How about, after you complete the game, you become a Gym Leader. You can customise your outfit, type badge, even your Gym.
You get challenges from trainers and other Gym Leaders. You can even challenge or get challenged by your friends over wi-fi.
 
sounds like it could work with the wifi battling your friends but they would need to make some kind of standings that could be viewed. also maybe they could make the leader borders for time zones or something to organize it more or something, just and idea.
 
I'm sorry, but this just sounds like other features that have been requested. Customization goes with customizing your avatar and secret base, being challenged by NPC's goes with phone calls, and challenging others over Wi-Fi is exactly like challenging people normally.
 
I would just love it if the pokemon games became games where the primary focus was standing around all day waiting for trainers to appear and not actually traveling.
 
GreatLiver, I said it would be one of the things you could do when you finished the game.
 
Well, maybe make bigger secret bases, in which you could battle other trainers. You could make your base like a gym.
 
it would be cool, but I don't know... you're usually the Champion after you finish the game, would being a step lower as a gym leader make sense too? and, would they let you have whatever you want as a gym team or make you stay with one type?

I'm not so sure it would work out in the game's story...
 
You could take challenges as the elite four champion. I like the gym leader idea too.
 
What's the point of getting challenged by weaker trainers when you'd get more of a challenge in the Battle Frontier without having to be stuck in a single building? Or the fact that there are gym leader rematches.

How can you own a gym if you're a league champion?

By using their amazing technology to purposely level-down your Pokemon.

Kind of like the Battle Frontier, but with trainers that have worse AI and less of a reward at the end.
 
As much as I love the concept, it is more fitting for a Pokemon MMO. Unless that is the direction Gen V goes in I can't see it happening =(
 
This wouldn't make sense to put this into a Pokemon RPG because the mechanic needed sounds like the time mechanic in Nintendogs. The game moves without you.
 
I've always wanted that, in Diamond & Pearl me and my brother used to go underground and make our own gyms,they sucked but its a good idea.
 
That'd sound interesting, actually. But what about this: are you still allowed to travel if you're a Gym Leader? (just a thought)
 
@Platinum Dude

Yes, the Gym Leader thing is just a small feature.
 
I question the point. So you're a gym leader. Yay. Then what? Unlike the Pokemon League Champion, which I can understand, a Gym Leader is responsible to taking on trainers who challenge his or her gym. Even the ones that leave from time to time understand that. What would you do as a gym leader?
 
Turn on the game.

Stand.

Save.

Turn off the game.


Sounds like a whole load of fun to me. Look, this isn't the anime where Donutboy follows Ash around everywhere. This is an in-game Gym. You're stuck there until some ass player character shows up.

This would be fitting for an MMO, yes, but that'd require constant internet connection, and would best be done on a computer. Ninty's not about to let their biggest franchise throw off their handheld market, kept strong by Pokémon, and go on computers which are a hell of a lot easier to crack code on.
 
It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it would quite work out too well. I think it would be easier if they brought back the old feature from secret bases in R/S/E where if you mixed records with someone, their secret base would appear in your game and you could go and battle them against the team they had when you mixed records with them. I always missed that feature, and it's actually quite similar to this idea. You'd just earn exp and money instead of badges. I think they should definitely bring that back.

It would even work well should they decide to make a R/S/E remake. Just like HG/SS got a GTS and Battle Frontier that was compatible with D/P/Pt, Gen V's new games could bring back the upper world secret base feature and find a way to make it compatible with the possible R/S/E remake. Like there could be a special building that lets you battle people in their secret base in the other region. If the Gen V game and the R/S/E remake mix records, the data would get sent to that special building, and then you just choose your friend's name off of a list of names of people who you mixed records with, and the person who works there could teleport you to the friend's secret base, and when you step out of your friend's base it teleports you back to the building. You would be able to battle as many friends as you want in a day, but you can only battle each specific friend once per day.

I think that idea would work out quite nicely, and would be a good compromise to the whole "become a gym leader" idea. Of course it's just an idea. I won't be too disappointed if they don't anything at all like this either, but it would be nice.
 
It doesn't sound that fun, tbh.

You'd just stand around for hours upon hours waiting for a trainer to challenge you.

Woo.
 
Regardless of this idea being constantly popped up by different people, I don't see this happening ever in an official Pokémon game. Maybe in a fan game, but not in an official one.
