Yeah I dont think people will mind a short load screen (needs to be short) if the routes are much bigger and you can free roam around with cut trees and rocks places just to make you come back.

don't think there will be a combat gimmick, just more regional forms and megas, and the return of horde battles and triple battles
I think the gimmicks will be in the overworld and traversal and shit
Not sure for main, but I'm guessing we'll get something different from the trials this time to replace them, something new.
Either the equivalent of mega abilities, or some sort of overworld mechanic that will be front and center.
I hope Super Training returns and is improved from Gen 6, was sad when they removed it as it made EV training so much more intuative and easier to understand and opened up competitive Pokemon to new people.
And improve Hyper Training, no odd level 100 restrictions or one a day nonsense, let people's story Pokemon be viable in competitive which would further help the competitive become more open and accessiable for everyone, curbing the elitism. Also would help get rid of the creepy eugenics stuff that IV training unfortunately has at the moment.

Just less of the walk ten feet *explanatory cutscene* walk 20 feet *explanatory cutscene* walk to the end of the route *explanatory cutscene* would be good.
I feel like they could confer all the stuff they want much more succinctly than they did, especially in Sun/Moon, which made me feel like a teenager stuck at the mall with his mom. "Ugh, just let me go! I've got stuff I want to do!"
This sounds absolutely insane. I love it.
It'd probably never happen, but it'd be amazing if it did lol.
Ooh, nice catch.Could also be Madagascar:
They would make it Fire/Fighting. I'd rather have the Ox/Sheep.
the problem with combat gimmicks is that they like to neglect them in the future. for as much fanfare they made about Megas, they dumped it awfully quickly. but if they thought they were such a bad idea, why didn't they remove them? I don't know, but I want them to either commit or trash shit completely instead of leaving them in this weird limbo
If we do get a UK Region and the Starters are based on UK Animals - what Starters would you like to see?
They made a pig fire fighting, ox as the exact same odds as the rabbit.
I just want to have one fire starter on his fours, the Sheep is the most likely.
Fire Sheep(Fire/Ground) , Water European Polecat(Water/Poison) , Grass Rabbit(Grass/Fairy).
It's the fandom that pushes this idea that Megas are some failed gimmick because it wasn't iterated on; for all we know they could've just planned the ones they did and that's it. They are still a part of those Pokemon just like formes and still appear in wider media.
I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't any regional forms in this new game either
Seriously. A big bulky quadrupedal boar would have made an awesome Fire/Dark or Fire/Ground starter.
We never had a poison type starter besides Bulbasaur.
the issue is that'll have this vestigal organ of a mechanic that will only shrink as more pokemon be introduced. if there aren't any megas in Gen 8, then we'll probably hit 10 years of an all-but-abandoned mechanic. at that point, I have to ask what was ultimately the point? if it was something that made sense at the time, but they just gave up on it afterward, I think they should remove it
Only battle gimmick I'd like to see is an atb system where they're constantly moving around like the anime. anything else is fluff
I want a fire sheep. I think there are a lot of fun things they could do with wool and ash and smoke for the design.
Now I want to draw something up...

But they aren't abandoned. They've been in every game since their introduction, hell even Let's Go used them and they certainly didn't have to. We're talking about a series that still goes out of its way to include some area that lets you change Deoxys' forme or have vendors that give you every legendary forme-changing item no matter how redundant or old it is... like this clearly isn't something that matters to them.
The point of them was to have a cool new thing to showcase and market in the lead-up to the Gen 6 games' release. Just like the Alolan forms and Z-Moves in Gen 7.
Maybe they will dump them but I surely don't want them too. I don't see what the harm in including them is when it's basically optional post game material now like the other form-changing stuff.
I'm reposting my wishlist from 2017. Hoping for some big changes that I think most people will find positive.
Even though these might not happen I hope that the Switch hardware will allow GF to create a game that reflects the franchise's sales and popularity.

If there has to be a gimmick, I'd go for an a Persona style ally system or once more system between your two pokemon that help eachother out and provide buffs to eachother and potential buffs the more they work together, but you have to be cautious because the opponents will also have their pokemon ally between eachother as well (Except the low level grunts of the Villain Teams, they suck and don't know how to work together). Even benefits the two controller design to let two players play at once and let them balance the game around 2 players playing at once.
And yes, I am saying this just so we can make all the main game battles the superior double battle system.

At some point they will have to do a Star Wars/Monster Hunter like purge just because the whole series is bloated. What form that takes, from something as simple as removing mechanics introduced in older gens like Megas to as drastic as deleting pokemon, I don't know.
Yeah because Let's Go showed how great arbitrarily removing things is lol
I mentioned this and someone told me its likely for a Mallow Centric episode or two, and holy shit hats off to whoever that was, spot on.
There are a lot of terrific starter possibilities with something like Africa
Aardvark pokemon would be awesome.
Also a proper big elephant regular pokemon or legendary. Grass type baobab inspired pokes.
Possibilities are endless.
The number one thing I want from the next pokemon game is asynchronous trading between users. Sort of like GTS if it was between friends and not just pokemon craigslist postings all demanding legendaries for weedles. It's great to arrange trades on message boards and such, but it's a pain to for both parties to both be online at the same time to initiate the trade. I would love it if I could just say to the game "I am putting up Pokemon X to trade to Friend Y, expecting pokemon Z in return" and then close my Switch and not have to worry about it. My friend agrees to the trade at their convenience and next time I open my Switch I see the trade has been made. No waiting by my 3DS waiting for someone in another time zone to log in, hoping to catch the moment they initiate the trade, easy peasy.
I think this is more likely to be referring to the Direct in general, maybe Star Fox. I don't think it's about Pokemon.
Speaking as someone who has been with the franchise since my friend Eddie downloaded some kind of Japanese demo ROM a month before the US release of Red/Blue... and yet has never taken part in the competitive scene for largely the sorts of reasons you cited... I appreciate the willingness to push for opening the door to more players.
It's funny how in the first 2 hours of OG Sun / Moon you fight like 3 times at most. I wish the games had a "I have played a videogame before and don't need another explanation on how the Pokemon Center works" mode.
