Hey everyone. I'm designing a multiplayer Pokemon RPG game. At this point in time, I intend to create a loose adaptation off Pokemon Fire-Red version. I wanted some feedback on how everyone feels about different battle systems. Whichever system I design, I intend to make abilities scale off Pokemon stats like the actual Pokemon game (not agility, strength and intelligence). Players will enter a "battle arena" of sorts when they encounter a wild Pokemon in the grass, giving players their own space to deal with Pokemon battles.
Turn Based
Pokemon fight in turns. Players have time to choose which move they want to use.
- Harder to implement
- More natural to Pokemon
- Battles are time consuming
- Max teams of 2. I don't intend to experiment with triple battles or greater.
Real Time Battle
Pokemon fight in real time and abilities have cooldowns similar to other Warcraft 3 games. Pokemon's attack damage is negligible, highlighting the importance of the Pokemon's abilities.
- Easier to implement
- Faster paced Battle
- Introduces new mechanics like moving, dodging, etc.
- More natural to Warcraft 3
- Max teams of 3 or 4
What Battle System would you hope to see in a Warcraft 3 Pokemon game? Would you be open to the opposing system? What would this system look like to you?
I not ready to discuss other components of my map. This is very early days and I have a roadmap to work on.
