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.

I really stopped caring for Pokemon after X and Y, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The switch games were big misses. I kinda liked Sword and Shield, but they had no lasting power on me. Scarlet and Violet are by far the worst Pokemon games to have ever come out of mainline Pokemon.

I didn't play through ~~Marcus~~ Arceus at all, even though I own it. Maybe I will give that a shot.

Isn't this what Brilliant Diamond and Pearl were supposed to be? Granted had none of the fun stuff extras that omega ruby and sapphire added, but that was still the premise, right?

3d Pokémon can be done well and beautifully. Pokémon coliseum proved that years ago

I didn't play those more than the first gym. ORAS was infinitely better.

Took me a little to realize Marcus was autocorrected Arceus. Pokémon Marcus sounds amusing.

Thank you for the laugh, I didn't catch that. Will edit my comment
