>Pokemon with an attack/sp.atk boosting nature function as normal amd fight the pokemon you send out>Def/Sp.Def natures would watch curiously until you attacked them>Speed natures would try and run away if they took damageThen you add in a use for all those flavors of berries by letting you use them as bait for wild pokemon. It'd calm the attacking ones into being calm, the tmid ones into not running, and,make all of them easier to catch.
Now you've got a system where wild pokemon serve as both obstacles in a dungeon as well as chance encounters that you don't have to fight as long as you have berries. As an added bonus, you can have the wild pokemon message pop up with a slight description so you can know the behavior before it acts and guess at its nature as well.
