Game Mechanics change

[Blue-Kratos]

I am new here so sorry if this thread already exists.What do you think about the Game Mechanic changes?Personally I don't like them because many Pokemon are going to become useless (and other very usefull).The first think I thought when I learnt the changes was: "Oh, NO!This is the end of Alakazam". Why did the punches change from special to Physical?

 

[Charizard_Millky]

i hope they keep the game machics and how do u make threds mesage if u do

 

[sceptilianmaster]

That change has totally turned the battle world upside down. I'm not saying its bad either. If you think about it, it actually makes more sense.

Thunderpunch used to be a special attack because of its typing. I mean, like, WTF a punch is a special attack?! And WTF Hyper Beam which is a beam is a physical attack?!

They're probably trying to turn the Pokemon game into a more realistic one. The power of certain Pokemon is... a needed casualty if they wanted to implement this system. (Oh, can someone please do an analysis for Sceptile with the new mechanics for me? I'm a bit worried.)

 

[drone_8@hotmail.com]

the idea of new mechanics is a good one especially how the last way they did it didnt make sence at some pionts throughout the game

 

[Blue-Kratos]

Yes, but it was actually very good and it was working great.I mean the battle system of the game was Excellent.

 

[Metal Force]

Some pokemon moves are gonna be useless for some but very useful for others. so it's fair, and it makes sence.

 

[Reizero90]

GameFreak aren't stupid, they'll see that Sceptile will be crapped up and give it some new attacks. The same goes with other pokemon that are over/under powered. It's not like the current metagame is completely fair anyway.

 

[Neo]

Well, Alakazam's gonna lose the punches obviously, but just think of what it's gaining. Shadow Ball says hello!

 

[Blue-Kratos]

Is it sure that Shadow Ball will be a special move?

Probably, because the user throws a ball, no part of the user touches the foe, so peobably special.

 

[mewfanforlife]

Of course this means battles between psychic types willl come down to who can KO the other with Shadow Ball first.

Btw, yes, this was a thread, and with the exact same title even, but it was deleted.

Oh, hello there Gold and Silver. What? You're introducing us to new moves, a split between your Special stat, two new types, and hold items?

Hey, Ruby and Sapphire! What's that you've got there? Natures, Abilities, new hold items, new attacks, EVs, Double Battles?


In case you aren't aware, EVERY new generation of Pokemon games have changed the way you battle and are much more different than what you last played.

 

[Blue-Kratos]

Yes, but they were just improving the previous games not changing them.

EDIT:WOW GENGAR IS GOING TO USE SHADOW BALL!!!!!!!!!!!

didnt u bother to read that the other one got deleted

 

[Blue-Kratos]

And didn't you bother to read that I am new and I said "Sorry if this already exists"?

 

[Youkai Enslaver]

What bothers me is you're assuming that certain Pokémon will "become useless."

We don't know that! The game hasn't been released. Did you ever stop and think that maybe those Pokémon will learn some new moves that'll prevent them from "becoming useless?"

And Sceptile's Leaf Blade could remain special. Just because it makes contact, doesn't mean it has to be physical, and vice versa. -_-

It's a BLADE!. Sceptile actually runs up and hits them with it. That, in my mind is physical.

 

[brandon presley]

yea that is a physical attack
