Your ideal Pokemon game?

What would make the perfect Pokémon game to you?
I would want something that ditches the new Exp. Share (Or at least has both it and the old one) for the old one, because it's no fun being 10 levels higher than every trainer I fight or being completely underleveled (My main problem with X and Y is that it's either too easy or too hard- ORAS is better, but it still wasn't very tough, and I played without the Exp. Share on). Make it properly challenging like Platinum- That game didn't take it easy on you. I mean, you had Gym Leaders like Fantina, who were very difficult to beat unless you were completely prepared, and don't even get me started on Cyrus in the Distortion World. I would also want a large Pokédex like Black 2/White 2's- Where you have plenty of old ones, yet the new ones don't feel completely drowned out like in X and Y. I'd also want a large postgame like Black 2/White 2's, which was absolutely jampacked with content. Something like the Battle Frontier or PWT would be amazing, too. A Challenge Mode as well- It'd be like Black 2 and White 2's. Mega Evolution would be in as well, and it'd be more like in ORAS where you can get a ton of Mega Stones before the National Dex- Unlike in X and Y, where despite them making it out to be a huge thing, you can only get about 4 of them in the main game, which is stupid. In Challenge Mode, every Gym Leader from about the 3rd or 2nd one onward would have a Mega of their typing- Although there could be things like a Dragon leader with a Mega Charizard X and a Fighting leader with a Mega Lopunny. The music would also have to be great and fitting- Unlike in, once again, X and Y, where the Gym Leader theme was some kind of weird background beat. (In case you couldn't tell, I did NOT like X and Y.) It'd also have things like Super Training, the PSS, DexNav, Pokémon-amie, and Horde Encounters, the latter if not only for EV Training. A thing like the Battle Resort, where you have an IV Checker, Daycare, and Cycle Loop all in one, would be amazing too.
So what would your ideal Pokémon game have?

Argh, the list could go on for a while...

For starters, all the regions. With the amount of data a game cartridge can store these days, it's not a long shot to assume they could fit a 3D world of each region.

Secondly, a feature that combines Pokémon Amie with Nintendogs. I don't know about you guys, but the best thing I could possibly imagine is a game like Nintendogs, but with Pokémon. I know Pokémon Amie delivered this kinda, but it got a little... Repetitive. I'm thinking like, feeding them, petting them, grooming them, the possibilites are just endless and it would be the greatest thing I've ever seen! >w<

I would like a pseudo-MMO style game where all regions are accessible You would be able to interact with other online players in real time (battles, trades, mini-games etc.). In this MMO-style game, you would choose which region you begin in. Once you conquer your native region, you have access to all the other regions. All Pokémon (barring Events) would be obtainable. You'd be able to give players O-powers in real time if they're in a battle, for example. You could collect every single badge ever made. Of course, difficulty would ramp up the more badges you acquire. After all badges are earned, you'd have the privilege of fighting trainers such as Red, Gold/Kris/Lyra, Brendan/May, Lucas/Dawn, Hilbert/Hilda (you get the idea). Cool mechanics like bulk trading could be introduced, both interacting and GTS. Multi-Battles could easily be formed, annnd yeah, the list goes on. I might add on to this if I think of anything else. For now, that's my ideal Pokémon game in a nutshell.
One more thing, I'd like this game to be on console... perhaps on the successor to the Wii U.

Walking with Pokémon is one of my favourite features, so having that included would be really cool. Personally I'd like having the option to do things other than challenge the Pokémon league, such as having the option to become a gym leader, a Pokémon professor, a day care employee etcetc. Picking one wouldn't stop you from attempting the Pokémon league though, you would just also have the chance to experience other roles.
Perhaps as a post-game feature? That way the usual formula isn't changed too much. I guess it stems from how much fun I had in Join Avenue, haha

For me, first of all, I'd like to see a game with a huge storyline, like Black2/White2. I really loved that game ^^
Beside that, just gimme a lot of extra options. I want to explore the Pokémon world in a different way. I don't want to be a Trainer all the time, just let us be whoever we want to be!
Backstory, extra options, what else do I want to see... Oh yeah! Please put all 720 (so far, there are 720 possible Pokémon, right?) Pokémon in one game. That'd be truly awesome ^^

I'd love for the game to include many different features such as walking with Pokémon, Pokémon amie, the pokeathalon, medals, and a whole bunch more. I'd also love for the storyline to be a little more extensive with more active NPCs and champions. The thing that disappointed me about XY was that the characters didn't seem to be interested in the plot (neither did I) and the plot was really short. However, in BW/BW2 had more of a larger plot with active NPCs like Alder and the Gym Leaders trying to stop the evil team.
