Agreed. There's also the fact that while it gives the Pokémon more power, it also usually makes them more berserk. To be fair, Mega Evolutions were kinda similar, but it's not something that potentially any Pokémon can access unlike that one, which could bring some unneeded complications...

@BestgirlJordanfish4 дня назад +17
How I would do some of these in practice:
• Armor - Use a *texture* to represent it visually, but give some mons exclusive special armors. Mechanically, it would have armor segments like the raid battle. Each of these is an instance of damage reduction like Multiscale. While armored, they get an armament move that is strong, but costs a segment.
• Fusion - One pokemon is a catalyst and another is a reactor. The reactor takes on the catalyst's type, gains x2 HP, and gains a stat boost based on the catalyst's highest stat. Add a filter or aura based on types. This feels simple enough, while using familiar territory in new ways. Somewhere between dynamax, dondozo, and terastal. I can also see a version where this pokemon gets *two turns* or something like parental bond to echo or reroll attacks, to make up for the lost action economy
• Shadow - I wouldn't. Narratively it is NOT GOOD to keep@Watch-0w14 дня назад
I like fusion rider pokemon. The rider have to be 1/3 pkm weight. At cost riding, pkm lose speed but gain type stat boost or stab boost and two ability. Fusion destroy When heavier pokemon hp -minu - rider pokemon hp is reach.

They will never do fusion for 2 reasons. 1, too much work after making all the models to be future proof. 2, infinite fusion. It seems like they actively avoid using fan ideas, whether its ideas for fakemon or ideas for mechanics. The fact that one of the most popular fan games takes the idea of fusing any two pokemon together, something that some fans have been wanting since they first saw venusaur and blastoise fuse, means it'll be on the very, very bottom of the to do list. When they absolutely run out of ideas, someone at the round table will mumble "we could do fusion" and then when no one else says it, theyll begrudgingly do it 😂

@secretshadow95153 дня назад +2
I thought this idea since watching the anime (specifically Ice Aqua Jet).
The gimmick could be that pokémom can mix 2 moves that they currently learn in order to use a unique 5th move. For example if Dusktox knows Poison Sting and String Shot it gets the tth move Poison shot where the opposing pokemon gets poisoned and has its speed lowered. Or Lucario can learn Aura Mach Punch a move that has priority and can't miss. It would need to be balanced (maybe it used 2 pp on each of the og moves or have the 5th moves pp be significantly reduced) but imagine the possibility of combining new moves with old ones.
Even in double battles you could have your 2 pokemon use both their turns (who moves between them and opponents are based on average speed) and use a combo move. Like Electrifying Protect (Protect and Electic Terrain) A double protect, abd if a physical move is used, it paralyzes the pokémon. Or Tsunami (Earthquake and Surf) a strong water move that traps the target (aka can't switch out). In double battles their strength would be that the moves are better overall, but you can use them 2 times in a row.
I feel this gimick would allow trainers to become creative with the moves they pick to figure out what moveset they want they feel is best and if they want to play Single or Double battles.@emperorcubone 3 дня назад
In Mystery Dungeon if you link two moves it basically makes you have three moves, so it could be something like that where you sacrifice a slot to make one of the moves better! That also wouldn't require making thousands of new models, just some different colored particle effects, so that's a reasonable request that could actually happen one day!
@SvenSierra1043 дня назад +2
Wouldn't happen for the same reason as they wont do a full on fusion thing, there's... 919 seperate moves, which is 843,642 new moves they would have to code and come up with interactions for.

Abilities and held items have only been shaken up from secondary effects of the battle mechanics rather than the primary target (megas effect evolution primarily, but require a held item). But I could see them centering these next, for instance, magic armor that instead of simply raising a stat has the same property for all pokemon who wear it, an extension of what abilities and held items already do. They could add negative and positive effects, like an armor piece that makes the secondary effect of all moves guaranteed to proc at the cost of making the pokemon take double damage. In theory they could involve body type (like in Home) and say pokemon with no legs can't wear leg armor/braces as well.

I think an interesting take on the Armor gimmick would be having an Armor for every stat with a special Armor being able to cover every stat, giving enough points to a Pokemon to reach Psuedo-Legendary or Legendary status.
The only drawback would be having Pokemon with too much of one stat, especially if their Nature is focused on it. To make it balanced, you could probably have it where Pokemon can't use Armors that their Nature favors (i.e. A high Speed Garchomp can't use Speed Armor nor can a high Defensive Cloyster can't use Defense Armor) and Legendary Pokemon either can't use it or just evens out their stats.
It is similar to Mega Evolution, but that way, every Pokemon could use it.@andrewharris13442 дня назад

If your In Sync with your Pokémon and your friendship is high enough so that Pokémon can avoid a move, it activates Full Synchro where the accuracy of an opposing Pokémon decreases 2 stages and your attacks get a 15% power boost.

They will be attached to other Pokemon giving them special ability, move or third type. They would work like Minicons in Transformers Armada.

