if only it had level scaling...
>>58506209Still wouldn’t fix a shit game. What the fuck was the point of team star “storyline” again?
>>58506209>if only every area and trainer had the exact same difficulty and made the game even easier...Lol, no.
>>58506540that's.. that isn't how it works anon
>>58506209Why would that make it better?
>>58506553It is.
>>58506577Well OP?
>>58506209God please no I hate level scaling. I want to be able to go against higher level or lower level opponents whenever I want.
>>58506537They needed an evil team substitute
>>58506537Only a real outsider can come in and beat up all these bullied kids turned potential school shooters and get them to act in line like proper good students.
>>58506577>Go up one side of the map>Gain levels rapidly, almost endgame level>Go down the other>So below you in level that they're just obligatory wastes of timeIt's a rather strange balance choice
>>58506671I asked why you think it would make the game better.Please answer the question.
>>58506674So there would no longer be the strange balance choice
>>58506209Level scalingFast skip dialogueExp share offAffection offLevel designActual texturesA debug phaseWaiting for trannies to tackle all these points in a future romhack before they do a flip.
>>58506678How would this improve anything? Be specific.
>>58506682To implement proper progression without assuming the player will arbitrarily fly between both sides of the map to follow the challenge order
>>58506687So this anon's issue was right.>>58506540Because you haven't addressed his issues yet.
>>58506682Nta, but it would also for journey personnalisation, each runs could be very different depending on what path you are taking first, you would be tackling problems in different orders with very different teams.
>>58506682because it would turn exploration into true freedom as opposed to there being a predetermined way to tackle the open world. the 8th gym should always be the most challenging, if i challenge katy last she should have a stronger team. it makes the game more immersive, gives you a real sense of progression rather than feeling like you went in the wrong order and makes it so every gym/star/titan feels rewarding to face
>>58506689>>58506695>It would be better because the game would have worse level designok.
>>58506704explain how it would be worse, i'm waiting
>>58506682You wouldn't have to go all over the place to battle in order of progessing level and you could still choose which order to navigate the open world however you want. Are you that stupid that you do not know how to infer meaning from anon's easy to understand post?
>>58506708Someone else already did it for me.>>58506540
>>58506714explain how it makes it easier, i'm waiting
>>58506721Sure.>There can not be opponants higher level than youSimple as that.
>>58506688It would ideally adjust per badge providing the same experience as any other pokemon gameWhy does everyone on vpenis argue in bad faith
>>58506728there also can't be opponents much lower level than you retard-kun
>>58506731So you're always level x. And you only battle level x pokemon. X is always equal to your level so you never fight anyone stronger/weaker than you.I don't see how that's more fun.
>>58506736Okay. And?
>>58506739To provide a natural difficulty curve more akin to other pokemon games
>>58506750Other pokemon games don't do this.What "other Pokemon game" are you referring to, retard?
>>58506753gen 1-8 probably. because they're linear and thus have a ramping difficulty curve, like what adding level scaling would do to gen 9
>>58506759Gen 9 already have a ramping difficulty curve, just like all the older games.
>>58506704It doesn't have level design in the first place so whatever.
>>58506767only if you tackle the open world in a specific way, which defeats the purpose of an open world. are you literally one of the dumbest people on the planet?
>>58506753They do. It's why the gyms get harder (or at least go up in level) in sequential order. It's just hard implemented rather than using a floating per-badge system.
>>58506772SV isn't an open world game tho.
>>58506739Wrong.Progress based scaling means a level RANGE, not a single level.
>>58506731>can't EVER be underleveledHow the fuck is that fun you braindead retardThe best part about SV was doing all Titans early or fighting Mela after Brassius
>>58506820>Progress based scaling means a level RANGE, not a single level.It can mean both. But either way, like this anon says, sounds unfun. It was unfun in Crystal Clear too, the whole game because easy.>>58506831
Should I play with mods for a first playthrough? Thinking of playing it with compass.
don't want to pop your bubble, but level scaling only fixes replayability, if anyone want challenge then that is not possible without pokemon forcing you to battle them, overall nothing is good
>>58506838>It's too easyThen give me a hard mode.
>>58506863>Level scaling is too easy>then let me adjust the difficulty to something of my own choice...You mean like you can do in SV?
