>>13642396It sounds like the sort of Pokemon game I want to play.
Regarding Pokemon Centers and healing;
I was thinking recently that it would be interesting to replace Centers with a resting mechanic. You can rest in areas the game deems safe, often for a fee.
Ideally you'll be resting every few battles, and while you rest time is passing. The gist of this is that it actually takes a decent amount of ingame time for you to progress, and you can experience clock based events without waiting around.
