I want a Pokemon game for adults (don't even mention P*lw*rld) that features an adult MC that like, skipped out on the whole "pokemon journey" thing as a kid but has realized they hate their job, don't like where they are in life, and that they actually DO want that Pokemon adventure actually!

It's a fresh start, and sure, there's a bunch of kids around, but kids bring a fresh perspective that's actually kinda nice, and the MC can impart wisdom to the kids when they have interpersonal conflicts and such. They get to be a mentor in some respects, but also get to learn from the kids as well.

It would also make sense if MC comes with one or two Pokemon already - maybe one related to their job, maybe one they got as a kid but never really did a lot of training with (so it starts at a higher level but could get quickly outpaced if you don't work on leveling it).

That's the kind of thing THIS adult really wants out of a Pokemon game "for adults".

#listen i've been watching horizons and all the adults on the team are great #friede's whole thing is a great outline for what being an adult while adventuring would be like #i would love a game based on horizons but also with at least one blank slate MC to make into me or an OC #idk if I'd want pre-designed companions or not bc both are valid options #but also a social link type system with the companions could be really cool #also if you could eventually get an airship like in horizons but you have to buy and/or maintain it #ALSO LISTEN horizons has great use of pokemon in a way that makes sense in the world #i'm still not over how happy that slugma is to just be burning coal
