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

[Dragonstrike]

Whoawh... People do detailed analysis over what they wish to have in their team and why, while I'm here like 'Totally fine with what I can get, regardless of how useful it may be for countering in battles - keeping the theme of rare and elusive Pokemon, currently with a focus on Fairy and Psychic Type'.

Again, Shiva's not a fighter.
As for 'Nathan helping tame the wild sides of Oblivi- and Kiricorn', a young Minicorn is on my wish-list from the very beginning. C: Help is appreciated, since he has experience with horses! But I cannot know how a small unicorn responses on him approaching. GM's call.

Well, I guess that's the main difference here between the characters.  Nathan has a clear goal in mind, and Ventus now has one that likely aligns with that goal as well, and both need to get stronger to be able to achieve them, so we need some fairly optimized teams in the long run (though I'm still keeping my options open, of course).  Shiva is mostly just along for the ride for the experience, and isn't as concerned with battling for the time being.

And yeah, that's why I mentioned that aspect with the unicorns specifically.  Likely being the most familiar with Tandorian pokemon (and that's still not saying much) as well as knowing his way around four legged steeds already, I think it makes sense that he'd help Shiva if and when she got a Minicorn.  If multiples are available, he might even try and get one for the ranch back home.  If not, maybe he'd just ask Shiva if she could breed a few for him after this adventure is over.
