This is interesting. I personally doubt that they will make an expansion. I honestly think that DLC will be a thing. Nintendo is getting into it and GF can totally rewrite their X/Y programs to expand the game. I recall on route 22 (maybe?) there is an area beyond that resembles a ryhorn race track but you aren't able to reach it.
I know that GF claimed not to go down the DLC raod, but Sakuria said the same for Smash Bros and look at where we are now.
Generation 7 of pokemon is going to be interesting. Pokemon Bank has greatly influenced the Pokemon games. You have access to all your strong pokemon in the very beginning. That would kill the story and what would be the point to play another Pokemon game?
Pokemon is about battles and competition. Honestly, Pokemon needs to blend itself to something that is similar to smash bros. They both are "fighting" games. But one has an RPG element to it.
When I say blend, I mean that Pokemon should pick some things from what Smash bros does. It's about competition. The main menu of Pokemon should have something as follows:
- Adventure Mode
- Competition Mode
- Battle Grounds
Adventure Mode: would be what we know already, it's the games story mode. You can capture more pokemon and train them there
Competition Mode: should be just that. You have full access to all your Boxes and Bag items and Pokemon (within the game). You select and make teams to use to battle with. This can be local and online. Your Battle Card will save your progress. You battle people online for the Ranking and Non-Ranked. Tournaments will be held and other things.
Battle Grounds: It would be a battle frontier, battle chateau, pokemon world tournament, etc. This is mostly local play/wireless, but rankings are uploaded and downloaded via the internet. This is where you obtain Battle Points.
This would gear the game to all players.
