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

[Iron]

Now that Shiva owns 2 Conditional Balls, I wanted to ask something about their use/mechanics please, Iron. To quote you:

There's an alternate use for a Conditional Ball. If you study a wild specimen long enough to understand it (5 Rounds), you can alter the program to increase the chances of the Ball capturing that specimen. An Almanac, or Almanac plugin for Pokedex, is necessary.
(Spending 5 Rounds studying a wild Pokemon, then you can use Knowledge+Computer Science to determine Seal Strength on any future Conditional Balls for that specimen.)

What's exactly meant by 'Rounds' in this case, is it required to meet the wild Pokemon and to persevere 5 Rounds against it while the chara studies its behaviour, or do you actually mean 5 Encounter Slots? If the latter, 5 Slots feels a bit too much unless one can have one or two Pokemon train simultaneously, 3 or 4 sounds more appropriate.

Actual Rounds. Which is about 30 seconds of game time!
