Hard mode

make healing at a Pokemon centre a paid service, Boxed pokemon either do not heal or heal based on steps taken :^)

Then you could end up stuck if you're out of money, or forced to walk around until shit heals. Just a pointless timesink. Doesn't make the game harder, just more punishing.

The Pokémon regions joined the rest of the civilized world with universal single payer healthcare. If we went to a paid service Big Pokemart would dictate prices and drive up costs.

>you can only use as many Pokemon as they do

Agree with everything but this.
Especially people not getting that adding grinding/tedium to the game isn't really difficulty.

>>32956247
Because money is so hard to get in Pokemon.

Single-payer health care for Pokémon. There's barely any indication that health care for humans exists, much less is free.

>>32956394
That's pretty much the point, anon. Humans are second class citizens compared to Pokémon in the Pokémon world.

Also can't use items in trainer battles

>Nuzlocke rules
>Set battle style
>No items in battle
>Progress based Level-cap
>Only use as many Pokemon as your opponent does

If you wanna get extra spicy, additional challenges can be added on top, like
>Mono-type
>mono-color
>no evolutions/everstone on everything
>no hold items
>no items, period

>nuzlocke rules
>permanent death
What part of "not just grinding" don't you understand?

The level cap prevents just grinding
