Items to be held

[interested]

Hi, i was thinking that we should have new items, cause we have now new types of pokemon, and i suggest somethimg like the next:

fingertrap The enemy pokemon can't scape

prism boost light tipe attacks

lucky coin increases the probability to inflict a special effect.
tell me what do suggest.

[mls]

Hmm... makes me think of these possible items...

Handcuffs - The enemy pokemon cannot use punch attacks

Ball and Shackles - the enemy pokemon cannot use kicking moves

Muzzle - the enemy pokemon cannot use biting attacks.

XD

All of those are good ideas.

Did you mean to post that twice?

Anyway.. how about a move to go with this that gives the enemy your held item? Oh wait, there's an item-swapping move somewhere, isn't there.

Maybe someone logged in to her account and did it.

tanks for consider it , and about a move that may change the item held, it's a good idea, i think, because if you have an ittem that boost the attack of a pokemon, it can be usefull if the enemy is confused, for example.

[mls]

Oops! I don't know how that happened. XD

Anyway, an item swapping move would be great, especially if there were items with negative effects like handcuffs.

That's what Trick and Switcheroo are for. Ball and Chain would also be pretty powerful for Fling.

we may define certain side effects for certain items, for example, if a flying pokemon have an item like hard stone, a side effect could be that it can be affected for ground kind moves, viewing as a hard stone like a heavy item, or something else.

and about the change of items, if we consider it like the move swagger, it will boost the damage caused for itself, an example can be the change of bersek gene when confused.

[mattgcn]

We're not going to mess with old items unless it's necessary. The type-boost items are best kept balanced.

[interested]

i agree with you whit the need of new items, and i think it can be usefull to have type-boost items and stat-boost items, but i think as, like MLS says, it could be great to have items with negative effects or side effects, boosting attack but lowering defense for example.

[interested]

i have new items ideas, i will list them:

megaphone: boost sound based attacks.

ear muff: negates sound based attacks

camera: makes possible sketch any move.

what do you thing about this items?

[Tropiuslover]

Your ideas are interesting, especially the megaphone. They just need better names.

[mls]

I like your ideas, and there is nothing wrong with the name. I don't get what you are trying to say about the camera, though.

[Tropiuslover]

Camera means the same effect as the move Sketch that Smeargle has.

[interested]

actually, i was thinkink on make capabily of copy any oponent's move, on attacks like mirror move or sketch, but, due to sketch is only learned by smeargle, maybe it isn't as useful like i thinked, i think sketch must be a tutored attack, or a price.

[interested]

i have another idea, how about (if smeargle will be used) if a shiny smeargle has an item, like a shiny paint, making possible found shiny pokemons easier?

[Tropiuslover]

1. Please don't double post.
2. Not sure about the name, but the idea is creative. I wish there was an item like this.

I've always wanted something to boost the shiny encounter rate. I've never caught a shiny except for the red garados in GS. I have SEEN one on a battle CD in XD, though. It was a shiny lileep, I wanted it so bad!

Edit: Oops, I don't know why it cut me off. :/

[BonzaiRob]

This would be something for us to release as a contest prize or special event, not in the game itself.

If you want to boost the shiny encouter, and you have DP, the Pokeradar works.

i think it could be a great price, but in that case the name must be changed.
