Developers Jan Posted October 2, 2017 Author Developers Share Posted October 2, 2017 Spoiler Imo this cap system works much better. Also in regards to balance, I felt as if some significant fights were made easier in V9 compared to V8. Is this intentional, with normal becoming more forgiving and the proper challenge moving to intense, or was it somewhat unintentional and they'll be picked up again in future if they're a bit soft? @DreamblitzX It was intentional and unintentional at the same time. I did take some of the power in normal and shift it over to Intense mode. Some battles in normals were just way too difficult to call "normal". Unfortunately, some fights in normal were too nerfed and resulted in really easy fights. Revenant Keta is one where I had to remove mons because of the amount of exp that was given at that point. But because of the new cap system, that will no longer be necessary. So Keta will get his full tem back in v10. @sandy Spoiler the level difference between venam and ketta is 20 and our current cap is 80 so the drop in the cap next episode will be bigger than 10 i beleive The cap between Venam and Keta is definitely not 20, lol. It's 10. Like I said in the post, levels will be going down by 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So about that whole level limiter thing I guess I should be specific if it is the same format as the one I drew up (Sardines was the one who kind of helped and rewrote it to its current form): -I choose not to disable Rare Candies actually due to the starters. Some people actually thought this was an oversight, but it serves no harm especially due to the obedience system layer in place. -Insurgence did this before with 1 exp. I knew that message would be annoying so I opted to remove it entirely using 0 exp instead. They did this to make sure EVs would still be added to a Pokemon. This issue has been resolved with HC's level limiter so even if you are not gaining experience, you can still EV train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord C Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I wonder what sort of in-game explanation will exist for the level caps. The normal one of them disobeying was something consistent with the manga, as badges release some sort of waves that would allow to better control powerful pokemon in it.

Global Mods Dreamy Posted October 3, 2017 Global Mods Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Honestly I feel like most 'canonical' explanations of actual level caps tied to the badges either don't make sense (with either implementation) or require super convoluted setup and stuff, so IMO a good way to do it is to just tell the player that the level cap increasing as you get badges just represents you as the character becoming more skilled as a trainer and able to train your pokemon to be stronger. (with the hard level caps on xp) though this would obviously be hard to change to when you have NPCs mentioning level caps and related things like reverse candies in-character already. Also why is the sidequests bar half green but on 0% currently? Edited October 3, 2017 by DreamblitzX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the concept of the actual show, levels don't exist. It's just a frame made to create gameplay progression. Also that shouldn't have been green, lol. It's been corrected. Alsox2 quoting now works??

Well, actually a kid in the early episodes in a pokemon academy points out levels while explaining the specifics of Pidgey evolving during early episodes. But yeah, that wasn't followed and soon abandoned. Meanwhile, in the manga, they follow the existance of levels, with Red and Green pointing out by the Fire Red/Leaf Green arc that it is nearly impossible for their pokemon to get stronger now in Kanto and they'd need to do so somewhere else. In special, Black himself keeps an eye constantly in the progression of his pokemons levels and the accuracy of their moves with his pokedex. But yeah, in the end it doesn't really matter much. Levels as a whole are mostly a symbol for us to keep tabs in the growth of the pokemon... like power levels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how you'll get Fly, but you won't be able to fly around like Melia does. As cool as it would be, it's not practical to code, and also it would just be a faster bike at that point, lol. 7 hours ago, Lucifer said: will the teleporter be removed in v10? i would love to just go back and see the new map work without having to start like my 50th save file ^^ It won't be removed.
