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

[Lord Windos]

In other news, these Delta Houndour are like a big carrot dangling in front of my face.  Houndoom is one of my favorite Johto pokemon, and these Delta ones are my favorite type (psychic) on top of that...now I'm trying to think of a reason Nathan might try to catch one...

....Mate, these are borderline demonic entities. Iron even alluded to their nature when Raphael went full Sky Attack glory upon the abominable mutts. Ven would outright kill any of them before your character has a chance to catch them if the end up grouping together, so I guess this is a mute point.

Ventus and Nathan have seen very different behavior from the Houndour. Like all Pokemon, they can mean different things to different masters, or in different contexts.

I really like how Ventus has a core team of conflicting Pokemon - Arbok, who is always shown as an evil Pokemon. Lucifer, who is more Chaotic Good but named after a demon. Raphael the angel, who is a strictly good-aligned Pokemon, but who is the dreaded Fairy type.

When you play as much SMT as I do, it sort of bleeds into other gaming choices. I'm a. Chaos man myself, so to me old Louis Cypher is not such a bad guy. At the very least, he's the better option over classic YHVH...

As for the team, it just kinda ended up that way, tbh. I still like how it turned out, however!
