[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Alright, in that case, since Kogeki's Pokemon know HP and I imagine Ran knows that by now and would eventually be curious enough to Transform Ditto into one of them to find out what theirs would be, what would be Ditto's HP ?

Final questions I have about Ditto for now is how long can they stay Transformed as a Pokemon, and if they can Transform into people and Items (and if they would also copy the qualities/properties of said people and Items). Like say for example Ditto Transform into Ran, would Ditto Ran be able to command people like Original Ran (and if so, would Ran's Pokemon be Loyal and/or confused about him), and if Ditto Transformed into a TM, could they be 'used' like a regular TM without negative effects?

Oh, and if Spirit hasn't decided what Ditto's main personality trait would be Ditto's, I'd elect it to be Cool. From what little I saw from its behavoir during Kogeki's battle, it seems to be the elitest sort, in so far as 'I'm so better and more awesome than you!' Probably give it an Impish personality too based on that, but that's not entirely necessary.

I'll have to gove it some thought.  Coming up with cool HPs takes time and creativity.  I'll get back to you on that later.

I haven't determined any exact times for Transform durations yet, but a skilled Ditto can stay Transformed almost indefinitely if they so choose (and aren't KOed).  They cannot perfectly copy humans, though.  Pokemon don't usually think and behave the same way, so passing as a human if looked at carefully is almost impossible.  Ditto cannot Transform into complex items like a TM, either.

Spirit opted for Ditto to have a boost to Smart, as he thought it had to have been quite clever to pull off a Perish Trap.  Granted, the slight personality change should probably also be accounted for, as Absol was a corrupted Shadow Pokemon when Ditto Transformed into it.

Alrighty! I don't mind if you just come up with a uninteresting but functionally useful HP for Ditto, though, as it's already cool enough with its Transforming powers.

Gotcha! Which means a moderately skilled Ditto like Ran's (If we go by its Level) could probably maintain a Transformation for at least 1 Encounter before having to give it a rest for a bit (if you want my opinion on it). And I will assume imperfect copy of humans = can't really command Pokemon like a human unless they're specifically trained too (which sorta defeats the point of its versatile Transformative nature, to specialize it so as a human of all creatures) , so I won't attempt any 'Making it an Extra Trainer' shenanigans for simplicity's shake on both our ends.

I'm fine with that too, so it can be Smart! Intelligence lends it own kind of ego to a being, so that could also explain its hoity attitude towards Kogeki (besides being pseudo-Shadowized) !
