Avalerion posted:The wild area is actually one of the features that really could have done with more polish. Great utility in regards of pokemon availability and items but it looks baddish, lags like hell, all the pokemon just wander around aimlessly or spin in circles... It’s functional but feels very artificial. That's not been my experience; for example, groups of stuffel will get curious and approach you to say hi and wave, noibat will panic and flee, wooloo might blunder into you but are mostly doing their own thing, sneasel puts its claws out and chases you down. Diglets will stop and watch if they see you, etc.

Nowhere near worth the rage and pitchforks and extremely exaggerated comparison to Brexit. May as well have just called it Pokegate. I'm pro-trimming the roster down. So many Pokemon are either redundant or unplayable and you can only get so many before your list becomes a major slog to get through.

I'd rather have a generation where old pokemon get buffs and nothing new is added than Gamefreak throwing their hands in the air and just adding more worthless poo poo. At this point an extremely polished and developed Pokemon experience could have plenty of content. It doesn't all have to be new. But people always chase after the new shiny thing more than bringing old stuff up to par.

Plus, I usually only wind up using a small handful anyway and the last time I actually went out of my way to “catch ‘em all” was in Pokemon Red back on the Gameboy so them trimming down the roster never really bothered me to begin with.

Pokémon as a game service. Tack on the cost of Bank/Home but make it monthly. Add a dozen Pokémon weekly as raid exclusive drops to paying members 2 weeks before everyone else gets to catch them. All cosmetics cost real money. There’s a gacha mini game for shinies.

Every pokemon is someone's favorite. The correct answer there is that they should balance things so all final evos have the same stat total. The even more correct issue for there being too many pokemon is that we should go back to sprites because those owned.

I'm fine with some pokemon being excluded from a competitive season but some of their choices to include are very confusing. Like why the gently caress is Basculin in this game? Why is it in any game? Its the least interesting pokemon ever created.

Speaking of which, do any of the later Gens actually give you a more substantial reward for catching every Pokemon? I know the first game just gave you a certificate and nothing more but I never bothered trying to get everything after that.

The shiny charm or whatever that permanently buffs your shiny encounter rate has been the reward for a few games now.

If their plan is to bring back old mons in future games (either to complete the dex or just as self contained games) it doesn't make sense to have one game worth every popular mon, and then two years later release Pokemon Heaven and Hell, featuring Dewgong and Mothim.

Borsche69 posted:The weather system is an insane setup. Certain pokemon only spawn in certain weather conditions The weather changes once a day, with no other way to control it. So if you want something specific, you can (at least, thankfully) just change the internal switch date until you get what you want (since the weather is random day to day). To top that off, certain weathers like Fog and Sandstorm don't spawn until you're at a certain point in the game (for Fog, that point is when you beat the game). Its another annoying restriction that seems set up for no point - same way how in Sun/Moon most of the new pokemon were hidden behind SoS encounters and low percentage encounter rates. Jesus loving Christ. At least Mareanie, as hard as it was to make it even show up, at least was catchable during the story.

The Pokemon made for 3D look great in it. But the ones that originated as sprites feel less lively, chunkier, and more washed out in palette.

The Bee posted:The Pokemon made for 3D look great in it. But the ones that originated as sprites feel less lively, chunkier, and more washed out in palette. Counterpoint: Mr. Mime Sprites are never coming back, they are way more limited than the 3D models for all the stuff they wanna be doing with Pokemon now. And frankly, people way overblow the quality of sprites. I barely remember most of them. Some Pokemon definitely suffered in the 3D transition but when GF puts in the time and effort, a lot more personality can be conveyed with the 3D models than sprites ever had. Which, again, is why a gen where they don't add anything new but touch all this stuff up would be nice.

You just described B2W2 and I agree, they should do that again, because those games kicked rear end In fact, if they’re not going to include every Pokémon in every game then they should go back to the Gen 5 model of one game with only new dudes until the credits roll and a smattering of old guys in the post game and then a sequel where they mix the old in with the new from the start with a ton of buffs

Internet Kraken posted:when GF puts in the time There's the problem-- they need more time to make more interesting idle animations. I love archeops's awkward flapping but I wish he could also land and do some stuff on the ground. Maybe it'll be improved when he's added back into a future game. I have a living dex and pokemon from gens 3-8, but dexit might feel worth it if I could see some solid improvements to the included pokemon (in animations and in game balance/mechanics). I feel like this was a huge missed opportunity, because the game was rushed.

I'm having trouble with raids now that I'm in the post game. Nobody ever joins when I search, and post-game they are hard enough to wipe the floor with NPCs, which makes it way more likely to fail due to 4 KOs. So I have very little in the way of XP candy or money lol.

It looks like level has something to do with the catch rate of pokemon. I've had a couple of instances where a higher level pokemon is much more difficult to catch than its catch rate using the old games formula would indicate. Conversely it seems like catching lower leveled pokemon is much easier and critical captures are more frequent if the wild pokemon is a lower level. It kind of sucks if you're rotating pokemon to keep from getting over levelled but find one of your favorites in the wild area who out levels you.

So, multi-hit moves take down one layer of shields in raids, and then start hitting health. Would something with skill-link like minccino be good for them? Outside of how skill link is the hidden ability in that case
