HP: Difference between revisions

Up to at least Generation 5, the speed of the HP bar is dependent on a Pokemon's HP. Its relation to HP is different per generation, but the speed is noticeably different between Pokemon with high and low HP stats. The exact mechanics of HP bar speed are unfortunately not well researched, but there has been some done in [[List_of_glitches_(Generation_II)#HP_bar_animation|Generation 2]] by Crystal_ and in [//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giqb514NgoE Generation 4] by gigalh128. Most of the reason why the HP bar feels slow in generation 4 is because it depletes 1 HP for every 2 frames at 60 FPS (except for the first HP lost, which only takes 1 frame) for Pokemon with more HP than the number of pixels in the HP bar. This leads to Pokemon like Blissey taking over 20 seconds to KO from full health at high levels.
