"[Idea] Challenge Gyms"

#PokemonGO: Every gym gets another tab, which has a static persistent challenge.For Example, a gym has 6 Ghost pokemon, at set levels, to beat with your team of 3.Something persistent gives you time to build a team for that specific challenge. It's satisfying to finally get a Psy/Dark team strong enough to win the ghost gym.Challenges could be varied, from a standard "beat these 6 pokemon" to reduced timers, Level caps (encourage clever pokemon choice instead of bringing a tyranitar to a pichu fight), 10vs1 etc...This encourages a broader collection of pokemon/movesets, for specific jobs.Tied in with the Bronze/Silver/Gold etc.. tiers to encourage Raiding/battling at these gyms to unlock harder challenges.Some could be extremely hard, some easier. But the key here would be variety in the types of battles you play.It would encourage visiting more areas of your town, and not just the same spots. And when more people visit different gyms, that stimulates the existing gym meta in your area.I remember playing Silver (My entry to pokemon) and spending happy hours training to beat the dragon gym, and i'd love to have that kind of experience again. Something to work towards in the game, except just generally more High CP pokemon and stumbling across the rares I haven't got yet. Raid battles did this partly for me; I would try and build a team to counter the upcoming 4*... but the real reason for success or failure was having a 20 or a 3 man team... and the high level nature of those raids isn't the same as interesting, technical, varied challenge gyms.Do you like the idea? What challenges would you like to play? (brutally downvote first guy to say 6 Chanseys please) via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2nHj8F2
