Pokemon Fragments

[Lord Windos]

Well, if your going that route for the thief, you would have to find some alternate method of progression for the PC. A thieves guild does sound like a good idea, and a linear mission system (Or multi, if your up to the task) would serve the task of move along the plot and main character. The problem of ditching the gym system, and doing that instead, is that you would essentially have to create an entirely new story just for the Robber/Thief profession, putting a lot of work and time into something players might not ever bother getting to. If they do, then depending on how well the main campaign is, it might detract from its quality by comparison. Or if you really put a lot of hard work into it, make the main camp. look bad, which would make them question why all that work put into a mode for one profession was not put into the entire product. Plus, some people could be turned off by a route that goes contrary to series standards.

Those are my two cent. What do you think.
