initial Pokemon location in battle
Posted: 11 Aug 2021 17:59
Inspired by this post I picked up an idea I had a while ago:
Send out Pokémon at 1/3 of the distance between you and your opponent instead of inside you.
This would for one prevent you from being pushed around by your own Pokémon's hitbox, and secondly position the combatants properly in an arena setting.
I picked 1/3 because that will work mirrored for PvP and NPC Trainers, while not looking out of place against wilds. If the spot is already occupied by blocks it would instead appear on the first available block above or the closest viable block near it - whatever is easier to implement.
