Game Modes and Battle Types

[frutescens]

I wanted to start a discussion about this since I think having a list of game modes and battle types we want to implement would help us determine the game's direction and determine how moves/abilities/items should work.

In addition to the main story mode, which includes 'Classic' and Challenges, what other game modes and battle mechanics should we add?

Game Mode Improvements:
Customized Dailies

Potential Game Modes:

• Research Missions
• Battle Factory
• Battle Arcade (Would have to adjust starting mechanics or let players store certain Pokemon) Bulbapedia Link: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Battle_Arcade
• Contest Mode?

Potential Battle Types:

• Triple Battles? (Would require an overhaul of how the game currently handles targets + would have to add mechanics to Post Gen VI moves)
• Rotation Battle

Would we want;

1. Consecutive transitions within one wave, potentially for something like sub-biomes or mid-wave Boss gauntlets,

• This could probably be done by simply not incrementing the wave number

3. Wild -> Trainer, Trainer -> Wild, or Trainer -> Trainer within one wave, potentially for a unique final boss fight?
