Pokémon GO, the mobile Pokémon app sensation, will be getting a few new features on the iOS platform thanks to its work with Apple’s ARKit Framework.
The three major additions to the new system are:
- Scale: With AR+, Pokémon are now fixed to a point in space, meaning you can walk up close to a Pokémon to see to how they’ll look in the real world. Imagine looking up at a massive Onix or walking around a gigantic Snorlax blocking your path! This feature brings us one step closer to truly realizing Pokémon the way they are supposed to be represented in the real world. Pokémon GO AR photos will never be the same again!
- Awareness: Pokémon will run away if they become aware of the Trainers getting close, so be careful. You can sneak up close to earn an Expert Handler bonus, but think twice before running right up to that Charizard! You’ll need to be extra cautious so you don’t scare it away. An awareness meter will appear next to the Pokémon, and if the meter fills up, the Pokémon will flee. If it does, you can try tapping on the tall grass nearby, which may cause the Pokémon to reappear and give you an additional chance to catch it.
- Expert Handler Bonus: Think you have what it takes to be an expert Pokémon handler? While in AR+ mode, you’ll finally have the chance to prove it! If you’re able to catch a Pokémon while in close proximity, you’ll have a better chance at earning Great and Excellent Throw bonuses, as well as an all-new Expert Handler bonus that awards even more XP and Stardust.
Players using Android and iPhone models older than the 6s are out of luck for now, but Niantic may be able to expand the availability of AR+ in the future.
James turner made shadow Lugia… didn’t know that
Geez I found this “youtuber” called Youngdefient who calls people who love BOTW and Odyssey “idiots and fake gamers” and literally stuck out his middle finger to the games. Plus he says BOTW won “only because of nostalgia”. What a jerkish jerk.
He’s just an edgelord trying too hard to be “grown up”
He’s probably a troll
Probably
Someone who wanted to be edgy and stand out really, there are a lot of these
The only fake gamers are those who only play on one platform.
Is he a scrawny?
dunno
Tbh I wonder what GameFreak would do to separate a potential Mega Greninja from Ash Greninja. I could see them keeping Protean but I wonder what they’d do in terms of design :0
Make it look half decent
Ehh, why would GF give it a mega? Feels out of place considering Ash Greninja is a thing.
So they’d probably change it’s colour palette or make it look like a pure phisical Pkm.
Well because I can I want to say what I think should get Mega’s:
-Golduck
-Johto Starters
-Crobat
-Lanturn
-Politoed
-Slowking
-Forretress
-Donphan
-Sinnoh Starters
-Staraptor
-Luxray
-Vespiqueen
-Mismagius
-Honchkrow
-Drapion
-Weavile
-Mamoswine
-Rhyperior
-Unova Starters
-Zebstrika
-Excadrill
-Leavanny
-Scolipede
-Whimsicott
-Lilligant
-Krookodile
-Scrafty
-Vanilluxe
-Beartic
-Galvantula
-Chandelure
-Haxorus
-Druddigon
-Bisharp
-Kalos Starters
-Florges
-Clawitzer
-Dragalge
-Goodra
-Noivern
-Alola Starters
-Golisopod
-Pallosand
-Oranguru
-Passimian
Oops Forgot Araquanid
Bois
I was trying to make it realistic as only 50 Mega’s come at a time, so far there’s 56 I made
I don’t want a lot of megas but
– Froslass
– Noivern
– Johto Starters
– Delphox
How about all Kalos starters or Chesnaught too, to not do what GF did to Blaziken in Gen.6… Give it something and its other counter parts get nothing
I don’t really want a lot of megas either, the megas I want are for only Pkm that I think would look good with them lol
Flygon too
Aww 🙁
http://www.siliconera.com/2017/12/19/pokmon-seasons-movies-leaving-netflix-january-2018/
Why can’t the Happy Birthday thing go away? I watched and its 1 min. long video that was not very good
Bored, give me an unused type combo and I’ll make an on the spot Fakémon
Ghost/Normal letz go
Buvet (Boo-vay, Boo + Duvet)
Ghost/Normal
The Sheet Ghost Pokémon
Fluffy
A small sheet Ghost made of a patchwork. Its eyes and mouth are each on a patch, and the bumps in the sheet that make their arms are frayed around the ‘wrist’.
