Plus, I'mma be real

Traditional Pokémon is way easier to Nuzlocke with traditional rules.

I would hate to lose that.

 

[Jondolio]

I mostly just want a brand new generation with the Legends format. I said this before, but a game in that style with a whole new roster of Pokémon sounds ****ing amazing

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If I had to take a guess, Legends and Traditional are gonna be cocurrent series.

So they don't exhaust the Legends format like they did with the traditional. And keep traditional fans happy.

Man, imagine being this boring /s

No but really, after hearing a lot of people go "Im never going back" and THE pokemon streamer Shofu say "We never going back" i think it would be smart to not go back. At least keep the Legends format while still being trditional, please GF im begging you. Legends made me like pokemon again, dont **** it up

 

[Noipoi]

Traditional Pokemon is sticking around because of competitive and stuff like that.

Not to mention they wouldn't want to completely alienate casual players and traditional Pokemon fans.

Not to mention, it makes buttloads of coin.

My bet is gen 9 drops late this year/late next year, and it's back to the usual Pokemon stuff. But in a couple years we'll get Legends Necrozma or something.

I legitimately can't go back

As in I haven't enjoyed a traditional Pokémon game since I played USUM in 2018

Wouldn't Legends Gen 5 be on the table?

'Cause Arceus does a lot of Gen 5 teasing from what little spoilers I know about late game.

A Legends Original Dragon would be cool. Maybe in like an old timey, wild west Unova.

Though I dunno how i'd feel about going back in time in America as a black guy

Honestly, maybe Legends fans not turning back to the mainline games can be a good thing if both styles continue forward.

GameFreak would be free to make main games friendly for kids and casual players without getting backlash and Legends can get more experimental if it has a dedicated fanbase.

 

[Jondolio]

Seriously though, as much as I love the prospect of exploring historical settings in Pokémon, the idea of the Legends formula being exclusive to them is kinda lame.

Give me a whole new regional dex to play around with

They could just ignore real history, but that may not the way to go.

One interesting idea would be if it took place in the actual future. High tech cities, large landscapes, and maybe science brings back the original dragon, causing destruction in the region.

Like imagine a post apocalyptic Unova where they lost the pokedex and other facets of science, resulting in you needed to help save the region/world from destruction.

To be fair, it's probably not very easy to make an open world map like this while also adding a lot of Pokemon designed to move dynamically on it.

There's a reason SMT V also didn't have a ton of (new) demons.

The one thing I was thinking is how cool would it be to be in a new region, exploring with this gameplay style, and coming across something you’ve never seen before.

You don’t know what type it is, you don’t know if it’s friendly or hostile, you won’t even know it’s lore until you do some research tasks. You just gotta figure it out.

But I realize it’s a bit of a pipe dream.

Skin color is our difficulty option.

The darker you are, the harder the game.

Then they should put less old Pokémon in there. Go back to how things were in Gens 3 and 4.

Like would anyone miss that mf Charizard for instance?

[Jondolio]

Also planning my team for Legends Kyurem without repeating mons from old teams sounds way too hard

tf you mean I can't use six Chandelure?

 

[ZephyrZ]

People are acting like the next game being traditional would mean no more Legends style games ever.

I think alternating between the two would help keep both series fresh. Do you guys really want Legends games released semi-annually until we all get burned out on them?

I mean... they put fewer old Pokemon in SwSh and people were less than enthused.

 

[TheMightyP]

The Gen 4 remakes only had mons from 1-4, so the Gen 5 remakes should only have mons from Gen 5-8(9).

Fair trade.

If Pokemon’s really gotta be annual, I’d prefer if Legends games just kinda came out…whenever.

Not on a set schedule, just whenever one is ready to go. It’d keep things exciting.

I understand the people who are burned out by traditional Pokémon, but I enjoy the basic formula enough. I could stomach a couple years of standard Pokémon until the next Legends is ready.

The only problem I have with going to the old style are the inevitable posts saying stuff like "Why did they go back to the ****ty old style of gameplay instead of making it like legends" completely ignoring the fact that the games were probably in development at the same time.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbg, Legends is not the type of game that can be pumoed out anually like that.

That said though, I have three hopes that PLA has that carries over to the traditional games.

1. Faster battle system
2. No Trade Evolutions
3. Replace Gyms. They're ****ing boring now.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I can live without him being in some games but I do miss him.

...It's okay. We'll get a Legends Mew eventually. The Zard doesn't have to be in Legends Kyurem or Legends Rayquaza.

What I don't understand is how it took Pokemon fans 25 years to notice how much they hate Pokemon's gameplay.

Also keep Effort Levels, IVs and EVs were a horrible system that made me feel like my Pokémon were useless.

I still want the seamless wild battles, it feels so much better than the long battle intro every time.

 

[Z25]

Honestly Gen 9 should keep the open world or open area design, but make each part connected. Keep the mission system to, and throw in some exclusive things to encourage people to do them. Then leave stuff like an ancient world and the agile/strong style for legends games.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I aint asking for legends to be pumped out annualy

Im just saying I cant go back to traditional
