>>17754306I still want an old couple in the players hometown who sends the player on hundreds of mini sidequests (fetching a parlyze heal for the old mans back, finding x number of mushroms for the old lady to make soup, showing the old man the evolved form of a pokemon he always wanted as a kid, etc.) in exchange for prizes ranging from a couple Pokebucks to rare TM's and hold items.
Each badge would unlock 5-10 new quests and the player can either do them all at once to fill out their journey experience, save them all for the end and do a major quest adventure, or just skip them completely at the expense of not getting the rare items.
