This really makes you feel like a magma grunt. Because most trainers overpower you (like in the main game) because in the main game magma grunts are really weak and have about 2 to 4 pokemon, and you feel like a magma grunt just moves just don't make sense and rng feels like it's bullying you cuz... Your bad.
I feel like a karma mechanic would be cool.
Like karma points. If it's low like 1- 20, rng won't bully you. If it's like 30-50, Rng will bully you like bit and battles are slightly harder, etc. I think it would be cool like you can get different endings with the amount of karma points you have (not stealing, Doing Quests, stuff that might appear).
This is only my idea I am fine being bullied by rng and stuff it will make me feel sad but make me grind more. good luck.
And rage.
