Some of what moves can do is already covered by abilities though, which have the added benefit of acting automatically. Intimidate would be functionally be the same as Growl, but the fact that it activates as soon as the Pokémon is sent out rather then taking up a moveslot and having to use it manually. Same goes for Sturdy vs Endure, Weather abilities vs weather moves and Terrain moves vs Terrain abilities.

Adding more moves sounds like the "why don't they get rid of motions" fighting game discussion, as in it probably fucks up competitive for reasons that aren't very clear to the laymen, while also just kinda making everything...blander.

As somebody who can't 6-3-2-1-4-6 consistently to save his life, I hate your argument on a personal level. However, the restriction to 4 moves definitely feels like it adds a layer of planning and party building. I have a feeling they'd have to abandon the entire past franchise and reboot to balance 5+ moves properly.

At this point, some Pokemon have movepools that would make them much more versatile if they weren't limited by the 4 move limit. Part of Pokémon's success relies on how diverse suggested movesets are. With a large enough number of moves to learn, two Pokémon that are identical in every other aspect can function differently from each other. More variations invites more strategies, which is better for gameplay overall.

I'd be down with a fifth slot just for field moves but it's not strictly needed.

If the moveset is expanded past four into a six or eight-move moveset, one idea might be to put a cap on moves based on the pokemon's type. For instance, at least half of a Pokemon's moves must share its typing, with Normal being the only unrestricted type. So a Water/Flying Pokemon (in a six-move moveset) must have at least three Water, Flying, or Normal moves. Or, like someone earlier suggested, the cap is based on damage or support moves, with a Pokemon only being able to take up to four damaging moves, with the remaining slots devoted to support. The benefits of an expanded moveset would be that buffs/debuffs become more useful since they're not competing with damage moves as much, and it would help solve the issue of HMs taking up space on Pokemon movesets (though replacing HMs with riding Pokemon or field moves seems to have solved that issue).

I don’t actually want more moves but it’d be cool if you could use five or even more moves

Maybe there could be held items that granted the Pokemon a (usually relatively weak) fifth move? They could be called A-Crystals.

Stick with four moveslots, but outside of battles, let your pokemon freely switch between any moves they've ever learned without having to haul your rear end to the move relearner and hawk over a bunch of heart scales.

This feels like the best possible choice really. The only issue I can see with it is that it'd grant you essentially infinite PP but it could make it so you can never recover PP from it and then it's fine.

Or heck, if you absolutely must have some kind of restriction, make it a function of pokemon centers. I actually kind of like this idea because it introduces an extra layer of strategic planning. Delving into a cave or exploring a new route? Load up on high PP moves so your team has some extra staying power for the journey. About to challenge a gym? Swap in your heavy hitting moves to give yourself the edge.

Later games have incorporated more uses for berries. Have the player rely on them more. Especially Lum, Leppa and Sitrus berries.

I vote for this option. Except, maybe toned down a bit so you have, say a pool of ten or so moves that you have to manually swap out for the usual four battle moves on the field between fights.

You can't control your Pokemon anymore, you just let it and the opponent fight it out on their own. Also a realistic physics and biology simulator for battles has been added for enhanced game-play

Tir McDohl posted:Essentially infinite PP already kinda exists with unlimited use TMs. No it doesn't. When you overwrite a move it keeps whatever pp it had or lowers it to the new maximum. So if you had 15 Headbutt pp and overwrote it with Fire Blast you'd be down to 5/5 Fire Blast. If you decided to go back to Headbutt in that slot you'd only be at 5/15 Headbutt PP.

Sitting around hitting the same button over and over again waiting for the inevitable is loving awful. It's not like there's any thought or skill involved in catching Pokemon. It wastes the players time for zero reason whatsoever. Dabir posted:play a real pokemon game instead of let's go then Let's Go lets you skip the false swipe/spore time sink and skip straight to throwing pokeballs. And it adds a timing component that at least gives a modicum of engaging gameplay.

And what engaging timing it is. E: Not that catching in general is engaging or whatever. But tossing pokeballs with a flick and a timing element isn't any more fun than tossing pokeballs with a button press. SyntheticPolygon fucked around with this message at 03:46 on May 5, 2019 |

it is really annoying when you've got all your strong Pokemon for fights and then you run across a low level Pokemon you want and you have to figure out which of your Pokemon can do damage to them without one-hit KOing them

The situational balls made capturing Pokemon way easier. You just throw Quick Balls at them and then whatever ball fits your need. If you only play at night you just Dusk Ball everything into your boxes.
