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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Awwwwww, these traveling Baby Pokemon would totally make Shiva's heart melt and arise a huge wanting within her to cuddle and protect them... But my intution seems to drag me towards the TM, I feel weird positive vibes similar like that *Poochyena once - please give me the opportunity for a good move on my Pokemon here, people! If it ends up one I can't find good use for, we can always talk about trades. Unless someone's very desireable to obtain that TM, then I'd possible indeed go for these Baby Pokemon to see what's up with them.

On the other hand, these Encounters seem to be made with each character in mind, it'd be naturally that Shiva would want to check on these Baby Pokemon: I think I'd rather would like to go for these for some fun RP'ing instead of loot.

I'll take the eerie grave (encounter 1)

Just so you know OOC, Mika, Nathan has a Sablenite.

Terra's also...not very fond of Sableye.

This is all OOC knowledge for now, though.  Figured it's important enough to say OOC now, though.

well, there's no cap, and I'm/he's more interested in the darkness seeping from the ground than the Sableye.

If Heart's going for the Ancient Items and Spira's checking the grave, then I think I'm going to go after the TM, tbh.  Terra is probably going to want the Medicham* if I had to guess.

I'm still undecided on if I actually want to put in the time to get a M-Sableye, tbh.  I kinda want to see someone use it eventually, though.  Mega Stones for uncommon pokemon and rarer are really hard to come by in Creshire.

@Spiritmon, are you going to dig for treasures at the campsite we saw during Sarimanok's time (Encounter No.4)? Your statement in GameThread is a tad bit vague, I only wanted to ask you for clarity on your choice to be certain.

Yes. The ancient item encounter please.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Alright, thanks! I guess we now only have to wait for Windos to stop by and give his thoughts and preference on an Encounter.

@Spiritmon, I'd recommend showing that gem to Nathan. If anyone has a chance of knowing what that is, it's the historian.



Different topic...I'm combing through various lists to see which pokemon might be compatible with Rock Tomb. Off the top of my head, though, I think Nathan's pokemon will probably benefit the most from it.
EDIT: Done. Results will be in my next post in this thread.

So, bad news about the Rock Tomb TM: there are exactly 0 pokemon in the book that learn it for (?).  And out of all the pokemon that can learn it naturally, the only pokemon in the group that can that doesn't already know the move is D-Onix.  So, that means I need to turn to the TM listing on Bulbapedia for potential TM compatibility (meaning all of them will need @Iron's approval if the TM is to be compatible).

Spoiler

Pokemon that would/might be compatible with the Rock Tomb TM in the games:
- Charmeleon
- Sandshrew
- Nidoking
- A-Geodude
- Marowak
- A-Marowak
- Rhyhorn
- Forretress
- D-Pineco and D-Forretress
- Angie the Dunsparce
- Shuckle
- Slugma
- Mudkip
- Breloom
- Hariyama
- Mawile
- Medicham (assuming Terra gets 'em)
- Sharpedo
- Spinda
- Vibrava and Flygon
- Anorith
- Kecleon
- Dusclops and Dusknoir
- Absol
- Metang
- Infernape
- Cranidos
- Bastiodon
- Riolu
- D-Hippopotas
- Gallade
- Gothitelle
- Solosis
- Eelektross
- Fraxure
- Golett
- Pancham
- Jungore

Honestly, I kinda want to keep the TM for myself because Nathan has...three Rock types that don't know any kind of STAB move yet: Cranidos, Anorith, and (assuming they're compatible because they're part Rock type) D?-Tropius.  They're the three I'm personally the most curious about concerning the TM compatibility.
