"Game Corners: A Single Player Progression System ("

#PokemonGO: [Fan Concept]In classic Pokemon Games there is a place called "The Game Corner." There you can play various casino games for a chance to win currency which can be exchanged for valuable prizes. I think such a concept would fit perfectly in Pokemon GO!Game Corners could act as traveling circuses or carnivals in Pokemon GO! They could either spawn randomly like raids over Stops or Gyms, or they could just appear on the map and open and close at preset times like a real casino/carnival.A Game Corner on the MapOnce you're in range you can interact with the Game Corner. It'll ask you for an Admission Pass which you can either collect once a day, bought in the store. Once they accept your pass the clock will begin ticking and you'll have that much time to enjoy the Game Corner. Once inside you'll enter a menu with a list of available mini-games. Many of these games would use PoGO's existing code to allow Niantic to easily develop them without too much headache.Pidgey's Target Test A game where you flick a ball at as many moving targets as you can. Smaller and more distant ones net you more points. Curve balls net you big bonus points. Consecutive hits give you more and more points as well. This game could help improve accuracy when catching tricky Pokemon as well.Diglett's Hole in One Toss balls into the holes in front of you, but be careful. If you see a cloud of dirt a Diglett will emerge and block your shot. This game also might be better in the reverse sense, where the goal is to play Whack a Mole with heavy balls that you toss at Digletts. This game tests your understanding of PoGO's depth of field.Poke'Match Flip A basic 2-matching game. Try to find two matching Pokemon by flicking Pokeballs at the floating flip puzzle pieces.Rhyperior's Rocks that Roll An action based game that uses the battle system's dodging mechanic. Your Pokemon stands there and must dodge right/left or stand still to avoid Rhyperior's boulders that he shoots from his palms. Watch which arms he holds up to know which way to dodge.Another possible game (that I didn't make a graphic for) is a racing game where you're tasked with spinning a nearby PokeStop and then running back to the game corner within a timelimit. I wanted to include something that doesn't involve burying your head in your phone and gets you up and moving like this game should be doing.Doing well in these games will net you Tickets similar to how an arcade works. These tickets can be cashed in at a prize counter for rare Pokemon like Porygon, and TMs as well. This is a reference to how these rare items were obtained in the original games. Many Pokemon were simply rare trophies to be won at the Game Corner, which is why they were commonly not fit for battle. In Pokemon GO this could be an alternative way to obtain rare Raid-only Pokemon that solo-players cannot get.Niantic has been very unambitious with new features for a while. Most new features are just small new things to watch out for when playing with existing systems (like Lucky Pokemon) and I'd like to see something BIG like Raids be added to this game. There could also be Co-op mini-games down the line perhaps to help with the social aspect, but I wanted to focus on providing some fun stuff for people who aren't lucky enough to have busy towns.Anyways, that's it! If you have any suggestions on how to perfect such a feature, I'd love to hear it. Thanks! via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2OVON5V
