4th Gen The new HG SS Battle design

[P l a t i n u m]

Looks really good. can't wait for the game.​

i dont see much of a change exept for the bars, hope some new moves will be released in these games, but i guess that a bit hard since these moves wont be compatible with previous games, although they did that in DPPt

 

[Asztrik]

I like this a lot better than platinum's interface.

 

[JP]

These are nice, I like the "wind blown" kind of look. Platinum had a better color option though.

My thoughts exactly. Platinum's were a better color indeed.

 

[incognito322]

I agree as well; the color scheme for the boxes is like the D/P colors. The slanted look makes it look more modern. It probably would have looked better with a gold/silver color scheme.

 

[Ayselipera]

I liked the Platinum boxes better, but I really don't care either way.

I lyk the new box thingees, plus i love the new pichu sprites^-^
plus seeing this could it mean that you can battle em both or is this just a wifi battle(cuz theres no exp thing)?

The two new Pichus came along great together. The Pikachu Colored Pichu looks like it is the same sprite from DPPt with just minor alternations. The Notch Eared Pichu however came a long better in my opinion and simply looks cute in battle. Though, they probably will keep the difference between male and female as it was done in DPPt. Now, when I say this, I do not mean there was a difference on how they were positioned, but the female Pikachu and Raichu had a little indent on their tail compared to the male Pikachu and Raichu sprites. In this battle though, they gave the Notched Pichu a total redesign from the regular Pichu sprite, which is new and I like the idea of it.

Now, as for the Health Box, they never show the Exp. points in double battles. They do appear through Wi-Fi [only in single matches] but it never changes in anyway. So, that has been kept the same here as was for the games before it. I like the sleek look and it is a lot simpler. Platinum's Health Bar does have a better design, I agree, but these are not half bad. I especially favor the smooth slant at the edge of it. Over all, a decent job and keeps me looking forward to what is next.

[PKMNgamer]

Yeah... all of the pokemon. imagine groudon xD and I love the battle design... I hated the black HP boxes in Platinum... ugh... I love these. very cool.

 

[Ritchie]

These ones look good, but I'd rather keep Platinum ones.

 

[Samme!]

Hmm.... I wonder if the battle they are showing is from Soul Silver because the HP box is silver and maybe in Heart Gold the HP box is gold??? I doubt it but that'd be kinda cool i guess

 

[Pokedra]

Those Pichu sprites are adorable 8D

The battle screen looks cleaner and better then Platinum in my opinion.

 

[Artemis]

These ones look good, but I'd rather keep Platinum ones.

The only reason why I really believe Platinum's Health Bar has been altered was to match the basic theme off of Giratina. The black extended design off of the HP nicely matched his Ghost type appearance along with the darker gray style background set. So, I would see the reason why it was reverted back to the silver and simpler look like how it was in Diamond and Pearl as the game doesn't really have much correlation with Giratina besides the Arceus event. However, the different shape of it simply makes it its own rather than taking the direct look off of Diamond and Pearl.

You know, this is a cool idea, but I wouldn't like to see the Silver style turn Gold. In my opinion it might not have looked as appealing as it does now. Not to forget, the difference in HP Bars were never changed according to the version of the game, however it could be possible [a lot of new features never seen before have been implemented in these remakes compared to past games]. Though, I'd rather it remain [in both games] how it is portrayed here. It is a lot more simpler and easier to focus on, especially for those who player both versions over one.

 

[DassenSupes]

I feel pretty indifferent o it, as long as the more important things are updated, like making it actually a challenge.

 

[alisaie]

I never actually saw the Platinum HP bars (or at least long enough to have an opinion), but the boxes do look nice; much better than the D/P ones. -nod-

 

[Masta Trainer]

the pichu on the left looks pretty cool, i hope that they apply that to other pokemon as well

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

I agree as well; the color scheme for the boxes is like the D/P colors. The slanted look makes it look more modern. It probably would have looked better with a gold/silver color scheme.

G/S (or even Crystal for that matter) had a color scheme?

 

[NickAlert]

plus seeing this could it mean that you can battle em both or is this just a wifi battle(cuz theres no exp thing)?

Thats WiFi. You can tell because of the WiFi bars at the top right

I think you misunderstood what this person was trying to say. It wasn't meant to say that they Health Bar should match that of the original Gold and Silver games, but the actual color of what it is now should have been a mix of gold and silver instead. It was an easy misunderstanding, but I prefer it how it is now [a lot more simplier with its own originality] rather than having a mix of two colors. Two colors like that together mixed might have been to much. Plus, nothing overly done needs to be implemented for this as it is only to keep track of the remaining life while in battle or out of it, so it isn't an excessive deal to me, but at least it was put to have a nice appearance for the most part.

 

[Shem]

I like the sleek look to the boxes, but why don't they have an exp bar in the double battles still? There's obviously room.

I like the Notched ear and pikachu colored pichu sprites, but I wonder what the regular Pichu sprites look like now. And do you think you can catch one of the Pichus? Obviously not both but one or the other. that would be cool, i wonder how the notched ear Pichu would look like as Pikachu or a Raichu...
