Re-Battle Ability

[Delano]

I have no idea if this has been mentioned yet, but I believe that one of the main things lacking in the previous generations was the ability to re-battle trainers.
For example, in gen 2, you were only able to re-battle if you received a phone call from the trainer, as somewhat of a challenge.
This was pretty inconvenient, then in future generations they introduced the battle seeker.
Some sort of battle seeker should be implemented into the game, whether it be the same as in gen 3+ or completely different, I think something should be added to the game.

I totaly agree with you. It would be great if you could implement a battle seeker in one of the next updates. It would be sad if you only could battle a trainer once.

Not an actual pokemon game but related: in the WoW pet battle system you can rebattle some of the trainers once a day for a bag that contains random pet related stuff and some money. I'd love the ability to rebattle all the key trainers. For example, you go up the top of sprout tower with a party of new pokemon you want to raise because you're sick of walking around in grass, you talk to the elder and he offers to let you test you and your pokemon's ties again. this could be locked to once a day like the apricorns, if you talked to him again he would say he must rest or something. Without limit you could get lots of money probably. It could also not give money etc if you brought in pokemon that were too high level for it to be anything but a pushover, too

I think all trainers should be re-battleable and they should be setup like the VS. Seeker where after certain events have happened ingame, rebattling causes them to have higher leveled Pokemon.

On the Gen 5 games the strongest trainers are rebattleable (is that a word?) You can battle Cynthia, the game creators and stuff like that.
I didn't know about the Vs.Seeker, i thought you could only re-battle elite 4, so I don't know how that works. It sounds good if you can re-battle trainers. But if it 'resets' the trainers so when you walk past them they battle you again that could get annoying, so you should have to initiate the battle.

Best idea be you can re-battle NPC after 2 weeks, except Gym Leaders

Why not gym leaders? If you're worried about the rewards, just have rebattles not give all the rewards like TMs

 

[Thunderhoof]

But you have to talk to them to rebattle. Otherwise it would suck. Cause you have to fight every Bug Catcher on your way....

Because it's common for me and for any PWO player. Than be easier in game, if we can re-battle Gyms after win, because we can rise Pokemon faster. By that way after win and wait 2 weeks for re-battle NPC need become little stronger. If we loose to NPC we can re-battle any time.

Then make trainers not rebattlable immediately and put a cooldown on challenging each trainer (a day, 2 weeks, whatever). it'd be easy to prevent abuse

Exactly

Well then gym leaders would work then, wouldn't they?

You want to know what about NPC in Gyms, if I understand you perfect. They are normal NPC too, so they need same cooldown

No, I'm saying there's no reason why a rebattling system couldn't allow you to redo gyms, including gym leaders. I reckon there should be a cooldown for all of them if this goes in.

If system only can do for all NPC that, then let it be
