Sp /vp/ how do you feel about the new HP bar?
Looks very "mobile game"-ish to me
Same way I felt about all the other HP bars. I don't give a shit.
>>26332224
Wow what a tough guy. Fuck off back to /pol/ you edge lord
...Neat. Would be cool if they did something similar to BW2. Black2 had black borders around hp bars and white had white.
Red one red purple on purple.
It's definitely a HP bar that's for sure.
>>26332246
Literally who cares
>>26332246
>not giving a shit about incredibly minor details of the UI makes you a /pol/tard
literally what?
It's fine.
Btw, where is the user's pokémon HP bar?
>>26332246
>in order to not be an edgelord from /pol/, you are required to care about HP bars in a Pokemon game
Does the rival stand there for the whole battle?
gonna need a source on this my man
>>26332202
To me it looks like it has a bit of cartoony/paint-like feel to it.
>>26332314
Yes and so do you.
>>26332317
latest pokemon sunday (or whatever the fuck its called now) episode
>>26332202
It's backwards. I always thought that the hp bar should be thicker on the low health end. Sometimes you have no idea what is going on when a pokemon is on low health.
>>26332316
No you're just a retard familia
>>26332317
They showed a trailer on Pokenchi today.
>>26332202
I didn't even notice that in the trailers. I's say it looks pretty artsy. I like the color/design of it.
>>26332202
>The rival gets the weaker starter
Fuck this shit
>>26332202
It's probably not final just like the gameplay from the trailer itself.
>>26332202
the little paint scribble behind the health bar is kind of nifty
but more importantly, it's a health bar. who gives a shit?
>>26332401
Where have you been? did you just completely miss Bianca and Shauna?
>>26332396
>>26332344
oh ok i didn't see it.
did they show anything else new or was that it?
>>26332202
Where was this from exactly? I'd like some link or something.
>>26332202
Gives me some real Mario Sunshine vibes
So where can I see the new footage?
>>26332441
It was the only new thing talked about in the Pokenchi thread so I assume it's the only new clip.
>>26332465
It was from the latest Pokenchi episode, the hosts reviewed a trailer for Sun and Moon, looks like this one had a few extra seconds like the CoroCoro one.
>>26332202
Whoa, do we actually see enemy trainer behind the pokemon?
>>26332202
Kinda cool.
>>26332526
Is there any link to this or what?
>>26332246
Fuck off, underage.
>>26332202
depends on the attack to hp drop delay
>>26332202
The paint splash gives off an artsy feel and fits in well with a tropical region.
I wonder if you can always see the NPC trainers outside of the first match.
Nintendo really overdoes it with the painted/knitted/papercraft/clay/generally-homemade vibe these days, doesn't it? Like they're trying to portray themselves as quaint, small and homegrown when they're about as far from that as it gets
>>26332335
Nice. The gym battles should be a lot better than Gen 6's then.
Looks kinda gross but I don't give a shit.
>>26332202
Is that bar fucking tilted?
God approximating damage would be a pain in the ass
>>26332615
Don't think it would be below 98%.
>>26332202
I just noticed how there's other people in the back too, nice touch!
btw, is that Shauna in the back?
>>26332202
did someone record the thing?
Is there a link to this or something??
>>26332615
Not entirely, it just expands over to the right.
>>26332246
Just when I thought the word "edgy" couldnt be more overused.
HP bar is alright, I guess. Something tells me the in-battle trainer models will only be a rival thing. I'd love to be wrong though.
So let me get this right, pokénchi actually showed some new footage for once and not a single person was around to record it?
>>26332295
your pokemon's health bar disappears when you're attacking, right?
>>26332728
seems that way. Looks like I'll have to start watching this shit weekly just to see some slightly new footage like I did with XY.
>>26332202
>HP bar isn't a perfect rectangle any more
>people actually care
>>26332728
It seems it was just like Corocoro and the extra footage was very little but in the end actually gave us something interesting.
This screenshot is the only thing relevant, going by how the thread dedicated to it reacted.
>>26332202
Well, putting the HP bar aside this time, while the actual graphics themselves are still meh (I actually blame the 3DS limitations this time), the style and atmosphere is actually looking rather nice.
>>26332295
It disappears when you're the one attacking
i love the way these battle backgrounds have looked so far. along with the trainers being visible during battle, this game is going to have some cool atmosphere.
