Even still using the "Gyms" format, there have been many ideas thrown around in the past about how to make them more interesting, and different.

The most popular one I've heard of is each gym focusing on different competitive strategies, like a stall gym, a stat boosting gym, a doubles gym, a Trick Room gym, etc. Of course, the problem with this is the developers would actually have to pay attention to how the game is played competitively, which they don't, so they would have no idea how to implement this, which is why the idea wouldn't work. They 1/2 arsed this idea before by having a gym where everyone is programmed to start the battle with a stat boosting item. It's funny that of all the strategies the game went out of it's way to try to demonstrate, it was winning against your AI opponent by being richer then them and using items they can't.

I think those could be fun. That said, I'm not really a competitive player. I just enjoy the single player stuff. Which is why I think it would be cool to add cool stuff to single player...
