[Denied] Challenge Mode

[Suggestion] Challenge Mode

 

This is a pretty simple suggestion, introduce the "Challenge Mode" (Higher trainers pokémon level, better AI, etc) from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. But instead, you can choose this before you start the game, and well, for people that has ended the game, just ask them which mode would they want. (For example, for the people that beats the Elite Four.)

This gives an exp advantage to those who choose challenge mode - higher level Elite Four = more exp and therefore faster leveling. It would just make the game unbalanced given that it's a competitive environment. Things need to be the same for everyone (not counting donator benefits).

It could be done without the EXP boost. Would definitely add re-playability to players who aren't into the PvP scene yet.

The primary concept of modes is to breathe back life into a game you might have gotten bored of - especially single player play, because it's the same unchanging experience.

This does not convert well into an MMO environment, as there are multiple other players playing at the same time, and content is designed to be dynamic and is updated as the game progresses.

If players wish to change their playstyle, they can handicap themselves, or start anew, without even touching their first account.

 

I understand why a change to gameplay might be appealing, however it seems silly to me to specifically to create modes for a game that is designed to be played in a mass multiplayer environment.

 

Especially when (as mentioned above), it might cause damage to the standard gameplay that we are supposed to be supporting.

 

On a separate note: We will likely be providing competitive players with additional ways of practicing or testing their ability against advanced NPCs or their friends, so there should not be a lack of gameplay in that department.
