[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Have not heard of Holon, but I'm familiar with the concept of Delta Pokémon. I learned of the genetic or forced abnormality from my time working on Genesect, which is considered a borderline case of this phenomena by me and my associates on the project, and did some follow up research to fully educate myself about it. Do you suppose that demonic  (That part was scribbled out, making it impossible to read) Houndour of yours is an example of a Delta mutation? What other information have you gathered on the topic? Oh, and of course we won't tell Shiva, that would just make things exponentially worse.

Another typed out response.

Pokedex mentioned both Holon and Delta Pokemon when I brought up Orthros's data.  According to what I found, Holon's a rather...uneventful region.  The only major events there in the past 10 years have been countless failed searches for Mew and the accidental creation and discovery of many, many different species of Delta Pokemon.  There's apparently both unnatural variants, caused by things like Holon City's electromagnetic generator or experimentation, and natural ones from a process more akin to natural selection.  I think Orthros is of the second variety, but I can't be entirely sure considering Almanac seems to have at least a small interest in Delta species.  Porygon2 found a single line mentioning them, their movepool variety, and breeding research in an electronic copy of  Almanac's book.

The strange part is that Holon's Delta species are...well, almost all of the unnatural ones eventually become part Steel type, probably due to the electromagnetic waves from the generator.  And very, very few of Holon's Deltas look significantly different compared to their normal counterparts, unlike Orthros.  Over the past 10 years, though, Delta is a term that's been used to describe any pokemon with an unusual type, so the definition of what makes a pokemon Delta is a little looser than you might expect.

Also, not sure if Genesect counts or not since there's only one variant of it in existence currently as far as we know.

Nathan's trying to subtly keep an eye on what Shiva's doing while explaining this to Ventus.  He really hoped she didn't decide to come over here to ask about what was so interesting...
