1) Swim Trunks.
In order to cut down on HM Slave-age, how about around maybe the 2nd gym city or something an instructor tells you about swimming and then gives you swim trunks so you can just go in the water instead of needing an HM slave for surf? or at least make surf go a little faster. thats the thing i hated about D/P, surf goes so slowly. Anyway, maybe the ruling could be that in lakes and rivers or w/e, you can swim, but on sea routes you have to surf.
2) Riding Pokémon.
Instead of needing to have a bike that you magically pull out of nowhere, what about having the ability to call out a large pokémon and then ride on its back? Obviously, getting on a Rapidash is going to be faster than getting on your Regirock. This might eliminate the need for surf. I know surf is the water version of Flamethrower and Thunderbolt. Im not saying get rid of the move, just the hm. Also let's say you decide to ride your Pidgeot. a) you could go to a whole new sky place or b) you could do this instead of having an HM for fly.
3) Poké-er
Another way to gamble! Yay! Instead of slots and roulette, what about Poker or Blackjack? Probably blackjack b/c less variables.
4) Tourney-Style pokémon league.
What about if instead of crossing Victory Road, land of horrible-ness, instead there's a 3 round tourney that decides who gets to face the l33t 4. Each time you go, the number of rounds increases (1 more round each time until you get to 7) and so do the pokémon's levels as would the l33t 4's, but maybe only by like 5 levels every 10 times.
