Why are we missing out because we have a different opinion? That doesn't make any sense.
)Sadly, Nintendo will make the most money this way, 5-10 year old kids are the ones that fork out the most money on pokemon/smash games. I just wonder why Nintendo thinks that kids are all of a sudden unable to play games that require any sort of technical knowledge. Their games used to be some of the hardest you could find. Pokemon red/blue might not have been the greatest competitively, but once we hit gold/silver, with breeding and Sp. atk, it became a huge strategical game.
Speaking on behalf of Spire, if I may...
You've brought up an incredibly good point regarding my temperature system. A warm electric type would scientifically mean that its electrons are moving very quickly (most electric Pokemon would be warm regardless - Rotom being one of the only cold ones since it is ghost). However, an ice Pokemon - being a cold type - would be electronically opposite - revealing that its "electrons" would be slowed down (this is directly related to temperature - as it is regulated by the speed that electrons and particles are moving throughout an object). Generally this would mean that solid forms are more aligned with "cold", while gaseous forms are aligned with "warm", and furthermore, liquid being the median between the two at "normal" temperature (or according to my temperature system: high, neutral, and low). So, if a highly-electronic Pokemon (usually Fire, Electric, Psychic, or Poison) were to attack a lowly-electronic Pokemon (Ice, Ghost, Dark, Steel) and in your case, Electronic vs. Ice, then the electric Pokemon would actually be normally effective to the ice, because the electrons are slowed down immensely in contrast with a neutral-temperature ice Pokemon (essentially a water Pokemon). The two types - Ice and Water are probably related more so than any other two types (Ground and Rock coming in a close second). You see, when Ice melts and becomes Water, the electrons move around so much more freely, and therefore, the fast moving electricity has more room to roam. But when pitted against ice, the electrons are so closely packed and move so little, that electricity is not free to move through the electronic structure of the ice. Therefore, Electricity and Ice are not strong against, or weak against one other - as seen in the games.Speaking on behalf of Spire, if I may...
It would affect every type, because every Pokemon would have a different temperature. The temperature determines whether it shares traits similar to those of an ice type or those of a fire type. And I don't remember if Spire said this or not, but assuming this is how it would work, (I'm pretty sure this is my speculation) maybe a warm Electric type would be more effective against a cold water type, and normal effectiveness against a normal one?
But yeah, ice Charizard would look pretty awesome.
I did an estimation of it myself;
Not perfect, but...it's just for fun.
Thanks for explaining it to me. I like how scientific-oriented your system is--you can back up just about everything in your system with something from science.
I was kind of remembering wrong exactly what you had said about the system, so I was pretty much explaining something I invented myself. I will try to spread the word about the actual part of it that I know well.Wow, you really know your science, don't you? I feel inferior.
BRAVO! That is a perfect idea! I'll incorporate it into my thread under the same section with credits to you. That would be a surefire way to acquire new types with Pokemon that you already own. The Daycare would certainly be the best - but perhaps there should be a whole new place(s) for this, spread out over the different locations of the Pokemon world. They would essentially be daycares, but are much larger and you can actually go in there and interact with your loose Pokemon. All in all, this idea is yours, and I'm loving ever inch of it.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
As for the actual types of the Pokemon changing, that would probably take a very long time to happen - whereas the temperature would have to change before hand (the types changing being milestones on the temperature change).Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
And yeah, I like that instead; there could be an "Altering Daycare" (bad name, but...best I can think of), maybe on its own island. The island could be massive, having a large area with each climate, and a receptionist at each one allowing you to deposit two Pokemon at a time.
Maybe by these "Altering Daycares" you could only alter resistances, tinting the Pokemon. But you can also breed in these environments, and a Pokemon bred in an environment would be different depending on the environment born in--if in a snowy, polar climate, it would be born as an Ice Type.
Also, to allow a complete change in type or a creation of a Dual-Type, there could be possibly unlockable sections that would cause those changes. Obviously, there would be quite a few...so I have no clue how it would be able to occur, but that's just a concept. Again, same concept, except I'm not sure about the resistances. Perhaps there could be dual-resistances as well?
In these environments, you could, as you said, interact with your Pokemon--perhaps you could press A (or whichever button is the "talk" button) to view the Pokemon and see a gauge or something, indicating how affected the Pokemon has been. There's an idea--perhaps it can only receive a certain level of resistance, and only two different types--but you could even it out how you wish, adding more of a resistance to a certain type which would be more advantageous to be resistant to. Obviously, the longer you leave a Pokemon in the environment, the more resistant they become. In a dual-type environment, the levels would remain completely equal to each other.
Well, it's sort of mine, but I wouldn't have anything without your initial ideas. Again, though, I'm glad you like it.
Yeah, that's a good idea. We'd want something so powerful to be very restricting in the sense that you can't toss a Pokemon in there every day and magically have them turn. The cost should go up (by at least 5x), with the same system as the old daycare; the more the Pokemon changes from the environment, the more it costs. Also, the requirement to play and interact with it is good. That way, it requires responsibility, so, once again, you can't throw a Pokemon in there and have a miracle happen.
Yeah, right after Spire brought up the happiness portion of it, I realized...Happiness really doesn't affect gameplay that much. If you could abuse your Pokemon, you could do that and it still wouldn't matter...in every aspect of the game, there should be either a negative or positive for your Pokemon not liking you or liking you, respectively.
Okay, thanks.
Forgot the ter :D
i agree woth the too many legendaries, but there has to be a ****** pokemon like bidoof (zigzagoon sucked also) my fovorites were the starters, those looked pretty cool
o yeah its about money 4 themXD well then it could also have an offline counter part just like animal crossing lol it does have an offline part right?
