>>53405877>>53444649I have this idea in my head, and i don't even know if i can be made, or if its a good idea, making it about traning pokemon and earning money and fame, kind of like someone would training and managing a Boxer/MMA fighter and making it into the big leagues, making it like pokemon training was more of a profession instead of this whimsical teen journey everyone has
Here's the picture in my head: You start at the bottom, maybe not "illegal underground" bottom, but at the local tournament the town puts up at some holiday or whatever where you get the tutorial showing you the basics, Pokemon battles are basically the same except you can't gain Experience, EVs or Money just by fighting
The money earned after the fight depends on several factors, a "Hype" stat that can increase depending on "Fame" (of both participants), Fame (Increases mainly with victories) and other things like Trainer and Pokemon Outfits and how it synergizes with their "Disposition" or "Alignment" (kind of the same that Pokemon Contest have, something akin to Coolness, Beauty, Cuteness, Cleverness, or Toughness, but maybe add something else for balance), how much the event was adverticed, etc
"Fame" can be increased outside of fighting with quests like stoping some criminal activity or defeating some pokemon horde harrasing the city, basically anything that can show the press/internet you're competent fighter and people like you more, it can be more than just that. Fame would also open more content
"Disposition" is what stablishes your Brand so to speak and it has to do with "Sponsors", each alightment has diferent Sponsors that gives you diferent discounts, unique items and reward money depending on the tier (Like, Amateur tier could probably give you a small discount at some local stores and a shirt with their logo that increases income by a little and not much else), but if you deviate too much from it you could also lose that sponsor.
