How to balance the settings for an experience close to pkmn Legends?

Hi,
I really enjoy games where you can capture monsters, but I'm not really a fan of resource management and crafting...
My goal is to have a gameplay experience similar to pkmn Legends (exploring the map to capture Pals), but I don't know how to balance the settings properly (I'm afraid I might end up with too little or too much XP if I change certain things, for example).
Can you help me with that?
Also, if you have any mod recommendations, that would be great. Thanks!
