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

[Lord Windos]

Wanted to talk about my plans for Stair City.

Since two people are confined to two encounter slots per day, I'd like to move away from that encounter slot model and sort of focus on the interesting parts.

So after this day, don't do any 'grinding.' If you want to have a battle for character development, that's perfectly fine. And Ventus and Heart should still have their battle if they wish. But just for XP, I don't want to roll out too many more of those in Stair City.

To make up for this, the Little Cup will start soon. It will take place over a few in-game days and take place in the evenings after trainers are home from work. That means the Daycare folk can still participate. Matchups happen throughout the evening, so you can also explore the city and take care of any business you need to attend.

The Little Cup is single-elimination with cash prizes, but you can find things to do around the Little Cup to earn money or interact with NPCs and stuff. There will be more to do than just watch battles.

Well, that's nice for me and Phantom to hear, since it prevents us from being perpetually being left behind for most of the day in the future! Unfortunately, I have no desire to participate in the Little Cup, due to two reasons: the basic format of the premise itself, and I don't want to end up competing against Phantom or Spirit in the fight. The vast majority of my Pokémon are fully evolved or partially so, and Ventus has no desire in this case to ask for loan Pokémon to fill out his team to participate in a tournament that heavily restricts what he can bring to the table, so he's not participating . If anything, he'll probably just tutor Abaddon, Haneal, and Lucifer everyday after work, unless he/I have other engagements that day.
