Game Update Tracker #1 - Anniversary Update

[Daziman]

As a compensation measure for today's problem, the Staff would update every day new entries called "Update Tracker", where we show new features of the upcoming updates.​

This time, we would like to show you a preview of the "New Battle System". The system isn't final and could have some changes. We hope that you like this video!

A little disappointing, why change the battle sprites with overworld sprites?

 

[frozenshado7]

is there an option to use the original one? I liked the old sprites and all the camera movement kinda hurts to look at.

I kinda agree with this, it's a neat feature and all but I would very much like to keep it the way it is, maybe the rotating in battles with the old style but I dislike how long a battle would take in comparison to the old battles.

Edit: Not to mention how the overworld sprites look very meh compared to the actual sprites.

The Animated sprites were swapped with the overworld sprites because of space for one. The files for all the animated sprites took up loads of space.
Secondly, the video did not display the camera very well. It actually moves much smoother. The user recording the video was almost constantly spamming e, space, click, enter, etc. It's hard to describe. But the system is NOT final. Expect changes.

so the animated sprites are not coming back?

Personally even if it moves smoother I would like the older version far more than the current, it's a lot simpler and gives the nostalgic feel of playing pokemon.

Seems like an interesting idea. I'd like to see what it looks like with attack annimations before I make a judgement.

I love the new health bar! And the buttons too!

Most likely not. But everything is subject to change.

Is lua going to still be implemented in this battle system?

No
Sorry
I would have told you but we weren't going to spoil anything beforehand....

 

[Mashew]

guys didnt you just listen to darkfire? he said its not final. i to think the camera loks kind of weird, but itll lok awesome onc its finished. (keyboard kind of broken)

 

[Mashew]

can we still do first person?

 

[Exemplary]

Wait. This uses overworld sprites.
Shiny pokemans use the normal sprites.
So, how do we tell if pokemans are shiny?
