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

@Iron
Hmm, Iron, if I use damage moves on Sawsbuck is this make Heart fail in the test give to Chespin?

Was reading up on Safari Zone Trivia, and I found this little tidbit of info on Bulbapedia:

• In Pokémon Yellow, if the player tries to enter the Safari Zone with less than 500, they can enter the Safari Zone for all of their remaining money but they get a number of Safari Balls proportional to the amount paid. If they have no money, they can enter for free after multiple attempts to enter, but only receive a single Safari Ball.
  

Lol.

Hang on...didn't the encounter list also say the reward for beating Woad included an item? Did Heart not get one?

If he didn't, then he sure as heck deserves one! Oh, and let us not forget about the Amulet Coin either!

Some things to point out about Terra's mercantilism: Yes, he likes to make money, trade valuable items, and get returns on his investments, but not for simply its own sake. Rather, he likes to increase his wealth so that he can put it to good use. This of course includes upkeep for his Pokemon/improving them, but more often that if he have an excess of money after making all necessary purchases and putting a little away for a rainy day, he just gives it all away at some point, either as charity, donations, buying gifts for others, helping the needy......stuff like that.

To him, money is good, but not all encompassingly so, and that if his money is just sitting around and increasing, its less than useless. Its only when money is spent for a good cause is when it gains its full and true value, and that is especially true when money is spent on people and friends. 

At least, that is what Terra believes. That sort of belief is what ultimately makes Terra a not so good merchant, but terrific philanthropist. Which, given who he is, is only fitting.

Spirit already accounted for the Amulet Coin himself, so no worries there at least!

Fair point, and I like the amount of character it gives him.

(...) But if she herself would get a wand or such, she'll die of amazement (not literally) and not tell Ventus because poor one would get terrible headaches due to his love being a mage now.

If Shiva actually becomes a mage, or IS one, as opposed to a supernatural/magical person that heavily dwells in the arcane and Fae she is now, he'd probably break up with her, citing honestly 'Its not you, its ME,' as there is only so much Ven could tolerate/learn to accept and work with for the shake of his love. So....yeah........

Okay @Iron, maybe don't give Shiva a magic wand as if she had to choose between becoming a mage surrounded with Fairy Types and her empathic boyfriend with that captivating smile, she'd choose the latter because love is the stronger force and she wouldn't want to sacrifice a loved one by following her own desires. Her own loyal Pokemon could only comfort her moderately over a break-up with Ven. ._.

Whoo, back from the family party yesterday. Little tired from it still so I'll try to get somethin' up later. Spent 6 hrs on the road (3 hrs each way) and about 3-4 hours actually at the party.

Holy moly, you've had a fun time! Well, I'm glad for you, mate! Anything you wish to share about the party, or are you going to keep the details down low?

On a general note for you and everyone else, I'm heading out and spending my afternoon with my dad, so I won't be back for quite some time. If my second Encounter is finished before I come back, have Iron auto me doing a Fishing Encounter with the Super Rod that I can deal with later. That's all for now!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That family party sounds like lots of fun and lost of stress simultaneously, depending how one looks at it and depending how the roads are/have been. Anyway, glad that you returned well and safe, Mika!~ ^^

It doesn't sound like that would be within the spirit of the test, no.

I did forget about the item! Woad is supposed to offer you your choice of Fire, Water, or Thunder stone, @Spiritmon.
