[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Bloody 'ell, my darling, if you keep producing such fine works of art, I might just start swooning! Wish I was a better artist, but I'm good with words somewhat, so maybe I'll produce something of that nature for the Meta thread...

Lolz, nope, no need to faint, swoon or whatever! To everyone their own, I guess?

Hey, Emdasche just released their fan music for Ultra Lunala, and it is awesome! They really do a fantastic job, don't they?

Yeah, I caught that as soon as I got home earlier.  He's done great, as usual.

If you want to listen to something just a little different, there's also Brotad to consider listening to.  He's worked with Emdasche a little before, and specializes primarily in remixes.  (He even remixed Emdasche's Marshadow theme the same day it was released!)  He's just starting to get into original tracks, though, and has sort of combined his usual remixing with that in his first fan theme: One for Ultra Solgaleo and Lunala that incorporates original stuff, the original Solgaleo and Lunala theme, and the Tapu theme.  You can find that track here.  I'm not subscribed to Brotad's channel, but I've enjoyed listening to some tracks from him every so often.

Another music remixer I like is insaneintherainmusic.  He specializes in Jazz covers of a wide variety of tracks, and he does a spectacular job with every remix he does (and also brings in guests from time to time).  Plus, he's rather decent at video editing too, so his videos are entertaining to look at as well as listen to!  Today's track from him: Tetris A.

Great fanmade theme for Ultra Lunala, indeed. Good catch!

I still prefer Sim Gretina, though.

@PhantomUnderYourDesk : Oh, you listen to Sim Grata too? I love their work! What's your favorite song by them, my darling?

@Nylon: ....Mate, why didn't you use the Net Ball to begin with, rather than batter your wish list Pokémon? The Higher HP/lower Pain they are in, the more likely they are to be friendly and loyal to you. Net Ball at this point is kinda overkill in terms of catching the frog, considering the -1 Will it has due to being a non-Bug type in Fireweed, and you sending it all the way to -3 Pain Penalization. I recommend just using a regular Pokeball, and saving the Net Ball for a more difficult encounter later down the line!

Because that's how Valder is. Cheap answer, I know. Hopefully the Net Ball is a bit more comfy for Froakie...

Hmm... Tricky question. Probably Spooktune, among a few selected MLP-Remixes~

The -1Will due to being a non-Bug Type doesn't apply anymore on Froakie, appearantly. Proof
Doesn't matter though, enjoy and take good care of the future Ninja-Frog! I feel this Pokemon matches Valder quite well.

If you wanted you Pokémon to be more comforted, then a Luxery Ball is what is needed. Probably one of the most powerful balls in the game, given that it accelerates the process of gaining Happiness/Friendship for a Pokémon in it. Wonder if its possible to buy these items in the future... Regardless, just make sure you devote a heck of a lot of time to bonding the frog, before you evolve it. Otherwise, you're going to have a bad time with it, that is for sure!

Typically, if Luxury Balls are purchasable in the games, it's only at endgame pokemarts (meaning the League, final gym, or post game).  There's two exceptions though: Verdanturf Town in OR/AS (not R/S/E though), and the Pokeball Boutique in X/Y.  You can also buy them at the Department Store in Uranium.

There's also Friend Balls from the aprikorn pokeballs, but those require green apricorns and a skilled craftsman (like Kurt) to make, and are non-purchasable in the modern day. The effect is also slightly different. Instead of accelerating friendship growth, it just sets the initial friendship value to 200/255.