Dex Entry
Legend states that the first Buvet was born from a beloved family quilt that was maintained for a hundred years. It’s very extroverted for a Ghost type, openly showing love and affection.
Looks adorable and I’m surprised that you can come up with a name that fast *0*
I don’t quite see it being normal tho 😡
It’s a ghost possessing a quilt, which is a normal thing. Think of it like Phantump possessing a tree and Honedge possessing a sword.
Dark/Fairy
Fire-Grass
Fairy-Fire
An unused, not multiple :p
Oh lol oops i meant to add spaces
Lullahan (Lull/Lulz + Dullahan)
Dark/Fairy
Headless Pokémon
Hustle
An imp like Pokémon that utilises materials to appear headless, such as tucking its head in to armour. It uses this as an intimidation tactic against predators and to surprise passerbys.
Entry
Masters of theatrics, Lullahan use a variety of tricks to hide their heads. However, they continue to do this in battle, which lowers their chance of hitting anything.
Electric/Poison
UB: Battery
Lithirine (Lithium + Flourine, the tow elements that lead to the best kind of battery)
Electric/Poison
The Dead Battery Pokémon
Beast Boost
The best way I can describe it is that it looks like a quadrupled animal kind of like a sitting toad in shape, with many organic cylindrical batteries on its back (like six). As you go down their back, they have more or less ‘crystals’ coming out of them, with the top pair being completely overrun and the bottom pair being totally clean.
Dex Entry:
One of the Ultra Beasts. As it ages, toxic crystals envelop their dying batteries.
Ground/Fairy
Gaidollon (Gaia + Eidolon + Doll)
Ground/Fairy
The Earth Spirit Pokémon
Natural Cure/Cute Charm
A feminine fairy figure that’s actually a floating top half without a bottom, but swirling sand surrounds it which gives it a ‘skirt’. It’s kind of like Florges, Gardevoir, but a bit thicker. Its body looks to be made of the finest clay.
Pokedex Entry
Gaidollon roams the deserts of the world, looking after those stranded in such harsh environments. If it’s not peckish, that is.
Bug/Ice
Flyrri (Fly + Flurry, this ones kinda bad tho :x)
Bug/Ice
Arctic Midge Pokémon
Sturdy/Tough Claws
An Arctic Midge, but its body is covered with ice and the colour is changed to a kind of light teal to blend better with that. It has tiny icy claws at the end of each limb and its wings are tipped with ice.
Entry:
This Pokémon is extremely hardy, and is adapted to living in the coldest places on earth. It has become one with the cold around it.
Electric/Dark
Challenge mode: Can’t be edgy or furry
Stacens
Electric/Dark
The Static Jelly Pokémon
Levitate
A floating jellyfish that rubs its stingers together to create static electricity. It does this because the electricity it produces normally would kill most things on touch.
Entry
It’s believed that this Pokémon adapted to life above land well before its predator Eelektross. In fact, scientists believe that Stacens is the reason for Eelektross’ change of habitat.
Ayyy I like it
Electric/Fighting
for a long time ive been facing conflict. many negative thoughts try to take over my mind set and ruin who I am as a person while these positive thoughts try to face the negative thoughts. after all this time its why im a different person lately. im not an mean person to be mean i just happen to fighting my own battles inside my head and loss all trace of what reality feels like these days. im deeply sorry everyone
Tbf, I didn’t saw you as more mean or anything, more serious maybe but definitely not mean imo, but id ok, is normal to get sometimes angry especially if you’re struggling with personal stuff really
I dunno he’s been definitely more of a turd to me lately
Pot kettle black
but ur a huge turd?
I understand, I don’t blame you
You’re fine Gov, everyone here has had their struggles and we’re all here for you.
Has anyone ever closed and then opened their 3DS while on the home menu with the game still suspended in the background? It plays the Pokemon Center healing sound effect! I’m pretty sure this is new for USUM, I haven’t had that happen before.
On the New 3DS or any 3DS?
I have the SM background theme
do happen to have a pokemon 3ds theme?
Yeah I have the Gold theme, maybe that’s what it is.
yea dummy
Aww. 🙁
well ya know. im a nice goat m’lady i just to like to tease ;3
But that still funny though.
I have the slowpike theme and it does this
If they ever give Milotic a Mega, please don’t be part Fairy.
