Trainer 1: I can't believe it, my Dragonite lost to pichu!
Trainer 2: What happened?
Trainer 1: Well, while Dragonite began safe guarding, pichu used its charm technique. Then it pulled off an attract and began to use a sweet kiss....
Trainer 2: Then what happened?
Trainer 1: Trust me, you do NOT want to know what happened.

Hehehe, I'm a sick boy ^_^

I always thought that Flash was an electric attack that ignored the type chart. Maybe it should be in PokéAdvance. This goes for other attacks as well.

A better Rock Smash would be nice...

Furthermore, now that GS lists the attack powers of each attack, the next step is for PokéAdvance is to list what type of Hidden Power (type and power) in the attack menus. The downside, though, is that little kiddies would say "Hidden Power is not a Ghost type attack, it's a Bug type!" (Replace Ghost and Bug with any two other types)

Pokémon should have moods as well. Perhaps the Pokémon is on a hot streak and its accuracy and attack power would be boosted, or it's an off day and their attacks keep missing or does very little damage.

There should also be an "area damage" attack which hurts benched Pokémon.

I love the idea of having to actualy take care of your pokemon, feed them and stuff. And this could have effect on them in battle, like, maybe if they're too hungry their defence goes down, or if they're too tired their atack goes down, something like that, or maybe even if you feed them too much there speed goes down, cuz they get fat! heh...

Just what, exactly, is wrong with you, k mouth?

Although how people had fun taking care of lumps of pixels i don't know.

Well, seeing as the GBA can hook up to the Gamecube, I think it would be neat to be able to play Pokemon Advance on my TV a la Stadium. Maybe add a Doduo/Dodrio mode, but only after doing something in the game. I think this would be nice, because I'd be able to assemble my team and get them up to level 100 quickly without having to wait for another Stadium game. The less time to train, the more time to get out there and kick some ass. ^-^

Poison/Steel Muk evolution? Can anybody say Earthquake?

Venusaur with Earthquake? Pokemon is about what the Pokemon SHOULD be able to use, now what would be convinient for strategy. Just like the super-strong ghost idea: should ghosts be strong? No, they lack physical form. They are the embodiment of special attackedness. Should ghost even by physical damage? Hel freakin' no, but I'm sure they have some reasoning behind it.

Levitating Pokemon? You - ahhh!
That is just bad influences brought on by the anime. Nothing ever said that they float. Look in the one episode: Geodude bounced.
Geodude isn't a flying type and (unlinke Venomoth and Beedrill who should be flying but have poison, so its no-go) has no wings or other indications of levitation.
Koffin', though, is gas. I guess it really should be some sort of flying type, but I guess it doesn't weigh in enough to modify its typage.

------------------
Visit Reality's End, the Home Page of Phantasy and the R.E. League

I don't see why Venusaur shouldn't learn EQ. It's big, and low to the ground...

Levitating Pokemon? <snip>

I see your point about Geodude, but it's pretty obvious that Magnemite/ton were intended to levitate in the game.

One idea I've had recently is the concept of triple-typed Pokemon. I'm not sure if this had been brought up already, but anyway...

There's some Pokemon that really should be three-typed. How Gyarados is NOT a Dragon Pokemon defies description.

Also, there was the example cited earlier about how Beedrill/Venomoth should be Flying Pokemon.

And, for those who are worried about these Pokemon getting whacked, the types could be crafted to avoid 6x weaknesses. For example, a Water/Flying/Dragon Gyarados would only take 2x damage from T-Bolt.

1) Type balancing...New types, maybe? But something to balance out Posion/Grass types. Better moves for Flying/Grass/Dark. Sky Attack is just too risky, and only Moltres gets in GSC.
2) Pokemon with triple types. Nothing ridiculous, just the Pokemon who need it, like Venomoth and Beedrill. Someone pointed this out on AGNP...not my idea
3) Better moves and stat tweekage for non-viable Pokes. Maybe even a new evolution or two, like a Fire/Steel for Magcargo, Defense boost, speed lost (like he needs it), and loss of 4x water weakness. And a Kanaskhan prevolution ta boot. *wishes the baby wasn't in the pouch* It just looks like bad parenting...
4) Pokemon personalities. The personality will develop and grow due to their species and the way the trainer treats them. A Pokemon could become vicious and score more CHs in battle, and Overzealous Pokes could attack first sometimes.
5) Wild Pokemon with bred moves. For example, you spy in your little eye a Skarmory in a territory that also has wild Doduos and Fearows.You catch the Skarmory and it has Drill peck. Completely random and slighty useful. Also, you should be able to catch Pokemon that have variations in the moves they learn. Instead of a Wooper learning Amnesia at Level 21, he's a little slow and learns it at L23.
Other than that, that's all I can think of.

