The Ideal Pokemon MMORPG

If it's not painfully obvious, the Pokemon MMO world would include all previous generation's regions (Kanto, Johto, etc) as well as new regions, all interconnected as a huge world for one to explore. Perhaps it would even include spin-off regions such as the Orre region either as extra areas or as cannon areas of the MMO.
The old regions need GOOD up-grades of the music that was played that doesn't take away from the original feel, but instead brings out that flavor more.
New areas would need similar-styled music.
The world would be a 3D world, in and out of battles.
The world would be just as colorful and vibrant as in the previous games, if not more so.
There wouldn't be just one quest to go on like in the previous games. Instead, just like in WoW and other MMO's, you'd be able to choose different quests, have many different adventures, and always keep playing, always with new content.
In almost all other aspects, the world should act just as it does in the previous games (picking and choosing the best over the worst, of course; weather and times of the day--VERY YES. Actively showing the sun, day/night/etc; possibly even the moon to portray visible nights and pitch-black nights in the wilderness.)

1st Amendment:
This world will not reference or be a game version of the Pokemon *Anime*. This is because the Anime has a lot of inaccuracies when compared to the video games.
The MMO should take its cues visually and behaviorally from the video games. How about, like the Pokemon Gold game says, have Staryu float to the surface of the sea during night and glow?

First of all, of course, is player customization. Lots of basic Pokemon trainer-styled clothing that when mix-and-matched, gives everyone a unique look.
Also customizing gender, ethnicity, hair color, etc. and all other human traits.
It's possible for there to be a choice between being a trainer, team rocket member, or some other active member of the world (non-NPC).
Trainers would start off in a starter area, being given hints by the NPCs who abound.
As you progress through the areas of the game, you get to fight as many people as you want. For fairness and equality purposes, the computer will notify any two people if the average levels of their Pokemon are 10+ levels above or below the person they want to fight, or if any one Pokemon is 10+ levels above your highest leveled Pokemon.
Once the trainers fight the biggest foe of the game, a lot more options are open to them. They may now become gym leaders. They are now free to explore the world and complete quests.
Perhaps they are excluded to a starter region before getting to explore the earlier Pokemon regions.

1st Amendment:
Something that came to mind as I was playing the games was the item holding system, the bag in which all items are held. In the 2nd generation, the bag is very small, and although it is eons beyond what the 1st generation had, it still had a lot to go.
By the 4th generation, the space has expanded dramatically, but nothing much has happened in the terms of sorting your items.
I'd like for the pokemon MMO to be able to instantly call up, say, all items that cure freezing at once. The 4th generation actually does a good job of something similar to this, but only in-battle, whereas while just walking around, your items are in long lists of unorganized messes.
All in short, the system for your player to hold items needs to be improved.
Also, when in the starting area, you are either able to choose or are given randomly your rival. He or she will speak your language so as to be able to throw insults back and forth.
If one of you has a 10-lvl difference, or if one of you decides they don't want to be a rival anymore, then we go into the mode of switching rivals. Once this happens, the obvious "winner" will be branded as so, and new, equal-playing field rivals may be assigned.

It's very obvious the Pokemon need to be in as much 3D as the world is. Pokemon Stadium 64/Pokemon Snap style 3D is at least what is needed.
Also, just like in Pokemon Stadium, when attacking and being hit, the Pokemon need to have good animations for their specific bodies and layout. A Caterpie shouldn't just have the same animation as Onix just because they are both long Pokemon with no legs.
All the attacks a Pokemon could know need to be covered by the animations. A Snorlax doesn't need a fly animation, but a Zapdos does.
One or two really well-done menacing poses would be nice for each Pokemon as well. They'd definitely have to fit the Pokemon's body and "personality" as well; you won't find Metapod twirling around and floating in mid-air or hopping towards you to give a menacing glare.
It would be nice to see some maturing of the Pokemon as well. I've heard that in the Harry Potter series, the books grew with the children, so the kids didn't have to ever grow out of the series. Why can't Pokemon be the same? Most of the original Pokemon lovers are now in their early 20's. Let's have Pokemon mature to the same level.
Finally, something to go over is how everyone can catch 'em all when there are only one of some Pokemon. I say this world is set in a time *after* all the Pokemon have been caught, and perhaps the legendaries released again. They would be too powerful to be caught (or some other such excuse) but you'd still be able to experience them in-game in all their glory. If you're lucky.
Also each person gets a pokedex to start off with that has all the pokemon already pre-loaded to it (because all the pokemon have been caught).

While you're rummaging through tall grass, it would be very nice to see the Pokemon you just encountered jump out at you while not in a cut scene. We can't have the person not even see what he's encountered until the battle starts anymore.
It would also be almost absolutely necessary to see other people battling each other and wild Pokemon as they encounter them in real time.
When a battle starts, a few things need to happen. One, the area can be somehow "warped" so that everyone can fight. It'd be nice to have everything a shade of white, a throwback to the old games' fighting scenes.
Of course as I explained before, the battle animations need to be top-notch, or at least well done. Blastoise needs to use his cannons to shoot water, etc.
Also, for once, we need to see how much damage the enemy Pokemon is taking with each hit, as well as accurate health bars that change color correctly (I'm looking at you, Diamond and Pearl).
Animations also need to be fast and not time-consuming (D/P, lookin' at you.)
Finally, people should be most profitable battle-wise when they battle Pokemon traditionally. Fighting a Zubat over and over again shouldn't give you a better Pokemon than fighting whatever comes in your path.

-Items need to have animations of how they're used
-If Pokemon drop things when defeated, they need to be realistic. A Meowth may drop money. A Rattata may drop a tiny trinket.
-Just like in WoW, it would be really nice for yearly celebrations in-game to coincide with IRL celebrations.
-More when I think about it.
-With the storyline, the MMO could build up an epic, amazing world...and then using the evil team, have it demolished--possibly have it taken over, *while the people are there*.
Very similar to in Pokemon Gold, in which Team Rocket takes over the Radio Tower.
("The Storyline" might become its own section)

That's it right now. I'm sure there's a lot that's wrong with my write up. You are MORE than welcome to tell me where I've gone wrong, what I screwed up, what wouldn't work, etc. It'd be nice to see a compliment or two as well.

I'll be looking forward to comments!
