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

[Dragonstrike]

There was a reference? Guess it flew right over my head like Malasia Airlines.....

Well if you want the Snivy, go for it mate, as we all know by now the appeal of having a Snake and Snake like Pokémon on your team! That, and maybe eventually you can get its HA for them, which would turn Leaf Storm into a right nasty move for them AND give them a DEX boost under the effects of Leaf Pledge! Plus, if you go after it, Ven can go after those herbs unmolested, so its a win win for the both of us!

Perhaps Ven could point out the Snivy to Nathan, and ask them to take care of it while he goes picking herbs to make medicine later?

You're a mean one...

...Mr. Grinch.

Should explain the reference Simple, but I thought it was apt.  39.5 is an oddly specific number, after all.
-----------------------------------------------
Overgrow is still quite good though, you have to admit.  Contrary makes Coil pretty useless, though, unfortunately, which is a rather big tradeoff.  So the main question is: is trading +1 Defense and Accuracy worth +2 Strength instead when by using Coil you already have +1 Strength and +1-3 power for Grass moves?  (Though it is slightly more complex than the question seems, since Contrary reverses ALL stat debuffs).  Thing with Grass Pledge is it says 'all affected', but I don't know if that includes the user (but maybe it does since Fire Pledge and Water Pledge do?).  Would be a cool combo with Grass Pledge if it did, though. And objectively make Serperior the best user of GP in pokerole, period.

Interestingly, I could also kinda turn it into a semi-theme team of sorts.  Between Gallade, Calam, Solomon, Charizard, and Serperior, that's a lot of regal/protective pokemon.

With the kind of mood everyone's in, I'm not sure how good of an idea trying to do more character interaction is.