Reason 1) The only Fairy-type move it gets is Disarming Voice. It doesn’t even get Dazzling Gleam, and Pokedex entries state that its scales shine in brilliant colors that change depending on the viewing angle! >:(
Reason 2) Because of Reason 1, its ability would have to be Pixilate, which limits what abilities it could potentially have.
Reason 3) It knows more Dragon-type moves than Fairy, so if they want to make the Mega part Fairy, they’ll have to create a unique ability that is like Pixilate, but changes Dragon-types to Fairy-type, still limiting the ability choices by being selective.
In short, if it ever gets a Mega Evolution, either it becomes part Dragon, stays the same, or just not get a Mega. Now for Regional Variants on the other hand…
I’d love to see a Pure Dragon-type Milotic or Water/Grass type (it becomes more in-tuned with the aquatic plants in the pond and grows seaweed-like hair or something).
It should stay Pure Water and get Magic Bounce
Update it’s moveset with Calm Mind as well for extra fun.
I mean I don’t really want it to be Fairy either but Ampharos and Necrozma didn’t get any Dragon type moves until their forms happened, and even then they both only have two (one for Ampharos if it doesn’t learn Outrage, I can’t remember)
Well took a half hour, but my rough sketch for the art is done. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/822c86130ec3d13f034834ec4b139069f1f6eeb30e34b49175a3e4d66f63794f.jpg
The Quad (Cosmog, Rowlet, Litwick and Mimikyu) all built a Lickylicky Snowman
I swear first person to say something about Lickylicky being the snowman, is getting a nice Icy Wind to the face
I like the Mimikyu best.
Thank you! I enjoyed adding it because I like giving it blush matks
Creatures inc is posting a job listing for people with experince with Unreal engine 4. look at the image they posted tho :3
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6016123a302f5ad765228e3e3dc77030ad0160a9c0a97c343d5e68033f286088.jpg
That Pikachu looks really cool!
:3
It’s Unreal bae
Imagine if PokéSwitch is coming 2020
Would not be bad
2020?
Just a hypothetical based on how some other successful franchises spread their game releases
Sounds too far away unless they make a ton of small games or big side games to pass the time in
Pokémon fans are truly spoilt
We don’t like to wait for something big (No wonder Pokémon fandoms have lots of salt, if we don’t get a game we rage, if we get a game, but it isn’t perfect we rage)
Yes we are spoiled. There are plenty of game franchises that don’t release yearly and make great games but because Pokémon fans usually play very few games outside of Pokemon, they think that not getting a game yearly is some kind of sin
Not much of a sin, I more would find it a bit upsetting, but within a day would be playing something else I want to again
You could also.. try some new games?
No, I enjoy my Kirby, Yo-kai Watch, Pokémon and small miscellaneous games in between just fine without emptying my pockets even more than I already do
There is so much more out there though? If you want RPGs, there’s Earthbound, Undertale, Stardew Valley
Metroid, Mario and Sonic Mania are fantastic platformers
Portal 1 and 2 are some of the best games ever made taking an FPS and turning it into an insanely clever puzzle game
Zelda is fantastic. I was a bit hesitant to get into it at first but I’m glad I did. BOTW would be an amazing start.
Saying you only play one type of game is dumb. it;s like if you only ever watched action movies and nothing else. You are holding yourself back from having some amazing experiences. My love of gaming blossomed when I started trying new kinds of games
-Earthbound can’t be found on a system I have
-I don’t like shooter games like Metroid (It basically sounds like Call of Duty in a more kid friendly space theme)
-I have no clue what Portal is
And why don’t you ever pester Cascoon about this? He only plays Pokémon and Smash as he tells me?
– Then emulate it.
– Metroid prime is the FPS one but Metroid is a platformer. Either way, you should try it because you clearly don’t actually no what it is. You can’t just say “I dont like shooters”. that’s what i did and because of that i missed out on some great games.
– Of course you dont because you refuse to actually look outside your small circle of games you have decided are the ones you play and nothing else can enter that circle.
And we do tell Cascoon. He has the same problem
I honestly want to play Stardew Valley, Earthbound and a few others. Like Odessy after the demo I played at Walmart. I realize its much easier to control than in the past (Where the first Goomba always killed me, everytime)
They were always easy to control, you just suck at the game because you’re unfamiliar with them.
