>>35469949Replace the gym system with the villanous team as the main adventure, perhaps. You’d fight different TR officers (or other characters) at different stages, some perhaps specializing with different types, maybe not? Don’t even need 8, either.
It would be similar to gyms, but it would tie the story more into your adventure, rather than just stumbling upon it for a few hours then forgetting it or having a side character like Lillie be the focus of it. Gyms/E4 would work as a sidequest. Basicaly, I’d like to see the villanous team story expanded, but in a way that doesn’t railroad you, allowing more exploration, and also isn’t someone else’s story. So basically like other 90’s JRPGs.
