Hmm.. perhaps randomized spawn points.
« on: February 16, 2010, 10:59:50 PM »
Say there is a forest, in that forest you can expect to catch anything ranging from bugs to small woodland creatures to the occasional wandering whatever, i think instead of set spawn points, randomized spawn points according to a pokemon's living habitat would be a welcome change over the habitual set spawn points of pokemon's predecessors.

I thought it was always "spawn points according to a pokemon's living habitat" ?

Maybe he thought spawn points are hard-coded spots?

Slightly, but there is little discrepancies such as like Buizel chilling by a powerplant, or like other random pokemon in locations, and you couldn't find a scyther/pinsir in a forest like in the show, I just want a little more location realism feel if you get me.

I think i get where your comin from, and i agree, seeing as all pokemon from all series are going to be implemented maybe this has been looked at and will be done more indepth than the previous games like your saying, well hopefully =p but yea, it makes sense :)

Indeed, the details would have to be worked out, but I think it's plausible.

StephenKill2, i get where ur coming from, wanting realism in the game, especially since this will be a MMORPG.

but having to run around everywhere to catch a caterpie as if it was latios or latias in pokemon emerald?

we would just lose players due to stress of trying to catch their favorite pokemon.

see where im coming from?
With my pumped up Pokemanz, I can't lose!!!

I do not see where your coming from, read the post, I said habitual randomization please try to understand my elaborations and read thoroughly before misinterpreting.

I think I know where you're going with this, but I'm still not so sure.

Give me a couple of examples please :]

You're saying like

Powerplant: Pikachu, Voltorbs, Jolteons

Forrest: Sudowodo, treeco, pinico

???

From the previous posts, I think that yes, it's like you get electric type pokemon in 'electric' areas, bug type pokemon in areas usually full of bugs, etc.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

Currently playing Pokemon XY/ORAS/Shuffle and Clash of Clans and testing out PokemonRevolutionOnline and Dragonmon Hunter....

oh. I feel like that's always been done either way.

Unless Stephenkill2 is trying to say; make it even more specific to where pokemon are put at. ?

I don't understand this thread at all. Pokemon already appear where you would expect them to in the official games...

Look, I'll elaborate. Like some of the locations where shinx was to be found were barren and contained no other electric types, or abra just chilling randomly outside of a city, which would never happen, he would most likely be in a forest because he sleeps under trees. The habitual locations overall of original pokemon games can be looked over and made to match habitual traits of pokemon , not to mention you would only find like (4 pokemon?) in one are except for a select few, ergo, I would like to see an expanded pokemon list a little better restricted to actual living patterns with a wider variety and selection.

Understandable?  :P

I never found this to be particularly an issue. Pokemon are mostly where you expect them, and why not have a few colonies which have moved to unexpected locations? It happens in the real world after all. As for only finding a few species in one patch of grass (it is normally around 8-10, which isn't really that few), there are a few reasons for it: 1) It makes the trainer travel and makes working out where to find a particular pokemon more of a challenge, 2) species tend to stick together in groups and compete with other species, meaning that it makes sense only a few can tolerate being near each other, and 3) you don't find an even distribution of a ton of different species in every similar-looking habitat, there is differentiation.
Remember, unless we say it will be included, a Team Member's speculation and ideas are still just speculation and ideas. Though it may be more likely to be included, there are no guarantees!
