You know of the Pokedex...now introducing the TrainerDex

Wouldn't it be good if we could fight Gym Masters at gyms and when we beat each one it shows up in our list of Masters in the TrainerDex?

There needs to be more reason to battle gyms. Capture the flag just doesn't work, so remove that element and have gyms as exhibitions where the "best trainers from all over the world come to show off their skills".

There could be 50 CPU trainers that you have to find and beat in gyms to begin with, but Niantic could continue adding more and more.

Gym Masters remain in a gym for 1 day and each victory you earn gives you 10 Pokecoins. RNG dictates that some trainers may remain elusive to some players for a long time.

When the game was first announced, I thought that's what they would do with gyms... like in the cartoon. You earn badges after winning. Like a RPG side quest. You can choose to play or don't.

So why didn't Niantic do this?
And why has the game died out with a Capture the Flag game mode that nobody cares for?

It's not died out in my area - the odd gym lasts a few days, but most change hand several times a day, and you're getting a lot of new faces. Strange how different the game can be in different areas.
