[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Huh....I'm rather surprised that the Meif went after Platina with the Fake Out, considering that Keldeo and Emolga were greater threats to everyone and that Flinching her would've been worth bumbkiss if it and Cubchoo got KOed before they could do anything. I suppose they might've prioritized her due to being the one to make orders + being really notable with her Shininess? Well, no matter, my plan worked out for the better for all of us, beyond Keldeo having to deal with a persistent Debuff for the rest of the Floor. Better than anyone getting Poisoned at least! The fact we got 10 XP for it was pretty sweet too - and we haven't even tried looting the mobs for any goodies yet!

Concerning the Acid Spray 'burns' , could a Medicine Roll be used to try to at least allieviate the pain a bit, especially with the help of a possible analgesic like an Oran? Would Metal Sound also work as a mechanical replacement, as while it can't negate the chemical burn it can at least replace it with a distracting sound?

Also, FYI @Spiritmon : Might want to avoid soul sucking mobs while with Keldeo and Emolga, just to not freak them out and give them a bad idea of everyone. Platina also would be rather disturbed by it without being given warning and explanation first.

Sure. No problem. I was thinking in grab some soul sucking, but you do have a point. No time for such thing. But I do have 2 requests my friend, since you are the Leader for today expedition:

1 - Can we check the fainted Pokemon and see if they carry some useful items? I will not drain their Auras, you have my word on that, and this could be a good chance to find some useful items.

2 - And for last, can I try to convince Mienfoo to join us? Flinch Moves is a good opportunity, and for now, we do not have a ally with the Fighting-type Pokemon in our side, and Fake Out is a nice Move to use against certain enemies. Not to mentioned he problably have some Figghting-type moves (or at least one). Besides, Fighting would be cool to have to counter Kogeki weakness to Dark-types. Kogeki also in character was surprised about Mienfoo speed, so he want to have such Pokemon as our ally.

 Having said that, do you guys mind if I try to persuade Mienfoo to join our side? @Dragonstrike, @PhantomUnderYourDesk and Windos?

1. Certainly. Platina isn't interested much in doing it herself, seeing as she just wants to get the mission done fast, but the rest are free to loot if they can do it quickly enough not to annoy her (FYI: She won't get annoyed)

2. Mienfoo is Fainted, ergo you can't really convince them to do much of anything unless you want to spend one of our Revivers on them. Frankly, I think that's a waste of resources right now to do so when we're on a time crunch and rather underhandily blitzed them from an Ambush (such things do not lend well to gaining the  trust of others). Platina would disagree with that plan online for the reasons I outlined, but if you convinced everyone else she'd begrudginly allow the chance - she wouldn't help out, though, preferring to keep watch just in case any wild mons migrate towards the room.

To be clear, though, I don't have a problem with Mienfoo's recruitment in theory, but in practice.....well, I just believe it wouldn't pan out well. Best case scenario I can think of is that we end up press ganging the fighter into Team OS and/or scare it into submission, and at that point we're probably starting down a path that'll lead everyone to being more like Team Artificer than good ol' Marcus. I could be wrong, however, and it is a known thing that High Instinct/Powerful Pokemon attract respect and admiration from others, so it's not out of the questions. Platina actually has the best chance on that front on convincing Pokemon through sheer Instinctive Charisma , but given that Meinfoo actually focused on her over more dangerous threats they probably don't like her too much.
