I hate Spinda but only because its the only shiny I've ever seen not counting the red Gyarados and my Marshtomp killed it with a crit.

Fuck you Spinda, fuck you so much.
 
Well, I don't really care for Froakie I suppose, but it has grown on me a little.

I do kinda hate the Marshtomp design but I hated that before it killed the Spinda. Mudkip and Swampert are cool though.

Spinda can still die.

I mean you hate it because you did too much damage to it, but what did too much damage to it? Also, never use powerful enough attacks that have a chance to crit a 1-Hit-KO on a shiny. I honestly would have just kept throwing Pokeballs at it without lowering it's health.
 
How did they do it there?
I think it's the same way it's done in the games - the 3D model has the spots in the appropriate place, from the models I've looked at. I'm not sure which PID is being used for the Dex 3D model, though.

It's probably something like drawing to the Spinda's texture before it's presented to the screen.

Hey shut up. You're not my therapist!

I always thought the textures use a different data.

Also I wonder if they'll model Pokemon with gender differences
 
No reason why they wouldn't model gender differences, and Spinda patterns, and all that stuff - they've had plenty of time to plan for that, and they wouldn't give people another reason to miss the sprites.

In fact, it would probably be easier in most cases - the animation would remain the same, so if it involved doing something like altering the model a bit, or changing the color, it could be done in a relatively short amount of time.
 
The next step - queuing battle commands o_O

This would actually be quite an interesting alternative battle mode. Say you have 3 points each round, queing an attack is 1 point, changing pokemon is 2. Once both players have filled their three points quota the round commence, animations are played out, damage is calculated and then it moves on to the next round. Add a 2v2 option and you got even more layers of strategies and options. Could be fun!
 
Blasted furries. Ruin everything.

Chespin is part of furriness

Ah I was just wondering, since Pokedex 3D Pro didn't seem to put gender differences unless it's too obvious like Unfeazant and Jellicent.

What if someone faints before turn 3?

Probably cut the queue at that point, and move on to the next chain after selecting your replacement.

Or alternatively, have a backup queue which switches in your Pokemon based on their order in the party. Making the pre-match selection a bit more complicated...
 
Guess it would just end that round and the trainer who lost a pokemon gets to change it out for the next one. Pretty much what happens in normal battles, the battles would still be turn and speed based.

Makes sense. Now I'm starting to think of how special game modes would be great for a future battle frontier-like location. I remember the Battle Palace in Emerald that didn't allow moveselecting at all...
 
*reads last two pages*

...

Okay, I'm done. I'M FRIGGIN' DONE! This is bullsh*t! THIS IS FRIGGIN' BULLSH*T!

WHAT IS THIS?!

WHAT IS THIS?!

WHAT IS MY LIFE?!

I CAN'T DO IT, IKE!

so nobody caught the game grumps reference

WEAK

you know scrafty, we're pretty fucking similar. its starting to weird me out lol...
 
One thing they could do, expanding somewhat on the whole Pokestar Studios thing - battle challenges.

You're given a premade team, and with that team, you have to defeat a set of trainers for a prize. Each battle could have a different condition (perma-rain, limited PP per move, single element vs. team-of-element-you-are-weak-against, etc.), and as you progress, the conditions get harsher.
 
What is a game... grumps?

So, I've been playing in the Wifi tournament going on.

I faced some kid who was obviously playing with his favourite Pokemon like Lunatone, Samurott and Zoroark. After my Adamant Landorus-T outsped his Zoroark and he tried to use Charge Beam Lunatone, I felt sort of dirty beating him into the ground. I think it's because it reminded me of the Penny Arcade Pokemon tournament blip.

I just feel dirty when I ruin small children's dreams about Pokemon.

I confused Landorus-T with Taurus. Yeah it's understandable to feel a little bad.

It's just like when I was playing random tournament in Super Street Fighter IV, I got Honda which is actually my main and this poor fella got Gouken. You could just tell, he was trying to learn the moves but I just went ham on him and double perfected.

I was Gouken, I never played the game after that embarrassment, and the little kid you beat probably will never play pokemon again. You singlehandedly ruined his favorite series, you monster.