>>58506209fuck that
>>58506851Yeah
>>58506209Actually, I'd rather have all areas have stuff of eveyr levelImagine, a pack of houndoors level 15, with mommy houndoom at level 35.Are you going to risk it? In an area full of level 5 caterpies, suddendly they run away in fear. A level 40 honchikrow is hunting.This is what pokemon open world should be and feel likePick your risks and rewards.As for trainers, they should have a symbol that tells you their difficulty.Gym leaders SHOULD be level scaled according to badges, OBVIOUSLY.And finally, the villain team should act according to badges. They will attack the supermarket but only after you reach 5 badges etc.That kind of thing
>>58506540actual retardthis is how you know pokefags literally only play pokegarbage
>>58506898>Let me choose my order AND have a challenge through the whole campaign>Why do that when you can tackle hard stuff early and steamroll the stuff you skipped in the sequenceI don't know anon. What would I want more of what I want instead of less?
>>58506922That's how GF would implement it. The games are supposed to be easy.
>>58506209>you have to maniacally flip flop from one side to another to go in ordershit design, Pokemon as it is now doesn't work with open world, even with level scaling.
>>58506915Will do then, cheers.
>>58506209if only it ran better on release. if only it wasn't so empty. if only the story was better. if only the art style looked like pokemon. if only there wasn't so many glitches. if only it took literally anything good from legends arceus. if only it had draw distance (still unfixed).
>>58507032The story was awesome doe
>>58506209Would have made a top 5 contender of best pokemon games
>>58507046Which part? I didn't enjoy this game very much, but I'm glad someone did.
>>58506209the Open World is still bland and boring as shit, level scalng probably wouldn't have even helped
>>58506772Even then, you'll still be overleveled thanks to the shit exp share
>>58507113Arven's story and everything about Area ZeroBest story in mainline Pokémon
>>58507244I didn't like either. SV has been my least favourite plot of any Pokemon game. Didn't help that I disliked all the characters/Pokemon.I don't know how they did it, but they made a super un-likable game for my tastes.
>>58507244i hated everything about arveni'd kill his dog in front of him
>>58507267Do you happen to be Chinese?
>>58507260That's crazy, I think it blows all other stories out of the fucking waterWhich game had the best story in your opinion?>>58507267You have no soul and the world would be a better place if you died
>>58507287>Which game had the best story in your opinion?Gold/Silver.The story ends with you defeating a trainer that represents your previous achivements in the first game. Very hard to top.
>>58506680Theyll kill themselves before then.
>>58507308Really? GS has basically no story at all, especially S
>>58507308you are the problem
>>58507308>postgame fanficfaggot
>>58507308You're based for this.Johto shows you a quiet countryside and does a great job telling a story about tradition vs the need to move on from the past. Kanto did a great job weaving in its subplots and BW and SuMo had better characters, but Johto had the best execution of its story. Dipshits whine about the Rocket plotline "not having closure," outing themselves as morons, constantly.
>>58506209>if only they made the game objectively worse to cater to retards who are shit at the game...
>>58507938i don't think you know what level scaling is
>>58507934>telling a story about tradition vs the need to move on from the pastJohto did none of that. When you beat the last Rocket Executive, there is no self reflection about moving on. He's just like "oh I wasn't up for the task, well bye"It didn't even do the "it doesn't shove the legendaries down your throat" shit well when you're forced to encounter the legendary beasts in Burned Tower. It started the "box legendary" trend by shoving Ho-oh and Lugia in your face on the fucking box. GS started the trend of hyping up the big bad legendaries.
>>58508113>The game didn't treat me like a fucking retard and directly tell me the point of the story: it must be aimless.HGSS added the Giovanni event specifically for morons like you.
>>58507963i don't think you know what level scaling is
>>58508139there was no point, you're making shit up
>>58508139You know you have no ground to stand on when all you can do is act like a pissy faggot.
>>58506209Yeah if only it had level scaling, it would make up for>complete barren wasteland of a map devoid of any interesting>N64 graphics>dreadful performance on Switch 1>un-interesting boss design>retarded gym challenges>cringe dialogue with no voice actingPoor Gamefreak, if it wasn't a small indie company they would've implemented level scaling and the entire game would've been fixed.
