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

[Lord Windos]

Main lineup...pfffft.  Nope, I'm trying the varied lineup approach this campaign.  A lot of pokemon I've simply never used before among some of my favorites, or would have never have even thought about using.

Sure, I have to worry loads more about how to split the exp and who to bring for each leg of the journey, but I've enjoyed the variety so far.  I don't want to completely treat this like it's one of the main series games, after all.

*Happily shrugs* To each their own, I say! I prefer having a central main line up with Pokémon Permenantly on the team (Raphael and Apsis), Regulars (Hanael), and the rest being Pokémon that can be freely swapped in and out as needed (Like Michael (with Lilith/Azrael), Lucifer (with Ao Guang/Azrael), etc.) . Keeps things nice and simple for me to manage Party, Item/TM, and XP wise, and it always ensures I have the right type coverage available! That, and every Pokémon I catch and don't want can be easily converted to profit for me and the group, unless its a favorite or future part of the team of course!

For me,  focusing on using my favorites and Pokémon I KNOW are great/unique is the way to go, rather than have a whole mess of Pokémon I have to look after and constantly renew/grow his bonds with. He and I are having a hard enough time as is making sure everyone gets the training and care they deserve, you know!
