I remember when I was 7 or 8 and I had pokemon blue to start. Just playing and playing and then it got me to get all of the other games as well red,yellow and so on. My play style has changed because I actually think about a strategy or even my team in general to build because I am older and I just think that way.

lol, i have been on the site for a while, but just not always on it. but thank you Domino. :p

Welcome to PU, enjoy your time to get close to the community.

Yeeep someone needs to move this. but welcome to PU!

Yeah I agree, its been in the games and should be implemented into the PU

Welcome to PU new trainers!

Phew. Topics move fast around here. (Or maybe I'm just slow...)

I was actually just thinking about this the other day after reading the newest posts in the other Gym Leader thread. It's like you guys here always know what is on my mind. I consider that a good thing. Anyway, to answer your question, I'm for a wait period in which a player cannot challenge a Gym Leader again. My thought was around ~2 hours. This gives them ample time to go train, learn, try out some new combinations, but without being overly annoying. (If you ask me.)

It also stops one, crucial thing; power leveling. There would be, unless we did something odd like giving  you no experience, no way to stop someone from power leveling their Pokemon by just losing over and over again while still accumulating experience. Trust me. People would do this; in fact, I can guarantee it would happen unless we impose some form of limit to Gym Battles.

The battles are already going to be hard, to stop people from breezing through them. I'll make sure of that myself. (Talent trees, IV's, and movesets if you will.) So, I can pretty much assue you that, unless you know what you are doing, the Gym Leaders aren't going to be anything like in the handheld games. I think people will enjoy it more this way. C/D that with me, but would you really want an MMO you can beat in like a week?

Another thing I think is that, once you beat a Gym Leader, there will be a wait period before you can challenge the next one. One to two days, at the most. Again, some people might see this as a drag, but with seventeen gyms, this will add a lot of playability while giving you incentive to explore and try other things out.

I think I started to ramble, lol, but I hope that answers your question. That's what I intend with PU, and I'll bring it up when we come to it.

Going to agree with everything except the no exp from gym battles. Then that would mean wild battles and other trainer battles EXP have to be raised right?
