Store state in a db or cache (maybe redis?) for scalability purposes

Go through code and mongo operations to better optimize queries. Some ideas:

• Using findOne, updateOne, etc.
• Using projection when possible
• Minimizing read/write amount
• Better utilization of atomic operations
• Bulk operations
• Replace instead of update

Add gacha banners with rate-ups and pity

Comment code and update design doc with proper documentation

Make a way to remove EVs or train them at smaller increments (possibly both)

Add commands to view Pokemon, Item, Move info

Start using PM2

Consider refactoring commands as category => subcommand once we get to ~40 slash commands

Put a tutorial with gifs and stuff in the README

Add server/all leaderboards for money, exp, combat power, etc.

Add a long description to all commands that will be displayed with help <command>.

Battle frontier maybe

Add fields that may be useful for sorting or trivia. Some ideas:

• IV total
• Rarity
• Date acquired
• Original owner

Make a way to change equipment between Pokemon

Deal with components whose state has expired.

Implement Pokemon EXP training, including purchasable training locations for EV training.

Consider reworking training as such:

• Earn Idle rewards based on location => get rare candy dust, vitamins, money
• Use rare candy dust, rare candies, vitamins to train Pokemon
• Purchase these items from the shop as well

Make IDs mobile compatible by including the ID in a message.

Revamp help command to be more interactive

May be worth doing a rarity rework

Go through a bunch of pokemon and try to buff the weak ones

Add flags to message commands & better command parsing

If possible, implement feedback on failed component interactions

Allow items to be bought directly from the shop

Possibly make errors (and maybe other messages) ephemeral to reduce spam

Implement a shiny chance and shiny sprites

Lock pokemon to prevent release

Implement rewards for leveling up, and a claim command to claim all level rewards.

Implement a shop that sells pokeballs, evolution items, and progression advancers. Also implement a money system

Probably a good idea

• Only give trainer exp when a command succeeds
• Give exp for certain interactions (such as confirming an interaction)

Refactor config such that config lies in the data directory, which should be a submodule
