5th Gen About Poison

[Wasen]

Am I the only one that actually miss that the poison would still affect the pokemon even outside battle? I mean, now poison is more like a burn except that strenght in not halved (Not talking about badly poisoned)

 

[Miss Doronjo]

This is kind of more reffering to a B/W mechanic, I suppose, so I'll move this over to B/W.

Forever or Kaori can maybe decide what to do from here...

 

[LilacArcanine]

I miss it too... I even preferred in Gen IV when it would peter down to 1HP...

 

[Clairissa]

Huh, it doesn't? Doesn't that sort of defeat the whole threat of poisoning? It always made sense, but I always have antidotes/full heals/full restores with me, so I never noticed it doesn't, if anyone in my party gets poisoned, I always healed them up...

 

[The_Noob]

Yeah, same here. It kind of broke the immersion first time playing.

Noob out.

Same thing. They should have kept it in my opinion.

 

[imevil]

yeah i was confused when i saw that, but i think that they shou;d have left it there

Its like drowning in the Sonic franchise.

It annoys the hell out of us, but it just doesn't seem right without it.

 

[Superjub]

I concur with the above post. While I alsways hated dying of poison, it felt odd when I first found out that it doesn't have an effect on the field. And yeah, i kind of miss it. I mean, having t rush to the Pokemon Centre as fast as you could was kinda fun. XD I hope that they reintroduce it in the third game (if there is a third game).

Same.

When I first noticed my pokemon wasn't being hurt from poison I was like "Huh...? Is it supposed to be like that?" and when I realized it was, I was actually kind of glad. Though oddly...it feels odd.

 

[Braeden23000]

I always hated that, and I am doing a Nuzlocke challenge now, if this still existed, I would have lost already, so I am glad.

I was really surprised the first time my Pokemon got poisoned and nothing happened outside the battle. It was a pleasant surprise though. I'm happy with the change, and I understand why people dislike it. I have absolutely no problem with them taking it out of the game, but I suppose I won't be freaking out either if they ever decide to make it come back.

 

[Eurydice]

i am glad they took it out. i can see why some people complain but i am actually glad its gone. my pokemon faint to much as it is XD

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

It freaked me out at first that it didn't hurt me...guess I got used to it after two gens of shaking screen...and running to a pokemon center...

 

[Rai]

I am surprised they took it out. It's been around since the first game, why take it out now?

I am glad for my pokemon's sake that they took it out, but it kind of ruins the nonstalgia :/

 

[blakeg]

Huh, never knew that. It kind of takes the point out of being poisoned. Wait, so i wasted all those full heals? They should definatley bring it back in the next game whatever it is.

there will probely be a third game..... Gray

 

[Fire Walker]

Not that I agree with it... but it is more realistic. Like, if you were shot during, say, a gang war, then you would eventually heal and get better. I think they should have made it progressively less damaging. IMO, that's the best option.

 

[mikey]

Ew, I hated that so much. I am so glad they took that aspect out xD

 

[PlatinumDude]

I don't miss poison damaging my Pokemon outside of battle at all. It was annoying walking around with poison chipping away at my Pokemon's health every few steps.
