>>56484724If I had the time or talent to produce a rom hack, I'd make routes / caves / oceans close behind you after you step into them, forcing you to do it in one go, and slightly up the challenge of mooks on routes.
If I wanted to do competitive battles, I'd just go to showdown. Challenge me in a different way vs AI. Make me resource manage. Let me get into a tough-ish fight with 2 pokemon down and my sweeper paralyzed. Or let me sneak passed all the trainers so I can pokecenter spam once I reach the next town over, then backtrack to fight off everyone if I'm having too much trouble
I would like the game to function more like an RPG and not showdown vs AI
