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

[Spiritmon]

That's remind me: Caesar I might need to teach Rock Smash when got the chance. In fact, there is a couple Pokemons of mine I might need to teach

[Nylon]

Me and @Nylon agreed that we'd do a round trade to both evolve Valder's Haunter and my Kadabra to their final form in one go. With Alakazam obeying Shiva if he doesn't mess up his Insight-Check, I'm down to do that trade whenever you want to, Valder - just let me know, K?

 K.~

 I still want to wait until Haunter has another point in either happiness or loyalty b4 evolving. Looking forward to it.

Hope everyone's having nice spring weather, btw.

Do you want to teack Rock Smash to Theo and/or Mamo, @Nylon?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Wait a moment, 'Safari Cup'.... That must be a completely new battle format, we know nothing about it so far unless that it exists, and most likely is held in or near the Safari Zone/in Teazel Valley. Curious to eventually see what unique rules this Cup will hold~

Sure did

 (there aren't any negative effects, right?)

Then let it be so!

No, no negative effects. Though proper HMs are illegal to use most of the time, so keep that in mind.

Ha, and you guys were excited about the gems!

1. Corebook doesn't state the move as 'fist-based' directly, but I'm imagining a 'powerful hit' as a blow that'd be dealt with the Pokemon's fists if it's having hands. Pancham can learn the move, and I'd happily teach it to him - will it be powered up by his Iron Fist Ability or not to your discretion?

2. The Marowak me and Ventus caught can learn the move as well. If we teach it to them and then trade or sell them away alongside their held Thick Club, will that raise their value a little, decently or very much? Would it be legal to give them into other's hands with Rock Smash in their move pool at all, or would the League disapprove if they'd find out? If so, could Ventus STILL trade them away in Corsage Port?

3. Weird, only the Gen.I and Gen.IV Eeveelutions can learn Rock Smash for some reason, Eevee itself obviously can't, neither can Nucleon. A pity, it'd be cool to see an Espeon breaking a rock simply with psychic force. If I'd teach this move to my female Vaporeon however, would the Eevee-offsprings bear the gene of that move similar like these Rattata bear the Cut gene and have it in their movepool if evolved into a compatible Eeveelution, means Shiva will be able to spread the move further by giving out these Eevees to interested people? (Would....that possibly earn her a scholarship at Telperion, if such a breeding project would be League-approved?)

It's not fist-based. Some Pokemon use tails or feet.

There's nothing illegal about knowing an HM move, but they can only be used in battles against Gym Leaders and in Cups. It raises the value of the Pokemon tremendously, 1500$ each. But bear in mind you're giving access to a very powerful move, both in and out of battle, to someone who may or may not be worthy of it. Back in the old days, the League eventually clamped down on such moves when they became too widespread.
Might cause people to ask questions, too!

HM moves often breed, and always carry a recessive gene. That'd be a great scholarship program!

[Dragonstrike]

Got another important question about the Rock Smash HM, @Iron.

Is it Lethal or non-lethal?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That makes one Marowak worth 3000$ if the new owner will be informed about the Pokemon knowing Rock Smash and the restrictions of the move's usage, nice!! @Lord Windos, you heard that? C: If I remember correctly, you wanted to trade your Marowak away as well instead of keeping it.

There's an item with a specific niche usage that I wanted to discuss how it can be obtained, but I'll get to discuss it with you when it comes to the actual act of trading in-game.

HM moves often breed, and always carry a recessive gene. That'd be a great scholarship program!

That much likely means that Shiva has to start with it during the Campaign already, and will therefor constantly carry Eggs containing Eevees around, lolz. Not before actually visiting Telperion once and having discussed it in-game with a League-Official and maybe Golda, unless Shiva makes it find another male Eeveelution as the journey continues in order to be independant from the Daycare-Eevee of Golda and Wir.

My, I've bred a lot of Eevee in the official Games already, doing so in this Campaign will be a new experience. ^^

I only now saw this edit of yours, Iron. That changes things a lot, thanks for the additional info.
