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

[Iron]

Spoiler

That could be a interesting piece of information to be informed before I have begin to hunt one to be capture: "Hey Spiritmon, I would suggest you to not go after one because you cant train him to become a Aegslash". That would indeed help quite a lot, thank you very much.

Is there any other pokemon who I cant use that I need to know? If yes, please inform me. That gonna help me next time when we make another time travel and my char decide to hunt some good ol ancient pokemon.

I'm not saying you can't.  Like I said, I didn't want to influence your decision (nor ever really had any obvious reason for Nathan to drop the trivia IC until now), and I underlined the word 'Creshireans' for a reason.  If a foreigner showed up in Creshire with an already trained Aegislash (For example, Wilkstrom from the Kalos Elite 4, the only major NPC with an Aegislash in the games.  It also happens to be his signature pokemon), what do you think the 2017 League would do?

From what I know, I don't think they'd do much of anything at first, really.  That foreigner might get some...odd looks at least, but they'd still have their Aegislash.  I don't think any super extreme measures would be taken initially.

Now, I might be wrong.  Iron obviously has the final say on what would happen to a trainer owned Aegislash.  But as seen with Honedge and Doublade earlier in the campaign, the League is a little more...lax concerning using the evolution line than Creshire's royalty was.

In short, you'll need to ask Iron about some of the specifics, and then Nathan can inform Heart about them IC soon(ish) (provided I know what they are as well).




Hmmm...actually, lemme just link the post where Iron originally stated the Aegislash restriction, actually.  That's this post here.  The wording does suggest that only the Champion is allowed to raise an Aegislash...but again, it could mostly be a tradition thing.  Ask Iron for the exact details.  I'll stop blabbing and theorizing for now.  I could definitely be completely off track.

--------------------------

To my knowledge, no.  That's once again more of a question for Iron.  But in general, you should be able to use almost anything you want provided Iron makes it available somewhere in Creshire.  Key word: most.  The majority of Alolan pokemon are obvious exceptions.

Hmm...so I more or less can raise a Honedge to reach his final form, but there is the concern of the League might not be happy in see someone have Aegslash who is not a Champion. Now its explained. In that case, I will continue my hunt to have the slight chance in find one. I might go foward with, "screw the rules" and raise one since that "tradition" might be only happen to people who born in Cheshire like Nathan and not for outsiders like Heart who is a Sinnohsian. If anyone asks its because the Aegslash is owned by me from my travels. I have a Trevenant and a Clawitizer who comes from the same region as Aegislash, and Heart its a pokemon rare collector. 

But I gonna ask anyway. @Iron, if by chance Heart find a Honedge/Doublade, and raise him to become a Aegislash, there gonna be huge problems to him since he is not a Champion? PM me to better to me keep that info or put here if you think its better.

Nathan knows that in modern Creshire, an Aegislash has never evolved or appeared for anyone but a Champion. It is a very very special Pokemon. Dusk Stone evolves Honedge, not Doublade, in Creshire.

Creshire Aegislash has special powers as a result of its special status, such as free Surprises and certain story powers.
There is no law against having an Aegislash but you wouldn't be able to use it in any high-stakes League battles under normal circumstances. And any trainer you met would be very confused to see you use one in a lower stakes battle.


BUT I am in favor of players being able to create the team they wish, so I'm willing to bend rules to make having an Aegislash possible for Heart. Just be warned it will probably be very very lategame before you amass enough power to get one, and you wouldn't be able to use it specifically in Gyms or Elite Four. (Against wandering trainers it will be fine). 

In summary: Yeah you can get Aegislash, but it won't arrive until late in the game.

@Iron, a quick question: If I order Kecleon to use Camouflage, what type he gonna get? Since this is a place with some ghosts around us (spiritual energy) and it is night, maybe he will become either Ghost or Dark type?

I will let you choose either of those. Good thinking!

Its fair to me. A Aegslash seems to be a powerfull and important pokemon to the plot of the story, since its if Saminarok have one, than its looks really important. I dont mind in acquire a Aegislash very much lategame in this campaigh. If such pokemon have such status and power, its more than fair to be a difficult pokemon to evolve. Two last questions about it Iron: Its the Dusk Stone Evolves Honedge into Doublade or Honedge direct to Aegislash via the Dusk Stone? And if I choose evolve him to Doublade, are me still able to evolve him to Aegislash via another Dusk Stone or another method?

In that case, since Honedge its a Ghost-type I choose to Kecleon able to become Dark-type since its have a bigger advantage against that pokemon. And be able to use Sucker Punch in his maximum potential.

Honedge and Doublade's evolution methods have just been swapped with each other.
