[Suggestion]: Thoughts about the new Battle System 0.36

Davey

Champion
Hello,

I know the battle system is incomplete, I am just airing what I think so far.

1) Great job. It looks a lot more stylish. Does detract a little from the original games, but I thoroughly enjoy the feel of it.
2) Menu Floater. Please make the mouse pointer a usable object here. It's not very clear at the moment to see which menu is highlighted, so I would normally use the mouse to do that. I can see "run" being used on occasions where I wouldn't intend it to be. :)
3) Pokemon Sprites. Another great idea having 3D and real looking sprites. I feel that some players would want this to be optional though due to frame rates and playstyle. Personally I would prefer to play the game with the new sprites instead of the pixelated ones, but each person is different.
4) Camera Flitter. This will probably give a lot of people a headache after a short time. Can we please have an option to set the flittering between "location 1 and location 2" on the screen? For example: "dynamic shuffle/static view" (think Final Fantasy battle options for camera). <3
5) Menu Memory. Could we get menu memory like before, where it remembers your last attack or item usage, etc. Currently it resets it on each attack phase.
6) Thanks for waiting and not rushing it, we appreciate the time it takes to program this game and have your own personal real life. Yeah it's not complete right now, but think of how many bugs would have been
prevalent if this had been rushed 2-3 weeks early.

All the best,
Dave

I agree with Dave on a lot of points! I think you guys did a great job so far, and I am thoroughly enjoying this game. I have to admit though, I do like the older battle system a lot better, maybe it's just because i got used to it. The battle menu CAN be confusing at times because I can't always tell which button is highlighted, but that's minor. I really like the option to skip text faster instead of having to wait on it to finish. Thanks for all the work you put into this game! I will donate in the future when I have the money! Great work!

The menu is in no way a final thing
Nilllzz has plans to change it but was not able to implement it yet
We decided we had reached the point where doing more with the system was not worth delaying the update

When your pokemon levels up, can it not learn new abilities? My Phanpy is level 6 now, but he hasn't learned any new abilities yet. I thought he was supposed to have the option to learn flail.
