The BIG transportation topic (bikes, skateboards, etc..)

[ghostman50]

This may be off subject but it kind of has to do with transportation (teleportation )

Ive never caught an abra, ever in mi life, but mi brother swears to me that you can use abra to teleport to all of the big cities in Crystal.

Considering that Urmel shot down any plans to implement fly, i think that its safe to say that teleporting would not be implement as well.

But my question is, does Abra really teleport players from town to town?

Ive found sites that support this claim and some that doesnt really say for sure.



Oh... and here's a random proposal, After doing a psychic-related quest (Its all on you Spirit), One of the rewards could be that players could attain 5 teleports to the closest Poke' center.


(That would be an awesome reward. I'd take that over 5 berries any day)

Im just throwing it out there.

As far as I know the teleport move will only teleport you to the latest PokeCenter where you've been.

[Phosphorous]

yeah I was never one for the whole car idea, or anything too fast.

But I guess it's safe to say there WILL be running shoes and types of bikes.
Although I still think it'd be cool to have something else that hasn't been in the actual games.

like a jet pack. (lol im jking )

no but really. Something else lol

[recneps]

yeah, i dont think you should be able to drive a car, but maybe have a taxi system set up

[Chaoseth]

In the anime and hand-held games transportation is mainly through walking, bikes, trains, or boats. If a device other than walking/biking is implemented boats and a train would make the most sense.

this isn't really all up to me, it is more important for the head staff to decide on something like this, i can just write a quest where this is a reward.... but the reward itself for the ability to do this must be decided on by other people. however, if you ask me, while im not entirely for or against the whole fly ability, i do think that there should be some form of teleportation method implemented. peharps, when you successfully complete some missions for NPC's in pokemon centers (very few pokemon centers would have this, like, 3) you could speak with them and their abra's would teleport you between them.....

.....but probably not

Some kind of daily-use item for transporting yourself back to your house would be nice. And no, WoW isn't the only game to have such an item. It would be nice if pokemon with teleport could cast it on the entire party (of players, not pokemon), with a count-down so anyone who doesn't want to be teleported can quit the party.

[Skilganon]

Maybe would it be possible to implement a "hearthstone" system into the game, like its and item/pokemon/ability that teleports you/flys you/(insert other form of fast/instant transport here) you, to maybe like one specific location per "island/region" such as the "main city" or your last pokecenter used, and that item/pokemon/ability is given like a 30 or 60 min cooldown or even more, also could make it so it cant be used while in caves and areas like that, i've always found systems like that to be very handy but not OP ya know.

[Mr_Dark]

I'm not really a big fan of fly (for our game) since it's going to be an adventure game. So if you can fly everywhere you're missing out on the real adventure and you'll miss nice quests and stuff.

IF we would implement fly, I think it can only be used on the isle where you are so you can't fly from isle 1 to isle 2.

Teleport will only send you to the latest PokéCenter. If that PC is NOT on the current island you'll be send to the nearest one.

[Skilganon]

Yea something like that, where your restricted to a small amount of places it can take you (emergancy reasons) and with a cooldown so that people arent flying all over the place all the time. No cross island travel and only allowed to go to the "main city" for the island your on, or only the latest pokecenter you have visited, its a handy feature for the sake of emergancies but the CD would make it so you cant do it constanly, or even have the cd so that it can be used once per game day, i read somewhere that the days in game will be 4 game days to 1 real day.

[Mr_Dark]

We don't have thought of any specific day/time system. All I can tell for now that in-game time is not real-life time

[zachattackary]

I know boats have been implemented in games before... but how about a luxury cruise ship with a pokemart, pokemon center and possibly other stores and rooms... I believe this would be innovative.

Yes, we're already planning to implement such a ship.

[ollie]

I think that when you reach a high level ther should be a way of travelling between cities instantly without the use of a move like fly. In my opinion these moves are of little use in a battle situation and use up space which could be used for a more powerful move. If creating a method like this is not possible would it be possible to increase the power of certain HM moves?

[Ataeru]

how about an overpass or bike/transportation trail between towns, where it would be over or around the wild pokemon and CPU traners.

with it, there would not be any traffic between people going through the paths looking for pokemon or finishing quests and those who want to get to the next town with out any obstacles or paths getting in the way.
