Hey all! I figured now would be a good time to start talking about little new features.
So I don't know about how any of you play the official Pokemon Games, but when I am in the gym I try to aviod as many trainers that aren't the Gym leader as possible. Well I decided to add a feature to Iridium to deture this type of action.
The Gym Points Feature
In the game you have to register for the IRIHO POKeMON LEAGUE, in the POKeMART in TREEFAR CITY, well when you register you also will be given a special card, call the Point Card.
For every non-leader trainer you defeat in a gym, you will be awarded one point. Every gym now has a basement floor where you can redeem your gym points.
The prizes will included things like TMs, Special Items, Hard to find Items, and even POKeMON.
The Trainer Points Feature
Later in the game,(Near NUSTONE CITY, the third gym), you will somehow come across another points card, this time for normal route trainers. Only trainers from that point forward in IRIHO will award points.
These points work the same way as Gym Points, except they will be redeemable only in NUSTONE CITY.
The prizes will be less valuable since normal trainers are in such abundance. You can win TMs, and Special/Hard to find Items, and Evolution Stones.
I think these are nice little features to show more awards to those who take the time to defeat trainers, other than their Pokemon getting stronger.
Sincerely,
Minor
