D/P attack type changes...

[ZAKtheGeek]

How attacks are depicted in-game and elsewhere does vary.

Anyway, if they make overheat physical, then obviously they'll also have it reduce attack instead of special attack.

The Serebii article itself said that the attacks aren't determined through the Physical Contact aspect, so Overheat triggering Static means nothing.

 

[ZAKtheGeek]

No, it means the attack probably involves physical contact. This could be a determining factor in whether or not an attack ends up physical, but probably isn't the only thing considered.

 

[Marril]

Which was my point, the whole "Overheat triggers Static, therefore Overheat must be physical despite that it lowers Special Attack" is bad logic.

 

[ZAKtheGeek]

Well, I agree, but at the same time, saying that what static and the like would indicate has absolutely no bearing on this issue is rather extreme.

 

[Marril]

It's more that the "Static is triggered, therefore the attack must be physical" quasi-logic annoys me greatly. It's a bad assumption and using it as proof is very weak.

 

[ZAKtheGeek]

Yes, we've both made it clear that it's poor logic. You avoid mention of your own rash statements, of course. Fine, but no need to go around in circles anymore.

Did you even read the news, it told you how the attacks are being changed and the requirements for moves to be "Special" or "Physical."

Be sure to read the Special/Physical Split portion of the page.

Oops, this was directed at the person under my previous post. XD

Its animation in the games is a rash thing to argue by?

But, yes, best to avoid circular arguing I suppose.
