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

[Lord Windos]

Is the party ready to move on, or should I roll to see which Encounters run away?

I'm ready to move on myself, Iron! Oh, and you forgot the Berry Search like we all did, mate! Wow, we sure spent a long time in Corsage....

[Iron]

Berry search will be on the next leg of the journey. This part is hunted too much by all the Corsage visitors.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh, sure you/we can move on... We already discussed what both me and Windos will do as a second Encounter of the Day.

Whoahw, Dragon, you're INDEED rather fond of recording things... But, uhm, I quite much enjoy the Corebook and the Pokemon's movesets just the way they they are. :/

[Lord Windos]

I can take them or leave them, since they don't impact my Pokémon that much anyway (Corsola gains Brine from the change, and that is just about it!).

Oh boy, you have no idea how much they love record keeping! They make an artform of it, I tell ya! I work of pure beauty, a master piece for the ages!

[Iron]

It sounded to me like Nathan was willing to do what the group did and base his decision on that. He can always flashback a bit if need be. Time for the next encounters.

[Dragonstrike]

Don't worry, Phantom. You'll get to see my character sheet eventually as well

As for how the change would affect my current (and planned) pokemon...

-well, STAB Leech Life on Grid is technically still better than Absorb, so there's that. Certainly don't want to mess with Absorb replacing Leech Life at this point.

-Disarming Voice on Ralts would have been rather nice to have earlier on (still might be since it's basically a Fairy type Swift), but Draining Kiss kinda eliminates most of the need for it. Though I still don't really get why Kirlia doesn't have it listed in the rulebook...or why that's is one of the very few ORAS moveset changes that made it into the rulebook...

-Quick Guard on Gallade is kinda meh for the most part (unsurprisingly), but Wide Guard is VERY appealing due to it working like a Protect for the entire party in pokerole. Hmmm...oh, and Aerial Ace would be a little cool too, but also rather meh since Flying coverage is incredibly redundant for Nathan's team at this point... (two fire types, 3 psychic types, and 3 bug types [two of which are also Flying type as it is] means he doesn't need a Flying for a whole lot...)

Wide Guard is probably about the only one on that list that might make a significant difference for Nathan.

Note: Shroomish misses out on a level up Toxic and Breloom misses out on Feint (not strong, but it has the same priority as Extreme Speed and breaks shields!)

Uhm, Nathan is actually free to do what he wants, because Shiva will wrap up Ven in conversation and this Training/Tutoring Session right there where they encountered Wobbuffet. No reuniting yet, a calm spot hidden away a little is perfect for these Psychic Types of mine to learn things under Ven's guidance.

Hmm, well, their is that, so I guess I'm skipping those encounters for now. I kinda want that backpack item, but since I can't do two things at once, I'll opt for quality time for Shiva. She'll tutor Raphael Nasty Plot anyway, so its not a waste! So if you want the items Dragonstrike or Valder, then go ahead!

[Iron]

I'll just make this list Encounter Slot 3 then, because Shiva wasn't actually ready to physically move on.

Go ahead and post your description of the tutoring before addressing encounter slot 3.

[Dragonstrike]

Mind if Nathan takes the backpack? I've got an idea for how he would stumble upon it
