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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Oomph. Forgot about that limitation of Transform. Welp, in that case, don't give Ditto to Terra then, if he's not Insightful enough to make it shift into forms reliably. It would defeat the whole point of bringing it along, if their versatility can't be utilized reliably. 

Fair enough point on Solosis. I was just considering it as an nice bonus to aim for later, so if they don't get it during the expedition (If they come along), then it shouldn't be that big of a deal. I'm more concerned with Solomon and/or Anubi getting Heal Pulse ASAP, so I'll have to make sure they hold an Lucky Egg and participate in as much battles as possible to make a quick beeline for it.

Hmm....those are some good reasons to bring Charizard along, but I already understood them. What I was mainly concerned with was stacking multiple Pokemon with quad weakness or the same weakness on a single team (Sans Ghosts, for obvious reasons), or that by bringing them along you are creating 'spacing' issues with the other Pokemon you'd like to bring along. If you are adamant about bringing the fire drake with Nathan, then that's fine by me, but it's going to make including Emolga, Princess, Grid, etc.. along with the other Pokemon you'd like to take all the harder choice (Which is why I want to help you out by taking a Pokemon of your choice [preferably Solomon, if an agreement between him can be made])

Sure! Terra would be happy to arrange that trade! Just mention you caught it when they return the Super Rod to my chara. in the morning, when they meet up in the lobby! Won't be posting until everyone's teams are fully and completely finalized, though, as I can't really do much until that is sorted out since all my Encounters are going to be dedicated to the Ruins. Unless Trading Tubareel takes an Encounter, in which case we can go ahead and do that in the meantime. Iron?

Well, you don't have to be particularly Insightful to use a Ditto, it's just recommended if you're trying to have it Transform from memory or into objects.  Ditto has plenty of other ways it can be diverse just with line of sight transformations into pokemon, after all.  Nathan's Ditto is just particularly...chaotic when it comes to them, in a way.  If Ditto is mainly used for additional Heal Pulses, then no Insight checks are necessary as long as Ditto can see a target that knows Heal Pulse already.  Either way, though, I think Solomon would be a better fit for Terra's team setup.  And if he needs a power buff, either a Hard Stone or Nathan's Mystic Water can both help with that.

I'll definitely bring up Tubareel IC once the teams are determined.
