Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? (lemmings.world)

I'm talking about a new game but made with old graphics and mechanics similar to Megaman 9 & 10.

I personally think such a thing could sell gangbusters and honestly go on record as one of the greatest Pokemon games ever made, especially in recent years.

Just go play pokemon unbound. It's better than anything nintendo would come up with.

In general, Pokémon ROM hacks are cool and fans of the 2D or old game style like me should definitely give these more attention.

Yup. Fan projects and indie games can fill this niche. Pokemon is the most profitable media franchise EVER. They should be innovating and improving, not chasing nostalgia.
