Gameplay Speculation/Discussion Thread

What do Heart Scales have to do with evolving?

There are actually two different topics being discussed.
(1) Real-time evolution during battle.
(2) Availability of Heart Scales.

So don't get confused.

On the topic of Heart Scales, it was actually sold on Black City for P10,000.
But that place is greedy. I think P1,000-P1,500 would be good.
Also, I don't see it being sold on ordinary places.
Probably just from a lone merchant that sells rare stuff, or one of the prizes you can exchange in some facility.

i think evoloutin in battle would be good as it could mix things up a bit as for heartscales yes do need them in shops

i think it should definitely be cheaper
black city is very greedy i have both versions and in Black 2, an evolution stone only costs P1000
but up to P2000 for the rare ones

Something's I would like to see in the new game/s some of this has probably been covered well here goes.

Okay so i Mentioned above the evolution and pokemon possibly evolving during battle.

I would definitely like to see a way to send all my pokemon over from past generations, ill explain a little because I have got 2 functionalities to this part, so in the past. We have been able to trade pokemon from one generation to the next via some special building located somewhere, in soul silver/heart gold there was the facility located in fushia city, in black and white there was the research building between black city/white city and nimbassa town I think, I forget the real name. Anyway the point being is I don't want my hard work catching all the pokemon I have to be wasted by not allowing us to transfer, the second part to this is that it always takes me forever to transfer pokemon from one game to another so I would like to see a means to transport say all at once.

I would like to see some new evolutions of older pokemon - I'm not sure if this is the right thread to place this in but I guess it still counts as gameplay.

Maybe instead of one evil team have two. Sort of like team magma and team aqua in ruby, sapphire emerald respectively.

Have a bigger region/more locations, I always try to take my time playing but I always seem to fly through the latest games in the blink of an eye.

I think the pokemon league should be like the anime where you have to battle other npc trainers before facing the elite four. It could give you something to do.

Maybe a function to sort out pokemon in pc boxes by dex number.

Maybe also when your trying to catch pokemon and you accidentally make them faint instead of ending the battle it gives you a final chance to catch that pokemon at a higher percentage granted this is something I don't see happening as it gives you the player less reason to search for that pokemon again unless your looking for specific genders etc.. but I guess it's good if your trying to catch free-roaming legendaries.

Anyway that's all I can think of at the moment, im sure ill get more things pop into my head later.

I somewhat agree with this, although a lot of people won't like it.

I think they could implement a little mini game type thing in order for you to get your second chance at capturing the Pokemon. This would come in handy if you accidentally faint low leveled shiny Pokemon like what has occurred to me multiple times.

I think they did introduce something like this in black and white, whenever you threw a Pokeball you had a chance to instantly catch, I'll admit whilst this was kinda good I didn't once have that happen to me, hence either the percentage is very low I.e 0.1% or you just had tobe extremely lucky for this to happen.

while this sounds like a good idea i am sad to say i doubt it will happen
but it would be very useful for roaming legendaries i agree

i was thinking you know the trailer says the better your bond the stronger you become maybe evolution is through happiness instead of levels but keeping all pokemon that require stones and trade items the same so your pokemon doesnt evolve by reaching a certain level but by friendship what are your thoughts

maybe they are trying to make it like the anime where it evolves buy trusting the trainer or fulfilling him/hers desire but i kinda dont like that

[GoldCyndaquil]

Well happiness evolution already exists...

[epigmann]

thats what i thougt when they first said but could have benefits like rufflet evolves lvl 60 so braviary could appear earlier as an example

Obviously we already have friendship evolution but if I have understood this correctly basically it seems like your suggesting that the developers change the way all pokemon evolve for this method to work it would mean that they would have to scrap levels all together. I just don't see how this could work without the level system and then it would make most pokemon be like those that do require the friendship to evolve, I'm trying to map an image of how I could possibly work.

[GoldCyndaquil]

Lvl. 54 actually, but I digress. I don't think they would do that. What would the criteria be for evolving because of trust? Trust could be somewhat synonymous to Friendship.

[epigmann]

keep the levels but dont set them to a pacific one

[Zachmac]

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...

[Yveltal96]

i think you mean specific
i do not think they would do that it would over complicate things
and i have friends that treat their pokemon horribly so they would never evolve lol

Umm, did I say anything about Ninfia? No, I didn't. I already know that it will be a new mechanic of evolution and fight with it about many people. I was talking about how epigmann proposed to make all evolutions happiness based...not about Ninfia.

[epigmann]

lol it was just a thought but as someone said above ninfia possible new evo method

[SilverFox]

definitely is broken...
once you get over their level it becomes too hard to train
and pokemon only get to a certain level in the wild

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.

Sorry, sorry, I already fixed my post.

Before you posted this one, even.

Last time I was in the gen 6 section, the only thing people were talking about was Ninfia, so my brain did some weird things.
