Honestly, a totally fresh Inazuma Eleven would be great.

I don't really necessarily have a problem with them trying to innovate, but when they don't focus on the chill-inducing action then it's hard to even call it "Inazuma". And I think the beginning of GO and Galaxy (namely, pre-Holy Road and Pre-Space, respectively) did this really well, when the characters were growing and changing and were earning their abilities, but after keshin and souls were introduced most things (regular hissatsu included) just became irrelevant and you knew what was coming. And there was a lot less buildup.

But who knows, we might see Inazuma Eleven this year. L5 made a pretty vague announcement about a sequel to a "very popular series". Really, the most likely series'd be Youkai Watch, despite that going without saying. Who knows, though; could be anything. Dark Cloud, Layton, Danball Senki, Inazuma Eleven...*shrug*
