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

[Dragonstrike]

That's a pretty good way of looking at it.  Loyal but disobedient pokemon are another major thing to consider.  Happy but disobedient pokemon probably aren't as likely to act in their trainer's best interests as a loyal one, if it comes down to one or the other being a factor.

Of course, the two stats tend not to stray to far from each other for the most part, since loyal pokemon are more often than not really happy with their trainers.

This issue came up exactly once for me so far, when Apsis felt like having some tasty artic fox.... Good thing she's my most loyal mon now, counteracting that Disobediance! Happiness has always been more of a priority for me, since Togepi evolves from the emotion, but now I want to max out Corsola's loyalty as well. After all, Corsoreef is pretty nastily...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how much damage she can do with Sharp Coral.  Unfortunate that her defenses are gonna take a hit, but Ventus's team is shaping up to be quite beastly now!

Here's the other question, though: does Ventus even know about Corsoreef being a possible evolution in Creshire?  Does he even know about it's Tandorian origins in the first place?  Another case of character vs player knowledge!

I can say that Nathan knows of Corsoreef being possible in Creshire, since he's both well read and a Creshire native. It'd be silly if he didn't.
