RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 07-27-2017
Life on the streets and as a criminal are certainly difficult, yes. Both Reiner and Felicia could tell you as much
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 07-27-2017
That multiple Fury Swipes hit hard. Looking forward to pull off multiple autohitting Swifts in Iron's Game now. ^^
However, uhm... Speaking of Felicia, how do I say this... Am I in the position to say this at all? Does it count a constructive critique? Well, eh... It's totally your campaign and GM can do what they want and bring up what they want, but I feel things are overdone on that Persian Encounter. :/ It's shiny, speaks like a human, knows three ?-moves, has+1 Luck and hoarded loot that just awaits the player... It's overly great and a very valuable Pokemon, for sure, but it's a little too much suprises for a single Pokemon. This makes it unnatural as a random wild Encounter for my taste, shiny + one maximum two additional suprise/s would be enough. It feels more like a Plot Device than a Encounter...
Additionally, Giovanny will surely love to get another Persian. That alone would give the player who catches that wild Persian (if there were more than one, though) an overpowered benefit, which feels...well, not good.
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 07-27-2017
Personally, I quite liked the addition of Felicia. Sure, there's a lot to her, but there's a solid explanation for why she's so special in the first place (she was specially bred for being a house cat, and wasn't wild at all originally). And being the only character in the campaign so far, I appreciate the additional character interaction so this isn't just a bunch of 'go here and do this' orders.
Also, she knows FOUR ? cost moves. Punishment, Hypnosis, Amnesia, and Assist.
I would agree that she does feel a lot more like a Plot Device pokemon with how much she does, but I'm fine with that. With how hard this campaign is going to be, I'm probably going to need it.
Also, Reiner might be getting a nice benefit from bringing in such a rare Persian (who's willing to go on top of that!), but let's also keep in mind that this is his mission and nobody else's at the current point in time. And being a Team Rocket Grunt, any advantage he can get, he'll likely take. (Also, he wouldn't have even known about Felicia if Emily hadn't tipped him off about her, so there's also that)
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 07-27-2017
There's always the possibility to interact with one's own Pokemon, but this seems relucant if they already have max Loyalty + Happiness and Training Sessions aren't a real thing.
Yeah, that explanation does surely help a little. I dunno, I still don't enjoy it much, but that is just my personal taste, I guess. No harm meant!

I designed that encounter as an alternative reward/make up reward if they decided not to openly rob Emily in the beginning. I rolled for how much money he was going to get (Had to reroll a couple of time because they got ones, which is not allow to happen on auto Rare Loot drops), and he managed to get Stardust and $1900 Poke. Stardust was a low tier Rare item, if he rolled higher he could have gotten Star Pieces, Nuggest, and Large Pearls. Then I rolled a blasted 20 on the second loot item, which has a Key Stone as its first Ultra Rare Prize. Next Time he rolls a 20 on a rare, he has a chance to find a Big Nuggest for his good fortune
Persain was not intended to be a Plot device, however. Its just an idea I had when I read Assist's description, and thought to myself: Why not? I already had a backstory in mind for the cat as to how it was so special to began with, but having a way to convey it to the player while also giving them another 'partner' , so to speak was to good to pass up. The Luck Surprise was something I added to explain just why it was so deadly in her encounter to begin with, and story wise as a way to partially justify a Shiny Persain living comfortably on the streets for years, other than its honed skills of course. Besides, I want my encounter to be more fun and exerlirating that 'realistic' like Iron's campaign, since this is ment more as an experiment and happy diversion. Sorry love...
Oh, and Training Session are still a thing. Its just that , more often than not, you have much more pertinent things you need to be doing...
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 07-27-2017
Ah, no need to aplogize, now we're both sorry... I just realised that I personaly enjoy a natural feeling in Encounters like @Iron does more than experimenting for the fun. Thanks for showing me this and explaining Persian though~
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 07-27-2017
Oh my, drugging a Pokemon! I feel a little sorry for the victim - while believing this may be a whole ton of fun to casually do in an RP, never in real life!
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 07-27-2017
Forget using it as a drug. I find a mushroom enthusiast, and I instantly meet the money quota and then some! Might have to go talk with the Merchant about that...they might know who'd be particularly interested in it.
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 07-27-2017
Oh, so no drugged Pokemon. *feels a little releaved* That 25000$ from the right buyer is surely tempting, you're not wrong on this...
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Lord Windos - 07-27-2017
This isn't a battle of you versus Joey anymore. Its now a Joey versus a giant nightmare monster of a snake. Hiiiisssss....
