What would you do without a battle tower?
I dont want to complete the pokemon league over and over with nidoking until he was full level.
Yeah, i said nidoking, becouse he was imba in pokemon yellow and my bro confirmed that. x)
Battle tower would be awesome to have.´:}
Seriously, Nidoking can learn rock slide, earthquake, ice beam and thunderbolt. He can get off a super-effective hit against pretty much anything. Beat all the lvl 50 stadium cups with basically just him.
Okay since people think that we should have a battle tower:
The battle tower was (In the old Gameboy games) a nearly neverending tower of battle rooms. You entered 3 non legendary Pokemons, that you would like to battle with.
During the battle you where not able to use items, and when you won the battle your Pokemons diden't get xp. When you won 25 - 50 - 75 - 100 battles in a row, you would get an reward. We should change some things...
Here is what I think we should do:
You sign up with your 6 Pokemons that you currently have in your party. (Legendary Pokemons are allowed) Then you enter the battle room, where your opponet (Which will be a random trainer out of 100 diffrent trainers)
Then before the battle starts, you will have to chose 3 out of your 6 party Pokemons to battle with. Then you will have to pick 1 out of those 3 you just chosed, to start the battle with with.
(Your opponets Pokemons Leavel will be equal to your highest signed up Pokemon)
When your Pokemon defeats an opponet it will get XP, just as if it was a normal battle.
Then your opponet chose 1 out of her now 2 Pokemons which is left, to battle your one.
When your Pokemon gets defeated you will just have to withdraw it (Just as it was an normal battle)
If you win a battle your Pokemons will get healed, your streak score will get +1, and you will move on to the next opponet (You will be able to save your game, before challing a new opponet)
If you lose a battle, you will have to leave the battle room, and your streak will become 0.
When your streak is 20 – 40 – 60 – 80 – 100 you will get an reward. A high streak will gain you a good reward, A low streak will give you a bad reward. You will get your reward when you lose a battle, or win all of the 100 battles.
What dose the Crew think?
Well...I think you should go more off of pokemon stadium rules, something like
pick 6 pokemon to enter the tower, then choose 3 at the beginning of each battle as your team
the levels of pokemon in your team can be 3*lvl of cup+5, with the lvl of cup+5 being the maximum level accepted for a pokemon
(so in the level 50 cup you can have a lvl 50, lvl 50, and lvl 55 or a lvl 52, lvl 52, and lvl 51)
Their should be different difficulty settings, similar to the pokeball/greatball/ultraball/masterball cups in stadium
I remember in crystal version all the pokes in the battle tower had max stats, which essentially makes a pokemon 3 times stronger,
and impossible to beat unless your team has max stats, which sucked big time. It would be interesting to have a cup with max stats but their should also be other options.
I posted a set of FAQs back on page 136 (pastbin entry expired now - but you could pm me for them if you want them or ask other members of the team who downloaded them) but one of them had strategy for stadium, and 2 of them were specifically for giving all the information needed to win at player vs. player battles, and their is also a few sets of rules most players fallow in that regard
-No mew or mewtwo/both pokemon are set up as rewards more than well -balanced pokemon. Mewtwo can easily take out 3 pokemon without being K.Oed, has the best stats in the game by far, and a vry large move selection boosted with amnesia and recover (he even has access to submission - x4 damage vs. tyranitar). Mew has impressive stats as well but has access to every TM and HM, which is also overpowered. Or if they are allowed reduce their level to one that makes them equal combatants to other pokemon (at level 100 I think mewtwo has to be lvl ~84, and mew ~90) The mystical birds are well adjusted to other pokemon and can be crushed with super effective hits (moltres and articuno take x4 damage from rock slide), and their are better choices-so no ban on the birds. If you ever plan on expanding to further sets of pokemon the final legendary poke at the end is always an overpowered reward as is the gameshark one, but the other legendaries usually are not.
psychic is the strongest element in the game (R/B/Y anyways) and mewtwo is insanely overpowered, so nerf him in battle tower somehow
-no more than 1 pokemon of the same type
changes your team up a bit so you don't have six chanseys or alakazams
Those two rules are pretty standard, so I'd put those in as well. Some other restrictions ban OHKO moves (one-hit knock-out) like fissure and horn drill, or evasion boosting moves like double-team and minimize, but I wouldn't go that far-those moves are pretty well balanced tests of luck.
