Hello dear community.
As the tittle says, I'm here to suggesting a way to improve our duels and to try to make it funnier. Today I've been thinking, and let's be honest, actually our duels are pratically "Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Water, Water beats Fire, Fire beats Insect, Insect beats Psychic... etc etc".
Obviously I know it must be like this, but it doesn't mean that an element must have 0 chances to beat its weakness in my opinion cuz even if we take a look in anime we can see a Pikachu beating Onix and Rhydon (Don't take it with irony please, I know Ash has a Cloned shiny mega evolved Pikachu... It was just an example!).
Anyway, in my honest opinion, an element should have always a small chance to beat its weakness, it would make duels much more funny, cuz if for example you have a team with Charizard, Kingdra, Hounchkrow, Rhyperior, Lapras and Dragonite (It's more or less my team, but that's not the reason why I'm suggesting it, is just another example) if your opponent has in his team 2 electric pokemons you will have rlly problems to beat it since you have 5 pokemons which lose to electric and only one can beat it without problems.
So, my suggestion is quite simple. I would like to see, if everyone agrees ofc, some items to improve pokemon's status.
Looking at bulbapedia I found the items we can find in Nintendo games, and I guess we could use it.
I'm talking about this:
Well, there are more, but I guess those ones would be enough.
So, each one of them would have a special effect in your pokemon, and it could something like this:
X - Attack : Gives a buff with small amount of dmg per hit in every move. Something like only +50 dmg.
X - Defense : Create and gives a buff with a small % of defense to your pokemon (more or less like defense moves give right now). Something like 0.5% defense.
X - Speed : That's quite hard for me to suggest what it could do, I guess maybe decrease a bit pokemon's coldown or something. (This one ofc with some limitations).
Dire Hit : Somehow makes your pokemon able to do critical hits.
Now, before you say it would pratically change nothing cuz I wrote small numbers to every item, I'm gonna say how I would make it work.
My suggestion to create pokemon's status consist in make pokemons having 30 free spots.
What does it means?
You can add 30 of those items to your pokemon, but not 30 of each one, you must split it as you want. For example, if you add 30 X-Attacks you can't add any other item to your pokemon. If you add 10 X-Attacks, 10 X-Defenses and 10 X-Speeds, you can't add any Dire Hit to your pokemon. I hope you understand what I mean.
Imo it would bring a lot more of strategy and intelligence to duels cuz you must be smart in the way to improve your pokemon, using 30 X-Attacks would make your pokemon gets +1.5k dmg in x1 in every move, but it would keep with 0 defense and it could be bad dueling.
With it, I also suggest to improve every single pokemon's HP to make duels longer and funnier.
I also would make those items really rare, not like you can get it easily doing quests with low lvl characters to don't make it easy to abuse.
Keep in mind every single value I used here is a suggestion, it can be changed in case of being accepted.
Well, that's all. Thanks for your time reading it and leave your opinion please ^^

Tiago.
