[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Spiritmon]

Its been three days...And you didnt answer my question @Dragonstrike.

[Dragonstrike]

Posting will be tomorrow.  Wasn't in the right headspace yesterday due to being tired and hangry.  And work's keeping me a little too busy today.

[Dragonstrike]

I forgot to ask Dragonstrike: How much it cost to unlink a link move and then link again? Just in case I decide to unlink Quick Attack+Shadow Punch with other combinations. Not now obviously since I been enjoying this combo so far. Just in case.

Linking two moves together costs 500 Poké at Hawlucha's Slam School.  Unlinking them is free.

The Link Box item can also be expended to link or delink moves with no monetary cost if you happen to obtain one.

A pokemon can only have two moves linked at a time since using linked moves expends more energy than usual, resulting in getting hungry more frequently.

I follow Pokemon Infinite Fusion on Discord and they are considering adding Sableye to the game, this is an art I made of a potential fusion between it and Spiritomb. All MS Paint and mouse pad. My art skills definitely still haven't gotten any better, but it is more or less the mental image I had.

I have been thinking about how Karen would react to Team Charm should they appear in-game, the simple version: she would have a role model in Gardevoir

Kogeki and Daxter attempt to grab 3 items each!  Every time an item is grabbed without triggering a trap, the odds of triggering a trap go up.  Every time a trap is triggered though, the odds reset and the chance of triggering another trap decreases (there's only so many traps in the room, after all).  By splitting the work and grabbing items simultaneously, everyone has the same odds of triggering traps, but can gather the items more quickly.

Kogeki's Foresight:
(5)(5)(2)(4) 3 Successes!

First item for each team is free!  There's at least one item within arm's reach of both teams, so there's little risk for grabbing them.  Getting greedy and wanting more than one item per team is where the fun begins though...

Second item: normal trap triggering odds for Daxter (4 or less), but Kogeki can avoid triggering one trap by using his tracking abilities to carefully spot an area that the wild pokemon have been specifically avoiding.  They seem to instinctively know where the traps are even though they can't see them...

(-) Kogeki's Foresight lets him dodge one trap!
(1) Daxter triggers a trap and takes 1 damage!

Third item: a trap has been triggered, so the odds of triggering another one have gone down.  It is now 3 or less to trigger.

(5) Kogeki does not trigger a trap
(3) Daxter triggers another trap and takes 1 damage!

Daxter is battered by sudden bursts of prickly, barbed seeds no matter where he tries to stand.  It's in rather stark contrast to Kogeki expertly dodging every single trap in the room.

Kogeki years of ninja training finally pay off ;-;
They all said it was madness. Who is laughting now HUH?!

Jokes aside, I got luck this time xD
Foresight+Quick Attack is awesome!

Oooh! Freaky design, but that's all too appropriete for such a double spooky and synergistic fusion! 

Nice! My old PC Pyra would probably find more inspiration and look to guidance from Gengar of OG PMD fame, considering all they went through on their new lease of life, but now in days they're pretty much dependent on Marcus for moral guidance/acting lessons . Speaking of him, the groups should probably pay him a visit to check on how he's doing, since in game it has probably been awhile since they talked.

Platina, on the other hand, has no teams to look up to, since she lived a rather sheltered life before deciding on becoming an Adventurer. That, and it'd be hard for her be more amazed by anyone other than her own teammates since they're human turned Pokemon, of which she is a, uh....well, let's just say she's fairly passionate about the subject. Only thing keeping her from expressing it is the mission itself, so expect her to begin pestering the group for DETAILS after all is said and done (even Kee won't be immune to such things, no matter how much his behavior can grate on her!).

Speaking of characters, does anyone have anything planned with Platina? 'Cause I'm probably want her to get to know Karen and Dax a bit more now that they've somehow intertwined with her group again. She's still rather curious about WHY Team OS fractured in the first place too, after all. Maybe she'd also nag Kee about his behavior and congratulate Kogeki on his own again, while she's at it...

I do miss Pyra quite a lot sometimes...Wish we could have more time to interact with her...But I also like Platina. Her energy is quite comfortable to give everyone quite a lot of positive energy. I do miss Pyra antics and to be a more grey character. Pyra and Kogeki kinda had a really good chemistry in my opinion in terms of grey area of persona and friendship. But where a door close another one opens, so I curious to see future interactions with her. Specially in terms of kinda of rivalry. But in a health way to grown and become stronger person/pokemon.

Speaking of which in answer your question about anything planned for Platina: Problably Kogeki would try to learn more about her, since he respect her, however, he wants to learn more about her. Maybe even be willing to train together with her, since she is quick. Really really quick in her strikes. So maybe Platina and Kogeki could learn a lot with each other techniques, and have a health rivalry. Since she is more leaned to act together with everyone while Kogeki is more focus in (sometimes) try to act alone. He is not a complete lone wolf, since this is a team game, and be a lone wolf player often end up badly (and trust me, I see that happens a LOT in campaighs). Not to mentioned a solo player in a team campaigh is sufferable to the dm.

One of my goals with Platina was to create a more Positive character that was more acceptably quirky (and less of a contentious amoral disaster) , so I'm rather happy that I've succeeded so far! Be warned that the shiny bird isn't always so polite and chipper - Kee has learnt she can get feisty if riled up, and she has little patience for disrespect, idiocy, or things not going as expected/her way. Circumstances have just been conducive for her keeping herself together and professional - once things have relaxed you can expect her natural haughtiness and bossiness to go up, though hopefully her ego will be cute instead of frustrating to deal with. That, and the inevitable cavalcade of questions she'll have about the group's HUMAN origin - believe you me she will have a BUNCH of those for you guys!

Hmm....well, she respects and is impressed with Kogeki at the moment, so I would say she'd be open to such discussions and ventures! Don't push her too hard, though, or she might snap at you! Be sure to bring up the spooky shinobi's habits of sucking souls up sooner or later in private, though, as I rather her not be badly surprised and prejudiced against it from the get go from him doing it randomly. Rivarly is likely not going to be on the table with Platina, though - she views such things as irrelevant at best and annoyances at worst, and would much rather everyone treat each other equally and politely. Friendly partnership is the way to go with her right now, me thinks!

Yeah, I learnt from experience that going lone wolf in a campaign usually ends up with the DM finding ways to re-railed you back to the group, sometimes violently. I still remember Ven nearly getting blown to hell underneath Mt. Sentry due to his intense desire to find that Shedninja....

@no one

*checks notes* If I'm right, Karen's best recruitment roll is Cute/Empathy

Cute (3)+Contest (3)+Empathy (2) (8D6)

With the way I plan to build her, this will continue to be her best recruitment method.

So until Team Night Wardens gets more NPC members that can recruit in other ways, she can be the main recruiter.

I mean, she has convinced a Pokemon that aced its will roll to join her before. Whether or not she can immediately remember that little nugget IC or not is a different story...

[Spiritmon]

Hmm...I dont think I have anything to send via statue or take anything. At the moment I holding a few things:

A kunai
Kogeki scarf
And a aventure bag.

And if I not mistaken, I can carry up to 5 more items in the adventure bag. Right now I have:

Geo Pebble (1)
Apple (1)
Heal Seed (1)
Revive Seed (1)
Oran Berry (1)

Maybe I could send a Geo Pebble and get a Gravel Rock. This could be useful more since in mechanics Geo and Gravel have the same effect, but Gravel can deal more damage.
