Yeah I could work with that. They sound a little more complex than I'd like for the staters, but I would like them as a Legendary Trio.

If you don't want to grief every town gate in a Pokemon MMO by releasing snorlaxes right in front of them, I don't even know what to say.

Any more complex then Hidden Abilities? I've practically fallen in love with Delphox's Magician ability and it fits the Pokemon so nicely  I would also comment about how weird an Algae pokemon being legendary would be, but then again we have Manaphy and Phinone and they are pretty much fat water drops with heads so  Edit VVVV Learn something new every day.

Like two months after Pokémon Bank came out, I have all 718 horrible little murderbeasts packed into my boxes.. I don't have a camera on hand but oh my god this is satisfying. Nothing better than starting a new game in Y and having a full Pokédex before taking a single step. WHAT NOW, TREVOR.

pik_d posted:Then make Scald a water/fire version of Flying Press I would absolutely love Scald if it was learnable by fire types that aren't terrible As it stands it's just another great water move in a very large pool of great water moves. Bongo Bill posted:Flying Press might work that way, if there were two types that are both weak to Fighting and Flying. (Though, does Flying Press do quad damage to Fighting/Dark or Grass/Dark pokemon?) Electrified flying press becomes electric/flying and deals 1/4th damage to Electric type pokemon, I would assume the inverse is also true.

Bogging down everyone with Multitype moves will be to much. I think Scald is an exception because burns are strongly in Fire domain. Most pokemon won't get a STAB from it but it would be interesting for some water pokemon to leanr it naturally and have more versatility (Thinking primarily Gyrados, Golduck, and Rotom for fluff reasons)

Flying Press is bar none the coolest looking move in the game, and the dual-typed attack thought is one that needs to be more utilized (heat-wave should be fire/flying, aforementioned scald, etc), but it's a shame in practice it's pretty useless.

Crosscontaminant posted:Because Fighting/Flying are already multiplied together before being applied to each type of Fighting/Dark or Grass/Dark in turn. It does 2x damage against Fighting, Grass and Dark, so dual-type combinations of those take 4x damage. If its type was Normal then it could be affected by Aerilate, which would make it Flying/Flying and capable of dealing 4x damage to mono-Fighting and 8x damage to Breloom, but as is they've specifically tailored it so it'll never produce octoweaknesses. I'm not sure why this means that, if Scald were dual fire/water, it wouldn't be 16x on rock/ground?

Scald would work just fine. It doesn't seem to have any chance of 8x damage. The main problem with dual-type moves is that if they hit for 8x damage they're OP as hell, and if they don't they're usually just a less effective version of a move staple that might have interesting coverage options.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Well they want to play pokemon but with their friends! But doesn't that already exist in the form of online battling? No see they want to be able to explore the world and fight tough trainers together. Most don't realize that pokemon's world and set up is created as a single player experience from the ground up and a multiplayer version of it would have to be something drastically different in presentation. Yeah I don't get this desire either. Same with the people that want multiplayer Elder Scrolls games. You'd have to break or change a lot to make this stuff work. Also who wants to do cooperative turn based combat?

Also who wants to do cooperative turn based combat? I think multiplayer Elder Scrolls would work well if they did it how it's done in the Fable games. Largely single-player, but if one of your friends is online, they could hop into your game and function like one of your followers. To prevent game breaking, just stop them from being able to affect the world too much, for example: either nicking all the good armor from your chest when they visit, or dropping some Legendary Enchanted Dragon Armor in their friend's world right at the start.
