You and your rival's pokemon at even levels.

[TTar-X]

I know this is a longshot and I can potentially see problems with this idea in game but what do you all think of your rival having the same levled pokemon as your highest leveled pokemon when you battle him/her? It is sort of like "open level" in the frontier where if you enter it for instance with your strongest pokemon being level 70, all of your opponent's pokemon would be at 70 as well.

 

[denuel]

yea, thats a great idea, it's so great that it has already being used by nintendo on leaf green, f.r.

 

[JONNO.FRESH]

Yea another great idea that wont happen. If that happened they would do it for Gym Leaders,Elite 4 aswell

 

[FireHead Hank]

I dont really like the idea. This would hinder you from using specific pokemon on your team. If you like rather weak pokemon, which wont have any chance(if on the same level) to win against your rival/gym leader/whatever, ususally you would level it up until it has a chance to win. But with this "rule" you couldnt benefit from the level but you would be forced to raise a pokemon you maybe dont like at all. So this would take a way your "freedom" in some way.
Maybe you will be able to rebattle your rival after you played through the "main" part of the game(gyms,elite4), and then his pokemon would always be on the same level as yours. That'd be great/better.

 

[TheOne]

Maybe. It'd make the battles more interesting but when it comes to starters he'd kill you. ._.

 

[stizi]

no that idea suck it would never happen

 

[Char1016]

Maybe it happens but I don't like that idea. Sux.

 

[MechaBulba]

Ok wat if half way throught the game your top Pokemon is level 45 which would make your rivals all 45 But then latter on when u met him/her again u have removed your top level pokemon have have a weaker team in trianning which r at level 42 would that then make your rivials pokemon go down 2 42 as the ruler sujests or stay at 45?

 

[obada]

It wont happen, I am pretty sure.
But its interesting.

 

[Anikin]

I know it might not happen but I would love if they did that. It will give some more difficulty than in the other games.

 

[SHUCKLE MAN]

This is kind of a yes and no answer from me. Id just prefer it if all bosses (enemy team bosses, admins, rival, gym leader, other recurring trainers such as Wally) all had very high level Pokemon anyway.

 

[TTar-X]

no that idea suck it would never happen

I appreciate your insight good job *rolls eyes*
Yeah I knew ahead of time that my idea would present problems that most of you people mentioned, oh well it was just a thought.
As for the person who said this idea has already been installed in Fr/Lg, please specify b/c I don't remember seeing that in that game. ;-/

Maybe referring to the Elite Four second Round? Which isn't exactly the case. Or maybe the Trainer Tower...

As for the idea... I like it. Rival Battles are some of the best, because they're not retarded Monotype users. Making it even with the level of your Pokémon would be awfully superb as well and add this bit of challenge the franchise badly needs in regards of the main story...

Not to mention it'd punish turds that apply the no-skill playthrough of "Train-Your-Starter-'Till-The-End". People would be obliged to train their Pokémon as evenly as possible, or be owned in the process. Which is good in my eyes.

And well... maybe only the Rival's main Pokémon (Namely, the Starter he/she went with.) should be the one on par with the Level of you highest Pokémon, while the others would be a few levels lower, setting a floor of 7 levels below, and raising depending on the Pokémon. Just an example.

Even then, good idea. I'm all for anything that adds at the very least an ounce of challenge in the main quest...

Well if you read my 1st post on the thread you can see where I use the "open level" frontier example. ;-/

Thank you for supporting my idea, I like your insight and I agree with you wholeheartedly. ;-)

 

[water types rule]

I don't think that would work, I agree with FireHead Hank.

 

[SiLeNtDuDe]

the idea is ok but then no matter how hard you train your rivals pokemon will always be the same but it would make it more challenging

 

[SuperShadow]

I don't think it will make alot of sense. My scenerion is a Lv.100 old starter vs. a lv.100 first stage NEW starter pokemon. Or say your strongest is lv.5 ratatta against a lv.5 last stage NEW starter pokemon form. Imagine that^_^!

 

[Wolf Goddess]

"dis sux i willn't say y but i post anywae's becuz i tipe goodly"

Reasoning. Grammar. Ever heard of them?

I agree with Orion. This will help make the game more challenging while preventing people from just raising one or two Pokemon to high levels.

 

[intergalactic platypus]

I would prefer it if the levels were a bit above your highest level. It would make it more challenging and seem more like your rival is ahead of you
