will we just be battling?

[lildjremix]

in a recent discussion i was part of in the topic "poke economy " (or along the lines of that) i started to wonder, will we only be endlessly battling? will we be having side quests like catching a pokemon for someone, or finding a berry, or even delivering a message for a professor? if theres a thread about this please direct me lol otherwise i was hoping to get some insight

Yes, there are many different quests to complete in game. This is all over the website.

see, im aware of many mission posts as well as roleplaying missions and mission suggestions but so far non i've seen have been non battle related it seems senseless to just battle chronically

We're going to have a minigame where you can read the forums all day and sigh at every topic you don't like.

There will be quests that do not require battling - but this being Pokemon, the game will tend to focus on battling.

There have been many of those too, though not as many as those involving battles. Most if not all pokemon games involve battles, with a couple of side mini games, and less often, non-battle related spin off. So, one does expect pokemon battles.

yes  the battles is a expected thing, its pokemon after all lol. but this, if im correct, isn't just another memory limited color version. its supposed to be continuous and i'll battle on end for days but after awhile its the same thing for awhile  but im not complaining im sure the final product will be well balanced

[Jerry]

Well, this is one aim of the game, while another aim is to make the battles less 'boring' in the sense that you probably won't see the same teams on with every trainer, because every pokemon will have a chance to battle and be strong enough to be a good addition to a team. That's the job of Level5Pidgey, the one who posted above and the is the one who can explain that subject better

Ahem. I do believe this is my department. Yes, there will be quests, some will require battling, however, if you're one of those people who enjoys the storyline behind games then you should be in for a treat. On the other hand, if you're one of those who skips cinematics, then be prepared for a long experience of battling and walking, cos that's all you're gonna get.

there is going to be a story to this game?! And I don't mean that evil group tries to take over the world, 10 year old starts pokemon journey, 10 year old beats the stuffing out of evil group and saves world...

STORY FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

[Naughty]

will there be rare or unique items, like special designed pokeballs, clothing and random odd stuff or stuff that is hard to come by or can only get from quest or hidden some where in hard to get area's ?

[Jerry]

Most probably, as many quests require new items, most of which will be like the 'Key Items' though, with asome exceptions.

Though no pokemon game is complete without a hapless evil organization who couldn't battle their way out of a paper bag.

[Ice Warrior Astral]

So true about the evil organisation can't kick a 10 year old's butt.
