What if pokemon games were not turnbased?

    Yep, the nine-and-under demographic certainly has the dexterity for Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger-style RPG battles. Hell, It was hard for me to get used to CT's battle system when I first played it at sixteen. XD

    If Nintendo would stop marketing the games to younger kids and focus on their thirteen-and-up fanbase, this might be plausible in the future. :D

    except, the one thing nice about turn-based is that you're never in a rush.

    Sometimes I will start a battle and just leave it sitting until I get a snack or pee, or something ^.^


    AND YES, WASH MY HANDS.

    Very nice animation.I like the menu,so big and fun to read. @__@
    Anyways..if Pokemon wasn't turnbased/an RPG,You'll probably be having to either use your control pad and Letter Buttons fast. Or atleast using your stylus like mad.

    Admittedly, it would be interesting, but I agree with 560 cool. It would simply be a matter of whoever attacks fastest wins.

    Not really, different attacks would take longer for you to recover from, and the better trained your pokemon is, the better it listens. It would take just as much stategy as the turnbase games, except you have to think faster. It would be just like the battles in the show.

    If Nintendo would stop marketing the games to younger kids and focus on their thirteen-and-up fanbase, this might be plausible in the future. :D

    Haha, yeah, that's what I was thinking, little kids would probably be too slow and dumb to be able to do this.

    Pretty much it would be like playing final fantasy except your using pokemon in battle to battle other pokemon. If this happened I would probably be playing pokemon a lot more lol. I like your little animation thing by the way.

    I would love to see this made into a game, if only as a test.

    I think the system would be easy to get used to and it would make the game feel more fast pased like a Pokemon battle should be.

    thumbs up on the awesome idea.

    One thing I like about Pokémon is its turn-based nature. While I think your idea is pretty neat, and possibly even warranting a spin-off, I love not being rushed. :P

    You'd get the original Digimon World. Not a bad game, actually. Different moves take a certain amount of time to "load up" before being executed. A Digimon using a move that took a while, like Buster Dive, could be canceled out by quicker moves like Sonic Jab. Meanwhile, Speed would not determine who attacks first, but how often each one attacks.

    Of course, it wouldn't work out as well without the game's other features. Features that defined the game outside of battle were the fact that evolutions were determined by parameters such as stats, weight, happiness, care mistakes, etc. (Imagine your partner being like Eevee or Tyrouge no matter who you had) The fact that you raise them from birth, rather than caught them, would only work in conjunction with the strength purely being determined by stats, no level. To make sure that you can't mindlessly max everything out like you can in many Pokemon games, they died of old age after a while. That meant you had to learn how to make the most of your time, balancing your stat training just right in order to get anywhere in the game.
