Poison isn't Dramatic? (No rushing to PokeCenters)

[snoe]

I realized that when my Phanpy was poisoned, there was no epic race against the clock to get to the PokeCenter.

There wasn't any noise
There wasn't any screen flashing
and my Phanpy didn't lose HP

Is the poison overworld affect just not implemented yet or what?
Some clarification would be welcome

In the V generation of Pokemon, the poison damage outside battle was eliminated. So, this isn't a bug

awww what?!

that was the funnest part about the whole status affect :/

Gen 5 is for wusses... -_-

Poison and Nuzlockes were a terrifying combination...

I always thought it was strange that Poison did damage outside of battle while the Burn status did not.

It added to the challenge of raising pokemon​

and it made training in the wild or far from a town more exciting​
