Is the battle system like R/B/Y/G/S/C/R/S/E or D/P/Pt/HG/SS/B/W/B2/W2?

To be specific, does each move deal physical or special damage, or is it based off type? For example, does Flame Wheel, a fire type attack, deal physical or special damage? I'm curious because the answer affects what natures I'll be aiming for.

Each move has potentially 3 attack "types".
- Physical attack (standard physical damage, mitigated by defence)
- Special attack (standard elemental damage, mitigated by special defence)
- Other (other "non-damaging" attacks that don't fit in the above categories, such as sleep, paralysis, negative effects, self-buffs, etc., etc., etc.)

I know what the attack types are, I'm just curious if Pokemon3D uses the method, or if uses the classic damage formula where all fire type attacks deal Special damage. I'm going to assume your post basically implies that Pokemon3D uses the modern system :3

 

[Davey]

It does. I've seen that EVs are supposed to be fully implemented, so I'd say this is too.

Edit: Yes it does. At least according to the Wiki. Gust and Wing Attack would be proof of this. Gust is listed as Flying [Special] and Wing Attack is listed as Flying [Physical]

Alright, good to know Well, instead of making another topic, does Pokemon3D only incorporate the first 2 generations of pokemon at the moment? And if so, are other generations planned on being added eventually?

 

[Davey]

It's basically modelled off of Gold/Silver at the moment. I'm not sure what the major plan is, but initially I would say they are gonna complete Johto then Kanto. I would love them to incorporate all regions into the game, but then in the same light, it would break the Generation 2 feel, which is why I love this game so much.

I wonder if it would be possible to compartmentalize the game.. i.e. "New Game" -> Generation 1, 2, 3, "who cares, any/all!", etc. I guess that'd mess with online version though.

With community Modding though, I'm sure other players will eventually create the other regions, if they are not in the process of it already.
