"If you could improve Pokemon games. What would you add or remove from the games?"

I love pokemon games, but I have ideas that could push the current formula into modern day. I would like to see them go all out!1) Companions would be absolutely awesome. Imagine how great it would be to feel like Ash and have your group of Companions with you? Don't know what to do with them? Give them purposes! For example, if Nemona is in your party, increase your pokemons Special Atk and Atk stat. If Arven is with you, increase your sandwich powers by 1 level, participate in double battles with them, etc... Kinda lame when the story makes it seem like you're best friends with these characters, but yall don't travel in this huge open world together.2) Set teams would be great - instead of individually setting pokemon. Give us 3 slots to change our teams on a fly. This is more a quality of life change, but it still improves the game considerably for me.3) BECOME A GYM LEADER. I don't know about yall, but the same story beat where you visit gyms and beat all the leaders is getting played out to me. Let's become the thing we face! It makes for great end game content, and radiant quests development. Become more than the champ, be the defending Champ! It can even be taken into the online scene where we compete in other people's gyms. Only restriction here, is that whatever type you choose, your pokemom must be of that type. Can't be a fairy gym leader, and use all Dark/Ghost types.4) Give Pokémon more purposes than just battling. Add them into puzzle solving mechanics. Maybe there's a spot of treasure behind an ice wall, and only a fire or fighting type can break it. Or there's a big patch of grass that only certain pokemon like and you need a Leafeon, to make the grass grow so it can spawn the Special types that gather there.5) Last but not least, UNDERWATER! We've been gliding on top of water for generations now, and it's getting old. How would that work you ask? We have pokemon that fly, pokemon that dig underground, why not have a pokemon with submarine-like capabilities? How would you catch pokemon? Bring back PLA style of catching! SV regressed when they made us start battles to catch pokemon again, but PLA was absolutely perfect! Hide in a patch of seaweed and boom! The mon never knew what hit em.These are just a few of my views and opinions. What do you guys think? Do you have any great ideas that can take these games we all love and push it into something truly amazing? PLEASE leave your ideas below! via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/AS4cQlN
