[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

The hail continues to fall as the group transitions to traversing the open snowfields of the route.  Wild pokemon aren't known to show up often on this part of the Route, but trainers of all kinds tend to fill that void.

The snow is deep and difficult to walk through.  Grounded pokemon and humans will have a -1 Dex penalty, regardless of their typing.

Lucas leads the way, pushing through the snow as best as he can.  "We should reach the rest stop not long after this.  Traveling down this Route is hard, frigid work, and few try to push on to Route 216 without at least taking a break first, and the fact that it's a popular spot for pokemon battles doesn't help either.  Keep your wits about you until we have a chance to take a break.  We're almost there!"

Karen has an arm up to shield her face from the chilly wind.  She isn't used to this weather, but she'll quietly push through it as best as she can.

Route 217 Encounter Set 2

1. Wingull*
Cap: 2 (1)
Difficulty: Moderate
Notes: Black stormclouds follow it as it flies about the Route.  Occasional flashes of light can be seen through the falling snow around it, and the combination of the two obscure all details of the pokemon until the encounter is taken. Wingull are also very rare to see this far away from the coastline.

2. Ace Trainer Jessica
Cap: 1
Difficulty: Very Hard
Notes: Looking for a 2v2 Single Battle.

3. Snowboarder Dave
Cap: 1
Difficulty: Moderate
Notes: Also looking for a 2v2 battle, but is cool with both singles and doubles.

4. Abandoned Wagon
Cap: 2
Difficulty: ???
Notes: Looks like it's stuck in the snow.

5. Delibird*
Cap: 2 (1)
Difficulty: Moderate
Notes: Scrounging around in the snow, close to the wagon. A rare species on this Route.

Unlimited Encounters: Snover (they can be found in the treeline, particularly the one at the base of the mountain, minding their own business as long as nobody bothers them.)

(In the interest of speeding things along a little, I'm likely going to reduce the number of encounters on Routes 217 and 216 so we can get to Mt. Coronet more quickly. Sound fair?)
