The Battle Tower is where it's at: it's one of the few places that provides repeatable content, and it's a great place to get evolution items, training equipment, and useful moves among other things. Unfortunately, to get there, you'll need 16 badges; and you'll need to have competitive viable Pokemon to consistently earn Battle Points, so it's not for everyone. That is a shame for new players who could really use some of those items.

That's why I'm here making suggestions involving Battle Points:
New ways to earn BP:
Weekly quests:

Some examples would be:
- Catch 2 Tier3 Pokemon
- Catch X Pokemon of a certain type
- Catch [a Pokemon] on [an early Route] and train it to level 35
- Catch a (non-shiny) Pokemon with at least X IVs
- Faint X Pokemon
etc.

You can get and turn in your tasks at an NPC in a strategically placed location
Task 1 (25 BP)
Task 2 (25 BP)
Task 3 (25 BP)
Complete all tasks (25 BP)

BP for progressing in the story:
30 BP for beating Blue
30 BP for beating Clair
40 BP for beating the champion

BP for battling other players (max 50 per week):
5 BP for winning a (random) battle
2 BP for losing a (random) battle

New place for exchanging BP:
Vacant Limited Quantity store in the Department stores.

New ways to spend BP:
Berries
- 15 BP for 5
We already have EV increasing items, so why not EV decreasing items?
Pokedollars - 30 BP for 15k
Basically just for new players in need for money.
Event Voucher - 800 BP (only 1 available (per player) every two months)
Vouchers are hard to get ahold of; and we can't expect every event to distribute half a dozen of them.
Psuedo MS (1/4096 + 10% more exp. for 7 days) - 350 BP (only available during events)


I know this all might be a bit laborious, perhaps a bit complicated or somewhat too progressive, Anyways, thank you for having read at least parts of it and having formed an opinion on whatever I've said.
Feel free to leave any sort of reply.

This is a nice idea :)
so, unfortunately, that means it will likely be ignored :/
But hey, let's hope for the best :D

I really like this. Battle points/items are pretty essential but the only efficient way to get them is to spam custom battles, which is pretty boring, IMO. There's a set payout with no chance for luck. And it means you can't be doing what you want, in my case hunting shinies. It'll be really good for new players to be able to earn/redeem BPs before they're done the 16 gyms.
