Disabling battle animations.

[Boopadoopdoop]

I know this has been covered, many many times.

 

But what if you could only have the option to have them disabled for in game wild encounters and NPC battles.

 

Then have them FORCE enabled for all special encounters, and PvP. that way it wont break multiplayer battles, and Hoard encounters ect.

 

Also it would not be unfair, being everyone could disable them or enable them of their own free will. if they want to enjoy the animations, that's their choice after all!! and everyone would have access to that option.

One of the main reasons why this suggestion tends to get shot down each time is that it's not really a choice like you're making it out to be. It forces players to turn them off if they want to be efficient, thus punishing the ones who want the game to look good instead by making their grinding result in less gain. This sort of thing matters a lot in an MMO setting where you're competing against other players in every aspect of the game, not just PvP.

Not all of us are competing here. I'm honestly just playing to play.

 

Also not to mention, if everyone was competing, they'd all have the same settings regardless, so i don't see how this would effect the game in any manner. if some of us want to restrict ours self by playing with the animations on, instead of off, what big deal is it in the end? it's fair cause the option is always there to be even with everyone else if you want to be.

Already you guys have game breaking mechanics as is, when you finish a region and go to the next, sure you lose all your higher powered pokemon, but you can always take out your under-powered ones that match the new cap of the next region LOL also nothing stopping you from trading for max cap level pokemon and plowing thru the game XD

As Rache has said, turning off battle animations would have to become standard, because as long as you would not be aware that it's a thing, you would be a disadvantage compared to other players who know about this feature. You might not want to compete with others and are here just to casually play, but many of us do compete and well, it's only fair if we have the same conditions to do so.

 

That's being said, this will not happen.
