Removing the Gym Challenge/Island Challenge

[Greninjaman]

Months ago, I asked how the games would change if the evil team was removed. Now, my question is this: What if the Gym Challenge was removed? How would the game change? Obviously, the player would need a different motivation for traveling the region since the Badge Quest is gone. What do you guys think?

worked well in legends imo

The new goal is catching Pokemon of every art. Stil more Trainers and eventually a new battle system

True. There is also taking down the evil team.

I feel they might find another way to have bosses. I've always felt that was the reason gyms exist in the first place, anyway.

Perhaps the villainous team? Could also have a town that has a Pokémon that is rampaging, and it serves as a boss.

Eventualy a completly new idea that you ply as Pokemon or ar part of the evil team.
Here are my ideas:

Playing as Pokemon
•Wild Pokemon as boss
• Trainers as boss that trie to catch you
•Food searching is in my opinion a thing that makes it more realistic

Playing as evil team 1
•Fight trainers and steal there Pokemon
•Fight in raid's with NPC eventually in the M.S Anne
•Make mission's to higher your rank in the team

Playing as evil team 2
•Playing as boss and recrute more members
•Eventually online?
•Grow bigger and build an Evil-universe.
•Take care of the other teams.

To be honest, I would like a game that doesn't have gyms or the island challenge and has something completely different to shake up the formula. The question is, I wonder what they'd do? It'd probably only be a game in the past, honestly, like Legends.

A game with no gyms very likely means a game with far more freedom, you know, like most other RPGs. But there would have to be bosses of some sort, it doesn't even have to be an evil team, just checkpoints of some sort.
