    When are they going to let the rest of the world have legit shinies of the XY Legendaries.

    I want Bacon Yvetal...just cause.

    Froakie.

    Greninja is the coolest starter in decades.

    ... and Flygon.

    Ok honestly tho I would love to see a mega Braviary. One of my favorite flying types :D 

    yayaya I want customization to come back. It was really fun to use and allowed for a lot of expression.

    Things that I want to see in Sun n Moon:

    - Nonbinary trainer
    - dArK gYm PLEAAAAAASSSEE
    - More eeveeloutions
    - Mega Solrock and Lunatone
    - and maybe some Megas for Cresselia and Darkrai too
    - Nonbinary trainer
    - Make Pokerus more common
    - Perhaps we could have more than one disease? Perhaps some that decrease one of the 4 stats? Or make the Pokemon really hungry in Amie? Even rare STDs that can be caught in the Pokemon Daycare? Outbreaks of diseases in certian areas of the region? Just to spice things up
    - Nonbinary trainer
    - please for the love of arceus can we not have a Fire-Fighting starter we had 3 in a row already gAME FREAK PLEASE
    - If the region is based off Hawaii, i don't want it to just be a copy of Hoenn.
    - Make the 'mons cuter in Amie. Including all the legendaries. It doesn't have the squee factor it needs
    - ...ok maybe not the genies but at least make their Therian formes cute
    - i wANT A NONBINARY TRAINER SO BAD. YOU HAVE N O IDEA. We are already underrepresented in media, and Game Freak turning that around would make me so happy. Having the ability to be gender neutral would be the best thing ever. NPCs would ask you what your gender is and you could say something like "I'm an battler" or whatever. aND BEING ABLE TO KICK THE ASSES OF SOME DISRESPECTFUL NPCs WOULD BE SO SATISFYING. You would be able to choose your pronouns at the beginning of the game, and you could change them halfway through your run. Same with gender. Say you are female when you start out, but towards the end of your run you feel like you're a boy inside. Bam, transgender. You could buy things like binders to change your physical appearance, as well as buy clothes that are targeted at other genders. yOU COULD WEAR PRIDE FLAGS (or their colours if that's your jam.) there are so many things I want represented and i juST *YELLS*

    ok ramble over

    I am against polluting the game with more megas so if it is going to be more megas it better fitting to the the story/environment. (For example if the game is in Sinnoh you can give Gastodon and Pachirisu a mega)

    I feel like mega evolution should go to fan favorites (charizard) or Pokemon that need a major stat boost (beedrill).

    So I'm with a lot of people and we need a mega flygon. It also seems solrock and lunatone need a mega just because it fits the games names.

    I'm kind of disappointed that we will never see a crazy Gyarados evolution because of this Mega Evolution thing, so one of the first things on my list is third/second forms for some Pokémon that do not have them.

    Still want more Megas, maybe even ones for the generation's starters?

    Speaking of starters, cute starters who evolve into co cool looking Pokémon. Overall effectiveness in-game would also be paramount.

    I want to see a cool wolf Legendary. Maybe black, blue and white/grey? A good type as well, like dark/fairy or something.

    Another pair of nicely designed, useful fossil Pokémon.

    I want to see the return of customizing trainers. It was a very fun experience doing so. I'd like a wider variety of options. One thing I liked was taking pictures of me on my journey. Wouldn't mind having that back again.

    Keep Pokémon Amie and even enhance it. Get rid of that weird hitting thing.

    The new Exp. Share to stay as it is. I've gotten way too used to it.

    Along with trainer customization, and the new Exp. Share along with the Lucky Egg being given at some point during the events of the game, I would like to see being given a choice on what starter Pokemon you want from a previous generation within the game itself again shortly after your second or third Gym badge again. Still sucks about X and Y not getting third version or even a sequel pair like they did for Black and White though.

    I'm crossing my fingers for a Triceratops Pokémon and the cover for Moon is a Werewolf like Pokémon.

    I can't really think of anything off the top of my head at the moment, I'd like more trainer customization since I enjoy that kind of thing. More Mega forms would be nice too.

