IDEA: A Pokémon game in the gameplay style of Genshin Impact (without the gacha parts of course)

I’ve been spending some time with Genshin Impact and the gameplay is surprisingly fun and fluid. I think the gameplay could fit perfectly if made with Pokémon.

It would work with Pokémon because you can have multiple Pokémon in your party at once, and can switch to them on the fly depending on what element Pokémon you are facing or whatever environmental obstacle is in your way with a quick press of the D-pad.

Is there a Sparrow flying above you in the sky? Press left on the D-pad to switch Pikachu out and zap it. That small tree blocking your path or ocean in your way? Up on the D-pad will switch to Bidoof to use cut on the tree, and right on the D-pad will whip out Lapras to use surf and get you across the ocean.

This fluid gameplay of switching between characters on the fly combined with Genshin Impact’s great Breath of the Wild like open world mechanics, puzzles, and exploration I think would make an amazing game most Pokémon fans would enjoy/be willing to spend some money on.

What do you think?