And that’s the issue. Pokémon fans are spoilt af. Most games have years between main installments and they’re much better and actually have campaigns of a decent length
Pokémon can’t compain for a year tho… by the time the game came out everything will have been spoiled
I honestly would be content waiting for Pokémon Switch, just gives me more time to replay my other games and fish every ounce out of games
Other games manage to have longer release times and not be totally leaked years in advance.
But dude we all know one thing
Know how Star complained about USUM so much and its releasing system? Imagine the whole fanbase starting to turn that way. That’s how fans would react to them revealing a year or 2 in advance and getting nothing in between till a bit before… or getting tiny rid bits in between
So what you’re saying is that the entire fandom are children afraid of change? Because I’m telling you now big changes would have people receiving it positively, negatively, and neutrally, not just negative because you say they would.
I was complaining about USUM for multiple reasons but a major one was that it’s another 3DS game. I would be more forgiving of a Switch game taking a long time to come out than I was of USUM which was preeety pointless
Pokemon Rumble Switch.
Coming soon
BOTW came out 3 years after it was initially revealed and 2 years after the original release date
Two year dry.
Yay.
But I’d take that if the end result end ups being amazing which hopefully it will
This is actually a pretty big deal for them to post a model of Pikachu like that. 2018 or very early 2019 are looking more likely.
I like it, it already looks better than 3DS Pikachu
2018 isn’t happening, or at least is drastically less likely due to the fact Zeraora wasn’t revealed this year. It means it’s being kept as the surprise of the movie, whereas if Gen VIII was in 2018 it would’ve been a Gen 8 Mon or form as the surprise
It’s not impossible but it’s unlikely
For all we know, Zeraora could be Pokemon’s first-ever cross-gen Mythical Pokemon. It’s certainly not likely either, but it’s also not out of the realm of possibility.
I doubt it tbh by the its not impossible
Zeraora could be like a taste of whats coming
Pokemon Ranger confirmed for the switch
If only
I actually want this
We need more of That series
PMD for Switch
this Milotic gets it
Watch it be detective Pikachu 2
Yo, what if we get a Stadium/Revolution-esque game for the Switch?!
GF, please hire me! I GOT IDEAS!!
Why tho
Wynaut?
I’m watching game grumps play Doki Doki Literature Club and it’s so damn boooooorring…
Why does this game have such a big following?
the dark lore behind it
I know there’s some dark twist but I’m like an hour in and NOTHINGS HAPPENING
thats the sad part nothing really happens till like 3 hours in
Because it’s cute at first but then it gets darker. People are a fan of this
It’s taking its sweet time to get dark
I’m interested. I’ve never heard of this until now.
Ok ok ok I’ve had this idea for the battle revolution/stadium series
The main series starts doing different things with the battle system and make it more real time
The stadium series keeps the old style of battling and basically becomes dedicated to competitive battling. You can create Pokémon teams and maybe it has some tournament modes and customization options with online leaderboards
Turn based system or nothing at all
Turn based is what makes Pokémon, Pokémon
No it doesn’t
At all
Can we not try something new? We’ve been doing this turn based battling sh*t for 20+ years. Even finally fantasy isn’t doing turn based combat anymore.
Pokemon Super Eevee Edition had an interesting take on rehauling the battle system. I’m not sure what to compare it to (haven’t played much outside Pokemon, Zelda, and Mario).
The forum page (linked below) doesn’t really explain it, so I’ll give it a shot: Each of your team members has a gauge. When that gauge fills up, it can use a move. Each member has a certain total PP, and each move requires some PP. So your total could be 100 and you could have one move with 5 PP cost, one with 10 pp cost, etc. You also have an unlimited amount of moves iirc. The opposing Pokemon also attack on similar timers.
I think it promotes some cool, fast-paced battling!
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=224449
huh, I’ll have to check this out! Thanks for sharing it!
That’s basically the battle system from FFIV-FFIX and it seems cool trying that on a Pkm game :0
What? Lamest excuse ever.
Pokémon is about the collecting, trading and battling. Which can be done regardless of the battle system.
Final Fantasy used to be turn based and was probably the definitive turn based game and it’s changed
Think, make it based solely on speed stat and you have free will to attack whenever
Outcome: Every fast Pokemon becomes broken cause nothing can hit in between.
Balance the speeds
Outcome: Pokémon like Ninjask could get equal speed with something like Ninjask
Why would you make it based solely on speed stat.
It’s almost like they’d work around this rather than being dumb enough to make one stat rule the game.
