I could've sworn that was possible, but I was thinking of softboiled.
A lot of that originates with field moves in gen 1 being jank as fuck, even working with limited memory/screen space.
If one wants to restore HP and doesn't want to use or doesn't have healing items for some reason, one has to get into a battle to use the heal move if it can't be used outside of battle. Meanwhile in in FFVI, one just has to select Curaga from menu to use it anytime.
Right, but Curaga still consumes a resource whereas field moves in Pokémon do not, which would already trivialize an already easy JRPG. And you would have to completely rebalance recovery moves if you want them to consume PP in the field.
Hidden power is used in competitive (and in speed running communities). It's not an all powerful tool, but it has its uses.
That's not what I meant. I meant as a tool for exploring the game world without speedrunning along the lines of flash or dig.
You mean like how Secret Power used to let you make secret bases?
I confused it for secret power apparently. Its been forever since I last attempted to make a secret base in RSE.
The advertising put hype into secret power, because it was technically a field move. You used it outside of battle to find secret bases and stuff.
God, that mechanic sucked. And they forced it down your throat in ORAS, too.
To be fair, I appreciated the secret bases more in ORAS than in regular RSE for the simple fact that Serebii(dot)net had a couple of them where they were filled with nothing but Blissey battles that could give you insane amounts of XP. At least with the internet it allowed you to use the "play/trade together" features that these games were originally intended for. Couldn't really do that in RSE if you were a loner.
Trigger's PC lets you create custom made Secret Bases from scratch if you have other RSE saves, since it imports that trainer and their team + their secret base into your game. I used the program to basically give myself EV training "gyms", altho the levels are uneven so this isn't as fun as I was hoping for. One trainer has Pokemon up to lv50, others have 30-50 levels then there is a lv70-100 legendary out of nowhere due to me picking max EV Pokemon to maximize training. I've got Pokerus too so I am absolutely set, if I have time I will check if I can make the levels more equal with what Pokemon I have. I don't want to gen or change levels of any Pokemon, otherwise I would have just done that.
I'm going to be honest: given the leaker's general behavior, I expect him to show up again after Z-A releases and shit out some behind-the-scenes stuff. After that, though, yeah it's probably over for real. He likes attention, but I don't think he'll be around long enough to share Gen 10 stuff (nor do I think he'd have the attention span to remember to do so when the time comes).
