I'd take another gameboy/DS-esque Pokemon game. Those at least were competently made.
I'm just so tired of repeating terrain textures, water the looks like garbage. I've seen single-developer indie titles that looked, played, and were better written than the last 5-8 pokemon games.
If so, try Cassette Beasts. Actually blew me away completely unexpectedly, combining smarter combat, really neat pixel graphics, inventive monster names that are of course all terrible puns, and a really really great combat soundtrack that dynamically gets vocals when you fuse.
Only downside is that it makes modern actual Pokemon games look even worse by comparison.
