A PvP suggestion (don't worry, it's a legit one)

[Heycavalier]

First of all im sorry if this should've been posted in the PvP section instead, feel free to move it.

 

I was having a talk earlier today with a friend, and at one point he tells me he fought against a Ninetales with his Ninetales as well. Now, the actual problem is this:

 

When both players have the same pokemon outside and they do the same exact move, how do you know who goes first? This is a rare occasion but it's still a problem.

 

My suggestion: Scripters (is it their job tho? not sure) could add some extra tooltip in the fight text when someone casts a move. It currently goes like this:

 

"NINETALES used NASTY PLOT" which could be -> "Enemy NINETALES used NASTY PLOT". I think this will clear the confusion in those rare cases when two same pokemon are fighting each other.

 

What do you guys think about this?

It's interesting that someone finally brought it up. Because the text "the enemy ninetales used etc etc" is actually in the handheld games. But its not just when the same two pokes are out. Its every poke that the enemy has. Especially if its status moves. I just tend to look at my pokes pp and that's how I tell if I just went or not

That actually is a nice way to check it but it's still not quite what all of us would do. I'm too lazy (not afraid to say it) and i wouldn't do it haha

+1. This is a great idea and I feel it would really be helpful to add to the game.

+1 gengar vs gengar gets confusing until you see who kills who tbh

Great suggestion, the most common annoying and confusing mirror match is no doubt Gyarados vs Gyarados since you cannot know which Gyarados is faster when dragon dancing

[Heycavalier]

haha yeah a lot of mirror matches are quite annoying because of this small detail that's missing...Glad to see you guys are liking this suggestion, let's see if any staff member can jump in and tell us if it's easy to implement (i actually think it is haha)

[Burdy]

I agree with this, i've had many battles where this occured, good post :y:

Not the scripters. This is a developer thing.

Yeah you're right but since it's only a text change, i mean the main code is already there...i guess scripters could do it too right?
