Oh Noes, Teh Gym Leader Used a Full Restore!!!

[ChrisTom]

God, I hate it when this happens. But yes, it is a natural occurence in the gameplay, especially when dealing with high A.I.

GRAAAHHH I HATE IT.
I especially hate it in the E4.
Damn those Elite trainers with their l33t full restores...

[RevengeOO7]

LOL. Honestly, if you can use x1000 of any item, I think they can use one. ; )

 

[RelentlessRamenRaider]

Something similar to this is when Trainers get their pokemon to use rest, repeatatively, after you keep hitting them with a move that leaves them in the critical.

For example, Byrons Bastiodon. When I battle him, I hit him with flamethrower and it brings him down to the red. This goes on for 8-10 turns and then I just use an X-special or something to eliminate him.

I always think, "C'mon, just let your Poke' lose already!!!!!"

OMG, I was playing Emerald today, and the battery was reeaaally low.
I was at Wallace's last Pokémon... Can't remember which =D, and Wallace kept using Full restores.
I was using Rayquaza btw... (Desperate =D)

I don't mind it either. ^^ Usually.. they're quite easy to beat anyways.. And they never use items when they need to be used! :P

 

[Pokestick good times.]

Yeah... Their game AI may be high, but no pre-Battle Frontier NPC with ~5 Healing items can beat a hardcore gamer with hundreds of them... Or we're all doomed.

So as I (and plenty of others after me) already said, I think we can allow them to use one or two, when we can use more... Atleast as long as they don't carry around those darn Max Revives XD

Although it can be annoying, I think this improves gameplay because just as you think you have the battle won, the trainer/leader w/e uses a full restore, and it totally turns the battle around. Now it's you on the back foot.

 

[GlitchCity]

It's apart of the pokemon world I guess. I have gotten used to it, but when Im fighting the E4, that's when I start to loose it lol.

 

[Lucariotoes]

While I must admit it's annoying, it adds a little more realism since you, the player, can already have an unfair advantage and use healing items on your 'mons.

...just glad they don't use Revives, though.

 

[Shakespeare]

It's not exactly THAT annoying, It's all a part of Pokemon. I mean, you use healing items too - why shouldn't gym leaders/elite 4?





Exactly.

 

[pikachumaster]

dont you think its annoying when they use a full restore right when you fainted them!

 

[AmbiantShine]

yeah, it's annoying, but funny. After all, we can do it, so why shouldn't they be able to as well?
Funny post by the way :D
