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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

If all else fails for traveling, Terra has Angie and Genie for himself (Genie) and 2-3 other people to ride (on Angie), which in conjunction with Agility should get everyone to TV relatively quickly. Somebody would have to hoof it, but that person or persons could just Teleport to the campsite, wait for non-Teleporters to arrive there, and then everyone continues along the rest of the Route like normal.....hopefully. Sounds good, mates?

If Genie will be with Terra when leaving Cress City, I'd rejoice to fly mount on her if the desert dragon's fine with another flight!~


In the short or the long run, we all seem to have enough ways to reach that campsite without having to walk there and without burrowing a Wigglytuff from Tanuki.

I been thinking something...Let's just say there is a double battle and Viktor is first and Rose second and she use Fire Pledge and Viktor Phantom. Since Viktor no hit, he became invulnerable to Fire Pledge large scale damage. What if Viktor last action was a Charge Phantom Force? Is he become invulnerable to the residual damage of Fire Pledge, or he is protect in another dimension?

That's actually some clever thinking.


To me it sounds like the ghostly tree will not suffer the actual damage the Fire Pledge deals due to not even being there, but the residual Fire Damage each Round will still affect him?

IIRC, going off of mechanics in the games, I do think you wouldn't take any damage at the end of the Round since you aren't in range of the residual damage if you're charging PF. The fire set the battlefield aflame, but you aren't even on the battlefield.

It's kinda case by case, though.  An example of when residual damage would probably hit you at the end of the round anyways is if you use Fly/Bounce/Sky Drop in the middle of a Sandstorm or Hail.

(This is assuming Spira manages to take a peek at the eggs)

Those eggs are at the Shelter for Disobedient Pokemon in Stair City.

Spira is currently in Cress City.  Can't inquire about that strange egg IC quite yet.

We could work on getting Spira a cell phone.

@PhantomUnderYourDesk did your character have to purchase a cell phone during the game? I can't recall.

Common sense suggests Viktor would not take any damage from the residual fire, and I don't think that's a problem balance-wise either.

So, Spirit, your idea would work! He could become protected in the other dimension. 

An exception might be a contact move, like Foresight+Wrap.

Phantom, did your character have to purchase a cell phone during the game? I can't recall.

Nope, she just took her usual smartphone (do these exist in the Pokemon World??) from home with her to Chreshire. Golda and Wir got her the same model though after it's been fried within the magnetic caverns within Mount Sentry. Her Almanac can handle phone calls as well if needed.

Oh that's right, Golda got you one.

Spira, you could buy a Pokedex and that would serve as a phone, or I can come up with a price for just a phone which would be even cheaper. 

Professor Mallorn, the Oak equivalent in Creshire, will sell you a Dex for 1300$ if you tell him you're considering buying an Almanac product.

A phone would be like $700.

Thanks! I have my moments of thinking. But I have another question. About the Ability Mold Breaker. Its a ability who allow a pokemon able to hit pokemon with moves who would not normally effect him, like dragons hitting fairies, Normal in Ghosts and Ground in levitate pokemon. What if a Mold Breaker user try to hit a Pokemon in some charge move, like Fly, Dig or Phantom Force? It would still hit the pokemon or it would ultimately fail? And against pokemon with Clear Body (Metagross) or Full Metal Body (Solgaleo). Since Clear Body stop any possible change of stats in the pokemon except self reducion/Increasing. According to the rules, Clear Body pokemon can be affect by pokemon with Mold Break ability, but Full Metal Body its not even affect. But since we are not using the Bubappedia rules with great frequence I would like to take out that question.

(...) Your link doesn't work. Are you talking about the Egg things? That's already been answered - Incubators are free, and a Breeder's License is $1750.

(...) You sure? To put in short, Heart is looking to buy at least one or two Hatch Speed Incubator and two normal incubator to help protect Moltres egg and speed up the hatch of Beldum Egg. And also to buy the license to carry pokemon with him.

Wasn't it Almanac that sells those speedy Incubators? I can't renember definitelly, but there was something in that direction.

That Lisence isn't something one can just buy, that would be too easy and would offend every Professional Breeder. :C You need to pay that fee of 1750$ and pass an exam about the field of Pokemon Breeding. Shiva passed it with an almost perfect score, maybe if you like she could help out Heart on studying for it or such?

Yeah, I remember Almanac offering Speedy Incubators at the Department Store.  The catch is that the pokemon won't be as happy and loyal after it's hatched.

IIRC, the exam can also be taken at any Pokemon Center.  And Iron did also say we can all get at least a minimum score now, so if you don't care about scoring well, it essentially amounts to just purchasing the license from an OOC standpoint.
