Plus, lots of games retain the same style yet no one complains about that.
In fact, remember how people bashed Legend of Zelda 2 for being different from the usual top down style? (Even though Nintendo hadn't found a staple style yet, but people love to ignore details like that...)
Some of your ideas aren't too bad but it'll kinda break things. For instance, Gym Order. Lots of games have bosses that you have to battle in order. I don't see how that's a problem in any way. Games like Mega Man and Prinny do allow you to pick any order of bosses, but there are more games that do otherwise.
