Hello All,
I literally just started PR just the other day, and these are my first impressions and thoughts for the future updates to come.
For Battle:
- More attack animations/graphics, very obvious this will happen with time, but its best I still had this here
- Reworked capturing animation/ better code (I noticed that if you have 5 pokemon in your party, you will know if you caught the pokemon even before the pokemon is actually caught, or not)
- A scaleable battle screen. For me personally, id like if it were a tad bit larger without scaling my entire GUI.
- After a pokemon dies,I think that they should drop down into nothingness, like in the originals (death animation + death sound effects)
- More trainers in the beginning. People who have squirtle or bulbasaur starters wont really understand how hard Brock is when all of your pokemon are under lvl14 with a fire starter. I beat him with a Snubble Lvl.10 +Mankey Lvl.11 + Poliwag. Lvl.9, but I was really grinding hard without help from the internet showing me that these pokemon would help.
- EXP bar. I also noticed this scales RIGHT after you select an attack rather than after the attack. It would be nice to see it more delayed like in the originals.
- Poison. I dont know if this should be a feature, but I thought itd be worth mentioning that having a poisoned feature, where if a pokemon in your party is poisoned, with every few steps their health goes down,etc. For some reason I feel like that should be in.
- Confusion?? Does confusion not cause confusion? Hopefully that is on the way, because thatd be sad if that wasnt implemented, or maybe I havent used my butterfree enough to see it? idk.
- Seeing the accuracy of an attack. Im pretty sure this was a thing in the old games, but I forget. It was like knowing how to play your attacks and which might have a lesser or more chance of sticking.
- Controls. Very minor but still annoying. Theres a slight delay with the controls. If I hold W, and walk forward and then switch to D, it takes a sec for the mechanics of the game to switch, its a very small delay, but noticeable. And also, not being able to keep walking even through entering and exiting buildings.
- Duo Battles and Spectating would be cool, ive seen that suggested in a few posts.
- Economy, Maybe. Im too young into this game to know if the economy is balanced for beginning players, but to me, it doesnt seem like it.
- Also, I think having a better 'Blacked out' animation sequence would be cool, like where things gray out or fade to black and then you re-spawn at the Pokecenter
EDIT - 4/13/2016
Being able to see LEARNED MOVES once you learn them, not just in chat.
Being able to not always have to click on the dialogue box, itd be cool to click anywhere to forward the text, and maybe even hold left click to speed it up more. or to simply have the option to may clicking to the "F" key, like most MMO'sd
I think thats it, If I find anything else Ill post it here.
These are just suggestions, feel free to give me thoughts, but you dont need to be super critical, lol.
Thanks, and amazing job to the Team who put this project together. Such an amazing concept for PK fans, especially ones who want to relive the way the OLD PK GEN Games (up to emerald) were.
