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

[Lord Windos]

Guys, I may be a little late saying this, but no snipping please, especially not about something THAT old and non relevant right now. If Nathan cracks under pressure AGAIN in the future, though, it could be brought up, but ONLY if its appropriate. At least, that is my two cents on the matter, take them or don't.

As for Heart just calling it quits, I actually agree and respect his decision, as besides getting Toxic Spikes out those first two Rounds were almost a total wash. Spinda wailed on Nido HARD, while he could hardly dent them even with Double Kick, which if they hit average damage would have at least taken off a half its HP, so it was a bad, lopsided start for Heart overall. If he had continued, he would have a heck of a time wrestling momentum back from Tanuki and that drunken bear, so just leaving the battle and retrying at another point in time for a better start/Pokémon and moves that can undermine her more is quite smart. Only downside I can see is that the rest of the team she'll use against you is still mostly unknown, but hey, thems the breaks.

I have an question, though: Is it possible for Ventus to use Poke to pay/bribe people to blab about a Gym Leader/Other Important Figure, or do similar? If so, would the info you get and how detailed/broad it is range based on the wealth exchange? The reason I ask is that one of my character's traits is knowning how to play the information/connection game, and gathering data about a given subject before engaging in further research/deeper analysis is practically what he does for a living. If nothing else, it be a good way for Ven to start hunting for more contacts that are not from his trainer battlers/meetings with Gym Leaders.
