5th Gen The Generation Five Speculation Thread

[SolarAbusoru]

Hmm, I wonder, since VS Mugshot sprites have now become part of the Pokemon series, do you think we'll get 1/2 body VS sprites, so that the character is visible from the waist up? I think that would be pretty neat.

I am really looking forward to some more useful Ghost Types... and I had this idea a while back about a Knight Armor based Ghost/Steel type named Knieerie, I would love to see something like that. Would be an actual Physical Ghost-Type.

Like one of those medieval suits of armor in old houses/mansions etc., and its haunted by a ghost? :O

So looking at the screenshots on the site, I guess it's safe to say that the camera does pan in battles? The background image isn't as "clean" as it has been before and also the sprites have been resized. So I'm assuming there's a pseudo 3D effect going on here where the camera "pans" around and there are multiple sprites for different angles that get resized according to their position from the camera.

That and hopefully a powerful Ghost type move that any Ghost Pokemon can learn. Shadow Force is awesome, but it blows that only Giratina can learn it.

Umm, moves like Shadow Force are not that great for competitive play though... but yeah, more strong Ghost type move would be great. And I think the should be a weather effect for Poison Types (<33) Acid Rain anyone?

 

[SolarAbusoru]

Maybe we'll get an electric weather effect from that cave, say Magnetic Field, paralyses all non-electric/rock/ground types in the party. (reminds me of that cave from Final Fantasy IV)

They have that in duel monsters too...

Too "watery". I prefer something like the Smog, back from the original Ranger. <3

 

[Haza]

Oh yeah! That's even more unique than my suggestion. Smog can take down health every round like hail and maybe heal certain Poison types with a corresponding ability.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

Sounds good.

A weather for every type perhaps? 8D

Probably not.

 

[Haza]

Acid Rain could could corrode Steel Types, giving it a 2x weakness to it, and also giving Poison some type of advantage over Steel.

Edit: Sounds like an awesome ability of some sort of Poison Type Legendary...

 

[Binary]

A poison legendary sounds cool. I'm getting sick of fire, ice, lightning, water, rock and psychic legendaries.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

Oh, and just to get some oldies started again, thatwill never be finished speculating about:

Moar Fire types, gen 4 had like one or two (not counting starter), and none before national dex D:
Dating NPC~
Customizable Trainer card, on PC perhaps?
Good evos... I like evos, as long as they're good (which Lickylicky, Tangrowth and Rhyperior wasn't)

Hee hee, this should get you guys started :D

 

[Mujahid]

Acid rain will be the best thing everr !!!..it will officially be my favorite gen. if they introduce it...and maybe a drought/drizzle like ability to summon acid rain...awesome !!

 

[Haza]

I can also imagine a wasp line this time around, better than Beedrill

Squittle - A round fat swuishy caterpillar Pokemon
Shellcoon - Black round hard shell caccoon Pokemon
Waspenom - Black wasp thingy :P

I had a similar idea to yours, Ghost/Steel; called them Sketal (Skeleton + Metal, also a shortened 'Skeletal') and Skulrac (pretty obvious, Skull Rack sounds damn cool ^^). Evolves normally at lvl 28.
Will upload them at some point (I have sketches) but in the pkmn idea thread (if you guys want me to : ) ).

 

[Miralci]

Hmm, imagine the dating NPC-thing... What would you be able to do? Battle against/with each other? Go on "missions"? Giving/Getting gifts? Will there be a story behind it? What are the benefits?
Just wondering about the idea a bit... (I like it btw xD)

Dude, that move had been in my head for like.. years

Ten year olds don't tend to have serious relationships like this.
