if there was a pokemon life simulator it wouldn't be about battles- that would be up to the trainer. it would be about
1. free time- pokemons aren't actually in the balls, the balls are teleportation devices and you actually have fun in your home enviorment
2. evolution- us trainers see it automaticly, but there actually lotsa preperation involved, probably with stuff like training or others- for example, a slowpoke needs to go fish before it can evolve
3. general life managment- social with other pokemons of the trainer, eating and diat, minigames
4. education - you don't really think those moves suddenly appear of thin air right? still its the trainer who decides if you need to learn them
5. relationship with the trainer- also getting traded and stuff. inb4 romance, but why not?
any more ideas?
