-No matter what update is being made just try to adapt. Look at it from every possible corner then bring constructive conclusion. You can't be greedy and selfish at moment like this. It would help to everyone if things are being looked into twice. As a player and battler you must adapt, improvise and overcome. Once you gain that skill, you will be able to deal with any updates made. Easy... things will come. Just be patient, reasonable and have faith. If you can't deal with those then you don't have anything to look for in battles. I know it's annoying to deal with spammers and such but don't let them break you. Your far more better then that. It's going to be worthy one day, even if it doesn't then you know you've tried to.
Can't say any better than this. Adapt, Improvise and Overcome.
I may sound childish or a fool, but I really don't mind losing battles. You can go on boost a poke all you want and all I got to do is pound it hard/continuously. Don't forget the word "Luck" in this game. Criticals come, Misses come. Don't be such thickheads. Besides, it is our fault, for bringing out the wrong poke (Arcanine/Grass poke for Dragonites and Snorlax/Normal poke for Steelix/Scizor) so that our opponent could take advantage of it. If we really love battles, we shouldn't complain, but rather seek or formulate the right solution to overcome these things. Then, share the things you discovered (or just keep it to yourself). There is nothing wrong in this developing game. It is US, who weren't able adjust, are at fault.
We can have a brainstorming here, or through other posts, on how "WE- (the players)" not "THEM-(Teck,other staff or the game)" could adapt in various updates.
Well, this is correct and wrong at the same time. I do agree that we MUST adapt to the new changes every time an update comes, but SOMETIMES things aren't what they should, I won't adapt to something others are abusing, I just can't do it, or i will end like them, cutting the little (and small) fun this battle system had before this starts happening, just like these ''pros'' spying accounts to see what you have left and what you have first, what's the point buddies ? Im seeing this from every possible corner btw. No one is complaining, Kp came here talking about this (check the main post) to do a call on the staff about what's happening, nothing is wrong with it and is what we are supposed to do as testers, many suggestions are around this topic, enough id say.
There's nothing wrong to what I said because IT is MY point of view. Each of us has their own ways. What I meant by the word "adapt" is not by imitating them, but rather "living and dealing with it." Doesn't it feel good if you beat someone who does this or that? (referring to abusing and/or spying - which I don't know if it really exist), by your own, fair way of battling? I already accepted it, that there are those guys who'd do anything to win (it is their loss, since they might not have battles again), IT is inevitable in any game. There are also those guys who are so rich, that they can buy anything that they want. These guys motivated me, I played and battled in my OWN way (not using shinies or dragon type pokes in my team) and it delights me when I beat guys who have them. This is the proof that it is indeed possible, to WIN even at a disadvantage. I take note of the starter pokes of all the players I battled (though it is impossible to predict every trainer's starter), and it really, REALLY pays off.
In KP case, it could turn out in different scenarios. Status effects are there for a reason, Dragonbreath (if he had one) has paralyze and is a spatk move, so growling does not lower its damage. He could've beat that Chari FASTER, if he hadn't stalled the fight (using Earthquake and hoping Chari would attack Flygon, could've saved time and even a win) then face the Drago, use Dragonbreath. It may take 4-6 hits to kill a Drago, but there is Paralyze and Critical, which would've forced the Drago to attack and stop the boost. If he did not do that, then I'd assume that he doesn't have a poke to tank a 4 turn boosted Drago (Agility+3DDs), and might as well why he refused to kill the Chari. So basically, there's nothing wrong with what his' opponent's done because he just took advantage of KP's and the current battle system's state, and KP just prolonged his agony. Not trying to be all mighty or great here, I'm just also seeing every possible corner.
But Really?! why waste a great amount of time for just A win?
Could've noted the guy, don't battle him anymore and find others where you could possibly have a good fight with and get a win
OR counter his strategy when a rematch comes. That way, there won't be impatience and disappointments.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm neutral here. Well, probably a little inclined to those who are annoyed with stat changing moves abusers.
The Post itself is addressed to the staff, but replies say indirectly (or directly) that it is for certain players. I am a battler, saw this post and made myself involved. Just here to express the position of both sides using my own perspective. No hate guys.