Since Terastal is a broken version of Hidden Power (which is not in the game coding anymore), then the Gen 10 Gimmick should be a broken version of Assist. Imagine a Pokémon borrowing the moves of another one from your party and therefore you temporarily have a Pokémon with 8 moves (with the 4 extra only having 5PP max like Ditto's Transform).
I'll dub it Exalink (since Mega, Zeta, Giga and Tera are all units too, Exa makes sense). Would be amazing for VGC support.
As for a Legends gimmick like Strong/Agile, I'll say combo moves. You need to fill a 4 move gauge akin to Last Resort before doing a combo move. The first selected move will be the Type of the attached one; for example, if Pikachu uses Thunderbolt + Swift then Swift will hit Ghosts since it's part-Electric, but in the other way around then Thunderbolt would hit Ground Type Pokémon since it's now a part-Normal attack. Would be amazing for Contests if those were to return.@Ringoismybirdo3 дня назад +2

So the idea of having "all the gimmicks" may work but making them more cohesive together.
Call it something like "Battle State" or whatever. But basically, a pokemon would use their Z move and mega evolve (think Ultra Necrozma style), but it only last 3 turns like in GMax. Havent determined yet if they would have g-moves or just their regular moves but im leaning more to their regular moves for moveset diversity.
Havent really pinned down how i want tera to fit in with that, if at all. Maybe the "Battle State" takes on whatever Tera type the pokemon is. Or the Tera type changes the moves of that type into stronger G-moves for the time they are transformed.
Maybe even make it so you have to KO an enemy pokemon to use it like Battle Bond.
Incorporate pretty much everything into something cohesive gimmick.

Not to mention any remakes/sequels/Legends games in Gen 10 that could house more Pokemon too!
@rafael_lana3 дня назад
Unpopular opinion, they should ditch the two versions standard for the main games if they're planning on DLCs anyway. Pokemon used to be one of the last bastions of fair monetization untill half the dex was locked behind DLCs. Just wait untill they sell "events" for single pokemon as separate too, we are heading for something very ugly .

Heres my own idea, I'm throwing it out there. Pokemon riding other pokemon.
It functions like fusion, but it's one rides another as a mount.
They would 'fuse' into one pokemon, by putting one model atop the other. The Speed and defenses are taken from the Mount Mon, and the Attacking stats are taken from the Rider Mon. The first type of both pokemon is used for this Mount-Rider combination.
So Lucario riding a Torterra would be a Grass/Fighting type. The first two moves from each form the four move slots of the Mount-Rider combination. They would also retain BOTH abilities, and only the held item of the rider works.
The precident for how this system works is taken from how Calyrex works.@emperorcubone 3 дня назад
I'm leaning more towards the Calyrex style of fusing, because it could be pretty cool! And I'd love to throw a small base stage onto a bigger threat to make them contribute in ways they couldn't before; like an Aipom hanging onto a Dusknoir or something like that!

Armor evolution would be cool. But they should do something with Pokerus and the gimmick would be called the Pokerus Gene where a Pokemon true power and potential is released and it can create a new form for them and abilities. Albeit the mon doesn't have to be fully evolved. For example, a Pichu with the Pokerus Gene would become a Macchu with the power plant ability that allows it to gain health with recoil moves and doesn't need to charge when using charging moves.

Yes gen 10 would be a good idea for all the gimmicks to be in one game, but then they would have to explain why some gimmicks are possible outisde their one region like z moves, dynamax/gigatimax, and terastalizing.

@umwha3 дня назад
1:50 - I personally think it wont be 'Armour' it will be 'Costumes'. The Costume will give the pokemon an additional type. Giving it more STAB options, but also modifying their resistances and weaknesses. It has to be an additional type, not a type replacement to avoid redundancy with Terastalisation.
And Every pokemon will be able to do it - because look at the Terra Crowns. All pokemon can wear the crown, and all that required was designation of where the head was on each pokemon. The Costumes would be similar, with a headpiece, and maybe backpices - like the 'Fairy Costume' would involve a delicate tiara on the head, and fairywings and wispsy scarves trailing from the back, and a pink colour shift coming over the model. Or the Steel Cotume would involve a metallic texture on the Mon model, a knightly panache atop the head, and a regal cape streaming from the back.
There would, of course, be some special costume wearable by one species only, which would come with a more custom made model. The Pikachu costumes (Libre, Idol, Belle, etc), and some for Charizard and Mewtwo of course.@emperorcubone 3 дня назад

@lordinfernape47534 дня назад
I think that the right way to evolve the battles mechanically would be to implement two things
1. Agile and Strong style
2. Combined moves in doubles
Ive heard that combined moves were considered in Gen 3 but they scrapped that idea, I wish we had it. This would be great for both single battles and double battles.
In singles, you could use a combined move once per battle, where you can select 2 moves of a Pokemon at the same time and make a super mega move. In doubles, it could be done as in singles or by combining a move of your 2 Pokemon
This is how it would work
Status move + any move = using status moves first and then attacking move
Attacking move + attacking move = both base Power values combine, and the supereffectiveness of the moves is combined too.
For example: a dragon/steel combined move wouldnt be neutral against fairy, instead, fairy would just take double damage from the base power of steel and no damage from the base power of dragon, so it would take 2/3 of the damage
If both combined moves have stab, the stab value becomes x2 instead of x1.5
You can combine 2 moves of the same type
If you combine 2 moves of different categories, the attacking stat of the move is calculated by using the strongest attacking stat, while the calculate defense for the opposing Pokemon would just be an average of its 2 defensive stats@Watch-0w13 дня назад

Played through Indigo Disk again in the meantime. That was fun. It's definitely much more thrilling to cap your team's power and build a new team. The Ogre Oustin' game makes EV gathering a fun breeze. Then there's hyper training with bottle caps to mend any poor IVs. The battle with Clay's baby was the most fun. Her Excadrill brought my Palafin to the red with a Decorated powered-up High Horsepower via Alcremie before Palafin one-shot it with a STAB Wave Crash, going down to recoil damage.
It came down to Alcremie vs Alcremie. Of course, I just HAD to Encore hers after she used Decorate, forcing her to power mine. Then I one-shot it with Dazzling Gleam. So much fun.

@emperorcubone 3 дня назад
Well Digimon is great, so that's fine with me! I did say you'd have to recharge it like the Tera Orb so unless you ran back to the Pokemon Center after every battle in the early routes you would need to be selective on when to use it. But there are still other problems with it anyway...
