I mean, it just kinda sounds like you want Monster Hunter then (or maybe MH: Stories given it's a turn based team RPG ala Pokemon).
I just want Pokemon to actually do more of its early premise of humans and animals working together in community. I would love a team-based mon game, but I really just want to see Pokemon answer and explore the philosophical questions present in the series.
Don't think gamefreak is capable of that tbh. The last time they attempted to do that was gen 5, and unlike most pokemon fans I think its writing was really bad. They shove team plasma being cartoonishly/one-sidedly/comically eviilllllllll into your face after they're barely introduced, N just comes across as incompetent and ignorant in light of team plasma's incredibly obvious/open eviiiiilllll and hypocrisy, and IMO none of the issues raised were actually addressed by the end of the unova games (nothing genuinely changes and basically everything returns to the status quo at the end of it all)
I was really hoping to find a mod that recognized that N/plasma were completely right and that you as the player should join them. alas, no such mod exists.
