trainer battles

[samd]

What if there were trainers in random routes (not towns) that fight you like the trainers in gyms and give you maybe the kind of items you give from lootball or some cash, and if you lose they take some cash (unless you dont have cash XD) and the farther away they are from 0,0 the higher level pokemon they have, so for instance if there was a trainer at 20,-9 for instance, it would probably have a level 100 team. and the rewards would get bigger the better the trainer, with the trainers in the corners of the map having perfect iv ev trained lvl100 pokemon, and they would drop a venusaurite or something.
I think this would give a reason for og players to actually go back and re-explore the map

AWESOME IDEA!

once upon a time there were close to 100 NPC trainers across the map, but a map regen deleted them all. i could add some again, but it's a lot of work for minimal return. even NPCs with level 100 poké (which is the only thing that can be set- can't set EVs, IVs, or moves) are ridiculously easy to defeat, and the rewards from singular NPCs can only be money. chained NPCs or ones that would give other rewards from post-battle dialogues are theoretically possible, but as we've seen from the recent halloween and other events, the code for them doesn't always work for everyone.
