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

@Dragonstrike, please no 2+ Move Tutoring. That's something I've already discussed with both you and Windos at some point, and you agreed: It's the Speciality I have invented for my chara, I said that I'd like to have her follow the side-carreer of a Move Tutor (mostly because she's not much of a battler, it matches her given how she's used in handlig young Pokemon and doesn't especially train them for fights as well as the handheld Games don't allow following any other path), and eventually have 5 points in that. While it's nice to how I've opened a niche this way and inspired others, it'd just make me frown and Shiva incredibly sad (probably more than just that) when eventually being overshadowed in her own ranks. That's just nothing nice to do, she already feels less worthy than the others when she gets into the mood, there is no need to stress her even more. Not more than 2 points in that Speciality, please. Move Tutoring is still something exclusive for my taste, while it doesn't feel gamebreaking, it's something that nevertheless shouldn't be exploited too much.

Me and Windos have already agreed to cooperate on Insight+Empathy so that both of our charas don't overshadow one another/Shiva beats him in his own game - it'd steal away a characteristic trait of Ven, which just...isn't fun.

Don't worry about the + too much. That's just me being flexible. There are ZERO plans to outdo Shiva in Move Tutoring during the campaign. That should be rather obvious and doesn't need any more elaboration nor reminders.

[Spiritmon]

Well no worry about that from my side. I want make my char with a side for battles and stealth. Since Heart sometimes is the one who go forward to analyze the situation for the others, someone with stealth abilities is always a good thing.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Thank you. But if there is one thing I am good at, then it's worrying over small details. ._. No harm meant, sorry if I caused any discomfort or raised eyebrows!


Oh, eh, but I'm feeling fine to share my plans for the leveling of Stats:
4th point in Vitality for Shiva is upcoming, afterwards maxing out Insight and maybe a 4th point in Knowledge at some point, before I'll settle down on Specialities: 5 points in Move Tutoring, maybe a bit more Channel, one or two points in Lore (her lore covers different aspects), a 3rd and likely a 4th point in Nature as it's rather in-chara and I need it for particular yet important Accuracy Rolls, a 3rd point in Perform for the same reasons, maybe more Crafting and/or Intimidate when I'm feeling bold.

Nucleon
(...) Almanac is currently working on a Nucleon foster program, where a trainer pays to borrow a Nucleon, and then passes it on to recoup the fee. This program is still under development. Almanac is also working on a safe evolutionary stone for this Pokemon. (...)

Hmmmm...... This makes me wonder how high the chances are that this cool foster program - no need for a disobediant or corrupted Nuclear Type, hooray! - or the safe alternative evolutionary stone will be completed during the campaign, or to put it blunt how 'real' a Nucleon for my chara during the journey instead of post-game is? I'm counting the chances not too high though, especially if we will likely face or even defeat the Almanac due to plot-reasons, but I'm nevertheless very curious about this and would seriously think about taking this step and put the work into it shall you decide to offer me real possibilities in this case.

Obtaining an Eevee in the first place is an obstacle, but on second glance it's actually not at all for Shiva: Her Vaporeon is female. She has that Destiny Knot gifted from Nathan. She's welcome at Ginger Town's Daycare, where they have an Eevee (soon-Espeon, which she even has adviced to watch over the pasture) that...*checks in Game Thread*...has been adressed with 'it', but I'm just assuming it's male as the odds are way higher. Shiva also has these 2 points in individual Science2, which I'm handling as a skill to breed Pokemon faster and better.
So... Even if it would not be just to get a Nucleon but maybe a different Eeveelution or simply an Eevee, if I'd borrow Haziel from Ventus and teleport to Ginger Town's Daycare, paying Golda and Wir a visit, and leave Vaporeon with the Destiny Knot there, would I eventually get an Egg containing an Eevee? I know you said Breeding is a little different in Chresire --->http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...l#pid13675, but I'd count the chance for love between a Vaporeon and an Espeon rather high, with the hope to hatch an Eevee that is less mischievous and nosy than my Vaporeon is due to Daycare's Espeon being descrived as rather calm and proud.

[Iron]

Yes, breeding Vaporeon and Eevee/Espeon is very plausible! I see no obstacles.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That doesn't answer any of my sentiments on Nucleon, lolz, but as I'd like to have Shiva hatch an Eevee one way or the other, I'll look where I can fit a visit of Ginger Town's Daycare in!~ Earliest at some point during the group's in Cress City.

[Spiritmon]

And how much cost the Tms I have mentioned? I need to know to buy a few and teach my pokemon. Calm Mind or Bulk Up would preety useful for Rose.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Would be 3000$ for each that doesn't have a different price listed according to this post --> http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...2#pid34662, @Spiritmon. Whether these moves are compatible with Monferno is GM's discretion though.

I'll be posting after I get off work in about 40 minutes.  Almost time for gym battle #3!
