"The Pokemon Stadium announcer is one of the best things this franchise ever did."

I've been studying game development recently, and when I replayed Pokemon Stadium 2 it dawned on me how complex the logic for the Announcer must've been.For those unfamiliar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npZpRnKxa9MIt was seriously impressive how they had all these sound bites for different battle situations, and created logic trees to get the feel of the battle so perfectly.At first it seems like it's just "oh, they call the names of pokemon, the names of moves... check how much damage it did... it's easy" but the logic trees to some of these lines of dialogue must've been quite specific. Especially that there's multiple lines of dialogue that can apply to similar situations so that even then it doesn't get repetitive. I love that there was some line for almost every single situation, sending in pokemon with low/high hp against pokemon with low/high hp tended to produce different lines. Pokemon that had already fought and were switched out and back in. Even just pokemon switching in and out repeatedly. The game accounted for almost every kind of battle behaviour the players might engage in and created a line of dialogue and a logic tree to reach it.Whenever I think of this game, the announcer always stands out to me for how memorable and accurate the narration was. But now I can appreciate it on a whole new level.Does anyone know if there's a video or article somewhere that details how this system was made/how it works? I would love to read it. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3oyiUNU
