4th Gen lol is team galactic that dumb?

[zerwey]

I don't know.

Maybe because Mars is a CPU and doesn't have twenty Full Restores to toss around like most Trainers do?

Yeah....if they did, Pokemon would be so unfair-- you'd have to one-hit KO them or hit them and take out half their HP then do it again on the next turn...xP

 

["Shadow Lugia"]

I would settle just for semi-intelligent AI that didn't cheat at the battle frontier.

I've honestly found the Battle Frontier AI to be more stupid than the normal AI on multiple occasions.

 

[Nnoitra Jiruga]

I don't know.

Maybe because Mars is a CPU and doesn't have twenty Full Restores to toss around like most Trainers do? Or because the Bronzong just got unlucky with its Confusion status?

I lol'd. Yes I spam Full Restores8 DD
Yeah, Mars is a CPU so, yeah.

 

[Haza]

It makes me wonder; if Pokémon were to suddenly have extremely amazing AI, would everyone complain about it instead?

I for one would actually love it if this happened. I think Platinum already improved this but if in game players were competitive it would be awesome.

 

[warudo.kun!]

I never took Team Galactic seriously anyway. I mean seriously. Look at their hair. >_>;

[Curt_09]

Unless you've trained ridiculously high or are just grinding it, the game is difficult enough. Think about it; Nintendo still thinks that the largest fanbase for Pokemon is like 8-12 year olds. I know a kid that's like seven who plays Platinum.
So, to answer the question - Mars isn't supposed to be that hard to beat.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEIR HAIR IS AMAZING.
... I'm kidding, of course.

I dunno. Maybe Mars did what I do; cross her fingers and hoper her karma wasn't bad enough that Bronzong would hit itself. (If I decide to barrel up to the Elite Four without any training after the 8th Gym, I'm typically using the same strategy by the third trainer.)

Or maybe she'd loaned her last Full Restore to Jupiter. Or maybe she actually hates Bronzong as much as the rest of us do and gets a perverse pleasure out of watching hers faint. Or maybe on an unconscious level she wants to see Cyrus's plan fail. Or maybe she was trying to get a Full Restore out of her pocket but couldn't get it out before Bronzong hit itself. (Hey, that dress is pretty skin-tight.)

Hey, everyone else has contributed the answers that use "game mechanics" logic. (Everyone else has contributed the same answers about ten times. ¬.¬) I'll gladly provide the "in the game universe" logic.

ahem you get items out of your bag

 

[Curt_09]

ahem you get items out of your bag

You fail to see the point...

 

[Giratina ♀]

ahem you get items out of your bag

[clears throat with an 'ahem' sound] The protagonists do.

Where, exactly, does Mars haul around a bag? O_o And yes, you're missing Curt's point completely. We're all talking about game logic, and Curt openly says he's talking about in-universe logic. And what do you do? Say '[ahem] You get items out of your bag.' Game logic.

 

[Ultima0071]

I have an idea that all trainers, if they have items, can only use them once in every certain amount of turns. For example, the the Pokemon League, they can only use one Full Restore.

 

[Penumbra]

Mars is the. um. Red-haired one, right?
Well yeah, Team Galactic IS that stupid
(Eterna HQ ftl. Battled them anyway.),
but I'm not sure if you're being person-specific.

Well, she's not important since she has no
sprite animation, so I guess she's just meant
to be a pushover, whose seemingly strong due to
the (only) 3 pokemon she carries..

I wonder what happens if Mars met competitive online battling
and EV Training.
​

 

[Zelda]

Well I must say that I battled one in Eterna City, and they didn't use their super potion, or whatever potion they have when they were on red.

Maybe they didn't have one but they didn't use it anytime before.

 

[Tyrantrum]

When designing the game, Nintendo made it so they do not have any type of healing and/or stat boosting items. (Like: Hyper Potions, Full Heals, X Attacks, etc.)

 

[zerwey]

Actually Cyrus does have Full Restores, as well as the Elite 4, League Champion, and some Gym Leaders.

 

[Curt_09]

O_o And yes, you're missing Curt's point completely. We're all talking about game logic, and Curt openly says he's talking about in-universe logic.

Read up, that's not my point....

Nope, on one occaision one of the E4 used 3 Full Restores on me. That was just unlucky I guess, I'm not sure, but they usually only use 2. But this is usually when your pokes are still Level 50-60 when you first go to the Pokemon League, can't always one shot them.
