This might fall inside the lines of “future game” business that you’ve mentioned and everyone’s been asking… but each generation has introduced lots of “new.” For this questions, I want to ask about new moves… Are there any new moves you’d like to see and explore with? I mean in a thematic perspective, like how adding team battles added team moves and such.

Well, I’m sure there’s room to keep adding more and weirder effects, though I’m not really very interested in that.  I’ve always been rather taken with the idea of signature moves, myself; that’s something I’d like to see more of.  A move that’s unique to a single Pokémon means it will always have something to offer that can’t be usurped, and it also emphasises that Pokémon’s particular powers.  Better chances to be awesome, combined with a closer meshing of flavour and game mechanics – that’s win-win as far as I’m concerned.  I think a lot of Pokémon could benefit from this sort of thing, but especially ones with very unusual skills, like Kecleon (who would be so much more relevant if he had an attack that changed type with him).  Worth special mention is Delibird, who has a signature move which only makes him weaker…
