Design a leveling mechanism

[dlrocker]

Need to determine how we want to be able to level up the pokemon. Perhaps if you can "trade" excess pokemon of a species you own to grant exp or levels to another pokemon you own of that species.

Example: Suppose you have 3 Charmander's. You could "trade" or give up 2 of them to get 2 exp (or 2 levels?) to use on your remaining Charmander. You would not, however, be able to use that exp on your Pikachu (not saying this has to be the case, but this is just one idea).

Just need to design the mechanics of how we want this to work that allows the users to level up the pokemon. The challenge I see here is being able to give the user a way to level up the pokemon without making it on of the following extremes:

• impossible without grinding/high pokemon spawn rates
• way to easy to making levels functionally meaningless (and therefore not rewarding)

@Jac0bDeal mentioned that this could be done instead by activity in the channel (he said this is how pokecord did it). So more active you are, more levels. I think it would also be nice to give exp through battles.
