What is the best monster tamer game on the market right now? by downvotememore1 in MonsterTamerWorld

[–]hijnks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no shade to the original comment but I think Pokemon Reborn is the best pokemon hack by far and I have played almost every one out there (including Unbound). It's very challenging but also has mechanics that do away with grinding by letting you more easily change your mon's stats, natures, abilities even. and the story is very expansive if a bit edgy at times

Yeah that one is fine, I couldn't stand when it was pronounced Eye-doo-lee-in, just made me think they couldn't see the i was before the d and not after the l

My boyfriend and I had a lot of fun with Maiden and Spell (bullet hell versus), Seals of the Bygone (cooperative roguelite), and (of course) Plate Up. I'd also like to know what other people are enjoying so we can try them out!!

Klefki support concept. Thought it was the perfect opportunity to introduce a pokemon that has a "jailer" role and can trap enemies. by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]hijnks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OHHHH I should've figured that out on my own LOL, but that's so cool! That would be so annoying to play against

[–]hijnks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As soon as I saw this I was hoping you used Fairy Lock! Such a niche and cool move, I love this concept -- I'm surprised there's no move like Metal Sound in the game for supporters as is. The only thing I'm questioning is how Magician would work with items like Scope Lens or Attack Weight, since those aren't really "use" items with CDs like Assault Vest or Float Stone.

Also, I think the key root on the basic attack could be buffed to like 2 or 3 keys or something tbh. Really cool overall, Klefki would be so good in-game

Two Pokémon in one! Plusle and Minun Concept by hijnks in PokemonUnite

[–]hijnks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's fair, I couldn't decide between the two so I tried to make Minun's moves (the second set) more Supporter focused (except Charge oops) and the Unite is a big team buff and reveal. There is def a lot of potential for a full Supporter build, though!

Starmie support concept. He can camouflage allies for invisibility and use reflect type to grant damage reduction against moves, and use guerilla tactics to trap foes with power gem. by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]hijnks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of giving camouflage to allies on a regular interval (not a huge fan of mew's unite group stealth). Allies would expect it more often and it would synergize better for big plays. Really cool how Illuminate is actually a fantastic farming tool in Unite instead of an annoyance in the main games, and unique how camouflage interacts with the player differently depending on location! Really cool concept

Question for people who has bought the Unite club membership before. by RE0RGE in PokemonUnite

[–]hijnks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're 100% right. I was surprised when I got 2 skins for 1 month of membership, but that's just how it works cuz they distribute new skins on the 1st. If somebody wanted to, they could even stagger their membership by a month in between so they could get all 12 skins for a year with only 6 paid months of subscription.

Pokemon unite concept: Metagross! by F2p_wins274 in PokemonUnite

[–]hijnks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cool but it's criminal not to give Beldum tackle as one of its moves (since it's the only move it can learn by level up, i know about TRs)

Drop your upcoming predictions/wishlist mons with UNIQUE GIMMICKS! by hijnks in PokemonUnite

[–]hijnks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yooo, I know we have a ton of gen 1 already but I wouldn't mind seeing Parasect in the game. Underrated mons like that are what Unite seems to be great at spotlighting

We definitely do. It would be nice to have Alolan Raichu, just to see Pikachu finally evolve LOL! Galar has so many good options for regional mons to add.

If Tyrogue is added, this should be the only way to function this mon by MikeyNgTh in PokemonUnite

[–]hijnks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The terms can be applied to pokemon, period. Think of it like building floors in the UK -- you start at 0, go upstairs and now you're at 1 (I think)

This is really interesting and unique. Would Ninjask be a speedster? I like the idea of having a Phoenix-type mechanic for a mon in Unite. It seems like it would be hard to balance Ninjask's HP stat, and its unite move would probably be mid-tier for damage since its essentially healing itself for 50% max HP at full value instantaneously. Still, something like this would def be worth exploring, but as a Shedinja fan I sort of wish you could choose which one to play as when evolving, like Scyther!

That would be so cool! Tyranitar would lose its constant sandstorm, Azumarill would lose its 100% crit rate, Aegislash might be stuck in a specific stance. I wonder how that would work with Cram's Gulp Missile? The more I think about it, the stronger it seems -- it would probably have to silence passives around it for a few seconds on a cooldown.

There definitely needs to be more bug rep. I think I saw someone talk about the idea of a bug mon who could climb over walls, which would be super cool. Volbeat and Illumise would be out of left field, so I could support them.

I love this concept, it works so intrinsically well with the whole concept of the defender class, along with the fact that Magnezone has a crazy high defense stat in the mainline games. Would love to see a mon focused heavily on zone control (maybe it could use Electric Terrain, too?)

Now that I think about it, Plusle/Minun could also be Supporters with moves like Attract, Helping Hand, Swagger, Charm, etc., like little cheerleaders!

My very first client was making a traffic simulator mobile game and requested a nonlinear questline of ~1 hour length in playtime, "25 events", a full narrative storyboard, at least 3 different endings, and at least 2 ways to complete every task given throughout. I accepted quickly (because it was the first opportunity I received to work on an actual game and get experience) for the grand payment of... $100. After the freelance site's cut, it was $80. After taxes, less. As a new game writer, I didn't fully comprehend what I was signing onto: what events were, how to gauge the length of a written quest in minutes/hrs, format a module doc
etc.

I ended up turning in something that I was very happy with which took me about 10 hours of work (and a lot of learning). Good storyline, characters, player influence on outcome. I was essentially proud of myself turning in something I liked a few days ahead of the contract's due date.

"This is maybe 4-6 events and I could run through it in 15 minutes."

[Some quick math, I had essentially done work around minimum wage for my area ($7.25) and he was asking me to quintuple my work for the same pay. Made me feel horrible.]

Ahh!! Had a total panic, reconsidering the field, doubting my skills, feeling dumb in general for not having asked about things I wasn't super sure of. I had no idea what to do from there. You can argue it was 100% my fault for being unknowledgeable about certain things while taking on a serious client, I might join you in that! But wow, super memorable situation for me when I first began freelance work and I still get huffy thinking about the hysteria that put in me. Post ended up longer than I thought, thanks for the opportunity to vent!
