"[Discussion] NPC Battles Would Bring Back Casuals and Bolster Current Player Base"

#PokemonGO: If they're going to draw any inspiration from the original games, NPC battles would be a great content addition. Especially if the difficulty of each respective Pokémon were comparable to a Tier 1 raid boss.All the varying Pokémon Trainers from the games would incentivize players to train certain types that just aren't very popular in the current meta; for example, people would actually want/boost Moltres, Charizards, or Typhlosions for battles with a Bug Catcher. While electric already has a few decent ones, I feel Swimmer might push a bit more love toward certain grass Pokémon.This can apply to any number of examples, since lots of those NPC teams were based on typing. Blackbelt, rocker, psychic, hiker, bird catcher, etc.Thoughts? via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2wUauXK
