Aside from the slot machines in Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh (idk about Unova, I haven't played through that one yet), the original game at least already promotes "gambling". You get money when you win, you lose a couple dollars when you lose. The only difference between what I'm proposing and the real game is that I'm calling it what it is.. or at least what I choose to see it as.. betting money. I do agree with the first part though, this can be easily be abused but there could probably be a max betting option to prevent winning TOO much money.

I think it would be a great idea if we could bet in-game money, items, Pokemon, first born children, etc on PvP matches. A lot of users seem to have way more money than they know what to do with anyway, so what better way to spend it than to make your battles a little more interesting? Maybe it can just be added onto the usual battle options menu that comes up when challenging someone.. probably with a max/match/decline bet option as well.. And maybe somehow we can bet on tournaments e are spectating much like how Super Smash Bros does. What y'all think?
