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

[Lord Windos]

I wonder if Iron forget I made my turn, since it did get buried behind a lot of other posts.... Oh well, there is always tomarrow to look forward to!

To be fair, you did kinda blow that Spearow off like it was nothing.  Both literally and figuratively.  Catching a pokemon not in the dex and a drawn out double battle are much more exciting than seeing all that hard work amount to very, very little.

I agree, but given my partner choice, how else could have the battle developed? I used Corsola specifically because I wanted her to get some XP AND to make up for the loses she suffered in Wineberry on my account, and with Harden and Type Disadvantage in play, Spearow would have trouble hurting Ariel even if he landed the crit with full damage. If she feel, I would have just sent out Raphael, Charmed it then use Yawn, and just have them Metronome them into oblivion.

Worst case scenario, and I had to fight with Michael, and I could have just mainly used Strike and Evade to get damage done that way, and if it had to grind its way through two other of my 'mons, it would be greatly weakened as a result. If it wasn't, I'd be liable to call it overpowered, since creaming Pokémon that have several advantanges against it and suffer minimal loss is just plain ridiculous, if you ask me.

Ventus is not going to kill it or anything, so it could always come back for revenge as a Samurai Fearow, and that would be indeed terrifying to fight! An idea that could have made the fight more balanced was considering any attack inflicted by the sticks do Grass damage instead of Normal. That would throw Ariel and Ventus off their game for sure!
