>>27949999>There needs to be some other way of getting coins. For me cashing out on 2 gyms is a paradise.I consider "other ways to get coins" to be separate from fixing the gym experience.
Currently, one of the problems with gyms is that they don't actually offer you any incentives other than cashing out. So, if you've already cashed out, you have no reason to bother helping other members of your team. If it helped you boost your Pokémon, though, you'd be more inclined to pitch in and help.
Similarly, rewarding you for keeping your Pokémon in gyms will give you reason to actually put in good things and make the gyms difficult to capture, rather than just throwing in whatever.
It should be noted that I'm working on the assumptions that the battle system would not be fully overhauled, nor would the existence of gyms.
Another possibility would be for the gym to (at least partially) heal your Pokémon on a total victory. That would, again, give you a reason to risk using your more powerful Pokémon, rather than just zerging with half-health Pidgeys. Since you gain experience and move the prestige regardless of whether you win or lose, giving some additional benefit to winning wouldn't go amiss.
It'd also be nice if you could contribute more meaningfully to the defense of a gym if you were on-site. As it is, all you can really do is drop something in and move on.
