>>49310926Actually better yet ,You know how the Yiga Clan just starts spawning randomly in the world after you clear about half the game? Do that with Trainers. Some trainers patrol specific areas, but the majority of trainers are random NPCs that Trainers spawn with semi-randomized teams within the areas you're exploring based on their archetype. They could stay tuned to around your team's general level, and provide a nice side challenge as you progress through the world. That's not too different from how the games already work, and if they really wanted to be spicy, they could have 3 or 4 pseudo-rivals like Klara and Avery who spawn a few levels above your team to provide additional challenge and fill the game with that Gary Oak energy where tough trainers sometimes show up at the worst possible times!
Thanks for reading my fanfic.
