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)

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...

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...

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

Its like drowning in the Sonic franchise.

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

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.

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.

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...

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 :/

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.

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.