>>26332723
They've done away with the chibi models so theoretically they could just use NPC's overworld models in battles if they wanted to.
>>26332202
90s as fuck. I love it
This looks nice but I'd still say that Platinum has the best HP bars
>>26332782
It's nice to see them start to take advantage of full 3D, I wasn't expecting to get non-chibi models and trainers standing in battle till Gen 8
>>26332246
Top fuckin kek.
>>26332889
kek

Confirmed!
>>26332594
You're an idiot.
>>26332909
I was sad when HGSS didn't use Platinum's HP bar
>>26333003
Yeah, that Rhombus shit they used looked ugly by comparison
The only thing that truly matters is how fast it depletes and replenishes.
>>26332973
>Hawaiian Shirt
oh shit
Guys what if in this game the HP bar changes appearance depending on the area you're in? Has something like this happened before in the games I can't remember.
>>26332202
Anybody have a link to the gameplay shown?
>>26333062
No, the closet we've had was BW2 having version exclusive bar colors
>>26332999
nice trips but i stand by my point
>>26332723
Maybe they found out how to lower a model's polygon count when they're further away from the camera.
So where did you got that freaking image? Where's the video?
es no bueno
>>26333066
>>26333125
there is no video, its just a screen from Pokenchi
>>26332202
>no more circles
>full location battle backround
>trainers appear on the field giving directions
I LOVE S&M ALREADY
>>26332246
The post he's responding to doesn't have a single /pol/ buzzword, I hope to christ y'all aren't actually this stupid.
>>26332246
Somebody screencap this
>>26333120
I replied to the completely wrong person. I meant to call this guy an idiot. >>26332649
But I don't see how the HP bar has that homemade look to it either. It just looks more dynamic.
>>26333121
>there are people who don't know how to LOD model
What the fuck?
>>26333175
>wi-fi battles still limited to that same damn background
im sure of it
>>26333037
I'm going to wear a hawaiian shirt while I play SM.
Pic related is not a reaction, it's what I'll be earing.
>>26332246
Only on /vp/ would this bait be taken so hard
>>26333211
>everyone's face when Game Freak learns how to LOD and gen 7 still has framerate issues
>>26333253
I can see it coming from a mile away so I can't be that mad
The real bullshit will be if there's still framerate issues in Gen 8
>>26333296
By the time Gen 8 comes out we will probably have a brand new handheld released, that or it will be exclusive to the New 3DS.
>>26333329
Exactly my point, I would be pissed if GF went through the trouble of making "future proof" models on 3DS just to screw up again on something stronger.
>>26333253
Will SM run smooth on New 3DS and lag on the regular 3DS?
>>26332202
Link to the video where it can be seen?
>>26333244
>finally have a reason to wear my horrible Hawaii shirt again
count me in pal
>>26332202
I liked the more clean and "futuristic" HP bars if that makes sense, don't really care for this one.
This one looks kind of beta-ish and unfinished, which it probably is, but it makes it feel like we're going back to the past.
link to video?
>>26332246
>that whole post
>>26333419
Probably. Good thing I have a new 3ds
>>26332202
reminds me of pokemon battle revolution
"OH!! IT'S A BIG HIT!"
>>26333296
Gen 8 will be running on a Tegra, so I doubt it.
Looks like some 90s shit. Rocket Power.
>>26334036
rocket power was shit
>>26332202
Looks fantastic
>>26332246
toppest of keks
Where can I find the full pokenchi footage?
>>26332246
You got a "I need to tell someone to fuck off to /pol/" quota to fill up for the day, buddy?
>>26332202
>First battle and it already has a special attack.
THIS ISN'T POKEMON ANYMORE. THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THIS GAME?
>>26334895
I'm 90% sure the Kalos starters all had elemental moves at level 5.
>>26334922
They did.
>>26334922
>>26334983
>>26334895
ORAS changed Treecko/Torchic/Mudkip's level up set to have their elemental moves at lv5 too. Seems to be a permanent trend.
>>26333175
Why do people keep mentioning the circles? What was wrong with them?
>>26334895
>Bulbasaur, use tackle
>Chamander, use Scratch
>Repeat 5 times
>Charmander, use growl
>Bulbasaur, use tackle
>Charmander fainted
>>26334922
>>26334983
>>26335008
I can't believe I missed that. No more 5 minute exchanges of pound/scratch/tackle with the occasional leer/growl/tail whip. REAL battling. The kind that took GUTS. A damn travesty.
