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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Terra and Nathans' pokedexes would have registered them as seen, no?


I picked up on it from the description of the various wild pokemon that were common in that time.

Dark: literally hundreds of Mightyena and some Absol
Ground: Onix, Mamoswine
Rock: Onix, presumably the fossil pokemon
Normal: Eevee, probably some other mammals

Combine that with those being the 4 types missing from the list AND the tidbit of info Iron revealed saying type diversity increased after a meteor impact long, long ago...and I was able to conclude that Jirachi's tags were going to cause type changes.  Further confirmed by the appearances and behaviors of any pokemon that touched the tags altering slightly, but noticeably.

And that's why I considered what kind of Surprise I wanted to get from Jirachi's wish tags for literal hours.  (though I was also playing some Monster Hunter while doing so).  I basically boiled it down to Grass/Dragon Snivy, Dark/Fairy Calam, or Dex surprise Nathan.

Guess that will be the case then! Before he joined the group, Terra never seen a Legendary Pokemon, but now it seems like they are rather eager to greet him and rectify that issue! What's also funny is that every Pokemon he's meet has both been a Mythical and has a Psychic typing, which is sorta funny considering he embodies the concept of a Wilderness Fighter/Surviver.

I also find it rather odd that I actually enjoyed the Deoxys Encounter as much as I did, consider it was a Plot Deviced Legendary that came from SPACE! to pillage the land. Guess I'm warming up to those types of things , now that they've been sufficiently introduced to dull the anxiety I feel from them.....or Terra just lets me act a bit more recklessly and have fun doing it. Either or!

 I'm still somewhat curious to know what would have happened if Terra was actually caught by them, as I would have just made him go along peacefully with the supervirus due to hypnosis/being that curious with it, but I guess that will remain a mystery for the ages. 

Mate, the fact you figured that out from those barest of clues tells me you're just as clever as your character, or even Reiner! I'd NEVER figure that out on my own, since I hopelessly oblivous to that sort of thing! Nice to know all this now, so thanks for the explanation(s)!

For my choice in Cosmic Boon.....I literally rolled my own set of Dice for it, and choose one option I liked the best at the time. In retrospect, I'd given Shiranui the Steel typing to trade its Weakness to Fire, Ground, and Fighting (Since he's better equipped to deal with them) and Bullet Punch, but as I said earlier, hindsight is 20/20. I'm happy enough with Terra's Steeliness anyway, as I didn't just want to give him another Stat Boost in either Strength or Vitality since those things can be obtained through other means than perhaps a once in a campaign event (IE: More than Human Bonus and The Badge Pairs, on top of other things not yet known....)
