It would be a good idea. I have an idea where the plot would involve you having to prevent the apocalypse, finding the trio and defeating them, and then having to summon Griffoar to fight Meggidos. That would be pretty cool.

The reason there are so many water types is because it reflects the real world, where very many creatures are aquatic. I would like to see more bugs to reflect this balance though.

I wouldn't mind HMs returning, as long as they are actually useful in battle. As long as defog or flash dont return. IMO, those two moves are the biggest mistep in RPG history; besides FF12's battle system.

I also do not want to see another legendary trio which are all the same type. It makes sense for the faeries but never again.

My final thing is to make maps seem more realistic. Make cities more full and bustling with people, make the cities bigger and more building-y, and to add stuff like shops that sell more than just potions and to have more modes of transport. like jets, cars and trains.

There would be lawsuits up the ass if that happened.

Is there a problem with Eevee?

- More evolutions and babies of Pokémon from older gens.
Oh God, please...no more of those...no, no, no... -shakes head in disapproval-

- New type combinations, I hope every combo will exist, but that probably won't be.
I've been waiting on a Fire/Water or Fire/Ice for years now. Fire/Electric would also be interesting. Also, I wouldn't mind a male counterpart to Lopunny. Male Gardevoir were creepy, so we got Gallade. Male Lopunny are creepy, so we should get something.

Four generations of Pokemon have gone by and there has yet to be a Dark-type Gym (though 1st Gen doesn't count since Dark didn't exist back then). True there are Karen and Sidney of the Elite Four but those technically aren't Gym Leaders.

We seriously need a Dark-type Gym in the 5th Gen.

I was thinking about this the other day, and considering Sydney didn't uphold the power of Dark-types, we need a tough Dark gym leader to gain back any lost glory.
