(already posted this a year ago but never got to explaining the entire concept)

Basically You would gain a Pickaxe I picture it by the mermaid finding it on the beach or a shadowy figure giving it to you on the tab where its located.

After you get a pickaxe you can go mining and lose energy(like fishing[I don't think those two energies should be linked tho])

During mining you encounter wild pokemon that attack you which, to beat them, you play a fun little minigame!
Maybe something like candy crush and where the space to connect (insert thing here) get big/smaller based on the level of the encountered pokemon.

Pickaxe leveling:
Not unlike the fishing rods in fishing you can get better pickaxes.some ways that could happen: certain gems amount, Pokemon Beaten, or minerals(i'll explain later). Better pickaxes can expand to more pokemon you can beat and more items you can find, probably starting at evolution items then a small chance at summoning items and small amounts of nuggets

Minerals: (not required for my idea especially since it would take alot of time)
maybe a new item for pickaxe creating like special gemstones like topaz(and other ones that aren't summoning items) We could also use this for specialized trades

Special tasks:
Maybe the "shadowy figure" I mentioned a little bit ago could give us tasks (maybe 1 a day so the economy doesn't exploded) on different difficulties we could choose like easy could be defeat 3 zubats while extreme be defeat 150 pokemon,each difficulty up increasing in rewards but also in difficulty.I feel like we would either need tasks or special trading to make it complete.
*might add more things later*
Additional things:


another way this could work
A 3rd brother (from the ones in galar) came to live in Emera town
He would give us a pickaxe and once a day and/or a special fee we could mine.
We would do a minigame about a minute long and could earn fossils (maybe the new fossil mon as well :3) , evolution items, amounts of Pd etc.

Easier but less entertaining

Thoughts on either/both?

I love this idea, Nd always like to see new mini game suggestions. Tho I am a bit confused with the encountering Pokémon thing, and could you elaborate on what that would be like?

It would just be at random like walking in any caves in regular pokemon game(except more often)
Is that what your confused on?

Oh, would it be like the mining game in sin oh but with random Pokémon encounters too?

1) don’t bump your posts the same day you make it. it’s spam.
2) we already have ways to get the items you might get from mining (fossils, summon items, etc) so no support.

This could be fun, but we already have rumbling, fishing, etc...

I feel like this is a pretty cool idea, but we already have rumble missions and stuff and theres other ways to get the stuff you could get from mining
