Why Pokémon Wind and Waves Should do Real-Time Battles

   Pokémon Wind and Waves got revealed on Pokémon's 30th anniversary and one of our biggest questions is: will Wind and Waves be turn-based or real-time battles? As much as I love the traditional Pokémon games, I want real-time battles like in Z-A! I do have reasons why we need real-time battles in Gen 10!

Pokémon Z-A's battle style Was Great but Flawed

   Pokémon Z-A's battling felt great, but it got a little old by the end of ZA. One of the main reasons is that I was expecting a very immersive gameplay, so when I first pick up the game I was "oh I have to lock on to my opponent's Pokémon!" I thought you would have to aim shots more, but I mean like locking on to your opponent's Pokémon is fine the only thing is the dodging! The dodging was not as advance as I thought it would be. I thought there would be very close moments where you are breath away from being demolished by your opponent, but there was like one or two moments where I was like dang that was close. I mean like if we got cool slomo scenes where we could do a button mashing and timing like the DK Konga game on the Game Cube!

   The moves that change the battlefield (e.g. Fire Spin) was a big letdown for me. I mean like come on there were just small damaging circles that like did practically no damage to your opponent! These moves can like never even touch your Pokémon, and this was not what I mean by better dodging! I almost never see these moves in ranked battles!

   My main point about this is that Wind and Waves can make these flaws better. Like if a tree is in the way you can burn that tree in the match or use earthquake to knock it down and make a hole! So, I believe that Winds and Waves can make this battle system better!

Why I Believe Wind and Waves Must be Real-time

   Pokémon Champions is coming out soon and the only option to battle in this game is the turn-base battles, which I'm 100% fine with. We needed a Pokémon game for just traditional Pokémon battles! Since Champions will be the game Pokémon will use for the VGC tournaments, turn-base battles served their purpose. I mean like we no longer need turn-base battles anymore if we have Champions, as long as Pokémon from Wind and Waves can connect to Champions!

   You also have to think we have had over 30 years' worth of turn-base battles and now it's real-time battle's time to shine! One reason people want turn-base battles is because of a nostalgia, and advance strategies, but if we took out the nostalgia factor and advance strategies which battle-style would we want more? Tell me in the comments!

Will We Have Real-Time Battles?

   As much as I want real-time battles, we may not get that feature in the next Pokémon. There have been leaks online saying that it will be turn-base, and you can move around like Legends Arceus. There are other leaks that say you can choose which mode you want. Real-Time or turn-base! I feel like we need the option to have both, so Pokémon can please both the turn-base fans and the real-time fans! Tell me what you think in the comments!
