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

[Dragonstrike]

On a different Note, I hope the TM for Stealth Rocks comes up soon. That way Terra could have access to ALL the standard field hazards in the game! Who can say no to 1-2 Damage to your opponenets, and a chance to Poison or Badly Poison them!

Or you could try tutoring it (since Delta Pineco/Foretress know it) or spend some exp on a surprise, maybe?

I'd have to say that having access to all the hazards is probably the most appealing part of wanting to keep Delta Forretress.

[Lord Windos]

And you may not want to do a full 6-Pokemon battle anyway. They take a long time.

I do wish for a full Team battle though if okay, for the reason of INTRODUCTORY battle, please? About specifics or handicaps...that's a good idea, actually. Maybe it'd do well if we'd discuss what's possible and fine for you via PM, Windos?

Terra could hold back on all his Pokémon's Attacks until he's down to 3 Pokemon, only do 1-2 Damaging Actions per Round with them with Attacks at full STR, or we could enforce a 1 Round per Pokémon sent out, and have them just demonstrate their Moves/Fighting Prowess without the explicit purpose of Fainting one another. All those work out fine for me!

I prefer fully Evolved Pokémon for story purposes and the fact they have High XP and most have some Free Moves available to them. Forrestress is a fantastic example of the later, while Milotic is the pen-ultimate example of the former! I also don't have any Items for my Pokémon besides a Black Belt, Toxic Orb, and Silver Powder, so that is a bit of a handy cap as well.

Also, quick question Iron: Would the Kimono Girl battle a Milotic? Terra was interested in participating to see what type of 'Fighting' style he could learn and improve his own showsman ship , and I thought they would be a fitting and regal choice. If they are too big and/or scary, however, then another Pokémon would do nicely!

I like the fact they start Zap Cannon AND Self Destruct myself, and have two Free STABs available to them off the get go! They can also learned EXPLOSION! too, which would have been rather nice to have against those Scims downstairs, as the party could have chucked one or two at them to go BOOM!, then have Mamo use EQ to finish them off! Simple, easy, but very messy!

Not the last one as I feel that'll have a negative influence on gained XP from the battle, but we could battle without fainting. I'll come with details privately when the battle comes closer probably~

I do wish for a full Team battle though if okay, for the reason of INTRODUCTORY battle, please? Rarely is it reasoned to have one, and I don't wish to be left behind while everyone else might get to do a full team battle with new chara. Alright? I don't mind if it'll take long to be rolled out, that's partially a reason why I'm trying to get as much as possible/the most time-consuming activities done during the current in-game Day. About specifics or handicaps...that's a good idea, actually. Maybe it'd do well if we'd discuss what's possible and fine for you via PM, Windos?

You're welcome to do a 6v6 if that's what you want. But that means you'll be facing Milotic!

I think they would battle a Milotic just for the chance to see one in action. And none of his moves are too crazy. 
Milotic would be handicapped by the small Kimono Girl stage, -1 Dex, but the Kimono Girls give themselves so many handicaps I don't think it'd be hard for Lapis to win gracefully.

Considering that Terra REALLY doesn't care about speed and the afformentioned handcaps, I'm not too worried about Lapis having fun on stage!

Also, is it actually Raining during Nathan's and Terra's Battle, or does that only happen during the second Encounter and/or in Cress? If its the later, then I may have some Orders to change around...

(3) It's not raining at your battle.

Okie dokie!

Ick, I thought Gallade would manage to get a Full Damage Crit against Milotic, but I'm glad they didn't totally wear through all their HP in record time! Still have plenty for the next match!

If Nathan asks, Terra will give over an Antidote to treat Gallade. Suffering Poison is NOT pretty, as he could personally attest...

Very messy is an understatement.  Using that many AOEs and putting yourself at risk of getting letahally harmed is quite dangerous...

Forretress definitely has one of the stronger 0 exp movepools.  Mr. Mime also has quite a few fun tools to start with too.  Aerodactyl also says 'hi' by having Wing Attack, Iron Head, Bite, and the Elemental Fangs all from the get go.  Octillery gets all sorts of fun and funky coverage for a Water type, as does Mantine.  Absol gets tons of neat options for 0 exp as well. Salazzle gets tons of options for crippling opponents indirectly.

Discounting Stone Evolutions (and Silvally), those are the ones that stand out the most to me as particularly versatile as soon as they're evolved besides Forretress.
