>>50716338I want a pokemon game that goes hard on making gyms, the elite 4 and the evil team feel more challenging and realistic.
Like most of the gym leaders have 6 pokemon on their team (appropriately leveled and all on-type, but with a large coverage of dual types that mean you can't be totally safe spamming super effective moves with one pokemon to win).
The elite 4 and champion all have 6 pokemon on their teams too (pretty much same as above, but no longer themed around type and will well composed teams with a wide variety and coverage of types that they actually switch in and out to try to gain advantage against you).
The evil team members ALL cheat in various ways (think the SwSh DLC rival who poisons your pokemon at the start of the battle, small stuff like that to make the evil team feel genuinely evil by having them blatantly fight unfairly).
Evil team leaders all have 6 pokemon AND cheat against you.
Also I want to have a rival who's actually a spy for the evil team, who acts like your friend undercover and when they reveal that they were actually spying on you, the battle starts with them having a completely different team based entirely on what YOUR team is (basically, they've been spying on you to figure out your team's weaknesses and their pokemon change so that they have a full team of pokemon with type advantage over yours in this battle). Just think it would be cool having the whole "I've learned all your weaknesses!" type of battle.
