[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

Hmmm...well, there is one thing I'd like to point out regarding Shadow Pokemon, at least as far as all the ones Cipher made in Colosseum and XD.

None of them are actually Shadow type.

Those ones were all 100% artificial, though, I suppose...

Hmm....well, in that case, Weavile can still retain his Normal Typing alongside his new Shadow 'Typing' . He still gets the Resistances and SE Damage from it (Among other things), but he'll look just like a normal black kitty to most appearance wise. Heck, given his species' typical behavior, his extra Lethality/aggression might not raise any flags either if managed/bluffed right.

Reiner would still become Shadow Type if he shouldered the cost, though. 

I will point out something I think is obvious: You could have Reiner make Weavile pay the cost, phone the Merchant for all the Berries needed to unShadowfy his arse (It would cost one Big Nugget, due to discounting), and then force feed them all in one setting (If you're fine with giving him a stomach ache/food overdose [Non-Lethal Problems]) to instantly restore him back to normal.

That right there is the easy way out to pretty much that whole mess, with minimal long term consequences. The other easy way out is have Reiner eat the cost, as he can manage his new state of being and benefit from it (Hello Stat Benefits!) without it negatively affecting his most important Pokemon/Chara Relationships, but still suffering a bit none the less. Beth decided to converse with Reiner due to him being so upset over his partner flying the coop and offer a solution to that mess out of sympathy/interest in his choice , and thereby undo all the negative build up that Weavile has undergone throughout the campaign. If Reiner were okay with Weavile, she wouldn't have done what she is currently doing, and everyone would be out of Celadon now. That's the jist, really.