Something can be done about that like make it the speed stat work differently, they can figure something out eventually
Lol you’re talking like one of those FF fans that only wants the franchise to be turn based
It’s ok to try something new, it’s ok to innovate, having the same battle system over and over is going to get boring
If anyone has doubts of their art wizardry..Artzardy
I command you to learn from the best
https://youtu.be/iduGgtwSsWA
ur so boring lately
I haven’t been on lately
thats why be better
Then don’t talk to me
but im talking to you
25/10 bettr art than me.
Teach meh oh sensay.
You need more lambasted Cs
Oh my god Ive been drawing wrong this whole time thank you for enlightening me
Well when’s the last time you cut loose and drew something outrageousibily?
uhhh….I drew the purple girl thing the other day
I don’t recall? Hum a few bars

Oh, you drew that! That’s so good!!
thanks fam
The fact that it’s only #15 makes me wonder what else he drew…
https://youtu.be/-tyu6e1xm-Y
Good gracious, Clownbread?
I bet it tastes funny.
It tastes bitter and unfulfilled
Kind of like the person behind the make up.
Strong Bad? He’s the awesome one
No, the joke was some people who are clowns are miserable and have no other purpose in life. meh…
and you talk back to earthen oh my god 😮
😮 where have u been all my ife
Oh my goodness, this person drew a person with a bean head. This person is great.
Btw Pokemon battle system is getting more simplistic
Said the guy who said plus and minus were real
GameFreak: Makes game on a console where they’re going to get less sales and have much higher expectations
Also GameFreak, apparently: Yay let’s dumb it down
Pokémon Go was so popular!
For a month
Pokemon go away ??
Like the franchise itself
It’s getting more and more streamlined campaign wise but it’s becoming more complex in other ways lol
OMG MILOTIC U GOTTA SEE DIS
https://youtu.be/S6d8Ub6fLaE
10 secs in, and now I gotta go to the loo. I can’t XD
Does anyone else really not like how Pokémon fans boogeyman change?
What does that mean
They treat change like it’s a bad thing. Making a boogeyman of it.
Weird analogy… but nonetheless I fear that the human condition is to resent change
No, it isn’t. Most humans will gladly take change if they know it’s positive. It’s a fear of the unknown, not change, which is a major flaw with most humans.
Whereas some Pokémon fans literally say ‘no don’t change it’
When? I thought we all were hoping for change? I thought we all disliked USUM for lack of change? I thought we appreciated Totems for the change.
At least I did.
LITERALLY ALL THE TIME
Look at the replies every time I bring up changing or removing the turn based combat system
Totems aren’t really a change to the scale we’re speaking about. Totems manipulate what’s already in game, they’re not totally new.
#aimed but yeah, I’ve had this same issue with other fanbase as well, like people not liking how FFVII Remake is not turn based even tho the new combat looks like FFVII combat but more dynamic.
And changing and making things that differ from the previous can be a great step to the right direction, just look how different BOTW is from other Zelda’s and how awesome it ended becoming.
Yes. It is aimed. At Pokémon fans in general. Not at an individual.
Pokemon Fans should take these couple of years to actually experience what gaming has to offer. Maybe they can get some actual perspective for the medium.
I’ll reject change to the battle system but in fine with changes to about anything else
The battle system is the game tho. Changes to everything else is like putting icing on a bland ass cake.
Than it’s safe to say that some don’t want change cause they like the system as is
fam… comp can stay a thing. Just keep playing USUM
Some didn’t want Zelda or Mario to go 3D
Majorly improved both series
Still,it’s a legitimate response
It’s….. kinda not?
If you say so
When was the last time you actually played competitive on an actual game?
It’s always on showdown because no one wants to make a competitive team because it’s boring a tedious.
It’s on showdown because my mons aren’t ready yet cause I’m shiny hunting, that simple
Fam
Are you going to honestly tell me that walking in circles hatching eggs for hours to get the perfect bred mon then EV training it, THEN doing that 5 more times for a complete team is fun?
It feels satisfying to me once I get a win off with said mons
It better if youre sinking that much time into it.
Personally I’d rather spend 20 minutes putting a team comp together then just playing the damn game and battling.
Thats what showdown does and that’s what people use because it just makes sense
If Pokemon just made that and updated it whenever new pokemon came out they could not only continue the competitive scene while the other games change on their own, they could actually balance it.
or just take the current battle system and make it its own side series to stop holding down the main series
I’ll dislike it till it happens, then I’ll just learn to roll with it.
