A few questions, @Iron.
About the tournament mechanics:
- Just to double check, for those of us who caught more than 6 pokemon in the Safari Zone, we can switch around our party of 6 in between battles, right?
- How many battles would you have to win to get, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st Place?
- Is it possible that two PCs could eventually end up matched against each other?
- When you said Nurse Joy can heal up to -2 Pain in between battles, does that mean up to half of the pokemon's max HP?
About Move Mechanics:
- How does Assurance's damage buff work? Like in the book, where it is almost a different move entirely and functions like Revenge/Avalanche? Like in the games where it does more damage to a target that's already been damaged in the same Round? Or like in Mystery Dungeon, where it functions like Brine because of mechanical reasons? (I'm asking because it baffles me why the writers decided to completely reverse the move's concept. If they were going to change how it works because it's confusing/difficult to pull off/incredibly powerful if it's too simplified, then why not do what Mystery Dungeon did and make it more like Brine?)
- What are the exact homebrewed mechanics for Thrash and other Rampage type moves? Randomly determining how many hits it does is incredibly awkward if you take other actions before using the Rampage move since you have to declare how many actions you're making before you start attacking. (Windos has his own solution for the Celadon Campaign, but it bends the rules a little and might not be suitable for this campaign)
- How do Roar, Whirlwind, and other phasing moves work in and out of Trainer battles after they've been used? Do they immediately end the Round, or could the phaser continue attacking after forcing their opponent to switch out in less rules heavy battles? (this question also sorta applies to U-turn and other Switcher type moves)
About a Misc Mechanic:
- During his first League Tournament attempt in the anime, Ash left Pikachu's pokeball with Professor Oak (i.e. in the PC), but Pikachu stayed out of his ball to watch the tournament. He wasn't legally allowed to participate as a result, but watching from the sidelines was fine. Could Nathan do a similar thing with Gallade?
