Realistic Aggressive Pokémon

By xanderindalzone
- 20 Dec 2016 04:44 #191909 A subscriber suggested me this a few days ago and i thought it could really improve the mod in terms of realism:

Some wild pokémon are aggressive and will attack you immediately, your pokémon team will defend you against these hostile wild pokémon..... but if you don't have any pokemon on your team or every pokémon is fainted, you wouldn't have any pokémon to protect you against wild aggressive pokémon, so these could do real player damage like there were hostile MINECRAFT mobs...

This would make pokémon hunting a bit more hardcore and intense, you could always add an option in the config to disable this feature if some players dont like it ;)

Not really. Considering
A) The reason you get stopped in any game where you try to enter the grass without pokemon is "Its dangerous to go out without a pokemon, you might be attacked and not be able to defend yourself"

and

B) The games force you to magically appear at a healing location (mainly poke centers) when your party is wiped. Meaning it doesnt give the possibility of wandering with no pokemon and sometimes even sends you multiple towns back without explanation of how you got there or even why you would go back 2-3 towns when there is a perfectly good PC in the last city you were in.

So in both the game and anime pokemon will attack people, weather out of anger, fear, or just innate survival instincts.

Meaning the games contradict themselves because, if having no pokemon makes it to dangerous to roam around in tall grass, how would you trek back multiple towns without any usable pokemon to get them healed? And if someone wants to argue that pokemon dont attack people, then why is everyone telling you that you need pokemon with you out in the wild? If its to dangerous to go alone, that means its dangerous to not have pokemon, and if thats the case it cant be safe enough to go back multiple towns with a full fainted party (hell even making it back to the last town can be pretty bad depending on how deep/far into the wilderness you are). And if its safe enough to travel back to other towns with no pokemon then the need for pokemon as a means of protection isnt necessary.

- 27 Dec 2016 21:08 #192306 you're thinking about this to hard... I've come up with a few dex entries that explicitly talk of specific pokemon committing slow and exceptionally painful murders though i kind of get why the team can't really make pokemon hostile to players in the mod. if they were hostile then the player would have a number of deaths for simply wandering around which obliterates a lot of what this mod seems to be encouraging. they also can't allow players to fight back or else it would be highly easy for someone to just punch the pokemon they want down to 1 hp for a far to easy capture. if this sort of thing were to be implemented, then the player would probobly need to get something they could use to ward off such pokemon in order to balance things out.

just making sure its out there
