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

[Lord Windos]

I don't fully comprehend why though, as he didn't want to speak about the topic at all in the first place and in the end he indeed didn't have to, while Ventus made his point rather clear about not sharing what he knows before Nathan does. Can you shortly explain?
Hmm, it seems like Ventus prefers that the topic of Shadow Pokemon is better left forgotten, while Nathan prefers exactly the opposite.

Most likely because Shadow Pokémon and Cipher are sensitive topics for Nathan, and the fact that Ventus more or less denied them any form of agency or recourse in their conversation unless he allowed it. That, and my character own behavior during then would have been unnerving to just about anyone, so....

As for why Ven wants data about Shadow Pokémon and the knowledge surrounding them/their creation to be buried DEEPLY is mainly because he thinks the more people that are aware of this, the greater chance someone gets the bright idea to make more of them. Being an ex-criminal and a paranoid cynic, he's fairly certain some wannabe villain or Cipher would pounce on the opportunity to create essentially super weaponized Pokémon soldiers. Given how often the regions of the world have been plagued by Team Rockets groups or similar baddies ruining the social order, and you begin to see why he treats that intel as HIGHLY sensitive and dangerous to possess...
