If the Pokemon strike eachother...

[Superkid11]

Now don't get me wrong, I'm VERY psyched about BR, but I just noticed something.

If the Pokemon are actually going to be shown hitting eachother when using physical attacks, then some of them may be more unsettling for younger or more sensitive players.
Here's an imaginary battle between Pikachu and Tyrannitar:

Pikachu used Thunder Wave! Tyrannitar is paralyzed, it can't move!

Tyrannitar used Crunch!

... yeah, that might not be so pretty. O_o

... or what about "Steelix used Crunch!"? o.o

I've also heard that the direct contact is an OPTION. You can have...

Contact
No-Contact
Alteration
Random

...from the videos I've seen.

If contact is an option, it will make the game more realistic. In every new version of the console game, I was hoping for this.

Yea me too and seeing that first video of Pikachu using a Quick attack on that Deoxys, I was shocked but never knew that it was an option

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

 

[Latias418]

I don't think it's an option. And not all attacks are physical. For example, Crunch was like it was in other games, IIRC. Also, not all attacks connect although they make it look like.

 

[Te-em]

What?! Is it bad that they hit each others physically? Me and my friend think the Colloseum and DX so stupid because the pkmn hit the air and still strike the oppoenent. The game makers cannot do it better than that? Old games looks like that, Final Fantasy 6 for instance, but Colloseum is Game Cube! I felt so happy when I saw a video of Battle Revolution when the Pokémon went to each others when attacking, just like other RPG games to Playstation1-2 and Gamecube.

 

[Master Kwesi Nkromah]

i agree with te-em, the developers of the Pokemon line should have up'ed their game a long time ago. when gamecube came out and the first Pokemon title along with it.. it was understandable that it was almost an identical copy of the gb versions.. but that type of low effort game programming is no longer acceptable in my view. I REALLY want to see a Pokemon title take advantage of everything the Wii offers this time around.

 

[Law07]

Unsettling my ass thats what pokemon is about! Things hitting eachother with big fire balls and big strikes of absolute whoop ass!

They should make pokemon a 12+ and make the game so much more cooler.

Or Grand Theft Auto Kanto!

 

[~Misty~]

I'd rather have Contact, I've always wanted it to be like the show!

Show = No good, imo.

Anyways, I was thinking that they should make physical contact in these Pokemon games...

 

[pkmn foreva]

yh i would prefer contact

The ratings for Pokemon Games are never gonna go up cause they generally started out as {E} games. Plus nothing about Pokemon would make sense in a {T} rated game. If you had people actually getting killed then you would have to make the pokemon battles concept the same rating. And to me that's just dumb.

Plus moves like crunch and bite I think have the pokemon making contact but have the same attack animations from Collosseum and XD.

I LOL at Grand Theft Auto Kanto.

 

[Spinor]

WOW!i was so exited when i saw prerelease videos,and i also saw some videos in the japanese and they were actiony along wih more info,and i would have contact on the game

Come on, Pokémon are not just two monsters looking at each other staying still and making fangs appear in front of the other. For a battle to be realistic, they actually have to hit each other. That's why is a Pokémon BATTLE.

Look, I don't want to see Pokémon bleeding or spliting in two, but I wanted to see this kind of battles a lot of time ago....

Awsome, what should I be searching for on google?

I dont' understand what you said.

 

[Fox♠]

If they can make Bowser smash pichu up in SSBM, then I don;t see why anyone should have a problem with it in BR.

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

I was surprised too but I liked it because it spices up the game and makes it much more realistic.

Agreed. As long as games look like a real battle, they'll be okay. The graphics in the GBA and DS are getting better, but I hate when some fangs appear from nothing and hit the other Pokémon while the one who made the move doesn't even move!

 

[Overclocked]

I dont' understand what you said.

What should I be searching on google to find information about this game. e.g. pokemon, hurt, contact, Wii.
