I hope they bring back the gyms.
they already said there will be gyms...
i hope theres a good story. i hope thats its memorable as well (did usum have the same story as sm??)
yes, the story of usum, was exactly the same as sm.
I have three hopes:
- The story progression is a bit more open-ended/less linear (think Unova regions basically going in a circle for Gyms). I want to backtrack a little, man!
- DARK. TYPE. GYM.
- A new Eeveelution (or two), preferably Poison type and/or Dragon-type.
-than back track... you can do that in unova, plenty of stuff you couldn't get to.
-dark type gym wont happen due to the dark type being pretty op ( and yes the dragon type is also a bit op, but the dark type has always been deemed to powerful to be in a gym )
-there can be eevee evolutions but don't hope for it.
I have three high hopes.
1: There to be more than 80 new Pokemon and go back to how it was before. 100+ new Pokemon.
2: A better exploration and make it where you don't forget to explore optional areas.
3: Mega Evolutions to return.
1: this could be a possibility unless they introduce either more mega evolutions and have those count as ''new'' pokemon
or they introduce an new mechanic that is similar and have that count as ''new'' pokemon.
2: you forgetting to explore is all on you buddy...
3: they will.
Echoing what others have already said, but that reminds me that it would be nice if in addition to there being 100+ new Pokemon, some of them are new evolutions and/or pre-evolutions for older Pokemon. The last time we’ve had new evolutions for older Pokemon was in generation four. Yep. Gens five, six, and seven all released new Pokemon that were interesting, and even introduced the concept of “Alolan forms,” but the last time we had older Pokemon receiving new evolutions and/or pre-evolutions was a long time ago. Also, please make them look good and have good battle capabilities, Gamefreak. There will have been two years passed since the last Pokemon mainline games were released, so there’s no excuse for not having at least 100+ new Pokemon. The new evolutions and/or pre-evolutions for older Pokemon would be a nice bonus as well.
EDIT: Just remembered thanks to xSuperMario64x that the obvious exception to this is Sylveon. However, that’s only one. How about around 10-20 new evolutions and/or pre-evolutions for older Pokemon in gen 8? That sounds like a good number
no body wants unnecicary evolutions to older pokemon.
besides most pokemon that got a mega evolution should've gotten a regular evolution.
and some pokemon such as tauros, skarmory, and druddigon really don't need evolutions.
or else we'll end up with only 3 stage evoution lines, and no 2 stage or stand alone pokemon, and i like that there are 2 stage evolution lines and stand alones.
plus you remember the item eviolite right ?
there will be pokemon that will become nearly unbeatable...
and that'snot fun at all... ( to fight against
)

and now what i want
i just want to have a really interesting story like black and white had.
it was interesting to see that they tried to make you think of training pokemon is a bad thing.
i liked that a lot about gen 5, and black2/white2 had also a very interesting story, and i liked how everything looked.
i want that idea ''recaptured'' with a great story from b/w and the esthetics of b2/w2.
b2/w2 were so beautiful and i liked how they could fit all the little nooks and crannies is such small region, i like how it made you remember where you could *use HM* when you got *said HM* and back tracked and saw this whole area of rout 1 that you never got to see the first time around.
i do want HM moves to come back but have them be removable without the use of a move deleter.
some of the HM's such as surf, strength and waterfall are even quite powerful, so i'd hate so see them go like they tried to do in gen 7.
i want stealth rock to be a TM again...
i DON'T want to see those stupid Z-crystals make a return to gen 8, instead i want the type-gems to make a return.
the Z-crystals are just cheap... sure newer player might like them because they finally get to take 1 pokemon down from a relatively good player, but us good players don't like these for their cheapness.
the type-gems from gen 5 were pretty cool, and even though they were programmed into gen 6 you could only get the normal gem, and i'd like to see the rest return as well.
furthermore i just want to see this game be hard again.
like red blue yellow gold silver crystal platinum and black2/white2( challenge mode ) were.
or at least give us the option in the beginning.
''are you a new player or an experienced player?''
new player will get those stupid nonsense tutorial, and the ''teleportation'' to where they need to go.
experienced players will get none of that, and you just have to remember here stuff was, and find your own way.
( like they did in gen 5 and prior )
