I mean, Sylestia is it's own game, and there are even a few features which are similar to pokemon, but I don't really see how making the battle system look like pokemon would improve the game

have you seen the battle system? and how it needs improvement? have you seen how great Pokemon's battle system is? and how similar they are? i just thought that it would draw in more people because like a 50th of the population likes Pokemon maybe even more

i love pokemon but i find battles in pokemon games actually take quite a bit longer than most battles in sylestia! for one, sylestia's battles don't have animations to sit through. otherwise they aren't SO different from one another are they? you have a target or several targets... you choose your move, choose a target... and you end your turn.
are you suggesting we incorporate animations into battles? maybe because you are a newer player battles are taking a bit longer, but i assure you, it gets better! you'll be zipping around having short battles in no time! :D
again, i love pokemon, and i agree our battle system could be better, but i don't think it's necessary to revamp it in that way or that it would be a huge improvement.

you're going to have to clarify "make the battles look like pokemon" for me here.

What do you mean by it? Do you mean "have it so there are backsprites of the sylesti so it looks like pokemon gen1-5 battles" or "have it so there are battle effects" or what?

(Backsprites will never happen because, a) that would be a ton of unnecessary extra art to do for the two site petartists, b) not being able to see all of my pets in battle? nah)
(battle effects have come up before and it was pretty much a unanimous consensus among the more advanced player base that, yeah, okay, it maybe, but literally all of them would turn it off personally if it was a thing and that was an option because it would slow down the battles)

If you mean somrthing else, well, those were the only things I could think of, but SkyRaven's point stands: this isn't pokemon.

(You're lv20 and haven't been around long enough to have participated in a fest, but just so you know, regions 1 and 2 use the old Explore/battle setup (they are ancient). Region 3, the Lost Grove, and the Festival Zone battles use an updated version of the battle setup that is just generally better put together in terms of functionality (and Explore is just entirely different))

If you can't explain then how are other people to understand?
Also, if you have the infinite genetic scanner (or just use a regular one on an opponent), then you can see the HP/HP percentage of the enemy.

(just stealing an image from one of my guides (hence the orange circle, you can ignore that), image of a battle in a Festival Zone, showing the healthbar)

Yes I do know what pinging someone is, but generally the suggestion box is to add extra suggestions or show support/no support, rather than specifically informing someone of something, so I didn't think there was a need to ping - no need to be so blunt about it.

As to your other point, could you elaborate on the ideas you think should be improved? I myself am a huge fan of pokemon, and I'm sure it's *similar enough* to entice both pokemon players and those who may be new to the type of battling system that these games offer.
