What do you want to see in the 5th gen?

[Bombsii]

More character choices than just : standard boy + standard girl

Everyone wants a make-your-own gym. Like having a old abandoned gym and customising it, eventually forming a gym.

Bring back secret dens and improve them, a lot.

Bring back a new version of the seven islands, they were fun in LG/FR

Kill the eeveelutions. Now.

Have a feature about going to find fossils in the desert or other places and defossillising it by taking it back to someone. Fossil finding. You can get money for selling them or keep them for new pokemon.

not really. I found them an annoying sidequest with not much of a point.

Kill the eeveelutions. Now.

Please die/stop posting.

The underground says hi.

Yeah, I want to be a hermaphrodite :< Pokemon is sooo unfair. And there has to be boyboys and boyboygirls and boyboyboygirls. And girlgirlboys.

No really, what else can you do?

 

[Blaziking the God General]

The ability to walk diagonally.

Yesss!

You start to notice these things after playing Final Fantasy too long. You press the left and down buttons and then you begin to wonder why your game isn't working. And then it hits you.

Plus in the fifth generation they should use the combat system like that in FFXII. Though that would never happen, it would be completely awesome. :D

 

[Evolutionary]

Yesss!

Yep.

And why get rid of the Eeveelutions? Anyway I don't think they'd get RID OFF any Pokemon.

Ehh...but probably no more new ones, they're becoming a cheap way to make new Pokemon.

 

[Dragonclaw]

Yesss!

Agreed, that'd be awesome! :)
And yes, no more Eeeveelutions, their are plenty for everyone.

Ever wonder where some of the resistances/weaknesses came from? Like, why the hell are psychics weak to Bug type? It's because they had difficulty balancing all the types out. Bug was pretty much Psychic's only weakness back in Gen 1 (ghost was supposed to be effective against it too, but I believe due to a bug it is not) until Dark was added in gen 2. And why would Dark attacks be weak against Fighting? I guess, since Psychic beat Fighting and Dark beat Psychic, they should have Fighting beat Dark to make it a triangle. Fighting also has the distinction of being the only type effective against Normal and one of 3 that are good against Steel. For that matter, why is Psychic weak against Steel? Don't psychics bend spoons and whatnot?

Psychic and Bug: Bugs have simplistic minds that make them hard to mess with. Also, they are annoying and crawl all over everything. Certainly enough to screw with someone who needs mental concentration

Dark and Fighting: Well, if you think about it, you could consider the fighting type as following a path of righteousness, and as such, are strong against th-I have no clue either

Dark and Psychic: Not sure about that either. I remember posting something SOMEWHERE giving a good explanation of that...

Psychic and Steel: Well, the fact that it is a huge mass of steel may help out. Also, the mental force required for such a feat (bending a steel type, or even denting it) would have to be huge

Fighting and Steel: I had to mention this. Considering how regular humans can break bricks with training, a fighting type breaking steel isn't that Farfetch'd *insert groan here*


Anyways, maybe the plot being different depending on your choices in game? [E.G. You can catch x legendary at y spot. If you do so, you foil a part of team z's plans, requiring them to try something else. However, if you fail to catch it, then team z catches the legendary temporarily and destroys city w]. Also, maybe some recognition for catching a legendary? Or at the very least, not giving trainers such as Palmer a REGIGIGAS! Honestly, if the Pokemon is so powerful that it can move CONTINENTS, and is so RARE that there is only supposed to be ONE of it in existence, then why can you catch one and face a trainer who also has it in-game?

Pokemon based on species of animals that haven't been explored yet in the Pokemon games

Most notably, I want a Pink Fairy Armadillo Pokemon:

 

[Evolutionary]

I want a Kiwi Pokemon~

 

[Alakazam]

I would like to see some more interesting Pokemon types i.e Dark/Steel or Psychic/Rock etc.

 

[Icalasari]

Species and Accessories having (more of in the case of accessories) an effect in contests. Take the Silk Veil for example. It gives two points in the created. I think it should also add points based on the type of contest. So, in a tough contest, the veil would take away one point (never going below zero points). In a beauty contest, it would give a bonus point.

Another example would be Milotic. It is the most beautiful Pokemon ever, while Feebas is among the ugliest. Then how is it that I beat a Beauty Contest so easily with a Feebas, yet sometimes struggled with a Milotic? It would be nice, if, say, due to Feebas' hardiness, it scores 10% more points in a tough contest, but due to its sheer ugliness, it scores 10% fewer points in the beauty contest (all of this in the visual section). Milotic, on the other hand, would score, say, 20% more points in beauty, but at the sharp cost of 10% fewer points in tough, due to its beauty making it not seem strong (even though those things can take a hit from a Garchomp then knock it out >.>), and 10% fewer points in smart (stereotyping)

Also, I want the wide variety of attacks from RSE contests back. In fact, make it like this:
-Modified Visual Stage
-Bigger Buttons in Dance Stage (I sometimes miss the buttons by JUST a millimetre due to my screen not calibrating correctly >.<)
-RSE style appeal stage (they can keep the multiple judges if they want. I just want the huge variety of attack abilities to be brought back ;.;)

 

[Sapphiron]

Also, there should be more rivals and/or recurring characters. Sometimes, I feel like Dawn, Lucas, and Pearl are the only ones scouring the region to fight the Elite Four and Team Galactic, or that Red and Gary are the only ones trying to fight the Elite Four.

A talking player character could be possible, but it would be a double-edged sword. Sure, it would destroy the strangeness of having a player character that's a mime in casual clothing or just saying "Michael told them what happened" (More or less paraphrased quote from Pokemon XD.) On the other hand, the player character may be cursed with cheesy dialogue. Hm, a player character liking cheese...oh wait.

Also, although highly improbable, they should make a child trainer or at least a teen that's a member of the evil organization, or at least in cahoots with them. Isn't it at least semi-strange that there are only adults in the evil organization, and they are fighting a kid?

Another improbable idea: an inherently wicked legendary or group of legendaries. One that personifies corruption, or a group that resembles different sins (i.e. uncontrollable fury, greed, pride, etc.)

 

[Roguemagus]

I want a Kiwi Pokemon~

Yes. YES.

And it must know Drill Peck.

 

[Alliniere]

Requesting:

-Customizable characters.

-As Gold, Silver, and Crystal allowed you to revisit Kanto... I want that for ALL the regions. In one Game. Please.

 

[Erif]

A mature Pokemon, completely different from the original. Too bad that'll never happen. D=

 

[EvilCrazyMonkey]

I don't really want to see a fifth generation with new pokémon. I wouldn't mind new regions or multiple regions in one game, though. Also, I don't want Generation V to be reliant on Generation IV, that is, legendaries/starters are missing and won't be available.

does this imply that pokémon are not mature?

 

[shadow_lugia]

Perhaps you could actually speak into the microphone.

 

[Roguemagus]

Nature/Nurture would be an interesting balance of legendaries. One could be Steel-type and the other could be Grass-type.
