Mega Audino's Healer is a complete joke, if it had to retain one its original abilities at least Regenerator would have given it a niche as the only Fairy type with the ability. Fur Coat would have been another option that could have compensated for its lower stats relative to other megas, and...

Poison/Ground is a really cool typing with a lot of unique advantages that hasn't been explored since the Nidos. They've pretty much got the special side of things covered, so I could see a physically offensive or support oriented defensive Poison/Ground carving a niche out for itself with...

I used Claydol and Sandslash on a lot of my early RU competitive teams, because the "two-for-one deal" of being both a spinner and a hazard setter looks really appealing on paper. In practice they can't perform either task effectively, and ended up dead weight most of the time.

Yes, that would mean Mega Evolution would not exist. Yet. And there you already have the possibility for events occurring within the story to allow it to happen for the first time. The player character could even be the one who discovers it. To me that's far more interesting than the whole "go...

I think an interesting direction for Z to take that isn't the standard redux or another set of sequels, would be a take on XY's story in a completely different alternate universe, since Game Freak seems to be all about that kind of thing now. The most obvious change would be an alternate reality...

Chesnaught. No other Pokemon absolutely nails the perfect combination of tough and adorable the way Chesnaught does. Between that and its cool typing and varied movepool, I just can't fault it.

Malamar

It's also not a coincidence that those are three of the four most popular child characters as voted by the official poll (Lucina is the fourth, and she's available as an amiibo).

Personally I'd like to see Ice resist Water, usually when Ice and Water exist as separate elements they form a cross-counter, considering those elements usually exist in equilibrium. If Freeze Dry was given a wider distribution, then that would give Ice types a niche as Water type killers that...

The shota mage is a pretty standard archetype, particularly in later entries (we have Lugh, Ewan, Tormod and Ricken already). Though Tsukuyomi does look a little too much like Ricken for my liking, who was already something of a Tormod rip-off to begin with. Just please don't give him a height...

-Pokemon are not necessarily native to the regions they first appear in. For example Eevee is native to Kalos where it is actually found in the wild, and those found in other parts of the world were introduced or bred there. - The Pokemon World has a whole bunch of customs and old wive's tales...

The weapon bonuses mean that there are now advantages to using weaker weapons other than accuracy again, which is cool. I'm not too thrilled about the position of Bows in the revised triangle, a big advantage of them before was existing outside the triangle which allowed them to deal consistent...

Larger teams and better movesets for the Gym Leaders/E4. Each Gym Leader should have at least three Pokemon, those after the fourth badge should have at least four, and Elite Four at least five. Also they really need to fix the frame-rate drop that happens during horde battles and the split...

I'm not sure that the existence of weapons that are hard to hit twice with means weapon weight is returning, it could just be a weapon that requires a greater speed difference to double with. Granted it would be a good way to balance weapons in the absence of durability, but given the trend...

Aurorus has a terrible defensive typing that makes it weak to common attacking types, including two nasty 4x weaknesses to Fighting and Steel. That said, it has some niche popularity in NU and even RU as a wallbreaker as Refrigerate Hyper Voice hits extremely hard, especially with Choice Specs...
