Improvements for Battle Logs on Status Moves

[Leafbolt8]

I noticed on battles, that status moves such as Toxic shows "POISON Failed to have any effect" when it misses, same to other status moves. And, it also shows "POISON Failed to have any effect" when it's used to a Pokemon Immune to it such as Poison Types (except for Steel types which shows "It's completely Ineffective!") this is also the same to other status moves such as Thunder Wave to Electric Types which also shows "PARALYZE Failed to have any effect".

 

So my suggestion is, to change their battle logs to avoid confusion, here is an example:

 

When it's used to a Pokemon Immune to it:

Before:

Rotom-Wash used Will-O-Wisp (on a Fire type, which is immune to it)

"BURN Failed to have any effect"

 

After:

Rotom-Wash used Will-O-Wisp (on a Fire type, which is immune to it)

"It's completely Ineffective!"

 

Before:

Chansey used Toxic (on a Poison type which is immune to it)

"POISON Failed to have any effect"

 

After:

Chansey used Toxic (on a Poison type which is immune to it)

"It's completely Ineffective!"

 

So basically: Immune = "It's completely Ineffective!" this actually confused me before because I thought it was missing, until I discovered it's immune to it, this will help new players to know that its immune to it. Same to other moves when its used to a Pokemon which is immune to it.

When it misses:

Before:

Clefable used Thunder Wave (Then it misses)

"PARALYZE Failed to have any effect"

 

After:
Clefable used Thunder Wave (Then it misses)

"The attack misses"

 

Before:

Tangrowth used Sleep Powder (Then it misses)

"SLEEP Failed to have any effect"

 

After:

Tangrowth used Sleep Powder (Then it misses)

"The attack misses"

 

So basically: When it misses = "The attack misses" same to other moves when it misses, so it can be more understandable.

I agree that they need to reword some battlelog status events.

As is, its fine. But newer users, as you mention would have a better experience with it imo.

Even for veteran players, this could be somewhat useful. Since not everyone has the brain capacity to remember everything about any Pokemon.

+1, most battle effect chatlogs when it comes to status are incredibly confusing (to the point where I've made dumb mistakes when writing my guides). I think this was also an issue in the original games. PRO could find a way to fix these by just changing the texts accordingly.

It happens often that I try again and again and in fact the poke was immune