I think they should give the Legendaries genders. They wouldn't be breedable, but it doesn't seem right to me that a creature like Serebii, Entei, Articuno, or Lugia would just be an "it."

*Damns Nintendo*

I got the image from here.

And as for the actual topic, I must say that all that is required to balance out the game is:

a)A 95 power grass attack available to all or at least most grass types. They would become popular to counter ground and water, and for their anti-electric strength.
b)poison super-effective against... electric. Electric needs more than 1 type weakness to help make up for their insane speed and nice special stats, and FUCKING THUNDER WAVE ARG ARG HATE.

...And I'd like to see a cactus pokemon. It could be called "Cactusk", or "Cactuft". Also, I am insane.

[EDIT: Me no good with tags.]

I'd say leave Electrics as they are. They fill a certain niche, and they fill it nicely.

"That's 'Therapists,' not 'The Rapists.'"
-(Saturday Night Live Celebrity Jeopardy Skit)

And about ground. Half of them are 4* weak to water and grass. The other half it doesn't matter because they lack special defense anyways. Thick club Marowak, I believe, was probably the factor that made people think electrics are "weak". But Thick Club Marowak is not that great. Maybe he is on paper, but in practice he's easy to counter. I've used him extensively, and without baton passed agility he goes down easily to ice or water.

Acid: I would increase the rate of defense lowering to 40 or 50% and make it so it lowers it by 2 stages instead of 1.

Teleport: I would make it so that you can switch Pokemon without losing a turn using this attack. I think its an exclusive enough attack that it wouldn't unbalance the game, but people might start only using the Pokemon that can learn it. I dunno, what do you guys think?

Splash: Add a 40% or 50% flinch rate but not let this attack do any damage. You could use it to stall for poison or burning to do damage or something.

Razor wind: I have a few different idea's for this one.
-Change to flying (has it been already?)
-add stat boosting or lowering effects to it.
or
-make it into a weather effect (and probably make an opposite). It would still do damage. On the first turn the weather effect comes into play, and the second turn it does the damage. Perhaps the weather effect should double the power of flying attacks.
or
-greatly boost evade

Poison Gas: Change this to a weather effect. It would double poison, (and cut flying in half to be the opposite of Razor wind), and cause poisoning. The poison would probably have to have a temporary effect (so its like sandstorm), or else people would erratically switch their Pokemon though it to get poisoned (to prevent paralysis, sleep etc), or fix poison so that its a bad thing.
Edit: Now that I think of it, maybe poison gas would double the effects of regular poison, but not poison or do damage to anything that isn't already. Toxic would get turned into regular poison with this move.

The poison status: Poisoning should do 1/8th of HP a turn (doesn't it already?). It would lower defense or special by 2 stages, or both by 1 stage. It could also lower evade or accuracy instead. In order to keep regular poison useful, perhaps Toxic won't give you the benefits of stat lowering.

Psywave: Instead of between 1 HP and 1.5x your level, make it 0.75x and 1.5x your level.

String shot: This is only a maybe, but make it lower accuracy or trap the opponent like wrap as well as lower speed.

Multi attacks: Comet Punch, Pin missle, fury attack etc. They should be fixed in some way, but I'm not sure how. Perhaps a stat lowering effect or a status effect, or something that effects switching.

Dizzy Punch: should have a 30 - 40% chance of confusing the enemy

Constrict: Should be changed so its just like wrap and bind, but with the speed lowering aspect still intact. Base power and speed lowering rate could be tweaked.

Disable: Just fix the accuracy, and its good. It would work the same way it does in G/S.

Mimic: Would it unbalance the game to be able to choose what you mimic? At least make it like Disable so you have some control over what you get.

Egg Bomb: Make it a 99.6% accurate move, and make it more powerful than or equal to double edge. The group of Pokemon that learn this move is so small that this might as well be a pefect attack.

Flash: Accuracy should be tweaked, and Kinesis should be adjusted so its still better than Flash.

Rock throw: 99.6% accuracy. Its base is waaay too low to be less than that.

