Agreed, I do not want each gym the same, each one should be under slightly different circumstances and give the PC a different experience. Just as an example scenario say you needed cut to continue on your way I figured the PC would do something reckless as to attempt to steal it from a gym since they are not experienced at this kind of thing they get caught end up fighting the first gym leader anyway (Do to the first gym always being the easiest around lvl 8-12ish with only like 2 or 3 Pokemon to fight) that being said a good foreshadow that if they get caught they may have to fight giving the PC a heads up to still be building up their Pokemon or failing and redoing it.
Its a set up to fail (Even though you clumsily succeed) to escape with your prize at I was thinking at that point as you leave you are approached by a grunt of one of these groups that begins the (example) "Hey, that was pretty ballsy. If your interested in something that is guaranteed to have a higher pay off come find me and my buddies over at (Insert Place)." etc. Giving a new PC time to get used to the game as fighting, healing, catching Pokemon, before the story takes its left turn into the Crime story line. I dunno something of that nature.
Now to address the special condition battles and things of that nature I can see where that can be obnoxious so maybe on fights like those it could be a optional task for a frustrating and difficult objective without punishing the PC if they cannot do it and then come to a grinding halt. I would like to incorporate challenging missions but they should not completely impact your progression should the PC just want to continue through the main story line. I have to assume that the Thief/Robber profession would have some utility Pokemon to 'Get the job done.' so to say were they might not always need to keep them on their main team a certain job or task may require them to use just sneaky tactics to complete their goal.
(Rant Time: Kind of like some fights where you need cut or flash or waterfall and swim or all of them! then it immediately throws you into a huge cut scene fight. Those are frustrating ha!)
Family ties... I will have to make sure I don't brush those aside. Good story drives immersion. I am curious though if working out doing small jobs first what kind do you mean? Anyway I'm out for now I will be back later, I await to hear back on any of these subjects. I'll probably post a rough (rough) sketch of the Island, Land, Region at some point soon. -Laughs-
