Straight battles with the trainers on your way to the gym leader (e.g. Pewter City/Brock) Puzzles in the gym on your way to the gym leader (e.g. Vermillion City/Lt. Surge) Mini-game/side quest outside the gym before you can even challenge the gym leader (e.g. Pokemon S/V) Just do away with gyms entirely (e.g. Pokemon S/M) Other?

Hbthebattle 12/14/22 2:48:57 AM #6:	I think SV's style has the most potential, especially ones that get you to interact with the city they are in like Larry's or Brassius's. The minigames probably should go, though. --- :) <cite>Hbthebattle posted [p:970150206] in Which appr...

swordz9 12/14/22 8:26:06 AM #11:	Probably the first. Second one is fine too.

SeabassDebeste 12/14/22 9:39:13 AM #13:	i enjoy the "sidequests" - stuff like silph co before sabrina, or needing the 7 badges before giovanni, or going through cinnabar mansion before blaine how did S/M handle it? was unaware they did something so radical there --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:970154322] in Which appr...

Raka_Putra 12/14/22 9:49:16 AM #14:	They don't have gyms, they have "island trials", which is basically a relatively lengthy side quest (for example, gathering ingredients in a forest while battling wild Pokemon) before you can challenge the Island Trial Captain (which is functionally similar to a gym leader, but there's no 8 of them and they don't give badges). --- "A blank page or canvas, his favorite.

hombad46 12/14/22 10:09:08 AM #15:	You don't actually battle most of the Trial Captains as part of the trials. Trials end with a battle against a Totem Pokemon, which is a pokemon of the Trial's type that has a stat boost and can call in backup to make the battle 1v2. --- It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities. <cite>hombad46 posted [p:970154810] in Which appr...
