Introduction to Venture

Venture is a PokéJobs-inspired system where players can send their Pokemon away on timed jobs to earn rewards. Pokemon are temporarily unavailable while on a venture and return to the PC when complete.

What is Venture?

Venture allows players to send Pokemon from their party or PC on time-limited jobs. While away, Pokemon are unavailable for battles or other activities. When the venture completes, Pokemon return to the player’s PC along with earned rewards.

How It Works

Browse Ventures: Players open the venture GUI to see available jobs
Select Pokemon: Choose which Pokemon to send (based on venture requirements)
Start Venture: Pokemon are sent away for the specified duration
Wait: Pokemon are unavailable while the venture is active
Complete: When time expires, Pokemon return to PC with rewards

  # Requirements for the venture
  requirements = ["return true;"]

  # Requirements for each Pokemon
  pokemon_requirements = [
    "return q.pokemon.level >= 20;"
  ]

  # Rewards when complete

    {
      type = "currency"
