Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? (lemmings.world)

I'm talking about a new game but made with old graphics and mechanics similar to Megaman 9 & 10.

I personally think such a thing could sell gangbusters and honestly go on record as one of the greatest Pokemon games ever made, especially in recent years.

If it means a return to random encounters, no absolutely not. There's a reason I don't go back and replay the older games even though I have fond memories of them. That reason is largely Zubat. Fuck you Zubat.

But also, aside from a handful of bugs and performance problems Scarlet/Violet and Legends: Arceus are the best the franchise has ever been. I'd rather they refine what they're already doing and keep making things better rather then regress purely to appease someone's misguided nostalgia.
