Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
What improvements do you think should be made in future pokemon version games?

boom.
I agree with the plot thing (see my post in the "What would be a good game story?" thread for my idea).
I also think it would be a good idea to be able to travel through different regions like in GSC where you could travel to Kanto.
Pokemonwise, I'd like to see a lot more pokemon like Rhyperior and Dusknoir that evolve when traded holding a specific item, and I (not sure about everyone else, but meh) would like pokemon with evolution trees that branch a lot more, so you can get three or four different pokemon from just one common pokemon. Preferably these would be different-typed.
And, of course, more Eevee evolutions, so Eevee's still special.

AT LEAST TWO SAVE FILES!!!
And of course, better plot, eviler bad guys (I wouldn't mind a return of TR).
Also, mood. This is hard to objectively decide, but, for example, I didn't really feel the world of Sinnoh. It seemed a little bland except for a few cool areas. In other games I enjoyed just wandering around, talking to people, catch some semi-worthless Pokemon, etc.
Although this is different for everybody, I didn't really like D/P's music that much. Especially the battle music.
I think that Wi-Fi battles could be improved, too. I think it would work better just to have, like, some item that turns on your connection, so you don't have to arrange times beforehand or w/e. Sort of like an IM program. You are 'on' but not just sitting there waiting for a battle, you can still go play the regular game. Of course, I don't know if that's technologically feasible, but I'm sure they can figure something out.

No more "3D Just Because We Can" graphics. We saw more than enough of that in the Stadium series (proof that Pokémon and 3D don't mix!) so the last thing we need is having it in the main games, too. Nintendo is definitely capable of making good 2D graphics, even in Pokémon games (as seen in Mystery Dungeon and Ranger... and D/P's in-battle sprites), so it seems a bit silly to ditch all that for sub-par 3D.
Plus, having 3D graphics in a game that's still 2D in every other way is incredibly stupid.
Multiple save files would be good, too. Pokémon save files can't be THAT big compared to some of the other RPGs that do allow multiple saves.
No "return of Team Rocket." Or should I say, not another return of Team Rocket--they did that already in Gold/Silver, and doing it again post-G/S/C just wouldn't make any sense.
Yeah, adding new gangs for each generation is kinda cheesy and all (especially if they're all called "Team ____"), but it's still better than not making any sense at all--if Giovanni wanted to be involved with Team Rocket again, he would've shown up in Gold/Silver, and without Giovanni in charge the others are pretty much just a bunch of thugs who can't pull off much of anything by themselves.
And the storyline... well, if you have a real storyline (more than "Team ____ wants to catch ____ in a feeble attempt to take over the world!") in a standard Pokémon game, something's going to feel tacked-on; either the storyline itself or the "beat 8 gyms and then fight the Elite Four" path that every game goes through.
I doubt they'll ever come up with a way to have both a decent storyline AND the usual "8 gyms, then the Elite Four" thing.

Eevee
usually right
make them not boring
I have owned Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire, Leaf Green, Diamond, and Pearl. the last game in which I beat the Elite Four was Silver because I either lose interest before I get there or can't be buggered to grind for eighteen hours to beat them or earn the cash to item-scum my way through. I didn't beat Red for obvious reasons so I don't even know if that counts as beating the game.
it's the same story over and over, just with some new mechanics that are never explained in-game, another Important Person somewhere to give you some tiny glimpse at your stats or make the game slightly less of a grind, and a new replacement for Rattata and Pidgey
aka "they're boring"

this is another way of saying "there's nothing to really do so we have to make up some enjoyment ourselves"
aka "they're boring"

All this stuff.
Also some new pokémon based on life forms we haven't seen before, like a real worm, centipede/millipede, slime moulds (fungus-like things that move. seriously), proper (sea) sharks, sponges, and so on.
