How to make it fun: Make it easier to access new areas, and let us play on the 3DS. Make an offline version of it to work like the Poke Pelago (berry farming, breeding eggs, etc).
Add more minigames every months, add things that changes the meta, don't tie abilities to HA, make them free (ie allow us to get Drought Moltres, Levitate Magnezone, etc).
Make areas more interesting. For example, a Pokemon transferred from Sinnoh would occasionally dream about the Distortion World.
DO NOT make it a passive thing, like "deposit pokemon and receive goods at night".
