That's actually a really cool idea! I think making it a cosmetic reward to strive for would be fun for a lot of players.

If we limit wild access, does that extend to the nether? With 1.16 coming in the near future, new nether materials will be in high demand.

The wild safari is a cool idea.

With everything said, would it require current inventories being reset, as there's already instability in the market?

I think the nether could potentially stay on the main map, as it isn't directly tied to the acquisition of diamonds or other goods used in basic progression. I would prefer it is put as a feature of the wild and is left unused for the main map, just for the sake of consistency, although I will admit that is purely a personal preference.

Wild safari could be a lot of fun, in my opinion. Or at least gating entry behind some sort of in-game currency or time limit so players cant become too reliant on using it as their de facto form of progression.

I would imagine resetting inventories would be a smart idea, although I know a lot of people may have an issue with that.

Pokemart shops have always been a scam. You can easier get the material in the wild. It's hard to keep an economy when money keeps entering and circulating,  but never leaves.

I don't think there's an issue with houses. Either save up to buy a nice big house, or buy a cheap one near the start and then save up for later.

On the housing, I suppose that's fair. I do think that the mid-higher end houses are still atrociously priced though. Especially for the grind necessary.

As for the market/wild, I think that you hit the problem I have with it on the head. I seriously think having the wild be something that impacts the progression/acquisition of goods on the main map is a serious problem for the longevity of the server. Because at that point why not just play on an SMP server? So fixing the market and making it either a competitive alternative to the wild or self-sufficient enough to be able to make the wild optional is the right way to go, in my honest opinion.

If it dissuades any fears of it really taking a toll on players with bad computers, I've been running it for a couple of months now and it is incredibly lightweight. Also optional.

I've never once had an issue with anyone not being able to use it or having a bad performance because of it, even with the most potato of my staff/playerbase.

We had ijukebox. It wasn't browser based, it used an inventory based GUI, and was a pain to trigger the songs to play.

Ohh. Being browser based does limit who can utilise the plugin. Certainly not those with potatoes.

There is a daily vote system that functions like the log in. While online, vote for the server and you get vote tokens. they help buy some items throughout the map and some event stuff as well (like the rotom key!)

I did suggest the idea of having something like Illagers go and attack random towns that could function like a mass raid. Of course I would prefer it to be town accessible during the mid game so people can still roam around and choose to avoid it should they be poorly equipped or would rather not fight.

Something like that for Goldenrod would make sense to the story of GSC, with the city getting taken over at one point. I think that's an interesting idea. There could be a chat alert like "Team (enter team name here) is taking over (town name)!!!"

These would be possible without being a risk for non-participants.

This is really an extension on quests, though with a potential money reward. The hardest thing will be balancing rewards based on how many nodes there are.

Players should not lose gym badge progression from dying, whether a silly mistake or a PvP kill. If we can add a set "PP" for each move that requires some sort of recharge, it could work. No recharging at a Pokemon centre, but a special item (elixir) that will recharge the special move. It could be bought with vote tokens, or earned by defeating certain "tough" mobs. MagicSpells would definitely need some serious balancing regardless.
