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

[Iron]

Ha, and you guys were excited about the gems!

1. Corebook doesn't state the move as 'fist-based' directly, but I'm imagining a 'powerful hit' as a blow that'd be dealt with the Pokemon's fists if it's having hands. Pancham can learn the move, and I'd happily teach it to him - will it be powered up by his Iron Fist Ability or not to your discretion?

2. The Marowak me and Ventus caught can learn the move as well. If we teach it to them and then trade or sell them away alongside their held Thick Club, will that raise their value a little, decently or very much? Would it be legal to give them into other's hands with Rock Smash in their move pool at all, or would the League disapprove if they'd find out? If so, could Ventus STILL trade them away in Corsage Port?

3. Weird, only the Gen.I and Gen.IV Eeveelutions can learn Rock Smash for some reason, Eevee itself obviously can't, neither can Nucleon. A pity, it'd be cool to see an Espeon breaking a rock simply with psychic force. If I'd teach this move to my female Vaporeon however, would the Eevee-offsprings bear the gene of that move similar like these Rattata bear the Cut gene and have it in their movepool if evolved into a compatible Eeveelution, means Shiva will be able to spread the move further by giving out these Eevees to interested people? (Would....that possibly earn her a scholarship at Telperion, if such a breeding project would be League-approved?)

It's not fist-based. Some Pokemon use tails or feet.

There's nothing illegal about knowing an HM move, but they can only be used in battles against Gym Leaders and in Cups. It raises the value of the Pokemon tremendously, 1500$ each. But bear in mind you're giving access to a very powerful move, both in and out of battle, to someone who may or may not be worthy of it. Back in the old days, the League eventually clamped down on such moves when they became too widespread.
Might cause people to ask questions, too!

HM moves often breed, and always carry a recessive gene. That'd be a great scholarship program!
