[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Iron]

Kind of cool that one well-placed TM or egg move could have a huge impact on a chain of move-tutored Pokemon.

Earthquake is one I think I'd like to reserve to be UNtutorable. It's often the last TM you get in the game, and it's awesome, and it deserves to be hard-won.

I have no problems with that! I wonder how far along we get that and the TM for Focus Punch, though...

Assuming Focus Punch is an available TM.  It lost its TM status, much like Drain Punch, in gen 5.  Hence why Shroomish could learn it via breeding...along with other punching moves...

No kidding.  Semi-fast learning of powerful and diverse moves is going to be much appreciated.

So, has everyone already taken their second encounter by now? Shiva fought that mean kitty and analyzed Double Team/chewed the fat with Nathan, while he got Kirlia checked up, meditated with them, and then finally taught the young Psychic the frighteningly strong move Calm Mind. The only reason I ask this is because Ventus is snoozing until the next day begins, so I don't have much to do unless you decide to haunt Ventus' dreams or something....

[Dragonstrike]

Yeah, nearly done with the conversation with Shiva. Those two questions are the last ones Nathan has for Shiva for now. Once those are answered, we can move on to whatever encounter slot 3 is.

[Iron]

You guys have cleared out all the rare and dangerous Pokemon in this area, as evidenced by Fennekin and Apsis' scouting, and Kirlia's powers. So you can roleplay a multi-day break if you like.

On the third night total you will regain a Will point.

So nothing planned for day 3 (as far as we need to know, anyways)? Hmmm...maybe it'll be time for Michael's gauntlet training after the conversation with Shiva is done, then...Nathan might put in a training session for Grid and company as well before day 2 of the camping ends...

Considering Michael still only knows Absorb, I don't think PMs are going to be necessary for that either. In fact, I could just give an order for each of my pokemon, watch the carnage ensue in a single post, ???, then profit. Gotta love efficiency.

Well, Michael can still use Strike and Knock Down too, if its facing an opponent where its Grass STAB does zlitch. Besides that, I can just have Iron auto my mushroom for the most part, so that would work quite well just doing the whole Guantlet in one or two posts!

[Iron]

Fine with me. Just post the conditions where you'd want something else to happen aside from Absorbing.

[Dragonstrike]

How many pokemon do you think would be reasonable for Michael to face across the span of the entire day, @Iron? We do have to account for the time it takes to heal in between fights, after all. (and things could happen in-between each part too if we want to add a little more flavor to the day)
