If gamefreak put you in charge of making the next game outside of the “Pokemon __ version” Gym-Badge seeking titles… what kind of game would you make?

People ask me this periodically.  I always wonder what sort of answer they’re expecting.  I mean, you do realise you’re talking to a guy who will spend three days writing a 2000-word essay on what Pokémon gender actually means?  Asking me “how would you do the next Pokémon game?” is liable to produce a small book.

I have been meaning to do this, though.  For quite some time, in fact.  I keep coming across other things that I want to do first but, damnit, enough!  It’s next on my list!  Just as soon as I finish narrating my journey through White 2.  I suppose with the oncoming release of X and Y, the topic is rather apropos, if nothing else.