This is my process and I won’t change it
Aren’t you an open minded individual
I am. But recently I am feeling very aggressive and I guess my aggressions are making me be less open
Ih what’s so wrong about changing the combat system? Is not the most perfect thing evar
It’s boring because it hasn’t really changed for the past 20 years. it holds the rest of the franchise down from meaningfully innovating and catching up with modern games
Tru they aren’t really innovating anymore, the biggest change to the combat was special/phisical split and the rest was just gimmicks that tried to make battling more interesting, they’re cool, but not really innovative
I’m down for change as long as they don’t screw it up.
I thought you meant like how fans change who/what to blame for not liking pokemon. But, yeah, it’s ridiculous. Some of our best pokemon features have come from innovations they’ve made to the formula. But they can still go further
Apparently the Steam Winter Sale is finally starting tomorrow! I hope HollowKnight takes a huge drop in price. Hopefully I can finish that one damn Mario level today
Where’d that damn fourth purple moon
Nevermind, I set my themes to random, so It just happened to be the SM theme when it did it.
Derp.
Real talk, it’s really depressing that ARMS is dead
R.I.P ARMS 2017-2017
Couldn’t compete with smash, injustice and street fighter.
You’re also forgetting Pokken
…there were no other fighters developed this year btw. DEFINETLY none by marvel, nope not one.
oops forgot about marvel vs capcom
SHUSH THE JOKE WAS THAT IT DIDNT EXIST
IT DIDN’T HAPPEN
I DON’T KNOW WHAT AN INFINITY EGG IS DO YOU?!
It’s that glitch egg that just hatches another egg each time and breaks your game.
*laughs uncontrollably*
it wasnt trying to
And it’ll never beat CTB, FighterZ, or Persona 5 Arena (If it happens, please make it happen, Atlus/Arc System Works)
There’s a game called ARMS?
Oh, it looks so cool!
Wait you seriously didn’t know about it? I thought you were kidding
Nope. Looked it up recently.
Yep
Does anyone want to play me on Smash or Showdown?Or ingame battle royale?? or in game battle? Anybody…
I’m up for a battle on showdown.
Lets do it. OU ok with you? Im Huntark
OU is ok. Im Thedragonbeast
I’m in the middle of story, but do you want to do a certain tier/criteria? Like Little Cup league?
I would be but I’m still waiting for these damn tier shifts and the imminent banning of Toxapex.
Toxapex OP?
Everyone wants it banned
Not OP, just annoying.
If 2k has a brain cell in their company they’ll make an evolve 2 without the DLC shitt the first game had
Ok so because the current encounter and battle system is directly opposing the idea of an open world here are things gamefreak should do if they dont wanna scrap the battle system
1. Encounters are seemless. When you encounter a pokemon, there is no crazy intro where it flashes and the music starts then its like A WILD WOOPER APPEARED WOW GO PIKACHU. Instead, a battle theme fades in similar to Zelda or Xenoblade and your pokemon gets right into position. Instantly the UI appears and you can battle. If you run away, the battle instantly ends and the pokemon runs off so you dont just encounter it again
2. Pokemon in the overworld. It could be sorta like Earthbound. They kinda do this a bit in areas like Lumiose Badlands and the desert in Alola… but it sucks there. So how can we make this tolerable? Well first off, certain pokemon may not chase you right away. There could be more passive ones that only attack if you get close yourself. For example, a Jiggilypuff would just be minding it’s own business until you threaten it by getting really close. Other kinds of pokemon could be aggressive. Maybe spearow swoop down to attack. Gibles run after you.On top of this there could be some that run away from you. Repels make all pokemon run away. Plus you could have these pokemon interact with the world and other pokemon. It could make the world more lively while also finally getting rid of the random encounters. Plus imagine spotting a shiny and just running at full speed towards it to catch it.
3. Instant XP. So Earthbound has this feature where if you touch an enemy thats way lower leveled than you are, you just get the XP and you don’t have to bother battling it. This needs to be added. “But wait! What if i want to catch a lower leveled Pokemon!?” Well here’s how it could work in pokemon. You could have this as a setting you can easily turn off. If you’re just looking to get through an older area, turn it on to deal with any pokemon coming at you. Or turn it off if you’re shiny hunting. Maybe shinies activate the battle anyways and that could be a new hunting method idk
4. Bravely Default style encounter settings. This one isn’t necissary but it could be nice. They could remove repels and replace it with an option to decide how often encounters pop up resulting in more or less XP gain.
