[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Insight is one of the physical Attributes, so no, you would not use your Insight.

Let's establish this a little more clearly.  Should you swap using Phione's services, you'll use the Attributes, movepool, and other physical capabilities of the other character.  The Skills and Specialties will be your own, however.  I don't want this to be too complicated after all.

I imagine Logic and Instinct are also technically Mental Attributes specific to an individual, so would that be carried over between Swaps?

Which means that, provided you are good enough friends with a Pokemon to convince them to Swap, you could end up in a far more capable body to do stuff in, but have still have rookie experience backing it all up, making you arguably more incompetent or dangerous to yourself/others if the body you're controlling has 'OH SHIT' tier firepower. Interesting....

I'm overall rather intrigued by the whole system, though the practicality of it will widely vary on long-term costs and who we can pull from. That, and of course the emotional quandary of 'wait, what's the point of using it, I want to play as my character's Pokemon, darn it!', but hey, I'm not about to completely overlook a interesting system like this. In particular I'd like to see what'd it be like playing a Zoura with his Illusion ability, or seeing what spirit-eating/energy draining is like with Litwick or Kogeki (heck, that's a good way of bonding and getting others to look at such things more nicely, RPwise!)....
