Honestly I won't even lie, make a 16 bit pixel based Pokemon game that blends realism into the backgrounds and environments (sort of like Octopath Traveller).

Feature only Pokemon from the first 3 or 4 gens. Have it take place in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, except 25 years after the events of those games. You have to travel between regions and deal with shit being stirred up by Team Rocket.

You'll end up with 24 badges before you battle the Elite Eight (oh fuck dude). The levels would naturally progress through the game, so the Elite Eight would have Pokemon in their level 90s.

The Champion would be someone totally unexpected but still nostalgia based, like a grown up Youngster Joey, with a level 100 Raticate as well as a fully balanced team of high 90s Pokemon, maybe even something nuts like a level 99 Mewtwo or something.

Basically just make something that itches the nostalgia of the original fans while acknowledging that they aren't kids anymore. Actual kids would love this as well.
