What would you change?

I'd change the name of 'Perish Song' to 'Friday', and it'd instantly kill all Pokemon on field. Not faint. K-I-L-L.

But seriously, I'd retcon Emolga to evolve from Pachirisu, and the same for Alomomola to evolve from Luvdisc, adjusting stats where needed.

Meh, I don't have a lot of things I want to change besides the repetitive structure of the games (start off in a small town in a forest region, choose between grass/fire/water, fight villain team, one lame rival, rumble around caves full of bats and rock types, proceed through big forest, arrive at major city, churn churn churn, come to an area with ice and dragon types, Victory Road full of rock types, E4). I mean, I understand that there needs to be structure and continuity, but I would like for Gamefreak to add a twist to the story in upcoming games.

Actually now that I've thought about it I'd do away with HMs... those are my biggest peeve.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Critical hits need to go ASAP.

These are horrible ideas.

Its understandable that you don't play Pokemon for the story. But others do. And just like many other long running franchises, there is a core formula to a Pokemon game just like there is a core formula for a Mario or Zelda game.

Only one thing I'd change; I'd go discuss this stuff over here instead.

Hmm the only thing i'll change is focus blast to focus miss xD jk but seriously if they want it to be that inaccurate give it at least more power xD

These are horrible ideas.

I completely agree. Pachirisu evolving into Emolga would be retarded.

I'd like to see the games being more atmospheric and lore/story-driven [like the Zelda and Metroid franchises, not with tons of cutscenes, like Uncharted, Heavy Rain and similar games]. I only play the main quest in Pokémon games, post game and the competitive scene are boring to me, so a more structured and more story-oriented main quest would be great for me. I would also change the fandom, Pokémon has one of the worse fandoms in the existence.

I actually love RPGs with a good story, which Pokemon mostly has, but all I am saying is that it wouldn't hurt to mix it up a little; if they insist on two versions of every release, why not make one more mature and one for the n00bs? As for core formula: one of the best Zelda games to date is "Link's Awakening" which doesn't even have Zelda or Hyrule in it; if the Zelda franchise could, so can Pokemon!

Make the elite four duel type specialist instead of just 1 single type.

I would change the typings, they're are some pokémon that deserves it more
Luxray-Electric/Dark
Samurott-Water/Steel Water/Fighting

Gone But Not Forgotten
As long as we're talking about types, Infernape and Emboar not Fire/Fighting.
Kingdra not Water/Dragon

Doduo/Dodrio unable to use Fly
Gyarados Water/Dragon
Seel Water/Ice
Golduck Water/Psychic
Disable some of the fire Pokemons to learn Solarbeam (a lot of them became capable in 4th Gen onwards)
Water types weak to poison
Braviary and Mandibuzz not gender counterparts
Alomomola as Luvdisc's evolution

Luxray-Electric/Dark
Samurott-Water/Steel Water/Fighting
I disapprove your suggestions.

Luxray, maybe, but the dark type would just add weaknesses and make it less used.

Samurott's stereotype doesn't fit well in the fighting category and much less as the steel type. You suggest that because it seems you're a fan of Samurott, it doesn't need a secondary type. Serious.

As long as we're talking about types, Infernape and Emboar not Fire/Fighting.
Kingdra not Water/Dragon
About Emboar I agree, but don't about Infernape. 4th Gen was the first to have all final starters with double type. Infernape fits well as fighting. Infernape fits well as fighting, but Emboar doesn't.

Kingdra is okay as Water/Dragon. It's not an ordinary seahorse, it's dragon-like seahorse.

They should invent an item that would allow nidorina and nidoqueen to breed. If they can have incenses produce certain baby pokemon, for sure they can make it possible for the female nidoran evolutions to breed with an item. Not an incense, maybe, but some kind of item.

Ninetails learning pyschic...that's the only thing I'd change

I would increase Focus Blast's accuracy from 70% to 85%. It should be on par with Fire Blast.
