Trainer Specializations
« on: April 17, 2010, 04:22:04 AM »
I like how some people consider themselves specialist trainers, like fire-type, water-type, etc.  So, I was thinking it would be cool to earn points as you level up or something (i don't know how you level up or if you even do).  Then you can spend those points into improving the types of attacks you specialize in.  So you specialize in fire, you can put points into improving your fire damage.  Or say you specialize in ice-types, you can put points into decreasing your enemies speed with your attacks.  Those are just examples you can come up with much more cool abilities like that I am sure.

That is an interesting feature especially for online games. It kinda gives everyone a role in battling and it makes people less cheap in the process. I'M IN FOR IT!

The thing is, it would make PVP battles really unfair. Somebody might have a good mixed team, but would be beaten by a single type... Just doesn't seem fair to me. Maybe only have it effective against wild Pokemon, that way, it doesn't effect the fairness and skill level of PVP.

When you say earn points when you level up i assume you mean your pokemon right? Are you saying they should gain a certain like specialization point everytime they level up? Im just a bit confused on your idea. If each pokemon gained maybe like 1 specilization point everytime they leveled up and the trainer could use those points in a special menu to upgrade things like you said, that would be very interesting. I kind of like that idea. And in this menu maybe each pokemon had different things they could upgrade like fire damage or crit chance. If this would be put it i would think it would create a whole new playing experience with people being able to customize their pokemons abilities beyond what any of the handhelds have done.

This is already being planned, and we call it it a talent tree.
Use the search button, look forward to it :)


Also, with the whole Specialization deal. Let me be clear on this point.



We will NOT implement ideas that are not 100% directed towards PVP but still changes it, its simple enough. If you got a nice idea for PVP, cool post it please.
But if you have an idea on when a trainer has walked 9999steps all his Pokemons stats grow with 10%, then....Do you really wanna know?

I might add actully, that there is a small chance we can impliment something that effects pvp AND pvp, what you need to do is take the fact that it does into concidiration when comming up with and idea :)

Dont be afraid to post stupid ones, better to have posting, then no posting at all.

Use Search
Think how it effects pvp AND pve