5. Save all the pomp and circumstance for trainer battles. Trainers can stay basically the same as they are now. Just give them separate character models from NPCs. Thats more of a personal grievance lol
6. Make dialogue boxes and battle animations SUPER fast. BW did a good job optimizing the battles. Don’t waste your time. Also allow the option to skip Z move and Mega Evolution animations completely
I basically agree with all of this but think you should specifically include the fact that legends should be allowed to have special treatment too
Oh totally.
i think this could make roaming legends like the legendary beasts, birds and latios/latias way more interesting to because they truly are a rare encounter
Yee
Yo imagine shitt like Necrozma done where you have to climb up that stuff but like the world interacts and tries to make it difficult and you gotta tredge through
Better yet, ultra space
‘Remove repels’ no.
This sounds good outside battle But how would actual battles work? TBH I like the same old formula. Im not “Afraid of change” I just like how the battles are now. I actually love the system
Did you fucking read it? I literally said that they could remove them to allow encounter changing settings.
AND I LITERALLY OPENED THE POST SAYING THAT THEY NEEDED TO MAKE THESE CHANGES IF THEY WERE GOING TO KEEP THIS BATTLE SYSTEM IN AN OPEN WORLD
First of all, you need to calm down. There is absolutely no reason for you to be cursing like that. Idk if you need to count to 10 or something but you need to knock it down 3 notches.
Secondly, that does NOT answer my question. You said remove them? So are we just removing battles now? No battles at all? How are moves gonna work? Thats all I wondered?
Seriously. I know you are mad that some people dont want change but getting mad isnt going to help anyone.
*facepalm* Im getting mad because you didn’t read my post.
This is one of the optional changes too. They could remove repels and instead have a scale that you can set your encounter rate at. Basically how likely it is that pokemon will spawn. From 0 which is few if any to 100 which is fuckin everywhere.
I literally opened the post saying battles stay the same. That was the point of the post. Changes that need to be made if theyre keeping turn based combat in an open world pokemon game
Again I read the post. I just misunderstood it. Rather than you being all nasty, just specifically said what were it was stated. Again, I know I read it wrong, but next time rather than ASSUMING that I didnt read it just copy and paste the sentence where it was at. Because I did read your post, I just missed a word when reading.
It’s just pretty fuckin frustrating when it appears that you 100% missed the point especially when I explain it in the first line
I misread it. Geez. I read “they wanna scrap the battle system” and forgot the dont. Calm. Down this funky attitude needs to go. especially since I support the whle idea, I just had a simple question.
I’m just a bitch my dude
I get you misread it. But damn you misread it reeeeaaaly bad
Wow. That does not make up for ANYTHING. If anything it just shows you have a problem and just wont fix it. smh. If you know you act like that then you might want to get an attitude adjustment because that right there isnt appreciated
lol fam im not that upset about it.
im pretty used to people here not thinking rationally about changing the game they like so it came across as you just ignoring everything I said.
So you act aggressive and curse at me? Seriously? is that how we act? Grow up.

i just say “fuuck” alot
Instant xp….YES. Also, I hate the whole battle intro fade in stuff too. Prolongs battles unnecessarily.
I am not familiar with Bravely Default, could you explain 4. a little bit more?
Basically, in the settings, you could pick the encounter rate of enemies.
1. Seamless battles would be neat. Still, I think intros are here to stay, but they could be significantly sped up.
2. Along with wild grass, Pokemon must be in the overworld. I say there should be a nice mix of wild grass Pokemon and roaming Pokemon. I personally enjoy wild grass, so I don’t want to see it completely disappear.
3. Eh, I don’t know about the instant XP. That just sounds like a easy way to avoid battles and training.
5. I think the trainer classes should have more skin tones. That would add a lot of variation easily in the world.
6. Just yes. Z-Moves and Mega Evolution should have quicker animations; especially for Wi-Fi Battles.
#3 isn’t a way to avoid battles, it’s a way to avoid running into really low level pokemon you don’t want to fight just so you can waste time clicking “run” and having that whole encounter be pointless. It would also help with the practically unavoidable level grinding that every pokemon game has.
