Made the edit! Tell me what you think, Dragonstrike!

Looks okay to me, I think. I've edited my post accordingly to match.
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Spiritmon - 12-24-2018
Finally got a moment to relax a bit, whoosh! Now to the normal schedule. *Aham*
HOLY MOTHER OF ARCEUS! That explains a lot of things! Taylor disappeared, the interest of Elders in Lucy, the thing about the Dragon Scale, everything makes sense now.
A Yatagaryu, who would know? I only figure out that now. No wonder they were so desperate. Everything makes sense now.

But have you pieced together one of the final connections yet? There's still some things that Taylor hasn't outright said herself yet, if you can believe that... ;P
Hehehe. Surprised you didn't piece together that Lucy was a Volchik earlier (or at least, she was when Reiner last saw her four years ago). Not many yellow and blue bird pokemon able to conjure lightning and Thunderstorms, after all.

It's fine. Reiner's gonna suss most of it out by the end of this.
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Lord Windos - 12-24-2018
Well, I for one am liking all the little interactions and intrigue that we've managed to create between Reiner and Taylor. How about you, mate?
Christmas Eve is my break day, so I won't be posting tonight, but I will be continuing the campaign tomorrow. Think of it as a Christmas present, if you will!

I've definitely been enjoying it. Definitely added the amount of nuance and causality that I wanted Reiner's backstory to have.
Good to know, and looking forward to it!
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 12-24-2018
So, did a little detailed notetaking on the Volchik line's moveset, and I noticed a few interesting things:
- Each time Volchik evolves, the last 3-4 moves in its level up movepool increase in exp cost. Only those 3-4, though. And Brave Bird and Hurricane become Dragon Pulse and Outrage respectively after Volchik evolves into Voltasu (though the wiki makes that pretty clear, tbh)
- The only Dragon type moves that Volchik can learn are Dragon Rage and Dragon Dance (and only through leveling, even though DD is a tutor move in Uranium)
- As we all know already, Volt Switch is an unobtainable Egg move despite being a tutorable move in Uranium. But did you know that Megahorn is 100% unobtainable, even if factoring in canon pokemon? (it's like Lucky Chant Luxi all over again...even though that move isn't missed in the games anyways, and Yata probably doesn't mind not having Megahorn, either)
- All other Egg moves in Volchik's movepool besides Air Slash can theoretically be learned through other methods...except...
- Psychic can only be learned through breeding even though the TM for it has existed since Gen 1
- Hyper Voice and Wild Charge can also only be learned through breeding despite being tutor moves, just like with Volt Switch
- Voltasu is capable of learning Draco Meteor despite not being a Dragon type. This even includes learning it via Move Tutoring, not just through leveling! (probably leftover from when Voltasu was a full fledged Dragon type instead of a Flying type, tbh. That's probably why it can also start learning more Dragon moves from various methods after evolving from Volchik)
- Voltasu can also learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact despite not being fully evolved! Volchik can't learn either of them, though. That makes Volchik a rare instance of a pokemon being unable to learn the moves while both of its evolutions can (usually, if a pokemon that can still evolve can learn them, every member of the evolution line can) [Note: the Beldum line also does this with Hyper Beam, but not Giga Impact. Pokemon that received evolutions in later generations also tend to be able to learn both moves before being fully evolved]
- The Volchik line learns Spark twice. Once at 17, once at 33.
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 12-25-2018
Hmmmm...let's see...if we were going off of base Pokerole Base HP standards and only looking at the Pokedex data for each species...
- Volchik would have 3 Base HP (less than 3 feet tall, Basic Pokemon, and able to evolve)
- Voltasu would have 5 Base HP (Stage 1 Pokemon, just over 5 feet tall)
- Yatagaryu would have 7 Base HP (Stage 2 Pokemon, just over 7 feet tall)
As a reminder for how the Pokerole writers scaled Base HP in the book:
- Basic Pokemon capable of evolving typically have 3 Base HP minimum
- Basic Pokemon that are unable to evolve and Stage 1 Pokemon typically have 4 Base HP minimum (Shedinja being a notable exception due to its gimmick)
- Stage 2 Pokemon typically have 5 Base HP minimum
- If a pokemon's height in feet is greater than the minimum Base HP guideline for its current evolutionary stage, its Base HP is equivalent to its height in feet (rounded down)
Wiki doesn't have a whole lot of info that can help determine a Disobedience score, unfortunately, other than Cameron's Yata apparently acts very 'loyal and heroic' (that could just be entirely due to how Cameron raised the dragon, though)
Oh yeah, and just outta curiosity since it might (and probably will) be relevant in the near future, @Lord Windos...what bonus effect does Volt Absorb have? And does Stormbringer have a bonus effect, or does it only summon the Thunderstorm weather (for 4 Rounds in this campaign, obviously) because the weather itself is an incredibly strong effect already?
