Could Pokémon be better?

[The Omega Gengar]

First of all, I want to say a few things about this thread:

1. Our logic may fail.
2. We're dreaming.
3. We don't care how hard it'd be.
4. We don't care if it's useless.
5. But we wouldn't like something completely useless.
6. We'll be talking about features that could be implemented into the main games that would make them better.
7. We agree Digimon sucks. (jk)

Ok. I will contain all the ideas I consider reasonable in a spoiler with a brief explanation.

Spoiler: Ideas

• A real story: Pokémon needs to stop their cliche story with trainers getting 8 badges, becoming champions, going through a forest, saving the world from the evil team and blah. They could even keep the same basics, as long as they at least gave us some kind of story, like in Gen V. There's no excuse that the game is for kids, as many teens and adults play it, and even then, what's the problem?
• Multiple save files: It's a joke we don't have this already. Title explains it all.
• Character customisation: XY had it. It was close to perfect. The main reason behind this one is so that you can live your own adventure. It's also completely viable for battling your friends and not being the same person.
• Pokémon size variation: Size variation is something we have in animals, so why not? This wouldn't affect stat/battle conditions, or it would break the game. It's also good for variation, making Pokémon even more unique.
• Good online features: It'd be good to have some kind of place for trainers to meet online, chat and battle/trade. Maybe you could get connected to some big place like Entralink with a limited amount of people. There's not much to say about this.
• EV/IV tracking: It's stupid, just show those numbers already. What's the big deal? I'd be fine with the Super-Training kind of tracking, as it's decent enough.
• Improved HMs: Or remove then, turning them into simple moves. "Just have a HM-slave..." No, that's terrible in any sense. I'd be fine with tools like they did in the Pokémon Ash Gray rom-hack (Hatchets cut small trees) or just having a Pokémon that can do the work for you handle it without needing to have the move.
• Difficulty selection: Being able to choose something like Easy, Normal and Hard (Maybe even Super-Hard). They've done it before, in B2W2, throught that weird key system.
• Make fly like soaring in ORAS: The first time I played Pokémon, I was expecting Fly to work like that. I was amazed when I got the HM...and then...yeah, it just flew me to a city I'd choose. Fly could make it so that clouds would block you (?) to prevent you from going places you can't fly to.
• Keep secret bases or customisable houses: This is something that is extremely convenient to group with friends and stuff.
• Riding Pokémon: Like Ride replaces bike for P3D. Of course, without actually requiring HMs, or it would conflict with other of my ideas.
• A real Pokémon League: I mean, like in the anime. You'd have to fight a couple of trainers in a league of 64 trainers, shaped kinda like a Soccer World Cup and then if you win, you'd be able to challenge the Elite 4 and the Champion.
• Pokémon follow you outside of their balls: HGSS and GS had it, even Yellow had the Pikachu. It's not really asking for much and it'd be awesome with 3D models.
• Proper explanation of the Pokémon Mythology: They always add some kind of new polarization with new legendaries: "So yeah, the new legendaries created land and water; time and space; blah." Gen IV had a reasonable explanation to creation and all, but it'd be good to know more about how things work and were created. It's kinda optional. (We don't know exactly how our universe was created, do we?).
• Pokéathlon/Pokémon races: The return of the Pokéathlon would be a good idea. Making use of the move Ride for Pokémon races would also be a nice feature. Imagine races that you can complete to get prizes and maybe even race your friends.
• Bring Casinos back with Pinball: Casinos were a nice way to get TMs and other prizes, so they could return, also with a new Pinball game like the old Pokémon Pinball.
• Keep Pokémon Contests: Keeping Pokémon Contests in the next games like they were in ORAS. Some people really enjoy playing them. Maybe even a special mode to get 5 ribbons and enter the Grand Festival.
• Reserved.

My own ideas have been added there and I'll be constantly adding more ideas. I'm doing this mostly as a research, as I want to hear ideas.
Please keep respect and no "me wnat gurls with big bewbs lol funy".

Thinking about it...you could suggest that, as long as it was in the proper way.

So, I'm expecting that I get your opinions to expand on this, please.
Have fun, I guess?!

The Casino in Celadon City I was thinking instead of cards ond slots, there should be pinball in it as a sort of easter egg or reference for pokemon pinball, and also make more use of the move ride by having a game where your pokemon race eachother around a track much like in Final Fantasy with chocobo racing.
