Something I thought of just now. There is a Flame Orb for burn and there is a Toxic Orb for poison. So I thought there should be one for Paralysis and Frozen.
Static Orb would give you a paralysis status as soon as you attack.
Frost Orb would give you a frozen status as soon as you attack.
Possible FAQ:
Q: Are there sprites for the Static and Frost Orbs?
A: Unfortunately, there are no sprites for the Static and Frost Orbs yet. Though they may be easy to create as they are ‘small’ items. A design suggestion would be a lightning bolt on the Static Orb and a snowflake on the Frost Orb.
Q: Why a Static Orb?
A: Some pokemon such as, Teddiursa have Quick Feet, which increases speed when they have a status condition. The Static Orb can give the status condition while not affecting health as paralysis has no direct effect on HP. To some players, paralysis acts as a shield against Burn and Poison as they affect HP. Though it may be a nuisense for some due to not being able to attack occasionally, it can be easily overcome.
Q: Why a Frost Orb?
A: The frozen status seems to be a fashion among some players that hang out in town. While the sleep status is very common and popular, it has gotten old to a few players. Though the frozen status is not very useful in combat, the staff team can alter it so that it will be invulnerable to most types so it will have a value in combat.
I like the ideas, though I’m almost certain they’ll be used the same way as Flame Orbs and… Toxic Orbs(?). That’s to say, as fashion accessories. But I don’t see too much an issue with that. I still think sleep will remain the primary “Idle” action, but it’s always fun to watch a bunch of people die to Flame orbs in the square.
Whenever I did a few tricks and burned my Fire type I always thought of these two. I for one support it, not as much Frost Orb as I do Static Orb though, they could create their own thing, but it’s probably following what’s officially released. But this isn’t official either so, I guess it could be done.
I see Frost Orb entirely useless unless I’m freezing myself and using a Fire-typed Move to thaw.
Static Orb would be far more useful, mainly for a Quick Feet or Guts Pokemon. And I am one that, when bored in a Dungeon, likes to leave quickly or powerhouse my way through it. Yes, Static would have far more use than Frost which would be ‘a new trend’. In other words… Static would have use. Frost would be a joke and just for shows, like Rest which people prefer Refresh over.
I like this idea. Static Orb will be nice because then I can do Pick Up runs faster with Teddiursa.
Frost Orb won’t be of any use to me since I’m rarely in the town anyway, but I’m sure some people will bother to use it.
This is brilliant. Static orbs can be used for abilities like Quick Feet and Guts, so this extra speed or attack boost may come in great in the arena. As for Frost Orb… Nice for afk’ing i guess.
