In DragonQuest Builders, survival was a key element that was removed to create gameplay closer to Animal Crossing…
I find that it lacks challenge (like you can find in other games of this genre such as Minecraft or Dragon Quest Builders).
and think it's a shame they removed this essential element from Pokémon, and I've been thinking about what it could look like instead.
I would have imagined a simplified battle mode, where you only play as Ditto, who can change the form of Pokémon you've already befriended… (so you have to play much more with types because your HP remains the same despite switching)
and add a "talk" system like in Undertale to be able to befriend Pokémon without fighting
