About: Fear, Roar and Growl.

[Obreviate]

Well on these three attacks I can see the same effect, but do not understand the difference.
I was analyzing, thinking and decided to post here.
I asked the help of two friends. What has pokemons that have these three Abilities.

First. ( Fear of Gengar )

In this image, we see that all the animals near gengar is affected by fear.
Attack used without having selected, any pokemon.
But indifferent when it gengar "scares" him scares in general. And not just one. Their faces and mouths scare in general.

Second. ( Growl of Togetic )

Now is where the questions begin.
When used the ability growl, just a pokemon is affected. And is only affected when selected.
And the same is for Roar which I'll post below.
And that's where I do not understand. What is the difference? Between Fear, Growl and Roar?
Imagine a group of children at a party, suddenly a ferocious dog appears and begins to growl. Only one child runs away? Or all?
The meaning of the word "growl" is in the general idea, not individually.
And the same is for Gyarados.

Third. ( Roar of Gyarados )

Now imagine, Ash and his friends on a beautiful beach with their pokemons and suddenly a Gyarados appears. And starts to "scream" ROAAAARRR. Pikachu only takes a scare? and Bulbasaur? and Squirtle?and the others?

I just think that's a logical question.
The same would be if Ash and his friends were in a forest and a group of gengar appeared to scare them. Just Ash scare? Or everyone else.

As I always say: It's just an idea.

Thank you.

I think they wanted to don't make three exactly same skills, but im not sure,they can rename it, but i have no idea for new skill names. Anyway i think it will be better if it remain as it is now

Fucking facepalm, cant you understand that its a name of the attack for idiot's sake?

Read some bulbapedia and study pokemonology if you are so interested in it.

All 3 of the attacks/conditions/de-buffs (w/e you wanna call em) are supposed to scare off their foes, simple as that.

This post or opinion is better than the other one, dont you think? That way to talk is too agresive and always brings problems... We can avoid that problematic comments and be a better community. Just Saying.

Isn't Growl just an attack debuff? And doesn't Roar force a withdrawal?

 

[Maritos]

They were supposed to be different moves but are basically the same. Dunno what can be done

U Need Atack Pokes On Use Atacks Grownl And Roar

 

[Obreviate]

I understand. Just a logic reflection.

Thx's Janjos, for his advocacy on the topic.

 

[papuchi]

yeah is a cool thread. Maybe this 3 atacks must cause "panic" in all pokemons in a certain distance...like 1 square or 2 arround the pokemon who uses it

 

[Yuujin]

It's fine as it is, it would be stupid if all three of them had the same effect.
And Growl should be an ability that lowers the pokemons around yours to have lowered attack or defence.
If I'd change "Roar" then it could be some kind of "Stun" that leaves the surroundings pokemon stunned for 1-2 sec, if not then it's just fine as it is right now.
