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

[Dragonstrike]

@Spiritmon : If the old man is willing, you might want to give Clauncher the Ground type blessing if you can, as while 4X weakness to Grass sucks, immunity to Electric types does Not! If possible, everyone still talking/hearing the old man (Ventus certainly is tuning out whatever he can!) might want to check to see if having a ground typing might help their Pokémon greatly if that is the case!

Hmmm...nope, nothing Nathan has on hand seriously benefits from a second/third ground typing.  Besides, it seems a bit risky for most non-water pokemon.

(...)

Nathan makes no comments.  Just listens and takes notes.  Oh, the irony of the situation Ventus seems to have put himself in...

The irony is lost on me and Ventus. Care to enlighten us. mate?

Mostly just Ventus never being able to escape using the 'earthpower' and the other natural magics he despises so much.  And willfully, to boot.  And no, I don't need to hear a justification for why he does so.  Wouldn't really change the irony of the situation at all.

Not necessarily, as a Beartic alone is a great and strong Pokemon to have by one's side.

The Ground type would be the big draw in the trade, though (even though Beartic's only possible Ground move besides Hidden Power is Bulldoze).  Super rare typing?  Yup!  Many would be quick to call it a Delta Species (it's not, but they wouldn't know that, and they probably wouldn't believe Shiva if she insisted it wasn't.  Deltas don't have to have a different appearance from their normal versions, after all, as Holon demonstrated)

So while the Beartic is strong and such, whoever gets the Beartic will probably feel rather cheated if and when it reverts back to being pure ice type.