>>26335050
IT BUILT CHARACTER
>>26335027
they didnt make sense now that xy were in 3D, its like XY kept alot of things from the 2D games for the sake of nostalgia that made the jump to 3D redundant (tile based movement, square towns)
S&M fixed that
>>26333233
>still a shitty "holographic" grid with a fake audience
>only difference is that Pokémon stand on it instead of the circles
What the hell is this?
>>26335027
Tacky, too world-breaking.
It was fine when they had an abstract undetailed background, now it's unneeded.
>>26332246
Here's your (You), try not to be so obvious the next time you want them, your hard work will reward itself.
>>26332426
Let's just hope we have a competent rival that gets the stronger starter
Where did you get this?
>>26332202
That blue splatter behind the HP bar reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on what it was...
I also kinda dislike that the size of the bar isn't consistent. While it's fine for casual play, in competitve it might make it hard to tell how much % left the opponent really has.
>>26332202
Looks like a mobile Monster-battler's HP bar.
It looks like it displays the HP a lot more accurately, but seems goofy as hell.
>>26333175
>trainers appear on the field giving directions
Something's telling me it's only for significant battles, eg. rival battles and gym leader battles
>>26335255
Ah, I remember now. ORAS ability prompt. The similarities just keep piling up.
>>26335320
your opponent appearing in the battle might only be for significant battles, but the player character will likely be visible in all of them
with the more detailed character models in general, all characters you battle having their model in battle could be plausible
>>26332202
I really like the slight gradient on the HP bar itself
>>26333667
How long it take you to dust off this meme? Fuck off back to /pol/ you edge lord
WHERE THE FUCK DO I FIND THIS FUCKING NEW TRAILER
REEEEEEEEEEE
>>26333175
I think they should keep the circles at least when battling on water, so there's the illusion of a battle platform for non-water pokemon. Never made any sense that when I send out my Graveler in a surfing battle it doesn't just immediately sink to its death.
I realize that's just my own autism but hey. It also bothered me that I sent my Zangoose into friggin' outer space to help me catch Deoxys.
>>26335168
They obviously will. They've always done the rival-gets-the-type-strong-against-yours thing, but since Gen V they started adding a secondary rival that takes the remaining one.
WHY IS THE FUCKING BAR UNEVEN
THIS TRIGGERS MY AUTISM
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
GAMEFREAK!!!
>>26335477
>>26335557
shhhhh
shhh its ok baby
be shhh
everything will be alright
>>26332202
very neato, the previous gens they looked practically the same, i like that they are trying to make things look different in this one
>>26332202
where's this from?
video?
It looks okay but nothing crazy. The bar could do without the paint and the background image, while nice doesnt look that far away from what we had in ORAS.
The only outstanding thing are the people now seen in the battle which is cool
>>26332202
I'm fine with it
>>26332202
>full character models in fights
Which of the following does this mean, /vp/?
>game/models have been optimized, no longer have 14k polys each
>battles will be at 5 fps
>New 3DS power will be utilized to bring it up to an acceptable framerate while old 3DS gets left at 5 fps
>>26336163
>frame rate complaining
>big enough ego to probably post his own photo as a reaction picture
Sup Pat
>>26336163
Thing is: it might be just for the important trainers like rivals, evil boss etc.
We dont know if its the same for random NPCs
>>26336207
does Pat even play Pokemon
>>26335161
My friend, their strategy worked just fine.
>>26332246
>>26332202
Not a big fan but it's not like it's a big deal since its just an HP bar. As long as it moves faster than Gen 4's HP bar it's fine.
99 percent sure that the only reason trainers are visible is because we're getting that ash-greninja bullshit where it links with the trainer or whatever. gonna enjoy sun and moon but the gimmics are going to be shit
>>26332202
The over-designed look is unnecessary. It seems a little messy.
>>26336813
I think the word you're looking for is comfy
Reminder
>and that in some battles, there will by bystanders watching the battles
>SOME
100% sure it's only for rival/gym leaders, not everyone.
>>26332728
No they just showed the screenshot
>>26336880
Well yeah sure, you think you're Gary Fucking Oak? You think you'll have a posse following you around in a car cheering you on during every Youngster Joey fight?
