We already know that both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A game will run better on the new console, but I believe the Switch’s successor has the potential to bring back a much-loved spin-off series: Pokémon Ranger. As the 20th Pokémon Ranger anniversary approaches, as well as the 30th anniversary of Pokémon as a whole, it’s high time that this series was freed from the Nintendo DS with a remake or entirely new game.

Instead of catching companions in Pokéballs, they use a Beyblade-style spinning top called the Capture Styler to calm wild Pokémon and team up with them.
