>>38691626Agreed. And it's not too complicated to make this. Maybe increasing 3 to 5 levels the enemy Pokémon and limiting you to 3 restoration items + 1 battle item per battle would be enough. The opponent would have the same item limitation and a good AI to use it, including Max Revives. Just image how epic a Champion battle would be if he could use 3 Max Revives. But to make things more interesting, you would get a wide array of battle items during gameplay. Makes no sense to keep items like Life Orb and Choice items locked to post game. There could be facilities where you could EV train (or re-train) your Pokémon for a fee. Also, that things like the Pokémon avoiding an attack or critting because he loves you would have be to either scrapped totally, or some good trainers would have it too, specially the Champion.
Ok this got a little more sohpisticated but dreaming is free.
