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

[Spiritmon]

Out of place? What you mean?

Well, they're fairly simple nicknames you've given you're tarting four pokemon, yes?  Lairon Man might sound a little forced.  (Aron also happens to have 'iron' as a root word as well)

Hmm you right. Perhaps I should think a better name. Lairon Man is really a little forced. Any ideas with names? It's must be related to metals or armors. 

I like the ring of simply 'Lairon', without the 'man'.

Neat, now I know what has been meant by 'while you have your moment with Shiva'. ^^ That came unexpected.

It was because of the sound of the word. Iron Man. Lairon Man. But it is a little forced. Besides I like to give names to Pokemon. Any idea with name Phantom?

[Dragonstrike]

I think I've got a good nickname for Skiddo! 'Yule' sounds way too good for this particular Skiddo for a lot of reasons

"Thank Arceus, Aotius, and Mutios...you're okay..."

Nathan is Tandorian?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Nope, he's a native to Chreshire but knows a little about Tandormon as the only one in the party(?). The only Pokemon from Tandor that we encountered so far in this campaign is a Comite that Shiva caught.

"Thank Arceus, Aotius, and Mutios...you're okay..."

Nathan is Tandorian?

If he was Tandorian, he wouldn't have mentioned Arceus.

Nathan's a history buff with some basic knowledge on most pokemon.  Creshire has a huge respect for pokemon, particularly legendaries.  Nathan's stems not only from his heritage, but also from his research on other regions and how they treat their pokemon.

Creshireans don't typically care much for other regions, but Nathan finds the subject fascinating.

As far as Tandorian pokemon go, he knows only the bare basics about most of them.  The Legendaries, Tracton, Baarriete line, and Corsoreef are the ones he knows the most about since they either have huge historical importance or have shown up rarely in Creshire before. (We alo had a shot at getting a Tracton earlier in the campaign, but Nathan didn't quite get it and got a Porygon instead.  The sheep rarely appear with Mareep much like you'd expect them to.)

Comite is one of the ones Nathan knows the least about. It's a space rock with psychic powers, and that's about all he knows.

So, eh, @Iron got a few questions incoming... Thanks again for taking the time. ☆


- That Nanabberry Tropius is producing... It's seemingly a very rare berry in Unova, nice. But it doesn't count as a Held Item for Tropius, does it? Part of why I aimed for that species is to have a Pokemon that can make good use of that Iron Ball Zamboni's Delibird gifted me when the party was in Ginger Town for the first time, as it knows Bestow for 0XP (Okay, Delphox gets access to Switcheroo for 0XP when evolved, but I feel relucant to take his Charcoal away). Might also need Mechanics for an Iron Ball please, as the effect in the held games is known (in short, making Flying Types and Pokemon with Leviate-ability vulnerable for Ground Type moves [how neat that the Nanabberry makes Natural Gift a Ground Type move] plus halving its Speed), but maybe you have other things in mind for that item. Doesn't have to be answered just now, as it won't be needed until Tropius trial-battles at some point in Stair City.

- Just out of curiosity since Breeding in Chreshire works a little different -->http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...l#pid13675, does a Destiny Knot has altered usage as well? Skiddo being unrequited fond of Swiftfire raised this question in me.

- Any chara-XP granted for acquirering that Snubbull?

-...[how neat that the Nanabberry makes Natural Gift a Ground Type move]...

I looked up what Natural Gift becomes in the games when using a Nanab berry to fuel it, and it makes Natural Gift a Water move there.

However, there' a chart for Nature Power in the core book too that's based on the berry's flavor.  For a ground move...the berry needs to be rather Dry in flavor.  For water, Juicy.  Hmmm...

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh right, now that you say it, that's quite interesting... The Nanab berry got claimed 'Dry and delicious' by GM, so I feel it makes more sense to make Natural Gift Ground Type than Water, just as the Corebook's chart says.

[Dragonstrike]

Alright, so here's an interesting observation.  We've got honey from the bees, Milk Drink from Skiddo (eventually), Nanab berries/fruit from Tropius...we manage to get Raphael tutored in how to use Softboiled (or pick up a Chansey), and we'll have an interesting variety of cooking ingredients!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Awww, another cooking session! Or there could be more Poffins to share with the party once enough Nanab berries are collected.
