8. Include ALL Pokemon

Short of having every country present and accounted for within a single game world, Game Freak pulling this one off is going to be a tough ask.

As of writing, there are 802 - let that sink in for just a second - Pokémon out there doing their damndest to evade the ball-throwing arm of aspiring Trainers - imagine the logistical nightmare of attempting to cram every last one into a playable space the size of, say, Kanto.

But then, why not include the regions of every Gen in a single game? By today's standards, the Game Boy Color's storage capacity is comically minute, yet Gold & Silver managed to squeeze Red & Blue's Kanto in to fit alongside Johto.

Granted, five real world-inspired landmasses have been introduced to the series since then, but it's fair to say that technology's come a long way since the late 90s.
