On the other side, how to make the game less casual:
>Your rival automatically levels his pokemon to the same levels as yours
>in addition to his starter's type beating yours, if you use a pokemon to sweep his team easily, the next time you fight he'll have one of his pokemon be a counter to that poke, to encourage you to not rely on one pokemon alone
>all gym leaders now have a full set of 6 pokemon right from the start
>some trainers on the routes are genuinely hard, pokemon with 5 or 10 levels on what you'd normally have
>there are longer routes around, so you can take a chance and try and beat them, or take the long, safe option.
These should all be optional because pokemon is mostly for kids, have it marked as "Champion mode" or something
