Battle process a bit too slow?
Well I began to play Heartgold the other night on an emulator because my ds broke :(. I started to play and everything went over smoothly and it runs as if it were on a ds. My only issue with it is that in combat everything is so bloody slow... I do not mean that the emulator is not working properly I mean performing a single action a simple battle (example: one move kills the pokemon) takes at least two minutes. Granted two minutes is not long but compared to 2nd and 3rd gen games where I could complete most matches within 30-40 seconds it is a slow down... for me.

the battle system is somewhat slow i feel sometimes even the gameboy color games can run faster then this!
|
I was playing Pokemon Diamond recently, and I found that battling was rather slow..
It made me want to stop playing, so I did. x: |
I agree, The battle system could use some speeding up. But I can understand why though, with all the new fancy graphics and such is bound to slow it down.

Actually Heartgold is ok... Black/White I do not know...

I was playing SoulSilver a while back, and couldn't help but notice a battle speed reduction in comparison to my Black game. Then again, it seems like the battle speeds of Gen I-III are also much slower comparitively speaking. Personally, I do like that this seems to be increasing with each generation, and while I might think that Black/White might have the optimal speed, in a few years time I might disagree completely given the new speed of Gen VI!
|
HGSS aren't as bad as DP. Those are slow running games. In my experience, gen IV overall is the slowest. Gens I-III and V are all decent and playable speeds.
|
They are rather slow compared to the other games, but I'm guessing this was to highlight the new attack animations and overall graphics.
|
D/P feel like obvious betas thanks to their ludicrously slow processing. Pt/HG/SS are tolerable speedwise, but B/W finally got the processing down and run the fastest of any pokemon game.
|
In D/P, I couldn't help but notice how slow the battle process was compared to the games before and after it. I guess it's because GameFreak had a lot of game information to store in one cartridge.
|
So long as I haven't played any other Pokemon games recently, I don't find the battle system too terribly slow in Gen IV. The only thing I find horribly slow is the surfing in Diamond (I think they fixed it later). :P But if I have played any of the other main games before picking up a Gen IV title, I find it insufferable. Luckily, I don't cross gens very often when I play the franchise.
|
I have to agree completely, the battle system felt like something was lagging for me...
|
This is the main reason I've yet to replay Pearl - whenever I feel like restarting my game, I play a little bit of my current save first, end up getting frustrated at how sluggish it feels, particularly compared to Gen V, then I just give up. It's a shame, since I really want to try the games out again now that I'm more familiar with the game mechanics and whatnot (I essentially played like a complete newbie to the franchise the first time through...)
|
Honestly, I'm so used to playing GBA hacks on emulators that all the cartridge games feel slow to me.
Speed button is my favorite thing forever and nothing will change that. |
Yes. The gameplay is sooooooooo ungodly slow. Don't get me wrong, its still fun, but everything just takes forever. The process of Leftovers healing a Pokemon takes 3 seconds. That may not sound like alot of time, but when you're playing against somebody else and wanna get the turns over with, its SO BORING. I also hated HOW THEY NEEDED TO REMIND YOU THAT THERE IS A WEATHER EFFECT EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TURN. Glad that in Gen V, you get Buffeted, turn over. Simple as that.
|
I noticed immediately the sluggish pace of the health bars; even at the beginning. In terms of 3-step encounters in caves and in waters, it CAN be a bit frustrating when you re-encounter TENTACOOL after TENTACOOL. But It's easy to get over when you really enjoy a POKeMON installation.
|
All of Gen.IV is terribly slow for me, especially D/P. Everything from 1HKO'ing a Zubat to the surfing was dreadfully boring. Don't get me wrong, I love D/P, it's just a little annoying when it takes well over a minute to knock out a Starly. Platinum and HG/SS were bearable, but I can't even play D/P without whining about the slowness within the first five minutes of gameplay.
|
The HGSS battle process is much better than DPPt battle process. The DPPt battle process is unbearable when comparing it to the other games.
|
I've never felt that it was all that slow in HeartGold and Platinum, but then again, I've never played D/P or B/W. I agree that the health bar does take a little bit longer to go down than it did in Gen3, but not by so much that it makes me want to turn off the game.