>>26336945
>mfw after you become Champion, a group follows you around
>every wild encounter becomes a show
Send help.
>>26332202
The turquise paint blot is a nice touch, and I really like the gradient HP bar.
I hope it'll get into yellow/orange shades when at half HP.
>>26332202
>all these anons complaining about not being able to tell exactly how much of the opponent's health is left
Do you faggots pull out a ruler to measure this shit or what? Who actually cares this much?
>>26337056
Two fuckin' words.
FALSE
SWIPE
If you're worried about that shit, pull your goddamn punches.
Looks great and wax better than the shitty Gen6 bars.
>>26332202
Why is the rival choose the pokemon that is weak to your start?
>>26337309
Because there were people who still lost starters battle at the beggining of previous gens so they make it that you play with advantage now.
>>26337056
I need to know if a pokemon is going to die this turn to status conditions or weather effects. Save PP, play it safe, which attack to use, or go all out. It all depends on whether the pokemon will die this turn or not.
>>26332246
you fucking what
>>26335501
They need to be competent. Cheren was okay, but Serena was a joke
>>26332372
maybe it's switched for japan
>>26334895
It stopped being pokemon after gen2 anon.
>>26332202
Not that it matters much, I guess I like it? Very minimalistic, doesn't distract too much from the visuals.
>>26332372
That doesn't make sense. Bigger = more HP.
>>26337309
there are two rivals
>>26337369
Because that new HP bar is so fucking difficult to read, isn't it anon?
You sound like such a flaming faggot, please stop being so autistic, if anything the new HP bar is clearer and easier to read
>>26336207
Anyone is allowed to complain about a product that costs money you doofus.
>>26335056
It actually makes more sense with elemental attacks because it better shows how rock-paper-scissors system work.
What's the point in choosing 3 elemental starters if none of them can use type corresponding elemental attack? In old gens it was like playing Pidgey vs Pidgey.
>>26332202
Are we seriously saying that someone took a screenshot of Pokenchi but didn't record it?
>>26338093
Pokenchi literally just showed that screenshot. It wasn't footage.
>>26338103
Did it show any other screenshots is what I'm trying to say
>>26332202
Also Yo-kai 3 has that HP bar
>>26338123
They're obviously trying to copy Yo-kai style. Even Starters have Yo-kai feel to it. Sad.
>>26333713
Only if you have cfw or Hans installed though, it doesn't use the extra power on its own you have to force it.
Works great though on ORAS and XY
>>26338137
The starters have a strange feel because of the color scheme of Rowlet and Litten, I think...
>>26338182
Apache Thunder has a patch for it, though if you've got A9LH / Luma then it should work if you just force the clock speed / RAM
>>26332246
>/lit/tards
>>26338123
>yokai watch got really good after the first game but wont get the spin offs or sequels because of sales and Level-5 can't ever make there first game in a series good.
Has the same "I drew this in Paint" look as the HUD in Fallout 4.
Mokuroh confirmed
>>26338560
No shit sherlock all these trademarks are real. We still have Marshadow left i think it's the 3rd legend.
I can appreciate it. Anything with at least a little bit of style is better than simple bland rectangles
>>26338572
Oh wow, a Marshadow? I didn't hear this when the trademark leaked. Okay, interesting.
>>26338598
>>26338137
The new mons doesn't really feel like Yo-kai but the HP bars look cartoony like the YW ones,but i don't think nintendo it's coping YW.
To me the new HP bar is meant to have a faux-tropical aesthetic to it. It reminds me of Crash Bandicoot more than anything.
>>26332202
Looks sexy. Would sound with it.
>>26335398
They don't look that similar. ORAS is more uniform and blocky while it looks like someone actually used a marker to scribble behind the HP bar. ORAS ability prompt is also overlayed with other colors, while this one is one solid color.
>>26332615
it looks to be thicker on the right end.
Looks radical, brah.
>>26332246
lmaonade
>>26338137
You mean the starters look like shit? That's a common thing with GF these days.
>>26338613
>>26338572
Marshadow seems extremely English compared to their Sol/Luna counterparts
>>26338613
>Marshadow
>Mars
Makes sense, everybody always ends up being wrong when they try to guess what the 3rd version/counterpart to the main duo is
>>26332246
