When i played Scarlet/Violet (in my opinion) I saw that it was pretty lackluster in fun and engaging minigame content and was kinda let down, thinking they could have made some better minigames. What do you guys think would be good minigames for a future Pokemon game?

    For me I was thinking maybe a sports mode where your Pokemon team has to compete against another (like for example hockey 3v3's) and it plays like some of the Mario Party sports minigames and Mario & Sonic Olympic games. Basically each Pokemon would have different stats and specialties and better at certain positions (like Abra has high evasion and is better as a centerman and Ursaring has high power as is better as a defenseman) and would make for an engaging minigame with a good amount of team building and strategy.

    the idea you are saying I think is like pokeathalon from HGSS though it would be a pretty smart idea for them to bring back past minigames including that the games from Pokemon Amie and any other minigame they might have had in the past

    How about reorganize the game corner into a slew of Fun arcade minigames where you win prize tickets.

    That could work, but what kind of arcade games do you have in mind? If I take inspiration from other titles there could be a PokePinball game, TCG game, racing game (perhaps excitibike), fighting game (perhaps Pokken).

    The Poké Amie mini games would be fun (and by that I mean only Berry Picker, the others were not fun).

    I do like Pokemon Amie mini games as well. I would like to see expansion on the mini games for more fun.
