5th Gen The Generation Five Speculation Thread

[CT_400]

I'd like for them to get rid of the annoying Pokemon like Zubat, Bidoof, and Nosepass D:

I'd also like to see a better plot, interesting story, and so on...

Apparently The Pokemon Company is analyzing Nintendo's new handheld.

This means that if there is a 3rd gen remake, it could be on this console.

OH... wait i misread your message, consider the message bellow as an argument on why the generation 5 wouldnt be on the DS2:

Yes... I read the news, but wouldnt it be a bit stupid to have started on a game without knowing anything about the new console? To add to that pokemon.jp and the corocoro scan stated that it would be on the ds. You surely already know how specific they (and others) are to not confuse people, as several instructions to certain ds thing or fx: the instruction on how to transfer the Pikachu-Colored Pichu to the game.

They always specify "Turn on you ds or dsi"! they surely wouldnt want to confuse innocent minds. They would have stated that it would be on the DS2. But ofcourse i could be wrong...

I have a huge doubt that generation five will be a third generation remake. Why? Well, they've just released Zoroa and Zoroak which means that there will be all new Pokemon in this generation.

Of course. But like they did with D/P/Pt - which are not remakes and then HG/SS - remakes in the same generation. Plus, I'd love to play a R/S/E remake if I'm not too old by that time XD

i want they to change something in speed stats... i mean speed depends only what pokemon will move first, isnt it?... but its strange how a pokemon with speed 10 can hit a pokemon with speed for ex.. 200, i want speed increase "evasion" and "accuracy of all moves"

the second: (though its impossible)
for ex. in dependence of difference in speed of two pokemons increase the chance of turns in row(ex. a pokemon with speed-200 will have 2 turns in a row while the pokemon with speed-100 will move once)

I want them to approach EV and IV differently, and stop having them hidden. After all, hey did say they wanted to make them visible according o an interview (That I'm too lazy to find right now). We should have a skill point system. Every Pokemon you battle gives you 1-3 skill points/EVs, and you can allocate them to any state you want, and you could see how many points are already in each stat. The 255 per stat and 510 overall caps would still exist. IVs I don't really care about, due to how well GF managed to hide them. hey could jus have an "IV Man" who tells you your Pokemon's exact IVs.

This could make hidden mechanics a bit more accessible to everyone.

Your second suggestion is possible. Take a look at the Grandia games for what I think is the best battle system ever devised. I think that system would very much suit Pokémon.

I don't reckon they should do that, however, I think it would be a great idea to introduce a few moves that changes how many moves your Pokemon and the opponent Pokemon may make in one turn. If they do, I think it should only last for 3 turns though, it would give people a bit too much of an advantage.

Even better, they could make an ability where the Pokemon can move twice in one turn =D

And you an apparent self-acclaimed "know-it-all". If you actually read my post, I said in-game, as in battles that take place during the game, not over Wi-Fi.

So wifi isn't IN the game? You need to change the context of which you say things. Besides my point was your statement "It would make the game less strategic", which isn't true. They do it even in the anime. I can't believe they haven't done it yet. There should be an option in the menu for that. I can see how choosing everytime would be annoying but still. I'd like to turn that feature on.

Okay but why do we always get to see their pokemon first and then send out ours? Why don't they get to see ours and then send out who they choose? How would that be decided in Wifi matches? Whoever sends their pokemon out second would have an unfair advantage.

The way they have it now keeps it even, superiour battlers still imerge by switching and strategically gaining themselves an advantage.

I could be wrong but what I think he is trying to say is there should be the option to select who is brought out at the start of the battle. Not after the opponent has sent out their pokemon but before anyone sends out their pokemon. In the show when Ash gets into a match Pikachu isn't the pokemon that he always has to pick. He picks who he wants and sends them out. That is how it should be in game.

 

[Sweet Smoochum]

Thank you! If they use something like that that would also mean more tactic planning as you have to think about which of your pokemon would do best again the others

I love your idea. Sometimes, I accidentally have the wrong Pokemon at the front of my party that I don't want to gain experience or it's the wrong type match up. Usually, I only want 1 pokemon to gain experience at a time. I hope they do that in future games.

Well that's essentially what being first in your party does. But if that is what he means than I too like that idea. I like to kill wild pokemon instead of running so when I'm in cave's I often have a water type first even if it's not who I want to train at the moment.

I don't think he means have it like that for wild battles too, just trainer. Having to do that in the wild with stupid zubats attacking every 2 steps would be ridiculous. I just realized I keep saying he but I didn't even look if a guy or a girl posted that. oops, sorry if a girl said that.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that Nintengod's a 20 year old male. :P

No, no I got that, I was just saying I like that cause then I can have my water type first to battle all those wild geodudes but can also start the trainer battles off with my Pidgeotto that I want to train without changing my order. As long as that switch is made before I know what's coming out on the other end!

 

[The Jewel of Life]

Lots of good ideas circling around this tread, yes... veeery good [/creepy voice]
The idea of being able to choose which pokemon you send out first is intruguing. It could have many excellent uses like getting the pokemon you are training out right away or sending out a pokemon of a super-effective type for certain battles, as was mentioned before. However, it is true that this would get annoying in wild battles, and the whole wi-fi discussion is certainly valid, considering that the second person would most certainly be given the advantage... Finally I could send out my roleplay-knowing sableye when I see that my sister's first pokemon is her shedinja >:3. Either way, I find this idea, however debatable, a good one.

On a side note, I personally think that we need an alternate evolution for buneary, because I am still exceedingly disturbed by the horror known as a male lopunny.

Ok, I get what you mean now. That's how I want it too.

What legends does everyone think they will be?
I just hope that they do something original, I liked the idea of Greek Mythology :)

Well in wifi matches it would be decided by a coin toss, or somethin'

Couldn't agree more on the Male Lopunny thing....it's just...WEIRD. What were they thinking?