1. Battle intros just take up time. They’re fine for legends and trainers but do you really need them when it’s just another wild Pokémon?
2. I don’t think they should keep the tall grass. Let’s face it. Random encounters are annoying. They can go.
3. It’s for low leveled mons. They would be worth very very little xp anyways. I reccomend you check out how it works in earthbound.
5. Totally. I just get a little peeved when I talk to an NPC expecting an item or some dialogue and suddenly it’s a trainer lol.
6. Yeeee
There’s nothing sweeter then Thundurus’s Focus Blast missing Mamoswine
It’s infamously called Focus Miss for a reason.
Well he immediately forfeited after
I mean it was a sloppy player
I mean if my Nidoking outspeeds Landorus then he’s obviously doing something wrong….that being said I never reject free points
I like Nidoking/queen. Not sure what my top five Ground-types are beside Flygon and Swampert.
I tell you I must’ve raised over 30 Nidoking in my lifetimes
Naidokang
Shut ir
Mostly offensive or defensive?
Well mostly play throughs and it’s literally
Level up Nidoran until it learns Horn Attack and get the moon stone in Mt Moon and evolve it AFTER Misty and before 23 so it learns Thrash
I’m a Nidoking expert
I mean he was probably running defensive
The better question is how he didn’t see the ice beam
Simple he saw Nidoking Tbolt Skarmory
Ergo everyone assumes Scarf so he thought he had a free opening
It runs life orb though… people are dumb
Yeah but SO many times they underestimate my Nidoking
And what does that get them?
Sash protects him from Earthquake and gets a Ice Beam
Oh there is… something much sweeter
Like killing a Toxapex in one hit
Or Durant missing Guillotine.
…People run durant with guillotine..? Why?
No it was a friend battle irl and he used one with Guillotine. And it’s the reason why I hate Durant now.
Durant is pure evil anyway
Lol what a waste of a good durant. He got you because of luck, not skill
Never will happen. That thing is an immortal demon
I once 1 hit KO’d one when Espeon got it before set up
What’s your moveset?
Same as always
Adamant 252 Atk 252 HP 4 Speed
Ice Shard
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Knock Off
Expert Belt
That Expert belt Ice Shard always saves my butt
Now THAT’s how you run a Mamo.
Watch how someone would say otherwise
I mean most would say Icicle Crash or Life Orb or have Stealth Rock
I can test that, If I breed a competitive ground team, do you want to battle? Ground vs Ground, the catch is no Water/Ground types.
……..Quagsire, Swampert, Whiscash Gastrodon and Seismitoad…..
Yeah, forgot about Seismitoad…
Which is a little unique
Sassy
252 HP 252 SpDef 4 SpAtk
Water Absorb
Assault Vest
Scald
Earth Power
Sludge Bomb
Drain Punch
He’s so thicc that no special move will touch him
….than what’s your stealth rocker?
Wait for it…..None 😀
Never once have I used Stealth Rock, Hippowdon knows….ROCK TOMB DUN DUNN DUNNNNN OH EXPECTING AIR BALLOONS TO SAVE YOU
So many Heatrans, Charizards and Volcaronas ruined by a wee little Rock Tomb
Rock Tomb does neutral on heatran wtf
Volcarona used giga drain! Rhyperior died x-x
…..you’re an idiot… please use them
Nah. Us Ice monos need as much help as we can get
I might be an idiot but this idiot tanked so many Charizard Y Solarbeams and Giga Drains 1HKO’d them
Never used a Seismitoad. Not sure if I want to, but I’ll give it a try. It’s just Tympole’s creepy looking.
Nobody ever does
It’s ALWAYS Gastrodon or Quagsire always the same sets nothing out of the ordinary yet Quagsire is a bit more annoying at least
Honestly Seismitoad is kinda a throwaway water blocker but I’ve used him for over three years and I just imagine fighting without his grungey face by my side
I prefer Quagsire and Gastrodons’ designs, especially the Blue one.
Expert is the one thing I’d disagree with but the rest of the set is relatively decent.
I guess it depends on what your strategy is, and whether or not to use certain items.
It also depends on the meta
I mean the extra damage stacks and I often only use Ice Shard on Birbs Plants and dagons so ja
But there’s still better mons to use for that
…….for a ground mono?
This was not intentional. Disqus is going wonky.
