gamefreak has begun developing a core
RPG Pokemon title on Nintendo switch if
done right this game has a chance to be
the very best ow welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
things we want to see in the upcoming
Pokemon game for Nintendo switch before
we begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re taking a
look at features that we want to see in
the Pokemon role-playing game set to be
released for the Nintendo switch number
10 customisable characters
[Music]
the early Pokemon games typically
revolved around an ash Ketcham clone
leaving no room for character
customization in Pokemon crystal we
finally got the choice between playing
as a male or female character Pokemon
X&Y further evolves trainer
customization allowing us to not only
select our characters gender but their
hair color and skin tone as well we can
also tailor their appearance by
obtaining new outfits and accessories
even then however avatar customization
remains limited especially compared to
other RPG franchises the Pokemon game
for the switch could take customization
to another level with detailed facial
features a diverse wardrobe and of
course an assortment of backpacks giving
our journey a more personal touch
[Music]
number nine every Pokemon remember where
there were just 151 Pokemon well the
total number has since skyrocketed to
802 and that’s not even counting mega
evolutions and aloha forms in other
words if you really want to catch them
all be prepared to play through several
games spread across various consoles for
years fans have always wanted one game
that let us capture every single Pokemon
from Bulbasaur to marsh shadow since
Pokemon force which has the potential to
be the franchise’s biggest most
ambitious outing ever it’s a golden
opportunity to bring the whole gang
together while they’re at it ging Creek
could also throw in a couple of new
Pokemon and have a complete pokerap play
over the end credits please PLEASE
pokerap bring it back number eight a
game that’s tailor-made for the switch

let’s get one thing straight if you’re
gonna make a Pokemon game for the
Nintendo switch let’s make a Pokemon
game for Nintendo switch the last thing
we want is a Pokemon that looks like a
3ds game that’s been lazily ported to
the switch especially since those two
consoles have significant differences as
far as processing power is concerned
sure both function is portable devices
but this game needs to take the switches
controls graphical capabilities and
hybrid features into consideration
immersing us in the pokemon world
whether we’re playing on the go or on
the big screen at home and may not
release her more than a year but we hope
you’ll look forward to it all the same
number seven a pokemon snap feature
pokemon snap was one of the most unique
games on the n64 letting us capture
Pikachu Charizard and others not in a
pokeball but on film while we’ve never
gotten an official sequel the
photography element has been revisited
with a AR mode in Pokemon go and the
pokey finder in Pokemon Sun and Moon now
just imagine if the developers applied a
camera into an open world Pokemon game
this feature would not only make leeway
for some fun side quests but also allow
you to immortalize priceless moments
from your Pokemon adventure number 6 a
better more expansive story the main
Pokemon games have always followed a
familiar plot get your first Pokemon
from a guy named after a tree collect
every gym badge become a Pokemon master
and maybe save the world if there’s
still time okay
Sun and Moon did alter that gym badge
part but the rest was still very similar
Pokemon Force which could offer a more
gripping and layered story if it took a
couple of chances with this formula for
example why not tackle some of the
mature topics that the series often
chooses to neglect you know like
cockfighting and animal cruelty that’s
tough
a wider variety of side missions would
also probably keep players engaged long
after the main quest was over
[Music]
number five traveling to other regions
gold silver and crystal are almost
universally considered to be the
greatest Pokemon installments ever
that’s largely because this second
generation of games included multiple
regions meeting more badges to obtain
more Pokemon – catch and more challenges
to overcome for some reason though the
subsequent games have all kept
themselves limited to one region
excluding the remakes pokémon HeartGold
and SoulSilver
hopefully this idea will make a comeback
in Pokemon for the switch allowing us to
travel to at least a couple of the
previously introduced regions of course
sitted also be great to explore brand
new regions with exclusive Pokemon so
there’s that too
got a number for a Nuzlocke difficulty
mode
[Music]
a common complaint with many Pokemon
games is that they lack a certain
something for players in search of a
challenge
granted pokemon black 2 and white 2 made
an effort to up the ante with a key
system turning off XP share can also
technically increase the difficulty to
hardcore Pokemon masters however prefer
to follow the man-made Nuzlocke
challenge which offers a set of rules to
make matters a little more interesting
for example players have to release
their Pokemon if it faints and can only
capture the first Pokemon they encounter
in each area also if you’re gonna
include this mode make sure to include
incentives for undertaking the challenge
like having Pokemon to be exclusive to
only that mode don’t just make it
difficult just to be difficult you know
don’t worry I’ll just tell all the other
Pokemon that you’re on a trip and you’ll
come back someday maybe number 3 soft
online interaction with other players
you need a bread to trade interaction
with other trainers has been a core part
of the series since the very beginning
though at the same time other games have
offered unique ways of interacting with
other players without having to be
online at the same time take Dark Souls
for example which allows you to leave
hints for other players or near automata
which allows you to recruit other
players avatars as NPC allies you see
where we’re going with this we’d like to
have an opportunity to meet other
players in NPC form and battle them
it’d be a great way to retain the
illusion of online interaction when
you’re playing the switch on the go or
away from your internet connection
meanwhile I’ll stand watch for the giant
Pokemon to appear at my lighthouse again
number 2 complete the gyms and
challenges in any order
[Music]
another problem that fans have with
Pokemon games is their relentless
hand-holding after nearly two decades we
really don’t need any more lengthy
tutorials just throw players in at the
Pokemon world and let them go speaking
of freedom it’s about high time that
game brief ditched the linear narrative
instead of visiting each gym in a fixed
order how about letting us complete them
in any order we want forget about that
ash this change worked out wonderfully
in breath of the wild which gave players
the Liberty to explore shrines towers
and divine beasts at their own pace so
gym leaders could also level up at the
same pace as the player making each
Pokemon battle a fair fight
and there’ll be somebody there to tell
us where we are before we get to our
topic here are a few honorable mentions
its name is Pikachu oh it’s so cute it’s
the best of all number one a vast open
world with Pokemon
[Music]
we know we just brought up Zelda breath
of the wild but right now it’s the gold
standard for adapting a franchise to the
switch you are a legend as well if Game
Freak is going to deliver an awesome
Pokemon title for the switch though
using Hyrule as a reference point is a
great start
breath of the wild created such a grand
large-scale open-world that it
practically felt alive and this upcoming
Pokemon game deserves similar treatment
above all else the pokemon in this game
need to be immersed in their environment
we want to see them interact with other
Pokemon and respond to the player in a
natural way this would make for a truly
engaging experience transporting us to
the Pokemon world like never before
