Anybody else want gen 4 remakes on the Switch? Definitely. Personally wouldn't be surprised if Game Freak did that with games from previous generations being released (Red>FireRed, Gold>HeartGold, Ruby>Omega Ruby), and feel it would be refreshing to explore Sinnoh again. I'd love to see a new Stadium game with an RPG mode like Colosseum and XD as well, or a game where you can set up parties to battle with online without having to have the Pokémon, like an official version of Pokémon Showdown.

A Pokemon Snap sequel, would be great as well. I think so as well! Also I wonder how a Pokémon platformer would go, like what happened with Chibi-Robo and Pikmin? That would be interesting though I might be in a minority of people who'd like that.

Honestly, I would prefer for GF to stop with the remakes. I feel like the franchise has become extremely manufactured, requiring a new title every 1 or 2 years. I would like instead for GF to transform the franchise, and put greater focus on the future of the franchise.

I enjoyed Sun/Moon for budging a little from the badge quest/the end of Black/White, however it's still the traditional turn-based battling and Game Freak haven't really changed that before. I think since it's so established though if it changed, it sadly may get some bad publicity (like Zelda: Wind Waker's art style, although opinions changed). If the new rumoured Pokémon Let's Go: Pikachu and Eevee versions are true we might see a different direction and it will be interesting to see how it's received if it is quite different.

For me the big problem is the overworld. When the games were 2D, the overworld worked fine, but with the 3DS games they just feel primitive. Xenoblade and Zelda have done such great work with creating interesting worlds to explore, Pokemon needs to be more ambitious with them.

Xenoblade and Zelda have done such great work with creating interesting worlds to explore, Pokemon needs to be more ambitious with them. I relate with this. I feel the overworld is more in line with how the 2D games used to be (and Colosseum/XD as 3D exceptions), in the sense that they are small/similar to the grid based games (I'm not sure how to express). I feel an open world Pokémon game like Xenoblade and Zelda would be interesting, and it could be a nice way to incorporate all of the Pokémon regions (e.g. by boat and/or plane) which is popular in fan creative works. It could take a very long development time for such a game but people may like it.
I'm looking forward to Sword and Shield for the philosophy; I feel Black/White emphasised how some things are not set in stone, but we can still get along (i.e. according to an interview, Unova as a multi-cultural region based on America that is a melting pot of cultures) and X/Y went deeper and in terms of Lysandre, felt like it alluded to not becoming too fixed on an idea to risk ignoring something else out of pride, and your plan (a beautiful world) becoming in vain (the idea of one's possessions possessing you and not realising it). Sun/Moon meanwhile, also felt related to Tao philosophy, with the sun as life (Solgaleo) and the moon as receptiveness (Lunala); Guzma as a highly 'masculine' archetype, Lusamine as a highly 'feminine' archetype.
I think Sword and Shield may be specifically about what love and war share in common.
In relation to Diamond and Pearl remakes I would like them to expand on the philosophy in a similar way perhaps. I found it fascinating that Lysandre and Cyrus appear complementary. Lysandre as excessively idealistic and Cyrus as excessively logical. ✿
