4th Gen The new HG SS Battle design

[Mattysaurus]

I like all of it...
It's cool how the box comes to a sharp point but it should change color with the backround...

In my opinion, they should make a background scene that fits the battles.

Example: If you encounter a pokemon in the Ilex Forest, there should be a foresty background in the battle.

And another thing: what is wrong with Pichu's ear?

There is nothing wrong with Pichu's ear. It's supposed to be like that because he is called the Notched-Ear Pichu. He appeared in the new Arceus movie.

Lugia's stance + HGSS = Pwnage.

they do that sorta but only accoding to colors....
like say if you were in the water the background would be blue if you were in a cave it would be pupleish brown etc you get what i mean

I saw this new battle system. It's a little better then the last system.
The younster's sprite changed as I can see. This looks like a better system.
I can't wait for HG/SS now.

I definitely think so. From looking at screenshots, the battle backgrounds are completely unchanged from Diamond and Pearl's (and Platinum's) gradient backgrounds. This is inexcusable for two reasons. One, battles are a key component of Pokémon, and looking at uninspiring backgrounds can really make battles look boring fast. It would give the game a lot more life if the battle backgrounds reflect the location you are in (like the GameCube games, or even other RPGs). And two, they're completely unchanged from D/P/Pt's backgrounds, which, in turn, are just Generation III backgrounds with slightly more flair (I stress the word "slightly"). And the GBA backgrounds, in turn, were bland even for their time (I've seen some obscure GBA RPG released a year before Ruby/Sapphire, yet has much more aesthetically pleasing backgrounds). They have no style whatsoever, except that the color changes depending on where you are. I remember the day I got Ruby, and was unimpressed with the backgrounds.

We live in the year 2009, and the designers can't come up with more interesting backgrounds than gradients?

Wow... i love the new backgrounds thier better them plain white...

I wish they would have kept the hp boxes back like in platinum, but i knew it wouldn't happen.
The black looked so cool though...

Is there a good reason why the pokeballs are upside down in the Rival fight pic?

 

[Weatherman Kiyoshi]

Kind of funky to me,

NOTCHED EAR PICHU IS AMAZING AND ADORABLE. <3

 

[Giratina55]
