[Laughlyn]

This needs to happen!

I suggested something simmilar long ago, and i think its a wonderful idea.
Especially for those kinda slow going days, minion battles < I need this! >

Joke on SE because every times they do an April Fools Jokes, everyone want it to happens and it the greatest ideas they came up with. Take example for the Relationship between the NPC, people still want that to happens after all this Months. Mass Effect anyone?

Unfortunately, if its an April Fools joke its pretty much guaranteed to never become a real thing.

Sadly, this. I know there's been "minion battle" enthusiasts long before this April Fool's joke came out. Now that it IS an April Fool's joke, its likelihood of ever happening just became that much slimmer...

Unfortunately I think the relationship system would never materialize simply because it would "chain their wrists" so to speak about who they could or couldn't do away with for main storyline purposes. The outrage would be loud and real if someone spent a considerable amount of time courting a NPC only for them to be "killed" or gotten rid of in some way.

Looking forward to 6 months down the line when someone is going through old dev blog posts and then comes onto the forums to make a thread 100% seriously wondering about whatever happened to this content.

Ya i agree with that, however... if they were asking if we would like this content...

my answer would be: THAL'S BALLS YES!

anyone agrees?

(Who knows, maybe enough voices of opinions would actually make it happend?)

I can't appreciate it. On one hand, simply because I've no interest in pokémon battles. On the other, elaborate jokes like this teasing us with content that would potentially be awesome, and then have nothing of it actually implemented... not a good feeling. Last year's favour system also sounded awesome... and of course it didn't happen. At all. In any way, shape or form.

Considering how many of the features hold so much hope when announced, and then turn out to be letdowns, on whatever level, I'm not at all sure we need April Fool's being taken this seriously. By the dev team, I mean.
