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

[Dragonstrike]

The general plan I've been thinking of after we turn in Juni is:

- Resume the trip to Teazel Valley, then Elanor (gym in Elanor)
- Potential detour to Liverwort Town
- Go to Botanville (gym there.  Also Telperion University for Shiva and maybe Nathan)
- Return to Arrowroot.  Check out the Nature Preserve from there (gym there, plus search for the FLY HM)
- Head to Earthstar Forest.  End goal is Tumbleweed Town (where there's a gym), but Charring Cross could be a good detour
- Find DIVE HM and do Genesect Fossil sidequest? (may require Dagny and Laurelins' help)

That's not even accounting for a few things, such as any storyline quests directly involving Almanac and the Scimitars, potentially finding a way to reopen the path between Liverwort and Charring Cross now that we have the ROCK SMASH HM, finding Marco Warren, Terra, Heart, and Spira potentially backtracking to prior towns to grab gym badges they don't have yet (you only need 6 to qualify for challenging the Elite 4, though, if that is an end goal for your character)...and of course, the Skull Ruins, which is the main plotline that could happen at literally any time (and given how Iron's designed the region, we could go there whenever we wish, ala Hyrule Castle in LoZ: BOTW). It's a general outline, but it's also a flexible one. I'm only accounting for the gyms and static major plot points we know the locations of (and know we're probably prepared for) in this potential pathway.

And the Elite 4 challenge and Champion battle is probably going to be the finale, for obvious reasons.
