Trainer Progression

Gym: Spend Energy to raise Strength, Agility, Guard, or Labour. Higher Will improves gains.
Pokemon School: Pay tuition and Will once, wait the listed days, then receive permanent trainer-stat rewards. Advanced courses need levels and prerequisites.
Your Job: Meet Strength, Labour, and IQ requirements. Daily reset pays wages, trainer EXP, and rank stat gains.
Town Missions: Spend Brave for money, items, crystals, trainer EXP, or Pokemon rewards. Read requirements and success chance before attempting.
Travel: Higher trainer levels unlock towns with stronger wild Pokemon, missions, shops, and activities.

Pokemon Systems

Pokemon Farm: View your collection, choose an active Pokemon, inspect details, and manage your team.
Pokemon Hunting: Search the current town for wild Pokemon. Encounter species and levels depend on location. Shiny odds follow the same rarity as main-series Generation 6+ games.
Pokemon Center: Recover injured or fainted Pokemon before another battle.
Battle Tent: Fight NPC trainers. Each round consumes Will; losses do not hospitalize your trainer.
Player Battles: Need an active healthy Pokemon, at least 1 Energy, and a valid target in the same town. Wins can grant trainer and Pokemon EXP.
Evolution: Eligible Pokemon evolve through level or required evolution items.
