Do the rom hack right.

  • Toll roads everywhere. Paid each time you enter.
  • Pokemart is a monopoly and gouges you.
  • Arceusism is the state religion and others are barely tolerated.
  • Gyms are privatized and cost per attempt.
  • Pokemon sweatshops.
  • PC access is a freemiun model where you get the first 5 for free, but beyond that you have to pay for Pokestorage+ and pay monthly. Also pokes come out hating you so pretty sure they getting abused. And occasionally pokes get lost.

Cost per attempt? Gyms require an annual membership fee, and good luck ever canceling

Pokémon Sweatshops

I think that was literally a plot point in one of the earlier games or anime? That one will be easy to adapt, just make Team Rocket the heroes for being shrewd businesspeople and you the villain for daring to question the will of the free market.
