I got a guide claiming that paralysis didn't stop Gloom or Weepinbell because they didn't need to move to attack.

But it's based on the players FIERY SPIRIT and THE STRENGTH OF THEIR BOND with their pokemon. Clearly BURST Digivolution.

I'm pretty sure that we can't call it that unless we punch out a giant Pokemon before activating it.

It would be, I agree, but this was about seven years before Abilities became a game mechanic. That said, I would like to see that become a real part of paralysis: special attacks are unaffected while physical attacks are much more frequently stopped. To make up for that, we could give, say, poison the same effect for special attacks.

make it so sleep leaves you with 1 pp per move (fatigue), and poison halves hp (too similar to burn at the moment)

Swagger+Foul Play is like the only combo NPC trainees have to maybe gently caress up a PC though hah.

Hard Mode as a thing would be nice to see in Pokemon games even if you had to beat it once to unlock the difficulty. b/w/b2/w2 implemented it poorly though

though i guess they probably consider the rematch stuff to be that already

no, freeze has a 20% chance to wear off every turn rather than a set turn limit. it can be devastating, or it can be as short as a one-round sleep.

I never understood why frozen status didn't just last for, like, a guaranteed 5 turns or something. There has to be some sort of compromise between never ending on its own and a 1/5 chance it fades instantly.

5 turns of "you cannot attack" is awful. At least sleep has several moves and abilities based around it along with paralysis.

I'm liking that "use moves randomly" call it berserk or frenzy or something and have it act like an overleveled pokemon.
