I was just thinking in most MMORPG's they have a loot function. A way this could be applied to PU and quests would be to have quest that when are accepted centain pokemon start to hold items. For example say there was a quest where some wild mankey have been stealing goods from the local town and u accept the quest to get them back. After you accept the quest mankeys in the local area will start to be holding these items. Then to collect them back you will have to either catch them or use moves like thief. Doing this could allow some pretty good loot to be found and would be a different quest compared to go out and catch x amount of pokemon y, because later in the game you wouldn't have to catch them anymore.

Well this is true i just thought it was a good idea to have the two areas to add to the feel of a MMORPG

Just an idea but we could have PvP and PvE areas.

Like make the starting areas PvE so even if high level trainers come in they cant just own all new players. As you get further in the game you would have PvP areas where if you see another trainer you have to fight regardless of level. This could also work with rare pokemon by having them located in PvP areas thus player will have to take the risk of defeat to get a good team.

I always liked the animations because it gave the feel that it was a battle in the world of pokemon and not just a press a button something happens kind of game. (even though that is what it really is)

Anyway i would prefer animations.