Poison Powder: Again, adjust the accuracy. If toxic does give you the same benefits of regular poison, then 99.6% accuracy.

Mist: Guards against the speed lowering effect of paralyze, or the attack lowering effect of burn etc. as well as its regular effects.

Edit2: I forgot waterfall, there's no reason not to use surf over it. I would either add a flinch rate or something cool like a status healing effect on you.

[This message has been edited by Pokegod (edited 06-16-2001).]

Special rules for some gyms, or leagues would be cool. They would reflect the city's heritage, like the slowpoke being sacred in Azalea or something. Also trainer battles should enforce how many pokes are allowed to fight. It feels dishonorable to have the ability to use 6 pokes against a gym leader's 3. (even though you may never have to use them)

EDIT: I also wouldn't mind another pokemon snap for the cube. 64's snap was fun, but wayyy too small and short. The extra space on the cube's optical discs should be able to hold all 251 pokes and their (un)natural habitats.

Razor Wind
-Flying type attack
-Does the normal Razor wind attack on second turn
-Doubles flying, cuts poison by 50%
-Makes sleep powder 100% accurate
-Makes (something) 50% accurate
-or-
-Flying type attack
-Does normal razor wind attack on second turn
-Makes 2 turn Flying attacks only take one turn
-halves poison
-makes sleep powder 100% accurate
-makes (something) 50% accurate
I like this one better

Poison Gas
-Doubles damage for poison attacks
-Causes poisoning and/or damage on second turn (so it has the same disadavantage as razor wind)
-Doubles poisoning damage (converts toxic to regular poison in the same manner that switching does) for duration of the move
-Makes 2 turn flying attacks take an extra turn (on the ground if its fly) or halves flying attacks
-Makes sleep powder 50% accurate
-Makes (something) 100% accurate

(parentheses) (make) (me) (happy)

Oh well, what can you do? We didn't ask to be born, we just work here...-Mr. K

It must stay a "Pokemon-game",not a RTS or anything too complicated for kids.

1) A 100% accurate Bug attack with somewhere between 80 and 95 base power. It's about time Scizor got a decent Bug attack!

2) Another Dark-type with Special Attack over 300, but unlike Houndoom in that it can take a significant beating. It'd be slow.

3) A new advantage for Poison. What if it were supereffective against Water? Acid and Sludge and junk like that would pollute water nicely...

4) One or two Pokémon with interesting type combinations that also have GOOD STATS. I mean, look at Gligar, Lanturn, Piloswine, or Sneasel. They've all got interesting type combos, but their stats suck dick! Examples of stuff I'd like to see: Poison/Dark (a Poison-type that can mess with Psychics), Bug/Electric (only weak against Fire and Rock).

5) Speaking of Sneasel...the guy needs help. Come on...he's a Special-based Pokémon, but his Special Attack is just about the worst in the game! Give him an attachment that switches his Attack with his Special Attack.

6) A Fire/Dragon type seems like an obvious combination. It'd be a tough Pokémon to get (maybe a Legendary?), and it'd be similar to Kingdra in stats (it'd have lower Defense but higher Special Attack).

That's all.

Let Gyarados learn Destiny Bond. It'd be the greatest improvement ever.

D20? D100? RTS? I know not of that which you speak. Your point about it remaining a "Pokemon-game" is well taken. I would just remake Pokemon. What I really want is a real-time fighting game, where you do not directly control your monster, you coach with a microphone, a la Hey You, Pikachu!

Even if the idea of telling your orders is intereting,keep in mind that yelling "pikachu,Thundershock!" in the metro is a concept that i prefer avoid (note:hey you pikachu is not sold everywhere due to the microphone system.For example,a french version is impossible,while english version was a bit harder to make with american)

And the power of Twineedle does not need changed, they should just make a new bug attack that Beedrill can actually learn! (i spite megahorn, can ya tell?)

Doralee23: What you propose makes not sense. What? Happy pokemon are high in special and angry ones are strong? What bloody since does that make?

Anyhoo, Poke really could use a real time battle system, only I'd view it as more of a Monster Rancher fashion. Not exactly like, just kinda like.

Okay...so how about an attack SIMILAR to Destiny Bond designed for big dragons of death? Call it "Vendetta" or some such nonsense.

Normal Fight & Psi moves are useless and he's strong to Poison moves!
And he's weak to NOTHING!!!

Although if you used Foresight first, Fighting attacks would be super-effective...

