>>55794111For real pokemon games NEEDS economy. They could still leave enough money in gym/battles so you could just streamline through them, but they simply must add sidejobs for your mons. It doen not need to be all-encopassing but still there need to be some mines where you could go with your roch and earth types, some factories for steel/fire, some random disasters like fires where you could help with your water types, some mail quests, simple defence quests against wild mons, ability to catch random thieves and poachers etc. In just several minutes I already tought about dozen ways to diverse game experience, to see pokeworld outside of league battles. ANd of course we could not forget about greatest motivation for all of that - money. Money for customization, leveling, vanity - help peoples to customize their mons, not even talking about "very difficult" things like clothes - at least some hats, trinkets, skin paints/tatoos.
