Dealing with Fly.

[Pinknblack]

So I was reading around the forums and it's pretty obvious they don't want to add in fly as this map transporting system

Without having it either

1. Be member only

2. Cost money/coins to use?

 

I find that sort of bullshit, here is why.

It's a mmo setting right?

The game franchise has had fly in it since the very beginning.

In the anime AND manga, trainers could use Pokemon to fly (HELLO. ASH AND CHARIZARD.)

But, one of the things that nobody seems to have mentioned that I have seen

 

An Energy Gauge.

 

Okay yeah now you're thinking "that's blasphemous and would never work!" Hear me out, think of it sort of like this.

 

Fly in previous gens has always been this sort of teleport you from one town to the other, UNTIL alpharuby/omegasapphire.

In which latios/latias brought something extremely new to the table: Flying through the terrain.

 

Okay now we're thinking "How would you be able to do that on this game?"

You obviously won't. Simply because you can't in the 2d version, but what you could do is make your flying type a very "fast" moving pokemon 'mount' that can ignore certain types of terrain.

 

This won't beable to be used 24/7 though, because

(This is just the idea, statistics not worked out.)

It relies on your flying type pokemons Evolution tier, level, and speed stat to determine the energy gauge.

The gauge would go down every 20 seconds you are flying by like one point, or every second by one point.

 

HOW FAST you fly, would be determined by your flying type pokemon's speed.

 

Say you got a 50 speed fearow versus a 70 speed staraptor, star would fly faster and probably have a larger gauge than fearow, enableing it to travel it's trainer farther than fearow would beable to.

You could make special 'area's that are only able to be travelled by a flying type.

 

The energy gauge could recharge over time, say once you've landed, every minute gives you two energy gauge points or something.

 

Aka if your flying between little islands, you'd fly to this one - then wait a bit, fly to the next one. More realistic right? Also certain abilities (I don't have any at the top of my head) could make this better or worse.

 

Just an Idea, feel free to hate on it as much as you want or offer suggestions to it.

We have a subway system in place instead of fly.

I do however like your idea, but I doubt it would be implemented.

I just think it would feel more .. realistic in regards to pokemon. :) hi again Lentz.

 

I mean, yeah it's a mmo, it's an game, but it would be very 'realistic' feeling. if you get what I mean?

Like on alot of games running fo rlong periods of time has a stamina gauge that drains out. Or blocking with a shield on some mmos, drains your block gauge.
