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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

If it wasn't for you keep throwing interesting Pokémon that Ven would WANT on his team, I would have probably have my team set in stone by the time Haneal was added.

I feel like I've collected a little too many Pokemon I'd WANT on my team during the so-far-campaign, but I actually like how I can choose from a wide pool of Pokemon - it also matched Shiva's origin from a Breeder's family who are almost forced to have a wide collection of Pokemon. Some, like Cottonee, Marill, Nightshade and soon Lilith (Gothitelle, I mean), are firm members though. Oh, and Braixen. That's already five Pokemon...

No, he's not evolving. He's losing control of his psychic power!

Huuuuh, you're desirering to get a Natu for Ventus, @Lord Windos? Dabbling in Psychic Types as well? Cool. Wonder why, but of course you don't have to tell if you don't want to.

But do expect Shiva becoming kinda interested (in a positive/curious way) in his new addition to team, as this Pokemon is pure mystic. And cute. And goes well with his orangered hair.

Thats remind me: I need to find a female Kirlia to evolve in Gardevoir. Need a pokemon with teleport ability. That would be cool to be add. And to have a powerfull Psyquich and Fairy member.

The Ralts line is pretty rare, but it does exist in Creshire. They are a LOT of work to raise, though, needing constant attention and a minimum of Boxing.

Well, no, I wanted a Teleport Pokémon so that Ventus could have access to fast travel like Shiva and Nathan does with Kadabra and Kirlia, but that gave me an idea when I thought what I would trade for it (Drilbur): what if instead of being offensive/support Pokémon like it was in design, it was purely support with no offensive capabilities, but with ramped up support instead.

Enter Pacifist Natu: he can't battle with attacking moves at ALL (Bar maybe Strike and Knockdown, but those are hardly good moves to use!), but in exchange his Teleport is SUPER POWERED! Their Teleport not only has twice the range of the average Teleport , but get this: ihe can use Teleport once per hour with a one hour cool off. Together, that not only means he has essentially unlimited Teleports for a given day (24 Max, most likely 16 or slightly less in practice) AND can travel across the entire region and back again in hardly ANY time at all. I don't think I need to tell you guys how insanely useful this is, even with the limitation that Teleport has in place (Can only travel to peaceful places and not from enclosed space).

Oh, Ven won't mind the attention at all, actually, so go ahead and have Shiva focus him down!

Good luck at such a huge task! Seeing how Shiva more accidently than intentionally evolved Nathan's Ralts when we left Ginger Town and Kirlia is still a Kirlia since then, this is a task that shouldn't be taken lightly... Maybe concentrating on one thing after the other, currently Tynamo, might be a better thing to follow?

This feels even better than the fastest subway! I like that. Though, if its Teleport is boss, does that also mean we could join in that Teleporation? And would we be able to teleport to Arrowroot Village, which is not possible with the usual Teleport? There's that Nature Preserve I've been looking forward to explore...

More fae-lady and oddball-of-sociologist-content, yay! My Lilith must see that Natu.

Oh yeah, having so many pokemon makes it really interesting/difficult to manage everything.  The exp spreading means it takes longer to round out every member.  But every pokemon has its story, and I want to use every single one of them because of that.

As far as permanent members go for Nathan, Kirlia's really the only one that qualifies for that, but Swiftfire and Calam are the other two I'd planned for from the start.

I definitely want to see Zippy overcome his weaknesses eventually, though.  Prove that even the weakest pokemon can shine if given enough care and attention.  Male Combee might be the weakest pokemon in the entirety of the series a far as their potential goes, but this seems like a good opportunity for them to not be.

I can think of two uses for Pressure: 
 - the obvious prevention of your opponent using Will Points.  Only means a lot against the most experienced trainers, but anyone with only 1 Will is completely unable to fight back against a pokemon with Pressure, which is also notable.
 - vastly increasing the odds of catching pokemon with large Will scores by halving the amount of Will they can use to resist capture.  Still niche, but less so than its uses in trainer battles!

[Iron]

Teleport still only works on one trainer, but with enough time it'd be possible to move the whole party! Which isn't really feasible for Kirlia.

With a bit more practice, Natu will be able to reach Arrowroot. That's right on the edge of his/her range.
