Gameplay Speculation/Discussion Thread

And that's exactly why Ninfia won't evolve that way.

Umbreon, Espeon, Glaceon, and Leafeon all evolved by methods that were completely new at the time. (day/night/happiness, location). And, seeing as Eevee is the pokemon who represents evolution anyway, this will probably happen with Ninfia instead.

It's most likely going to be a completely new mechanic.

Sorry, I was thinking this was about Ninfia for some reason...It's all I'm thinking about...

aren't we all lol
but more on topic who here thinks capricorns need to make a comeback?

Once you are over their level you don't need to train because you're overleveled and you will be if you keep on fighting trainers and gym leaders and if you do fall behind you can easily catch up because you'll get more experience.

but the wild pokemon in that are are still much lower level than the gym leader
just admit it bro it's broken

Well, I didn't know there were any Capricorns in the game to begin with, lol.

But as for Apricorns, I'd be fine with it as long as Kurt's Brother/Son/Relative appeared in this gen to use them.

Why do you need to grind if you're overleveled?

wow i am screwing up a lot today *facepalm*
well yeah i was thinking it would be a relative of kurts as well
i would love if apricorns were reintroduced i loved the cool pokeballs you got :3

Why do you need to grind if you're overleveled?

you aren't over leveled
you are over leveled to the wild pokemon but you will still be way under level the gym leader

[SilverFox]

I've never had that problem, and I feel you're just complaining to complain about something that isn't broken, to create an unnecessary fight, which i will no longer take part of.

i'm not fighting just to fight or complaining to complain
the exp system in black and white 2 was complete garbage and it takes lots of grinding to get enough experience when training a full team
So as when you beat a pokemon if your level is above the pokemon you beat it will be low but if on par or below it will be higher. For anyone who has dealt with this is the EXP gain difference relative as in a fixed percent difference or vary by the level difference. And from my experience, there are hardly any pokemon that are higher level than yours unless you are fighting the gym leader

I hope that this is the generation that they introduce status balls, i.e Sleep Ball, Paralyze Ball, etc. They all have a catch rate of 0, but they inflict their namesake status. Throw in some new actually poke balls and I'll be good.

Well then that defeats the purpose of the actual MOVES that cause them.

While not as a ball it struck me. We need a move that freezes as its primary effect.

that is a cool idea
it would make catching pokemon easier especially if you do not have pokemon with moves like that
but i do not think it will be usable in trainer battles of course considering it is still technically a pokeball

I'm all up for new pokeballs. Just not those ones. And id like them to reintroduce pokeballs like Love ball. (I don't like the luxury ball and its ethetic look.)

so are you suggesting they bring back apricorns?
if so you are my new best friend i really want those things back 3:

[SilverFox]

Yea, Heavy Balls needs to come back, and be more lenient on it's weight modifiers. Lure Balls are kind of usesless when we have net and dive and they look much better. The only other one I'd want are Fast Balls.

personally i liked all of them :3
also they need to bring in the gold and silver ball

[confuser987]

For deserts, they shouldn't just provide auto sand storm, they should also provide auto sunny day sometimes.

You mean the Pal Park ball?

Precisely! I loved that feature and don't know why they havnt continued that.

The GS ball? I believe that is an Ancient pokeball from a long time ago, or something like that if you can call the Manga canon. I'd love to see that in a wifi event or something for Celebi. Actually I'd like to see events for most of the older legendaries.

I hope to see a LOT of post-game content in this, or at least something similar to Emerald's battle frontier. That place still holds a special place in my heart :3
Good Pokemon distribution, and strong gym trainers so we're encouraged to level our pokemon. I'd like the EXP to be normal as well...

You're right... The Battle Frontier of Gen III was truly special. The gen IV one didn't seem so good. I also wish a lot they bring back THAT Battle Frontier. I mean, that was the true Battle Frontier. True battles.

For deserts, they shouldn't just provide auto sand storm, they should also provide auto sunny day sometimes.

Of course, they should.

Longer gameplay than usual
Maybe another region/ bigger region
Character customization
Two rivals, one mean and one friend
A great storyline
Mini story lines for when your done the main one.

Just some of plenty.
