tbh I don't believe Gen V will be a very long one. The DS is over, at least for major titles. I'm pretty sure Nintendo's not gonna remake R/S/E for the DS at this point in the DS' life.
Now that leaves me wondering about Gen VI. I didn't think B/W did a good enough job rebooting the series. I mean, we could still move earlier Pokemon over (which isn't necessarily a bad thing for veterans), we could find most of the older Pokemon in swarms and shit (which i personally didn't like), and what really pissed me off was the stupid mini game-oriented dreamworld. I loathe break out, but when I played through it and found out the sphere gimmick and how I had to carefully plan out how to get Espeon I was especially livid.
So here's what I'd like to see in Gen VI (it's never gonna happen but I can dream~):
- 3D graphics for everything. As much as I like the sprites this would look better on the 3DS and would be more efficient (overworld and battle could be the same model)
- A new game in a new region taking place during Gen I/III chronologically instead of after Gen V. Route numbering starts after Johto's and there's a Battle Frontier that you can sail to but doesn't appear on the world map. Instead it takes a cue from the Entralink and combines B/W's online and multiplayer with the Battle Frontier. So it's sorta like an MMO.
- Free DLC instead of pre-loaded events. Something that Serebii.net won't hack and reveal months before the game hits America. Also keeps the games fresh and prevents the remake cycle from repeating too much, like adding the next bunch of Pokemon from Gen VII whenever that comes out.
- A rehash of Red and Green 1-2 years after the Gen VI launch title, but not another remake. Work heavily on the plot, add some secrets, don't try to cram in Johto Pokemon like FR/LG did, change everything. Sevii Islands can stay, but they'd need a major reconstruction along with the mainland. Kanto was supposed to be high-tech, why not actually make it high-tech? Kanto can be interesting again if done right. Also add the online Battle Frontier, it'd be cool
- Chronologically speaking, the next game is Ruby and Sapphire. Do the same thing with them, change the game to fit the new Gen I. Take elements from Emerald like HG/SS did with Crystal.
also i'm getting bored of typing but I think you get what i'm saying, restart Pokemon, make it better, etc
