As a fan of horror game genre, would be interested to play a Pokémon horror game - e.g. imagine a Pokémon version of Alien isolation, Turok or Silent hill :man_zombie:

I would love content with a darker tone, and in general more “adult” spin offs or even main games.
I think Kanto especially had a lot of potential in that regard (pretty brutal pokedex lore, Team rocket not being a caricature but an actual believable mafia-inspired group, those theories about a recent great war, scientists willing to do anything to experiment on rare pokemon, and so on.).

Unfortunately everything has been pretty much sanitized nowadays.

I like it the way it is. A darker story would be fine, but darker designs for the Pokemon/trainers/region or rather a darker athmosphere in general would be too much for me.
