...ever tried Animal Crossing?
Or is it specifically something with actual Pokemon you're after?

Yeah, it would need to be Pokemon. The regular games just don't work for me that well, anymore, and I'd like it to focus on stuff that I find more interesting. Also, nostalgia.
I sometimes want to play one of these games, but mainly to collect them all, which was always what interested me more than the other stuff, like anything that has to do with getting the ones with the best values, or even training them. And the way these games work, there would be way too much grinding involved, even for a single generation. There are hacks with all the pokemon, but I once tried that, and again, just tons of grinding - I soon gave up. Also, most Pokemon are captured in the same way, which is pretty boring in itself, I think. I would just like to do something specific to that type of Pokemon, with a little story attached, not run around some grass until it might pop up, and then do the same thing as I do with every other Pokemon.
Not to say that's a bad way to do it, for an RPG. But that's why I would like it to be a different genre.

Have you heard the good word about Golf Story? Because Golf Story is fantastic.
On a tangential note, this got me thinking about Steambot Chronicles. Even though it still had a good deal of fight battling in it, you could still kit your mech out to just haul stuff around to make money if you want. It really had a unique vibe where you're just some dude bopping around in a fleshed out world without constantly having to struggle against some big bad, and you could just spend your time shooting pool, playing your trumpet on a street corner for loose cash, or wtf ever. Game even had a damn stock exchange.
I'd love to see a version of this with a true open world engine, and not just a bunch of small locales taped together with loading screens.
given that irem went out of business before they could release the sequel and hiroshi takai has long since been conscripted to direct extremely linear action rpgs, hidemaro fujibayashi and eiji aonuma are the only people still brave enough to take charge on making a huge game where you don't do have to do anything
At this point, I'd take a group of dedicated fans going Bomb Rush Cyberfunk with it.
Sorry for the digression, but I love this phrase. I haven't played the game, I know hardly anything about it, but I now absolutely want to describe people as "going bomb rush cyberfunk" about things.
Examples (please pardon the fact that I am deeply uncool and also over 40):
1.) -"Hey, did you hear the new album from <band>?"
-"Yeah! I was blown away! They went totally bomb rush cyberfunk with it."
2.) "My eleventh cup of coffee is going to give me the energy I need to go bomb rush cyberfunk on this data set."
3.) "REVIEW: 5/5 <developer> lets loose with a bomb rush cyberfunk spin on an old classic"
This is pretty bomb rush cyberfunk of you.
Hahaha! I can't say nothin' on that front!

Look, I'm not going to sing the praises of the Clayfighter franchise but I miss the use of quasi-stop motion elements in video games. Mostly because I was a big fan of Trog.
Oh, and more FMV games please.

I would like a Skullmonkeys-esque gonzo claymation platformer with 100% less Doug TenNapel now that you mention stop motion.

FSMV?
A Mega Man RPG or Action RPG with a fantasy theme instead of sci-fi. (Or do we already have that with Shovel Knight?)

Theaterhythm: Final Bar Line—Season Pass 2
Also I just really like the basic rhythm gameplay of Theaterhythm (good balance of tricky inputs while still being able to groove to the songs) so I'd take all sorts of non-Square Enix versions of it. Xenoblade! Elden Ring! Bring it all on.

There are many puzzle games ALMOST like the bomb defusal games in Ultimate Stuntman (NES), but I've never run into anything EXACTLY like it with the different numbers and spaces that you have to touch multiple times to defuse the bomb. I would love a game with nothing but these, I have no idea why I like them so much more than similar games or puzzles where you have to cover all the spaces without backtracking. The fact that you can reuse some spaces more than once adds some extra element to it that tickles my brain.
