| stu_ said: I was thinking about this just yesterday actually. Id quite like to change the battle xp system slightly so that you gain experience as the battle happens (like after every turn), meaning that pokemon could learn new moves or evolve during a battle to make it more like the tv series, instead of waiting till the battle is over. |
Every time I start thinking about how the Pokémon games can evolve going forward, I inevitably come upon the bolded phrase within my own thoughts, and I promptly punch myself in the face. And trust me, it happens a lot. Evolution during battle seems very dramatic and stuff, but applying it to the actual game would be a nightmare. Nothing should be changed about these games solely for the sake of making them more like the animé -- if anything, it's the other way around.
Otherwise we'll wind up asking GameFreak to find a way to implement Aiming for the Horn into the games.
Specifically, I cought myself thinking earlier about how cool it would be to actually have to compete in a tournament and win at the end of the game before being allowed to battle the Elite 4. Then I realized that the only reason I wanted that was because it's how the animé does things, and that it would be kind of dumb if the game actually worked that way.