    If I think of a proper "Wish list" I'll post it.

    Just a random thought I had while fiddling around in Pokemon-Amie, I'm curious why they'd give players the option to hit their Pokemon. Is it supposed to be a discipline thing?

    Just got my first shiny in what seems like forever. Horde encounter in ORAS yielded a shiny female Sandshrew that has since been dubbed "Honeydew".

    Not as grand as some shinies but I'll take it seeing as Sandshrew is one of my favorites.

    Oh where to begin.

    -Dark type gym leader
    -More actual evolutions instead of Mega Evolutions
    -Also more Mega Evolutions
    -A variety of new Pokemon based on animals fans have been asking for.
    -New types of pokeballs
    -New type combinations
    -More dual type attacks like Flying Press.
    -Removal of the EXP share
    -Expanded trainer customization
    -A challenging Elite 4
    -Better pacing than X and Y
    -Fossils. Fossils, fossils, fossils, fossils, fossils.
    -An intimidating rival. More Blue and Silver, less Barry and Serena.
    -Pokemon following you again (long shot but still)

    A timed mega evolution - after so much rounds, they devolve back.

    more Charizard/Mewtwo type mega evolutions - Male and female having different looks.

    Aron/Lairon/Aggron and Shieldon/Bastiodon.

    Poochyena/Mightyena.

    Heck no! The old EXP system is tedious and an absolute chore. Rather, they should have an option where you can use the older style of EXP share if you wanted to.

    All of this is gold, no objections.

    It's called the 'Off Button'. But my smartarse remark aside, I think what would be better would be more zones to level Pokemon OR a dynamic system of wild and trainer encounters appropriate to your party level so you could literally start with a new set at level 5 and work your way through the wild battles and occasional repeat trainers to get a whole new slew of dudes up to par.

    Yes to all that :thumb 

    I got an idea for this too; instead of just swanning up Victory Road, the game should take a queue from the show for a change and make you battle through qualifiers of randomly generated trainers without a 'theme': just 6 at random Pokemon

    Also once you become Champion, you should have to face say, 5 trainers every fortnight or so else you forfeit your title and have to re-qualify.

    Needn't be in real time, or anything but you get the gist.

    I can take or leave fossil Pokemon, most of them are pretty rubbish anyway. That said, you should be able to get all of them in a single game - even if the others come in post-Elite 4 content.

    Blue and Silver weren't intimidating; they were obnoxious douche-balloons who were brought down by their hubris and tunnel vision. They had character, no doubt about that, but not intimidating.

    Truth be told I want more guys like Wally who you meet occasionally as your paths criss-cross on a similar journey but is not tied to you directly.

    All my fucks yes!

    I guess I should rephrase that bullet point then. And yeah there is the off button, my bad. XD

    I'd like it if the current Exp-share was a post-game item. You get the Exp Share early on but it acts like the older one did, you select just one Pokemon in your team to get the benefits but it gets the same amount of exp as it would if it were in the battle. Then during the post game the Exp-share gets upgraded to work for your entire team, letting you train up more Pokemon faster than before.

    But that's just me. ^^"

    Or something where the game adjust's the Elite 4's levels based on what your team's highest level pokemon is. Past a certain point that is, the base level of their teams could be 50, but if you're team is around say the level 70 mark the game adjusts their levels around the 65-70 mark.

    Would be useful for training post-game as well, always having opponents with Pokemon around your level to battle.

    I'm just a big fan of the fossil Pokemon that get added to the games; plus there are still a ton of extinct animals that would make great looking Pokemon.

    Maybe it's just me but the last Elite 4 line up in X and Y was pretty easy to go through, both from their teams and because when using the Exp Share you were usually incredibly over leveled. I'd like to see that experience when battling Cynthia again, a tough battle that left you satisfied when you actually won.

    I kinda miss the jerky rivals though, made me actually want to beat them when I ran into them during the game.

    Though I agree with your point about Wally, it was a great addition to the game to see someone other than your primary Rival meet up with you and see him get stronger over time.

    Only if they make Yanmega a Bug/Dragon type when it Mega Evolves. :D
