So I have two ideas for new skylanders in the next games
Commanders and minions: The commanders are these skylanders who can commande an army of minions and each minion have different effects like poison or life drain.
Beast force: a team of skylanders made up of wild and deadly beasts with stuff like animal instincts and etc.
So what do you guys think and what are your ideas for the next game?

Some kind of mounts or vehicles (perhaps raceable?) would be excellent; personally I like the faster 'landers, or those with a charge move. An open world, larger than the hub, to cruise around in would be intriguing as well.

I know for a fact they could go for something like Skylanders: Evolved.
Wherein there are evolved versions of older characters. I.E. An evolved Tree Rex with double slams like Wallop's hammers, or an evolved Boomer who throws more dynamite at once. Its basically series 2 for characters that would have issues having a series 2. Mainly Giants, Swappers, and the no repose 5. What do you guys think?

A game centered around the two new elements. I've made a topic about some of my thoughts about it in the fandom section, but I'm not sure if linking it would be considered advertising.

I would love that.

I was thinking transformer gimmick landers. Think of crash bandicoot twinsanity but better.

Actually, this is always on my mind when a new game comes out. Toys for Bob kind of painted everyone into a corner with the Trap Team gimmick. Yeah, an argument could be made that Swap Force was a gimmick, but only insomuch as the portal needed to be able to read more RFID tags simultaneously. With Trap Team, going forward, any new portal will have to have a Traptanium slot in it to be backward compatible, and I could see them ditching the speaker to lower costs or make room for something else. For that reason, Trap Team may hinder innovation for future games.

With that said, I have had three different ideas. First, a sort of "all-star" game, in which we get the prerequisite 16-32 new Skylanders, but all series' figures are from the gimmick price points, reposes of Giants, Swap Force, and Trap Team. That allows them to continue the $14.99 price point, even if they don't have something new to occupy it.

Second, would be to make the figures poseable, and in turn removable from the base. That way, children could play with the outside of the game as well.

Idea three is sort of like number two, but instead of them being sort of like action figures, integrate something like Hero Clix, so that even those that have no interest in playing the games but be interested enough in playing Skylanders as a tabletop to buy them.

I also just had a fourth idea while typing this. Include 3-5 Giants version Skystones cards with each figure, so that kids can phyically play Skystones. Or, as an evolution of that idea, include a camera and base, so that kids can physically play Skystones in the game like the PS3 game Eye of Judgement. Feel free to look up Eye of Judgement on YouTube, as you have likely never heard of it, but please, for the love of all things, NEVER try to actually play it. First, it isn't good, but second, the first time I turned it on, the updates took almost TWO HOURS.

In that case, here's the topic. Right now, it's mostly focused on the number of characters, since I don't know how the new elements are going to be explained in Trap Team and in the new Skylanders' backstories.

Transforming Skylanders sounds neat.
