Better than PLA pve. Worse than main series pvp. Better than main series pve

Much better in PLZA. PLA battles were retarded since your mon was basically glued to the spot while you could run around which didnt make any sense at all.

>>58562871
It would be good if the game had QA but they skipped that completely.

>>58562871
ZA has the better battles, PLA's battles were just a formality because a game where you focus solely on catching Pokemon and dodging them with no way to fight back except bags of shit would've been stupid.
And that's what all the boss fights amounted to anyway, which WAS stupid.

>>58562871
PLA, fuck real time slop fags
like sure, ZA has 'potential' as it is, but it massively encourages passive play and running away. story battles are just button mashing but even less strategy because 99% of moves are pointless to use outside of direct damage

ZA has better everything

>>58562871
Side step for me. I didn't really hate Arceus' battle system personally, just felt that there could've been a few more significant battles.

I think the combat in this game had a lot of potential but it kind of fizzled out about halfway through for me, and then became rock paper scissors one shot spamming. Ranked is a bit better but it often becomes just hanging back and kill stealing, going in first isn't really rewarded.

I feel like ZA's battle system could've really done with some sort of dodge/defensive mechanic that isn't tied to a moveslot. The moves that force a reposition usually still end up with you tanking a hit. So using glass cannons is a lot harder.

Who the fuck cares if PLA's battle system is better or worse when you barely ever engage with it

I think LZA made it so much better. I love the new battle mechanics and I had so much fun getting to rank a in online royale. It should unironically be the new standard for future games.

>Can battle any wild Pokemon, and will need to if you want to catch the harder ones
>Significant trainer battles sprinkled throughout the game
>Volo and Giratina fight which is orders more difficult than most Pokemon battles
>Can rechallenge important trainers at the battlefield unlike ZA
>Eternal Battle Reverie instead of Infinite ZA Royale without level scaling
I'm thinking you haven't played the game or rushed through it. Both games are awesome and have their own strengths. No need to exaggerate

Just finished the Restaurant Le Wow 10 Course Banquet and it scratched an itch I didn’t know I had from like Gen 1 or 2.

They’re really onto something with ZA’s system

>>58563570
Really? I did that and felt it was just alright. Have you guys played any other ARPGs?

>>58562871
PLA gigamogs PLZA

I had a Krokorok w/ Shell Bell who got Toxic’d immediately.

For the whole 10 fights I had to switch him in and out almost immediately to avoid the toxic ticks. Having to constantly make decisions on the fly was kino.

There really is something special there if they can work out how to make different positioning and AOE attacks engaging.

I see the vision is all.

yes

>>58563590
Fair enough. To me that's not that mindblowing. I think I just prefer turn based in JRPGs. Action is cool but idk if I feel like it's a good fit for Pokemon. May just be me though

>>58562871
ZA's combat is clunky as fuck

>>58563590
it doesn't excuse the difficulty curve but I did have a lot more fun when I started giving myself gimmicks to work into the battle, like fighting using all the field hazard moves

No
