Ranting & Raving!
The only two ways I can see this done is either:While this is admittedly a big concern that I hadn't considered before you mentioned it, I still really want it to happen. There's a good chance I would never experience it firsthand (the only mainline game I've played is Emerald, and starting fresh again after over a decade would probably be very jarring) but just living in a world where players can put funny hats on their Pokemon and send them into battle would be delightful.
1. They can somehow "anchor" pieces of clothing onto the model after you positioned it. The clothing would become it's own static element on the model, thus light and shadows probably effecting it differently and some of the Pokemon's animations may cut into the piece of clothing. An example of what I'm talking about is Code Vein's character creation (I skipped to the part which starts at 5:31) though other games have had adjustable clothing in the past. Now granted Code Vein only has to worry about two models, male and female humanoids, but I think something like this could mostly work.
2. A more complex but also more controlled (and probably better looking) option would be creating clothing sets for each Pokemon. Now doing this would probably mean the clothing options would be VERY limited, some Pokemon not being allowed to wear certain clothing, and some clothing options for one Pokemon not being available for another. However it would be something that's actually on the model and thus has the proper lighting and shading the Pokemon has and there would no body parts of the Pokemon cutting through it.
I think the following could easily be implemented into the Battle Tower expy:I think the Battle Arena format from Emerald's Battle Frontier should also make a return, as that was the only Battle Frontier format that shook up the gameplay without relying on outside factors or being RNG bullsh*t (cough Battle Palace).
Hoenn BF Facilities: Factory (Rentals), Arena, Dome (Knock-out Tourney), Pike
Sinnoh's BF Facilities: Factory (Rentals), Arcade, Hall
Battle Revolution Colosseums: Gateway (Rentals), Waterfall (Knock-out Tourney), Neon, Crystal, Sunny Park, maybe Sunset (version of Rentals)
Others: Inverse, Institute, Little Cup (which is Sunny Park Colosseum's gimmick)
Also you could probably mix-and-match some of these gimmicks together, probably can create some wild combinations.
Like many other oldgen Pokemon, some of them could use with a stat redistribution (what were they thinking making Articuno a tank...).- oldgen legendaries should definitely be buffed
If they do I have some requests:- conquest deserves a remake
1. Have the Pokemon learn at least more than 1 move.
2. Have turns be a day instead of being a month, or at least a week.
I get why things are like that in the normal Nobunaga Ambition series since you're dealing with human soldiers. A human soldier would be trained in one kind of combat style, and a human would take about a month to heal from any serious injury received from combat. However the soldiers are now Pokemon which can perform multiple kind of moves and only need a good's night rest to heal any injury they've obtained. Limiting a Pokemon to one move only makes the armies look like idiots for not using the full potential of their Pokemon and each turn being called a "month" feel like they're lazying about.
I don't understand what you're talking about and the image doesn't help.
Wanted to talk about this one last, mainly because I want to link to a video that I like that really goes into the issue. Now ultimately the video ends on the side of "GF could be doing more" and wishing they would sell their shares to Nintendo and have them takeover development of future Pokemon games, but before then and for most of the video does try to stay unbiased seeing the points of both sides:i think it's time to post this again, which is kinda a good reason to start cutting mons
However, no matter what side of the argument you land on, you do have to agree with one thing: GF handled this entire thing poorly and let things get out of hand.
Let us remember how all this went down. Let's start with the obvious: this is a HUGE decision. A franchise changing decision. Until now you could transfer all the Pokemon you've ever trained to the current games even if they weren't in the Regional Dex. Many people got connected to certain Pokemon or just have favorite Pokemon they like seeing how they've been changed & updated or perform with the new mechanics. GF themselves emphasized this was a tough decision for them.
So, how did they tell us this news? By having a lengthy Pokemon Direct where they discussed their thought process, weighing the pros and cons, explaining and revealing what they'd now be able to do without having to transfer over all non-regional Pokemon (as well as not having Mega Evolutions & Z-Moves), promising and talking about their plans for how Pokemon not in the regional dex will be assured to appear in later installments, talking more about HOME and what it has to offer that'll make it worth transferring the left behind Pokemon into it to wait, and maybe have weekly reveals on the website of Pokemon who are & aren't in the game with maybe a short explanation why that's the case? Thus showing how much this decision has affected them and showing respect to the players by asking them to hear them out and to stay with them during these turbulent times as they figure out this new way development theology?
NOPE! Instead Masuda tried to sneakily mention it as an offhand remark during a E3 Treehouse segment, something which not a lot of people would have watched initially, and them immediately try moving on. But it didn't slip by as it seemed like GF was hoping for. Nope, they awoke the rage of the fans who, due to how obtuse the statement was, in their minds saw Masuda walk up to their favorite Pokemon and murdered it in cold blood. So, now with the fans in a fury, does GF put together an official response up immediately on the main Sword & Shield website trying to explain everything they could have said in a Pokemon Direct but now in a less eye-catching way & condensed form to try and gain back control and calm down their customers?
NOPE 2! Instead they did the weaselly thing many businesses and corporations are doing now when they get in trouble or into a controversy that rarely works yet they all try anyway: lay low and hope it blows over. In the meantime, while fan rage continued to build out of control, a magazine then released a interview with Masuda where he mentions that Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves were also going the way of the National Dex. Not only adding more fuel to the fire, but I'd also imagine converted a large number of people who originally were defending GF's decision to now join the mob.
And it was then after all this did GF throw together a statement to stick onto the Sword & Shield main site, barely explaining anything yet still saying you should support them and buy the new games.
All of this is why I call GF lazy. I noticed whenever someone brings up the word "lazy" suddenly a batch of people on here jump to defend GF as not being lazy. But I think they don't understand, at least when I say "lazy", what I mean by it. When I call GF lazy I don't mean they aren't working hard, far from it, Sword & Shield looks fine and functional and a lot of care went into it. No, when I call GF lazy I'm more talking about the GF's higher-ups tendency to try and dodge responsibility for decisions, many being poorly thought out. What happened above tells me a lot about how the higher-ups in GF think: they want to do anything they like and not have to deal with any criticism that'll come from doing it (or they're so out of touch with fans they'll think we'll accept whatever they do because Pokemon). And while they certainly can do the former as we've seen plenty of times, it's the latter part which I have the issue with. No GF, if you make what I feel is a bad decision I'm going to call you out on it. You want to play fast and loose but Pokemon has become a juggernaut of a franchise where some restraint, structure, and stability could really help ascend the franchise above what it has given us thus far. But the GF higher-ups don't want that, they just want to come up with new toys & ideas to play with that they'll get bored of by next gen and want to abandon for the newest toy/idea they come up with; like a toddler.
What King Feraligatr said above has made me imagine the Pokemon franchise being this large boat that, either due to the old captain's stubborn ways or his overseers demanding schedule, is starting to show her age yet she's been good so far there's no need to take her off duty for maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. But how long until she finally sprung a leak so big it causes her to sink? What happens then? Will they just let it stay sunk, a victim of poor mismanagement? Would the captain (GF) finally retire/surrender their rights to the ship (franchise) to the overseer (Poekmon Company and Nintendo) who would salvage the ship and finally do her justice by giving her the overhaul she's been needing and being less demanding with the schedule? Admittedly this ship metaphor isn't the best but I think it gets my point across well enough.
