During the Sun and Moon demo at E3 it was shown that during battles, the moves screen now shows you which moves are (super)effective or not very effective. This is only shown after you’ve battled the Pokémon at least once before.
Do you like this addition to the moves screen? Why or why not?
I myself don’t really like it. I actually wouldn’t mind it in competitive battles, because there strategy is more important and having to remember the type weaknesses is just a hassle. In the main game however, knowing which move is (super)effective is the only challenge there really is. Imo part of the fun is picking the wrong move because you remembered the opponent’s type wrong, and learning from that.
It’s not that I’m against knowing the weaknesses, but I’d rather see a type chart you can open in the battle screen. That way you still have to do some thinking yourself. I also would’ve liked it better if it’s only shown after you’ve caught a Pokémon, instead of after just battling it once. Catching a Pokémon gives you all its info, so it makes more sense to only know its weaknesses after that.
I get that some people like this feature though, so I’m not totally against it existing. I just hope it’s optional, because it would make battling very boring for me.
Now from what I’ve seen this is a pretty controversial topic, so a gentle reminder beforehand:
Please respect each other and their opinions.
