What if: Pokemon gets rebooted.

So lets say Pokemon gets a reboot. Clear out all the kinks, get rid of useless stuff, streamline some things, add some QOL additions.

The rules are though:

-We go back to a 1st gen. It will be Kanto, but reimagined.

-Game contains the main species from the original game, but updated. Some Pokemon like Jynx get an evo. Pokemon that had future evos may have them, or even different ones.

-Types can be changed to make more sense. Steel type for example, can be ch aged to mech or even man-made. Types can get buffs or nerfs.

-Poke on can have unique traits to them. Some can be physical, like different fur patterns, abnormalities, etc. This makes trading more enticing. For example, maybe you get a Pikachu with notched ears, or a Squirtle with triangular patterns on the shell.

-Gyms can be changed. Different leaders, different teams, etc.

-Story can be whatever, but honestly, Pokemon is at its best when it shuts up and just lets you figure things out.

Id honestly be down for this. Pokemon is a huge mess now. I would definitely be ok with a reboot. Clean up the roster, fill in some evolutions, make middle-evos more relevant, etc.

They could do this for each gen, and then we could actually have a nicer series.

If we get a reboot, it should start at gen 2/ Johto, since Kanto is kinda basic.

Reboot would let Kanto be remade into something more interesting.

This isnt a straight remake, it is the chance to fix everything bad about pokemon

Id rather pokemon dies than be rebooted.

Even reimagined I rather not go back to Kanto for a fourth-ish (If you don't count going back to Kanto in the Johto games)...

They should be just doing this already... I'm surprised Jynx hasn't gotten a new evo or new form...

Changing Steel to "Man-Made" or "Mech" doesn't help it make more sense... Since really the closest Steel-Type we have to being man-made is Genesect...

While easier than ever, shiny hunting can still be a chore... We don't need more variants to look out for... We have Vivillon already...

I don't see the point of a reboot...
