Un-Cheap Rare Candy
BlazingApollo:
"Rare candy, a random candy that can level up a Pokemon by just eating it".
Yup, like we all know that RC is a bit cheap, often abused by some people, even if it's hard to find/obtain, it still doesn't make sense.
After all, how can a candy make you stronger? (except it's drugs :o )
Ah yes, my suggestion for this thing:
- Don't make Rare Candy level up a Pokemon instantly.
- Rare Candy will only give a Pokemon an XP boost (like 100XP, 1500XP, 3500XP, 10000XP, etc).
- Rare Candy can be obtained through missions or quests, or buying it from a special person, (the PokeMart selling RC seems a bit weird, right?), mixing berries, etc.
- Turn Rare Candy to something more... legit (like medicine, gemstone, magic powder, or somethhing that doesn't make you think they're drugs).
- Give some side effects of using some types of RC (lowers EVs or stats, lowering Pokemon happiness, etc).
- And for the storyline, I think it would be better that the evil organization is creating and smuggling illegal RC, medicines, or something that can control Pokemon and make them obey the evil organization, your job is to stop their actions and find a cure for the infected Pokemon.
- Run out of ideas here (-__-")
Anyway, that's all it is, and I hope you agree with me 8)

Not totally as rare candies do not really benefit a pokemon besides raising is happiness (that's what makes it level up, or so is the reason behind the rare candy it seems) and its level. EV (or EP) are not raised that way. But sure, they could be turned into an EXP giving item rather than leveling up item.
And tbh, I'd rather have the rare candy un-tradable, un-equipable and have a really low market price, 1 poke maybe. Prevents abuse of collecting rare candies, and trading and the user is already at a loss as compared to another who's doing real training.
Only issue, is that the EV (or EP) system is yet to be confirmed from the balance team...
As for the black market and fake rare candies, yea, why not. Could do something about it.
Those are my 2 cents.

In the actual games. Rare Candy is the worst item ever. When you use them your pokemon does not gain EVs. Leaving your team a lot weaker than players who did not use them.

Uh, yeah, forget about that fact... (-__-")
Anyway, that's because their only purpose in the actual games are to make Pokemon level up, to know if they will evolve or not, learn a move or not, etc.
So, I guess an XP boost would be better, once leveled up, it would be like a normal leveling up.
Btw, do they have picked up the organization name and the real villain for PU?
Jerry:
Yes and it'll be secret until the game comes out.
And no don't ask me, I won't let the secret out.
