"[Idea] Implementation of Pokemon Centers (not about giving us free stuff)"


#PokemonGO: TL;DR Pokemon Centers should be sponsored stops (existing or newly sponsored), that you have to stay at for a short time to heal pokemon so that they have value for sponsors and keep the game balanced with value for potions/revives.Here's my idea for how Pokemon Centers might be implemented as a free way to heal pokemon without potions. The common idea is that they will be implemented through "lure" type of item that can be placed into a pokestop to heal your pokemon or that new stops might be added as pokemon centers.The problem: Being able to walk up to a pokemon center and immediately heal everything will create a huge imbalance in game play and completely devalue potions collected from stops as we know them. Niantic needs a way to implement pokemon centers that will benefit them financially, as well as add value to the game.My idea: Niantic should offer sponsored pokemon centers at places where people would want to hangout or where companies want people to hangout (Starbucks, McDonalds, etc.). However, there is little value for the sponsor if all you have to do is pass by to get all of your pokemon healed immediately. There should be some sort of time delay for pokemon healing. One example may be to deposit a pokemon at a pokemon center and it gains 1 hp every second until fully healed. After it's healed, you can put a new pokemon into the center for healing. Only 1 pokemon can be healed at a time. This would make a completely fainted pokemon take about 1-2 minutes to heal and keep us engaged with the game while at the sponsored stop.If the stop was at Starbucks or a fast food place, I suspect that many people would take a "pokemon center break" to get a drink or meal while they healed their pokemon.What do you all think of this possible implementation?edit: added "(existing or newly sponsored)" via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2jwzbFO
