Is there a WIP for the Gym Leader/E4 AI?

[Willphonse]

I've just got to the E4, and I'm currently experiencing a lot of problems with the E4 members, as every time I go to do a move which is super effective against the others pokemon (EG: My Ampharos against Will's Xatu) they'll switch to one the move is either not effective against.
I dunno, I've spent the best part of an hour trying to work with this and it's rather difficult right now.

When can we expect a battling system update?

Sorry if this has been answered multiple times. I looked but couldn't find anything.

That is actually the improved version of their artificial intelligence. I don't think it will be changing for now, as they're much smarter than what they used to do (choose moves out of complete random, and Forretress always exploding).

this is a feature, nilllzz dma it so the trainer AIs are smarter and know when it is a good time to switch out. they can basically predict some of the moves you might use

That's pretty dumb, IMO. It just makes battling annoying if you're trying to train pokemon.

Well, what would you expect? They're the Pokémon League! They're supposed to be one of the more challenging parts of the game! Maybe set your difficulty lower if they're too difficult for you?

They wouldn't be difficult if they didn't switch pokemon constantly.

Well it's their job to give you a challenge, switching out helps add to that challenge.

Not when you're trying to train off of them.

I'm not trying to take a stab at pkmn3d, even when it's indev, but knowing when a move is going to wipe that pokemon out or knowing when the move is going to be super-effective is just adding to a challenge.

 

[Drakoal]

Get used to it, its suppose to be a challenge. If they tweaked the AI for it to be less challenging, then people would complain that the e4 is too easy, the creators of pokemon3D can't make everyone happy. So, what I suggest, is train off of the trainers that call you for a rematch, keep calling them and grinding off of them.

Thanks.

I don't mean to be a pain about this.
