Omnicrom posted:I believe you have it backwards. I also seriously thought at the time it was intentional, I started using healing magic offensively against the last run of bosses on the advice of a guide that thought it worked because they were actually undead. I discovered that one accidentally and also thought it was an issue of them being undead. I didn't find out it was an overflow issue until many years later.

Speaking of which, can you pull a Gym Leader and de-level an evolved pokemon to lower than its minimum evo level?

MarquiseMindfang posted:On a personal level I'd like a game that almost completely does away with plot and HM gating the world. HM gating is sort of fine if I don't need to follow the plot to get the HMs. I should be able to wander into a high level area after leaving the starter town and get my rear end kicked. Have those "Route Whatever" signs also provide a level indicator of the area if you like. The Gym Leaders and the E4 and Champion should be the 13 most powerful trainers in the game and most of the journeying should be done either purely for the sake of exploration and curiosity, or to try and power up enough to take them on. Obviously there'd still be a plot but I should be free to ignore it if I wish, and it should be fixed level and not scale with the player. No more team rocket trying to take over the world with level 12 zubats. Gate the legendary behind it, that's fine and makes sense, but stop with the random dancing men barriers is all I'm saying. It sounds a bit grindy but adding in smaller, lower level "local plots" with decent rewards like TMs, the bike, whatever, would help stop it feeling so backloaded. The more I type the more this sounds like a single-player MMO. I'm not super certain open-world / Skyrimon would really work for the series. I've had similar ideas several times myself, and it kinda runs counter to some of the central conceits of Pokemon, not to mention being something of a balance nightmare. Every 'solution' I've ben able to come up with to make it work has had glaring flaws upon even a short introspection of it. There's a possibility of such a setup being really cool and a refreshing take on it, but it seems like the sort of thing that's incredibly easy to gently caress up with even just a few small mistakes or one moderate-sized fuckup.

So one of the problems we keep seeing and discussing is a lack of compelling or even tolerable characters. I can't help but feel like a lot of these would be much deeper if, rather than just trying to write them like the lovely novelists most of these "devs" clearly want to be, maybe they should play as some of these characters in the PTU tabletop RPG system. Actually playing versions of several of my old characters certainly helped me flesh out their history, thought processes, and motivations. But that might require them to have friends, so this solution may be beyond them. :/

Theirs must be some lovely tabletop sessions, then. This kinda makes me feel more sorry for them rather than angry that they can't write for poo poo.

Randalor posted:Didn't the second set of Mystery Dungeon games have things like someone building up your trust the entire game, just to stab you in the back, the complete destruction of time, and someone encouraging the main character to commit suicide? I mean, just saying, if done properly, you can get dark as gently caress, and still be an entertaining story that fits in with pokemon. You just need all your taskmasters, allies, popcorn grunts, and townie NPCs to be goofy and/or pathetic? :p
