FuriousFure Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Pokémon Trainer: Final Smash <Pokemon Orgy> triple team? triple penetration!
DuskyFerret Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 hah, everything i've dreamed of when i was a kid: fire-hydro-solar beam-blast-pump Yeah, but just think... If Ivysaur was doing razorleaf in this combination, the whole thing would've changed. The flames would've charred the leaves and the water would've put them out. So in essence, the Pokemon Trainer's Final Smash would've been a flurry of burnt soggy leaves. Not very effective!
Mastertoku Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Hmm - this is, well, pretty much what I was expecting. Delightful nonetheless. I wonder if it's aimable?
Takashi Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 You know it would seem weird seeing this hit Pikachu, Piichu, and Mewtwo since you know none of them are weak to Fire, Grass, or Water..in fact if memory serves Pikachu is resistant to water
Ray Falling Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 "Super effective" should be the new "pwned" or whatever you internet kids say these days >_> I too had a good chuckle when I read it I'm loving the updates lately; nothing too spoilerific and nothing too un-interesting. When is Smash coming out again?
Airwalker Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Triple Threat? Dang, I was hoping for some amazing rare and powerful Pokemon as the final smash.
Sir_NutS Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Nuts gets hit by Update... It's super effective!
Admiral_C Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 ..in fact if memory serves Pikachu is resistant to water He's not... Electric beats water, but water is neutral to electric. On topic: Can't wait for December
Neo Samus Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Nuts gets hit by Update...It's super effective! That's gonna leave a mark. Cool update. But I'm really want to see the rest of the old cast return.
MasterSenshi Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Wow, that's so much awesome, I don't even know how to describe it. And, I totally agree, Eulogic, that text box makes it so very much better. The fact that it's Super Effective? That makes it so much more demoralizing. ^ ^ --Jack Kieser Sakurai said that it isn't really super effective; look at the text box, the attack is being used on Fox. It might be interesting if suddenly they all acquired elements Pokemon style, but it's just an effect. That said, it does look like a really cool attack. Finally something other than fire.. or a big beam... three beams! ^^ I'm going to seriously investigate the Pokemon Trainer now.
Solid Krono Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 So I wonder how it's going to work at the beginning of a battle with the pokemon trainer. You only fight with the pokemon right? So which pokemon comes out first? Maybe it's random unless you hold a certain button (kinda like how in melee you can start as shiek instead of zelda). Also if the switch isnt instant, which it doesnt appear to be since he recalls the pokemon out and then throws a new poke ball out into battle, it could be an interesting way to avoid attacks instead of shielding or air dodging.

Finally something other than fire.. or a big beam... three beams! ^^ I'm going to seriously investigate the Pokemon Trainer now. I know that it won't actually do more damage based on 'Super Effective-ness" (although that would totally rock); what I meant is that if that text box wasn't there, it wouldn't be nearly as demoralizing to get hit by that attack. Getting nailed by a Final Smash? That sucks. It always being 'Super Effective' on your scrawny ass? Way worse. --Jack Kieser
HalcyonSpirit Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Also if the switch isnt instant, which it doesnt appear to be since he recalls the pokemon out and then throws a new poke ball out into battle, it could be an interesting way to avoid attacks instead of shielding or air dodging. Probably wouldn't be a very good tactic. If it's anything like I believe it to be, there's probably going to be a slight delay between when you hit the command to when the pokémon is recalled, during which you are vulnerable to attack.
Ray Falling Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 The Trainer's profile also says switching out too much isn't good for your Pokemon. Remember, they have stamina as well. The order of the pokemon appearance is also in that profile. I think it always starts with Squirtle.
BardicKnowledge Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 The Trainer's profile also says switching out too much isn't good for your Pokemon. That's only half the story. The full quote is as follows: If you keep fighting with the same Pokémon, or if you change them out too often, it’s not so good for the Pokémon. So, you have to know when to switch, but....not too often? Seems like either everyone will have something to learn about this, or we're making a bigger deal out of it than we should be.
oscarjunk25 Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I really want this game for nintendo wii!! David!

I know, but I meant in the context of using the switching out to avoid attacks. Since switching out is bad for the poke's (granted that we don't know how it will affect them) I figured switching out would not be some uber dodge technique like someone might have thought.
Airwalker Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Probably wouldn't be a very good tactic. If it's anything like I believe it to be, there's probably going to be a slight delay between when you hit the command to when the pokémon is recalled, during which you are vulnerable to attack. Yeah, I'd have to imagine this would be the case. A pokemon would probably stand still for a split second while he is sent back into his ball to compensate for the split second it takes to through a new ball out.
Strike911 Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 just got to say that the update last night was full of win... I love the text !
Linkjing Donuts Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 sakurai sounds a little annoyed/pissed off/in a rush in this update
Inimitable Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Yes, you're right. The way he says "Take advantage of its robust tourney-generating functions!" makes it really apparent.
DuskyFerret Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 sakurai sounds a little annoyed/pissed off/in a rush in this update Yea...I love the way he has a go at people with no friends. He's going Tourney mode is good to play with friends, if you have friends, but if you don't it's okay cos you can still play...it's just much better with friends. But it's okay cos there are computers to play with, but they're not really friends are they? It's good to have friends.
Ciel Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 It is a matter of public record that tournaments are more likely to function to expectation given actual participants.
