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

[Spiritmon]

Hey guys a quick question: When I capture Mudkip I have send Caesar to my PC and put Mudkip in the team. Is permited to change again and put Caesar in the team, or only when we find a PC?

[Spiritmon]

Thinking better I change my mind. I take Swinub. Must train Gustav a bit.

Not gonna get much exp for that one, though, since it's absurdly easy.

Of course, maybe there's something else going on with that swinub considering it's very small and out in the open...and has no cap on how many people can take it.

Then I will choose Burmy then. Its Easy but at least I will get some decent XP.

Nope, you are only allowed to send a Pokémon to the PC when you have a full party and catch/receive one more than the max of six. At least, that is what I assume, given the scene with Nathan and the big deal Iron made those outdoors PCs along the way to Stair...

Roger that, mate! I'll get that post typed up ASAP! .....I am wondering if Nathan is going to read Ventus the riot act for letting Apsis hunt unattended, though. That would do the opposite of improving relationships between them, though it wouldn't send it back into 'I Jolly Don't Give A Fuck' or 'You Presence Offends Me' territory.

It's just like in the games.  You can only swap your team out at the PCs and similar.

Hmm.....anyone want to do the Ninjack Encounter? I'd like the gain a bit more XP for Lucifer so that he can finally get Tailwind in his arsenal, and start on training Lilith so that she can get Grass Whistle!

Tailwind is a cool move. In fact, it's just another mischievous trick Shiva will be able to pull off in and outside battle sooner or later!~ Cottonee has enough XP collected to have his ability retrained into Prankster and learn Tailwind in one go right after evolution, and with a bit of luck she'll be able to learn Hurricane at the same time/shortly after, nicely unlocking a Whimscicott's natural behavior of sneaking into houses by whirlwinds and cause a playful ruccus. Add future-Marill's Rain Dance and Helping Hand and watch her field control happening.

All this will probably give Shiva a nice boost in self-esteem as well, another reason the visiting of Elanor will be a significant for my chara. There'll also be progress in ship happening (yes, Windos, there might!) - if Ven doesn't give himself completely reluctant, that is! It's sweet to see that despite everything and Shiva having her issues and struggles AND being close to his feared Fairy Type he nevertheless developed protectiveness and feelings for her.

Okay, I've actually pondered back and forth about which Encounter to choose, as resolving it will inevitably bring Shiva a level-up in Strength. This Stat is special as it does not only measure how much hidden energy she'll be able to channel in battle (as her Strength Stat is way more akin to Special instead of the ordinary physical strength), but also is kinda linked to her development. I think by now Shiva has endured enough to now deserve a bit more strenght and resilience.

@Iron, at first I was thinking of letting you or your dice decide whether a bevy of Pidove or a Pineco would be more matching to my chara, as Pineco brings back memories of Shiva blaming herself due to not being able to protect her Plusle from a lethal Explosion. By now, she has grown enough to face a similar threat and make a difference. Pidove would be relevant because she has memories of spending time in Castelia's central park and feeding them - being reminded on home now would awake those and and trigger a casual battle.

I've decided which one I thought would be a more interesting way, and will type up reply now. Let's hope it won't end in tragedy~

EDIT: Ohh, just saw Noibat learns Hurricane via level-up too! Any plans on learning it, Windos?

I'm thinking about it, actually, since its slightly cheaper to obtain than Boom Burst, its Lethal, Can Confuse and do STAB damage, and would synergize well with Kingrda's future Rain Dance. However, Boom Burst gives it a STR + 6 Area attack that can be spammed readily without excessive setting up or the right circumstances, so their is that to consider as well. I plan on getting Hone Claws/Wide Lens for Lucifer eventually, which along with Tailwind would cancel out the Accuracy Penalties of Iron Tail and Hurricane, but those boosts could also be used to spam more accurate moves with higher frequency/more chance to crit. Hmm, decisions decisions....

I actually enjoy the thought of both future-Whimsicott and future-evolved Lucifer performing a double Hurricane under the rain (epic fairy and epic dragon fighting alongside!), but Boom Burts is a cool move and feels kinda suiting for a Noivern.
