♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪ Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Sounds like a neat idea, but maybe not tied to the Rotomdex. Perhaps if the Dowsing Machine was linked to it...Yes, the Dowsing Machine is an interesting artifact from the Pokemon games, which helps to find items and much more, it'll be interesting to improve this concept to uncover secret messages and switches I also thought that the RotomDex provides information about quests, missions, navigation, and even Strength/Weaknesses about the encountered Pokemon, making it handy at all times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to provide information on the opponent mid-battle would result in a rather cluttered interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchi Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 There could be a future professor who studied Pokémon Battles in general in a future game, maybe trading some ideas with Kukui and Sycamore...EDIT:On another note, I hope the characters don't do the gesture Kukui does here often. Everyone did had this annoying tic in Digimon Cyber Sleuth, it looks like they're petting their imaginary giant dog.BTW, TPC's Japanese Youtube Channel posted a few videos with game footage, each one dedicated to one new character/Pokémon/aspect of the game, though a good portion of it was already present in the latest trailer: [spoiler=Videos] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 That might be the deal in Generation 8 when we get there, although we're still some time away from that. As for the RotomDex, hopefully it keeps DexNav like OR/AS has. Or like some of us wanted, even the Pokemon's base stats so we don't have to guess their powers (or resort to hacking).

Astro Dude Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Well, say goodbye to overworld chibi-sprites. Also, makes you wonder if there will be a Dark type gym this time around, and remixed gym themes to match the theme of the gym, like in B2/W2.

Trebuchet MS Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Hmm, given the cool attributes of the legendary signature moves that carry an in-built Mold Breaker, and the fact that Kukui's doing research on attacks this time, maybe we'll get a slew of more mechanically unique attacks in the other Pokemon lines? Flying Press was interesting even though it absolutely flops at doing super effective damage often, and Freeze Dry is an absolute beast in snipping past Water/Ground and Water/Dragon types. It'll be fantastic we can get more moves like those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amazing Avian Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 And judging by layout, there will be at least 2 gyms per island.What if, and I'm just spitballing here, there's an island with no gyms and two of them have 3? #mindblown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas★Zero Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 You know if this regions professor is focused on Pokémon attacks, it could mean were getting more moves like Hawlucha's where we get multi-type attacks as that would be interesting.

Flame Dragon Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Duel type attacks while cool on paper are really hard to make good. Flying Press is fun and all, but it really isn't a good move. I think in general you'll almost always rather two move of each type than one that combines them. Though I look forward to being proven wrong.

Agro Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 You know.... Why do I get the feeling trainer customization will only have been a feature in X/Y?We know you can change your skin color and your shirt. Fairly good chance it all comes back. Duel type attacks while cool on paper are really hard to make good. Flying Press is fun and all, but it really isn't a good move. I think in general you'll almost always rather two move of each type than one that combines them. Though I look forward to being proven wrong.Well it depends on how they function. Like does it mix all of the weaknesses and resistances of both attacks? If it's that, it sounds awful because usually you'd think it'd mean that it'd cancel out otherwise super effective attacks rather than expand the pool of mons it is super effective against. A theory. Rotom Wash: OURotom Heat: UURotom Mow: RURotom Fan: NURotom Frost: PU If new Rotom becomes usable in battle...Ubers?In before Borderline Rotom Dex: Steel/Elec with Levitate, unique attack changes to some newfangled special Steel move that's on par with all the others. Given its access to other moves it will mostly outclass Magnezone outside of being used to snipe opposing Steel Pokemon.It might depend on what the Steel attack is that it'd get, right?

The Warden Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Wouldn't the steel attack be Flash Cannon? Makes sense since it probably has a light function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebuchet MS Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Wouldn't the steel attack be Flash Cannon? Makes sense since it probably has a light function.In contrast to things like Blizzard, Overheat, Hydro Pump, Leaf Storm? It's a bit mundane. Then again Rotom-F has the rather mundane Air Slash...

Pchi Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'd rather have new moves like Freeze Dry (turns a x1/2 or x1 into a x2) than another Flying Press, even if the idea of a move combining 2 types is pretty interesting to me. The only way they could make it work competitively is if they employed a combo that didn't nullify most of each types involved's strengths.

~British Soul~ Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes I am posting a Pokemon-TCG card in this topic, but it is relevant;[spoiler=Magearna-EX - Big image is big] Note how its arm opens up like a "flower"? (Or should I say when its arms open, it looks like the anatomy of a flower) My first thought upon seeing this card was the marketing director last year saying "flowers" regarding the future of pokemon.

Toffee. Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Note how its arm opens up like a "flower"?Actually that's just how a lot of laser guns/cannons/etc open up; It's just an outer shell to the inner weapon. If anything, it's the fact it has anthers and other visible bits that resemble the anatomy of a flower. Also... THIS THING CAN SHOOT LASERS!?!?
