If Pokémon were to ever relaunch and do a hard reboot, what Pokémon would you wanna see (old or new) for the first region?

    Just curious to know kinda interested to see what you all come up with. Doesn't have to be an absurd amount, and if this is already a topic delete plz.

    Cut out the bigger favorites with a lot of spotlight in favor of lesser-known ones, like Deva suggested - for me, things like Chinchou, the elemental monkeys, Croagunk, Slugma, Tympole and the like come to mind. There are also some with decently-liked designs that didn't get too much use, like Lilligant, Manectric, Pyroar and others. A mix of unpopular and semi-liked/not often used would be good! I'd love to see those used more and get a new appreciation for them ~

    Ooooo, i like this idea. Especially with liligant (who if they used for the reboot should get a middle evolution)
     
    How about just an entire new Pokédex altogether like how gen 5 was? No old mons.

    Fair, i just think just think some old mons should stay.

    Edit: and get redesigned as this wouldn't be like a new generation it would be starting from the ground up.
     
    If there's a reboot, I think it should be a game with around 300 Pokémon. And make sure there's enough type variety, as well as good diversity of physical/special and offensive/defensive options for each type if possible. Don't repeat the Gen 1 mistakes like having multiple Normal/Flying overlaps, or multiple Grass/Poison lines, while leaving other types underrepresented like Ghost and Dragon being just one line (and Gen 2 hardly improving on that either)

    Include Pokémon with "unique" typings like Turtonator (yeah, I know it's not technically unique because there's Reshiram, Coughing Fire, and Mega Charizard X, but it's a unique typing among mundane Pokémon)

    Ice types only game set in the arctic :cool:

    Pretty much would like to see the less common/popular Pokemon shine some more. Stuff like Fearow, Dodrio.
    Also haven't seen mons like the Pan/simi monkeys and Patrat/Watchog since gen 6. Would also have said Furfrou but it's in the trailer for the new Legends so...

    Hard agree, I don't care so much about which specific Pokemon are included as I care about having a good variety of types/designs/playstyles available. Although I would prefer underutilized Pokemon to get the spotlight instead of the heavy hitters like Charizard and Pikachu for a change.
