New Approach for the pokemon game's opening

Here's the other part of my vision of the opening of the pokemon game. After the Protagonist and the rival's Pokemon defeated the unknown pokemon, A gigantic pokemon started appearing and slam its tentacle to cause a tidal wave. The protagonist saw the sailor's about to go over board and the protagonist slides in and rescue the sailor only that he/she's about to fall over board too but the protagonist's pokemon rescued the protagonist so that the captain and his Golisopod come in and pull up the sailor and the protagonist back to safety. Seeing that the captain and Golisopod's ability from the protagonist, the captain passed the protagonist and pokemon with flying colors and intend to head towards the destination without delay.
Arriving upon port, the captain told the rival to go to the bus for the League orientation site. But the captain simply told the rival a white lie as he feels there's something off about her. The protagonist, on the other hand, the captain told the protagonist the real way is to a lone tree where the Guides are since the captain taking a liking to the protagonist and his/her kindness towards pokemon. Plus he's taking the liberty of supplying the protagonist with poke balls even without a pokedex to give the protagonist a head start.
Upon heading to the lone tree the protagonist enters a ghost town encountering an old lady with masked children for the next phase, "The Impossible choice quiz!" The protagonist is force to make a choice between 1 and 2. but when the protagonist is hesitant to answer, the protagonist is able to enter the way to the tree where the protagonist is tested where a zoroark that appears to be talking but when the protagonist and his/her pokemon stop when the other zoroark appears they know it's not the same one they pursued. Therefore, the protagonist passed and were taken to the orientation site where the protagonist, the rival, and hundreds of trainers took seat at the orientation where the head of the world pokemon league commission congratulate the true trainers for coming to the orientation and introduce himself and explain the mysterious world of Pokemon. Afterwords, he hand each trainer a phone containing the pokedex app and that's where the protagonist's journey starts.

@clasingla It maybe a lot but heading to the first gym will occur after going home first because It will be wise to try to take the pre trainer journey one step at a time. Not to mention it's a possibility not to head to home until you accomplish becoming a trainer first.

@TheJeffers That sounds a lot like what Scarlet violet would do.

@MajorBrendan Right... but they didn't. They went in the opposite direction.

@TheJeffers could you elucidate more on your opening in detail?

I think a big frustration for long time fans is that every game treats you like a beginner. You have to go through the same old tutorials and build up before the game really starts. For me, I learned all of this going on a quarter of a century ago. I don't need to know that you weaken Pokémon to capture them or grass is weak to fire, thanks.
Of course, there are young children or new players picking up a Pokémon game for the first time, so it is perfectly reasonable to include these tutorials in the game. That isn't my complaint.
I want the option to skip it. Perhaps even allow players to import their save from a previous game on the same console. That might have been difficult on the Game Boy, but almost trivial on a console like the Switch where games are saved to the console's internal memory anyway.
I am not saying they have to allow you to import your team or anything. It would be very difficult to adapt a game's difficulty to a point where both a brand new player with a level 5 starter, a player who beat the last games Elite Four, and someone who trained every Pokémon in the last game's Pokédex to 100 could all play through the same game.
Not necessarily impossible, but we are talking about a company that won't incorporate a hard mode and actually removed the ability to disable features that make the game easier like the exp. share or shift battle style. They are not designing their games around imported teams.
But maybe if you import your save from the last game and it sees you have a certain number of badges, it could say that instead of being a new trainer you are a trainer who moved from the previous region, or spent some time training there. If you beat the last game's champion, they could even let you do what Nemona did, acknowledge your rank but raise a new team.
And of course, skip the tutorials and practice battles.
Maybe other trainers and gym leaders could recognise the player's rank and use stronger teams with more Pokémon on them.
Maybe the player could be given access to harder areas of the game early on.
And I don't see why this has to be limited to people who played earlier games. If a new player wanted to start on the harder difficulty, why not let them? Ask them if they are new to Pokémon, or offer to start the game on a harder difficulty when they start the game. Importing saves was simply an automated way to do it.
I really hope Gamefreak can move away from the restricted, on rails experience they have been trying to force despite the irony of making their games "open world", and let players choose to disable the hand holding and up the difficulty if they choose.
Not every Pokémon player is a TikTok addicted primary schooler with two smart phones, an attention span measured in picoseconds and the problem solving skill of a sedated koala.

@TheJeffers Try to be creative in how you could make a much more unique core pokemon game opening scenario scene more enticing. Like writing a story.
