What are your hopes and predictions for this, should it become a thing (which it probably will)?

I both hope for and predict a return to the original formula of 64 and TTYD, with leveling up based on Star Points, turn-based combat, badges, and partners. Although I can see it taking some elements from Super Paper Mario, such as having two partners out at once (the tattle partner and one other) and I'd expect it to visually look like the artwork of Paper Mario: Sticker Star, with HD paper textures pieced together into characters.

What do you want to see in a new Paper Mario game? I'd like to see Wario and Waluigi appear in it somehow, but I know the chances of that are slim. Most importantly, however, I want original characters and a decent story. Seriously. Miyamoto, learn from your previous mistakes and don't make them again.
 
Despite the Year of Luigi being over, I want a Paper Luigi: The Waffle Kingdom covering Luigi's adventure during TTYD.
 
If there is a Shy Guy as a partner, I would be ****ing hyped!
 
Believe me, I'd love for the series go back to its roots and have the same charm as the first three, but after the wounds that were caused by Sticker Star (and reopened towards the end of Dream Team), I'll be keeping my expectations low this time around.
 
If we ever see an original paper Mario style game. I hope for it being like 10 chapters! Also have like The Pit of 200 Trials and some new things. Also even though some people complained about recolored copies of enemies, I liked them, it was interesting. Bring back Clefts, Wizzerds, Koopa Strikers, Gloombas, X-Nauts (do what was done for Shroobs in M&L:BiS), Yuxs, Koopatrols, Spinias/Spanias, Dayzees. I would like to see references from old PM games like use that unused robot from TTYD, reference Bobbery's past with his beta design. I have so many ideas.
 
Returning to 64 and TTYD formula would be great. Chain Chomp partner was a good idea.
Though still no info about a new one may mean they are forgetting these series.

It's only been two years...

Not to mention Intelligent Systems is currently working on two other projects as it is...

And nothing at E3.

And I just edited my post as this got posted...
 
If they showed anything at all at this point, it'd probably be less developed than Yarn Yoshi was initially.

Plus they started development for Sticker Star two years and a bit after Super Paper Mario, and it's been less than a year so far. Announcing a fifth game right now would be extremely improbable and while I don't really want to hope for anything big, I still hope they really polish the next game this time though, if they make it at all.

It's been over a year. In fact, it's been almost two, since Sticker Star was released in November 2012. As early as that may still seem, Super Paper Mario was shown at E3 two years after Thousand-Year came out.
