Discussion should Game Freak, focus on making a game that is inovative and fun, or another nostalgia bait? What would be something new and fun to you guys?

We have seen new spin-offs and Legends: Arceus, so I’d say they’ve tried a fair number of innovations. Continuing to find fresh takes on the core series games rather than just repeating the Legends formula would be cool though.
Of course, a lot of Pokémon’s spinoffs have been based on existing games or genres, so perhaps innovation isn’t the right word for all of them. At the same time, this introduces people like me who are more Pokémon super fans than video game super fans to genres we wouldn’t otherwise have played.
I’m personally thankful Pokémon gave the Mystery Dungeon series a chance, as Explorers of Darkness has been one of my favorite games in the franchise, up there with Legends: Arceus.
As for things Pokémon could try that others haven’t, that’s a little more difficult to answer.

Of course, it's a good idea to do nostalgia bait because it will for sure be something successful and with good ratings. But I think that it's better to take a risk and create something new. With such technologies, the game can be even better than the previous ones. Now, I'm more into exploring new games, genres and so on. Some time ago, I became interested in esports, and it turned out to be very interesting. I've even placed a bet once, but I need to have more experience. A friend of mine sent me this article https://dashfight.com/news/esports-betting-how-to-bet-on-fighting-game-tournaments-like-a-pro-7102 which was very useful for me, and there I read how to bet on fighting game like a professional, and it's something I've done before. But with such knowledge, it now seems less complicated. So yes, I'm fully into the idea of trying to create something new.

I agree with you.
I'm always excited to try something new and interesting

I think they should try to come up with new things. Gamefreak should have tried to make battles like they are in the show. The new battle structure in Z-A seems kind of disappointing, but at least they tried.
 
As for me, the Pokémon series has long balanced innovation with nostalgia, a strategy that has both captivated and divided its fanbase. While titles like Pokémon Legends: Arceus have introduced fresh gameplay mechanics, some players feel that the core series remains tethered to familiar formulas.
