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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That settles it! Do tell before you're locking the threads then, as I picked Drafts can't be saved if the thread gets locked while typing them up. The text can be saved as a document, sure, but I'd rather not have any loose ends before new Encounters arise. How far is it actually until the village is reached?

Speaking of Encounters, I would like the chance to do the Breloom one with Michael, as the thought of two grown Brelooms interacting with one another is a fascinating one for me! That, and need that 2 XP for Move Tutoring!

I'd rather have new ones rolled out, but if there'll be a Breloom nevertheless (or way later in Earthstar Forest), I've no issues with you can taking on it!

Might need a good reason in-chara to level-up this Speciality, as it's nothing that simply 'comes up'. I raised Move Tutoring when rping-out a Pokemon of Shiva learning a new move.

He could just say that he was inspired by your character's example as a Move Tutorer, and wants to have the ability to further help out people in the party whenever possible. How does that sound?

Does feel like a start and not horribly out-of-place/out of the blue, so it should be fine.

Personally, I've been waiting for someone to assist Nathan with tutoring a move before he gets any points in the specialty himself.  He knows the basics of it from his research, but seeing it applied would help him solidify that understanding.  Wouldn't want to impose on everyone else too much in the long run since there's 5 moves on my list of approved tutorable moves so far.

*shrugs* Shiva wouldn't mind someone observing how she teaches, plus seeing a real experienced NPC tutoring would benefit her greatly.

However, just because a move has been approved to be tutored, doesn't mean that it'll be certainly obtained! (For example, Dragon, I'm not sure whether I'll use Pancham often enough to learn enough about Drain Punch for Gallade, but even if it'll take quite a while) I dunno whether it's just non-competitive me who sees tutoring a move not as something game-breaking but more 'extraordinary' or you people seeing it as something easy to do/receive. It's not! Tutoring costs several Encounters and a little effort to get a connection to the desired move if done on one's own, and an amount of money or shards to pay an NPC.

So...I was looking in the Phantump evolution line again and discover he evolves though Trade *Somewere you can Spiritmon facepalm himself* and discover another thing: Trevenant learns Shadow Clawn when he evolves. Is this aplicat in the Roleplay Iron?

Iron's sticking mostly with the book on these kinds of things.  Any of the changes to movepools and such from OR/AS and Gen 7 that aren't in 1.1, aren't really being applied for the most part.

Trevenant will be learning Horn Leech upon evolving, though, since that's a 0 exp move.  And be careful with that evolution.  Trevenant is another highly disobedient pokemon.

[Iron]

Not only is Trevenant disobedient, but there's a chance to lose Loyalty during a trade!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Ohhh, I'm feeling bold today, so I desire for Encounter#5, that human cry for help! If it's okay, I'd like to try that alone, as the thought of Shiva, suffering silent feels of being overshadowed, saving a person is just too good to pass?

Preferably that special Gloom as second Encounter, if it'll still be free later.
