Visible Health Bars Thread - Pokemon Adventures Online (DevFraccas)

A thing that I've noticed is that when walking up to a Wild Pokémon, their health bar doesn't show. Now before you notify me, I know that you see their HP when you click on a Pokémon (as seen in the Combat Video), but what I refer to is that you should be able to see a HP Bar (with HP stat percentages) above the Pokémon when you get within a certain distance of said Pokémon. This is just a suggestion, so I hope this could be added in the future. What do you think this? I'll put up a poll just in case you want to share your thoughts.

I think it would be too distractive to have all those health bars around, especially when you are fighting in the wild. Therefore I vote "No", which doesn't mean though, that I would mind having this feature as an option(only).

You do realize I said "when you get within a certain distance of the Pokemon" though, right?

I do, actually. If a group of Pokemon attacks you(as I believe that this will be a thing), distance won't matter, they are all going to be somewhat close to you. And with that feature on, there's going to be a sea of distractive health bars while you might wish to concentrate on only one Pokemon at a time.

Interesting thought!
I'd like to get a bit more feedback from the community on this and if there is a strong enough demand for it we could add it as an optional feature.

Thanks for the suggestion!

How about if you add a healthbar showing the health percentage ONLY on the Pokémon you're battling with and make it an option?

Just saying but I never saw a problem with hp bars in pokemon generations and there could have been over 5 pokemon coming at you in that game so I guess its just something fraccas has to test during the alpha releases and im sure he will be able to tell if its a hindrance on the screen or not too noticeable I vote for fraccas to decide
