[Denied]Weather effects not affecting wild battles

[FlareBlitzz]

So, as we all know (except if you're living under a rock), we have weather effects implemented, like fog in caves, and random raining in areas (but mainly it's rain). However, there are a few cons :

• Whenever it rains, it interrupts any wild battle in that area due to the message 'Rain continutes to fall..' followed by a raining animation, and it happens EVERY turn, till it stops raining overworld.
• Not only it causes a waste of time due to the extra line and animation popping up every turn, but also unnecessary lags and freezes.

So how about make the overworld rain not affect battles, but remain just as a nice addition to the game, like fog in caves.

 

Another alternative would be to be able to disable the weather effects for speedy NPC runs and wild encounters.

 

Pros :

• Save time.
• Less lag.
• Faster runs and grinds?

Cons :

• Faster runs and grinds = more money?
• idk what else?

This would be something I would love to happen, I do a lot of grinding and the overworld weather effect just slows me down.

Just let the weather as it is. With all his benefits in wild/npc battles but WITHOUT texting pls

Just keep it the way it is. I believe the weather effects already effect the battle. See http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Weather. And this can be intressting while training a certain pokémon.

When I started playing and saw it'd rain I picked Squirtle so the rain would boost my water attacks and it worked wonderfully.

The problem with rain is in my opinion that it's far too common I'd be ok with rain if it didn't happen so often.

More like irritating since rain uses up so much time.

Than the actualy suggestion should be more focussed arround reballancing the weather timeline. Rather than a suggestion to remove the effect compleetly.

Or a feature to disable it in settings for those who wish to?

Better not remove the effect but just hide the animation. An icon should be add anyway that shows the effect of the weather. A similar indicator the status effects have.

That's incredibly lame and would look very lazy.

The rain affects aren't going to be removed from wild battles.
Some of the wilds use weather affects as part of their gimmick.

The problem with weather is that people tire from it quickly as it takes effect across an entire region rather than per route.

This is something I would personally like to see changed but it's far easier said than done.

And it's too frequent / lasts too long.

It's not/doesn't.

It just feels like it does due to it rolling across the entire region rather than a map or two.

Yeah , the rain and sandstorm are the main bugs for me.

I would agree with changes to the rain animation, but the Sandstorm for example, affects the game in battle as it does damage.

IMO I want the rain changed especially for laggy peeps x)
