First, I don't know that the thread I am gonna make is already made or not. So, I generally play on android. The app got good fixes and doesn't lack anything but two things :- 1. Battle Animation? Why can't you make app bigger in size but with animations? Many android apps have awesome animations. 2. The Ladder can be displayed on android like pc. The only way to know or watch out ranking is "!ranking" command or to ask any player who's on pc.. It will be perfect if we get ladder on android. 3. When in tournaments, there's always a problem of "invalid tier" when both players have same tiers.. either one gotta relog or get dq'ed after a time. 4. The battle factory thing is still not fixed, where you get more then one mega pokémon. 5. When you are server banned, the message doesn't comes that you are banned.. it just comes as loading, maybe this can also be fixed I mean players should know they're banned. xD 6. There should be a way to set IVs on droid too. Thank you.
For the 3 1.IMO App size low is good because it can make the average of phones laggy 3. I think they are working on this 6. You can set IVs on latest version
The other points you've mentioned mostly require fixing and/or coding stuff or are probably too troubling to code at all. But on this specific point I think it won't be possible considering that putting all the animations in the app would make it lag a lot and increase the app size in a ridiculously big amount. Just my beliefs, I think I have heard this suggestion before somewhere.
^ Being that users have issues running the app,or just simply download the apk, ad is, animations make that process 10x harder. Maybe when we find a more efficient way to implement them, sure, but as of right now, no. As for 5, I actually didn't know that. I'll look into it further.
1. For animations it isn't that simple. One could stick GIFs in there but android doesn't natively support GIFs they still run but will throw an error every frame and will slow everything down. One could use the NDK and OpenGL to animate but the app is made in the SDK and someone would have to convert all the GIFs into another format for GLS to play. 6. It is a pretty big button to miss. You can technically do it without that button too.
Those.3.points! Ladder is something that can easily be done.Maybe enter the /command to view each page of the ladder,or even a ladder table to pop up in the main chat when typed in.Easy and quick fix without the need to set in an elaborate UI of any sort.This is the second point people have been raging about for ages now. Gotta agree with the banned message though.An endless loading screen almost always gives the impression of server lag.I dont know if it had been fixed in the newer versions,and thanks if it has.If it isn't then I would very much like to see this implemented myself.Shouldn't be very time consuming to implement this quick fix. As for the battle factory sets.Am assuming it is a common issue between droid and PC,but anther thing I can get behind.Multiple megas on the same team makes BF further more luck based than it actually is. These implementations seem rather easy to add in.It would be great seeing them implemented in the upcoming versions and will be looking forward to it. Thanks. (And I get it that animation is a rather painstaking part of Pokemon.It's very understandable if the programmers altogether ditch the idea of animations,as it doesn't quite affect gameplay mechanisms in even the slightest of manner.On the other hand,it is time consuming,and older phones may very well not support fluid animations to the user's despair.) Edit : Jethalal,is that image a fake?I still can't add Iv's after installing the latest version.Playing without the desired Iv's is more or less playing with altered game mechanics. This is something that should have been implemented right at the beginning imo,and you can't really call Po a simulator when it doesn't allow custom Iv's in the first place. Am hoping it's not my phone that's acting weird.
I know this is an old thread but will there be any support for a /ladder tier command soon? PC users shouldn't need to keep been asked for who top of ladder and with what points by android players. @Fuzzysqurl @turbedi If one of you can implment a sys.ladderTop10(tier) to return an object I can easily implement a server command for it. Preferably: {"user1": 1500, "user2": 1250} format or maybe, {"user}
