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

[Dragonstrike]

Hm...I dont know. Alola Graveler is cool but...Argh the evolution its not very cool or interesting to me. As much Rock/Eletric its a cool combination of typings. Maybe I could give Riolu to Terra since Windos show interest in that Pokemon and get A-Graveler. For Character reasons, I think both Riolu and Terra would have a better synergy. I will try something.

I definitely think it'd make sense for Heart to grab that A-Geodude. Collector and all that, right? Rock/Electric is also a very good offensive typing. I was actually considering requesting A-Geodude at an earlier point in the game to help with Flying types, but figured it'd be too rare to be practical, so I ended up with Grid instead. And I'm still happy with that, so I'm not particularly wanting for an A-Geodude now. (not that I'd mind collecting more pokemon that are interesting in some way )

Why not grab the Beldum to make that Metatang? Unless using them in the fusion would make the Metang a dumbo, or something. Still, A Grave is an awesome Pokémon, especially if it has Galvanate! Can anyone say STAB Explosion or Return (Which only costs $1000 Poke in Stair, if I remember correct!)? Hehehe....

Heart already has a second Beldum of his own, so this would be the 4th Beldum the party has obtained.  I'm not gonna lie, having a fast Metang might be kinda cool for Nathan.  And even if Metang ends up a little dimmer for it, Nathan would probably be fine with that.  Though he'd probably ask his current Beldum if it wanted to evolve in that manner, too...

Good ol' Galvanize!  Aka, Energizate with a different name.  However, it's a HA, so it might take some exp to get.  Magnet Pull and Sturdy are both pretty good too, though.

I'm honestly more curious about how A-Exeggutor would be adapted without the inclusion of its signature move, though...would it just learn Dragon PUlse instead of Dragon Hammer?

Yup, Return is only $1000 in Stair City's Department Store because it's reeeaaaallly hard to get the most out of it and it's usually terrible against Steel types as a result.  Nobody uses Normal type moves against Dagny.  Lol.  And not only STAB, but Galvanize also gives those Normal moves +1 damage dice too, so...ow.



I'm also...very surprised that Alolan pokemon are starting to crop up now in rather unique ways, tbh.

Ah. Well then, luckily her Pokemon didn't suffer any lethal damage, as if one of them did she'd indeed refuse to ever enter a battle against again out of sheer worry to relive such a black memory. I don't wish to outright give up a future rematch because of that, but to not act out of chara there'll probably be no friendship between white Vulpix and Basteele anymore because of the fear to bring a Pokemon she holds dear towards that steel bug. :C I'm sorry, can't nor want to risk it.

Finding other and more ways to bond aside from battles sounds like a fine idea, maybe a proper meeting between Shiva and Genie/Milotic can happen to a better time and more positive circumstances?

Basteele going be both sad an angry because of that (sad that she can't be friends with A-V, and angry at Shiva for being the reason for that impossibility), but Terra would perfectly be understanding and accepting of the two not interacting.

Considering that Genie is out and about, Shiva can always ask about them and Mikey/Michael (After you send off your orders, though!).

Maybe explaining to Terra once that she's already biased with Explosions due to Plusle suffering lethal damage near the start of the journey and encountering a Pineco on the way too Arrowroot Village that would fall to the ground and explode right there where she and Tandal were standing would help him accepting it? Way later though, yet she and Terra aren't close enough for her to share bad memories to him. If things develop into a positive direction though, it'd be a thing.

Don't feel like asking a lot about them right now, but she'll probably react in a way, especially to Genie! :> Will get to type things up in GameThread then.

Hmm, looking to that side, I think its not a bad idea. A Alola Geodude would be something different and cool to have. And if that Geodude have Galvanize, even better...

Okay then! I will take a look in that Geodude then after I deal with Riolu.

….Dragonstrike, why did you have Nathan reveal he had a HM to a person that is closely affliated with the League? That's just begging for it to be taken away, imo. That, and spoiling the surprise of other members in the group having HM Moves is not cool, mate. I wasn't planning on having Terra use the move if Mikey participated, but now I definitely won't use it since you revealed that tactical piece of info...

He'd accept her disdain for Basteele regardless of explaination. After all, Explosions are a very scary thing, as he said, so not being around a living ball of C4 is certainly reasonable AND understandable, even to a thick headed bloke such as him!

Eagerly awaiting the post and Orders, dear!

@Dragonstrike

*SIGH* I prefer to avoid say anything since I already have enough conflicts between us. But did you really think its a good idea to show to someone related to the League we have the HM Rock Smash? This should be a group decision. And here you are deciding that. AGAIN.

Its just not fair man. Not even a bit.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Just edit out that we others have Rock Smash and could use it in a match against Tanuki please in order to be fair. I'm still thinking about which Pokemon to use and don't know whether a Rock Smasher will face her, Chuckles has priority.

Sorry, but I agree 100% with Spiritmon here. Even if Tanuki doesn't take it away, she'll know its existence and general location, which is not exactly ideal if the League begins to inquire about it. I thought it was agreed we'd all keep it secret together, you know?

[Dragonstrike]

...alright, fine.

Edit: Done.

[Lord Windos]

...alright, fine.

Edit: Done.

Thank you, mate. Cloak and dagger sort of stuff may not be Nathan's cup of tea, nor keeping an epic story from someone he admires,  but its for the best we keep knowledge of the HMs a closely guarded secret. Heck, that's what Nathan's dad ended up doing with HM Fly by leaving it in the Preserve and refusing to cough up any answers on it, so why not follow his example?
