About Poison
 
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 April 7th, 2011 8:25 AM

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 April 7th, 2011 9:00 AM

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

Clairissa April 7th, 2011 9:59 AM

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 April 7th, 2011 10:44 AM

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 April 7th, 2011 11:18 AM

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

Lautrec April 7th, 2011 11:20 AM

Its like drowning in the Sonic franchise.

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

Superjub April 7th, 2011 11:27 AM

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 April 7th, 2011 11:48 AM

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.

JP April 7th, 2011 12:36 PM

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 April 7th, 2011 1:02 PM

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 April 7th, 2011 3:18 PM

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 April 7th, 2011 4:16 PM

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 April 7th, 2011 4:19 PM

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 April 7th, 2011 4:30 PM

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 April 7th, 2011 4:55 PM

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

PlatinumDude April 8th, 2011 3:49 AM

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.

tjb90 April 8th, 2011 5:42 AM

I don't miss it! I hated it always hurting my Pokemon.

Nilz April 8th, 2011 5:44 AM

I did think it made more sense but I don't miss it too much, it was always a pretty annoying feature I felt.

Zeffy April 8th, 2011 5:50 AM

I don't care about it at all. Its actually better, its something that I've overjoyed knowing. I've always hated the "HAHAH YOU DIE IN A FEW STEPS! POISON IS EBIL! MUAHAHAHA" thing. I was relieved when I heard about this.

OneofFour April 8th, 2011 6:43 AM

Well, nostalgia dictates that I should miss it and the crunching sound of a pokemon dying with the screen blipping, but I don't know, like many of you I carry so many full heals that if I had not tested it one day to hear the sound, I probably never would have noticed.

AusDon April 8th, 2011 7:27 AM

I feel like the pokemon games keep getting more and more dumbed down.