Of course...i think to it as Mewtwo killer BTW

Although if you used Foresight first, Fighting attacks would be super-effective...

That's a good trick!

I'd also like it in Stadium Gamecube if you could choose to battle in RBY game rules, GSC game rules, or Advance game rules. Furthermore, there should be battles in Stadium that give your Pokemon experience.

My tweaking would be...

* Enhance above suggestion by making the gene lab also do sex-change operations. True, tweaking with the genes would cause a sex-change in some cases, but it'd still be cool to have Pokemon sex-change operations.

* Make it so all Pokemon could breed.

* Tweak the breeding so that a Pokemon has a small chance of inheriting its father's type as well as his moves. For example, if you breed a female Pikachu with a male Growlithe, the baby will be a Pikachu, but has a 25% chance of being Type1 Electric, Type2 Fire. Or if you breed two dual-types together, the pokemon could randomly inherit one type from each of the parents. Female Gengar + Male Butterfree will get you a Gengar that might be Type1 Ghost, Type2 Bug, or Type1 Poison, Type2 Flying. ((Note: I know some of these breeding combos may not be possible...just using 'em as examples.))

* Possibly make it so that a Pokemon has a small chance of being the same species of its father. Female Gyaradose + Male Seaking has 75% chance of being a Gyaradose, 25% chance of being a Seaking. Combine this with the above suggestion for some really weird possibilities.

* Give the player a chance to choose a Rocket as a main character. You shouldn't *have* to be a good guy. Perhaps if you play as a Rocket, the game is more difficult to get through, but your Dark and Poison type pokemon get an attack bonus?

* Fertility drugs for pokemon, so they breed faster when left in the care of the old couple.

* All pokemon can be legally acquired in the game.

* If there's enough memory available, make it so you can have two save files at once.

* You can un-do the use of a TM. If you teach a TM to a pokemon, and realize the move sucks on that pokemon, you can delete the move and get your TM back.

Peace,
Pikacharma

i mean if it wasnt for its udders, miltank would look more like a dog than a cow, macargo looks like its been exposed to radiation, totodile looks like it has rabies, slowking is freash out of the asylum, scizor has a very big package, raikou is so f*cked up, cyndaquil looks constapated, quagsire looks like its stoned, piloswine looks like an ice man, aipom scares me, igglybuff looks like its retared, hopip is stoned just like quags, hoot hoot is a peg leg, and well just look at some of em! anyways id like

- a place where you can compete in a tournament to win pokemon illegally;

you enter with your pokemon, if you win you get the other trainers pokemon, if you lose, they get yours, and the trainers should get very hard.

- if you become famous, you have an entrage
- can customize your looks
- you can buy clothes, ie- certan packbacks and stuff carry more items
-you can get a g/f or b/f
-new gyms etc
- every thing should have either a 100 or 95 power attack
- pokemon can learn more moves to cover up their weaknesses like venusaur with rock slide
- more breedable move
-newer combinations like dark/ghost, grass/rock, ice/electric
-
a island where the legendaries are caught but only extremely strong pokwon are there and there is no pokemon center
-3d
- id like it if you can have a feature to play sorta lke in zelda in real time action, but wouldnt have as many moves
- teleport would act like baton pass or elt you swithc pokemon witout losing a turn
-pokemon char should change due to diet, enviroment, growth rate
- online play
- more emotions with pokemon
-pinsir should evolve
- rechallenge gym leaders for tms
- poison should have a purpse
- you can retire and become famous
- you can have a olace where you can play with your pokemon like choas in sonic adventure
- everything everybody else said pretty much cept for wha i put here

thats all for now, oh and make it a teen rated game, with hot anime chicks,ceppt taller and bustier and you have more than 1 rival and mre than 3 starters

Beware the Dynasty! Listen To Uncle!

What non-RPG Pokémon games should there be?
A Pokémon action game for GameCube where you import pokemon from GB game, they have the same moveset, but you control your pokémon, move around, etc. Each turn would be about equivalent to 1.5 seconds, so Solarbeam would take 3 seconds to charge, and Rollout lasting 7.5 seconds with a constant acceleration rate and damage based on movement speed. (Think Goron Roll Attack in Zelda: Majora's Mask.) Flying pokemon would actually fly if they had Fly on them. Fury swipes would, when you first pressed the button, start a 1.5 second countdown in which you would hit the button as fast as you could, attacking once each time. I'll probably write more about this, but feel free to let your imagination run wild with the possibilities...
