Interface improvements

[Foxmelody]

Hello. I think the interface (such as Pokemon status screen) in PRO requires some improvements.

While the issues may seem really small by itself and dismissed by many as silly, I think they are still worth looking at.

 

Let's start by saying the key word here, which is consistency:

- The order in which statistics are listed in basically every Pokemon game is always "HP/Atk/Def/SAtk/SDef/Speed", yet, for some unknown reason, in PRO it is "Atk/Def/Speed/SAtk/SDef/HP". It may sound stupid, but why isn't it in the usual order, that I, and probably numerous players are used to? I would suggest rearranging it while it is still time, until players here get used to this order too much.

- HP display on the battle screen. Why isn't the amount of HP (in numbers) displayed next to the HP bar on the battle screen, like in any other game? That is quite a basic thing. And don't say that "you can just open status screen to check" as that is avoiding a problem instead of solving it. (BTW, I guess that is something on "yet to be programmed list", but it would be cool for the HP bar to change colour to yellow when at 50% HP)

- One can only check what a move does by using status screen, and can't do that using Pokedex, while for abilities it is the other way around, one can only check their description in Pokedex and can't in status screen.

- In Pokedex itself Pokemon list and move list are sorted ascending, yet area list is sorted descending for whatever reason.

- I know there is a chat command for checking exact friendship level, but I guess putting a mouseover on the bar, or even a number next to the bar would be nice. Alternatively, if you really don't want to put a number you could put three lines on the bar, one on 70 (starting), one on 150 (Headbutt) and one on 220 (evolution). Whatever suits you.

 

Most of this are rather small things, that shouldn't take much time, so I hope they will be received positively.

 

Other than that, I really hope adding the ability to rearrange move order is something to come out soon. :)

 

BTW, I guess adding a TM and tutor moves available for a Pokemon in its Pokedex entry would be handy. I think it could look somewhat like, levelling/TM/tutor moves lists next to each other on one tab (taking the place of current moves/areas) while areas (probably later also somehow improved) on the other tab.

Agree with all suggestions, this may take a while to be implemented (even more listing all moves from each pokemon) but the minimal details being organized in a game is always a good and convenient to have.

Yes FoxMelody I agree completely with you on these. I have also made a post mostly on small changes like this : http://viewtopic.php?f=7&t=36788

 

I 'd really like it if these suggestions could be gathered somehow. If it's annoying to post my own post here please delete it then.

So if you want, take a look.
