I don’t know how hard this would be to code, but I’d give it a shot.
So Kirk is nerfing the Beginner Band as I type this, and he wants upgrades. So an idea formed in my head: What if you could buy more stuff from the Kecleon Bros. as your Explorer Rank goes up?
What I mean is, when you hit Bronze Rank, there would be an extra item at the shop (Quick Seed?), plus the ‘Bronze Band’ and ‘Bronze Badge’. They would simply be upgrades from the Beginner items, and they’d have to be a little more expensive of course. It could be 300 for the Band, and 500 for the Badge or something. This would also apply for the rest of the Explorer Ranks, with the exp. boost from the Band gaining 1% for every upgrade. This would stop at Master Rank. And there would be 1 extra supply item for every Rank you gain. (think of Seeds, Orbs and Berries. Maybe Big Apples and Max Ethers could be Rank items as well)
So, what do you guys think? Make sure you leave a comment!
