So /vp/, I've been thinking. I always feel gipped in the games when a gym leader is weak as hell. I mean, in Gen 5, I easily swept Clay with just my crappy stats Servine, and I hadn't even been level grinding it, not to mention all the other ones that were easily fucked over by just one or two pokemon on my team. But what if we could have satisfying gym leader battles?
I understand it's a game for kids, but what if after the first playthrough, you could get a sort of "second quest" style playthrough where you start from the first town again, keeping your team and caught pokemon, and get to rebattle all the gym leaders with superleveled/monster stats pokemon? And they could have actual smart AI (inb4 lel) that doesn't spam status effect moves after your pokemon has it and they could use actual tactics against you. I understand that a battle tower/subway/PWT/online play can offer challenge for those that want it, but I really want to be able to fight a gym leader/E4 member and have it feel like an actual hard battle rather than a glorified ace trainer fight with slightly higher levels.
