>>57576949>How would you redesign Pokemon's combat system to make singles more interesting?the core design is simple yet efficient and don't need much tweaks
my change would be
give pokemons two innate abilities, with multiple available and learned by level just like attacks
prevent entry hazards from stacking, any new one put down replace the previous one
maybe revamp a bit priority moves
make switch moves have negative priority
all other problems come from some innate being broken (fixed with more innates for everyone) and raw stat power creep (would need a lot on mons having a stat revamp)
but more than a combat revamp pokemon need proper worldbuilding (5 houses cities arn't normal) and far better writing (it's abysmally low by rpg standards)
