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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I probably wouldn't use it for battling much anyway, maybe only once to try Swift Swim out. I'd want it for the symbolism and as a company when diving, but now I'm pondering... Hmm. But that 0 Loyalty does not mean that it doesn't like me, does it? That'd be sad.

Nah! 

Actually, by this chart



I think a 1 Loyalty would be more accurate. 

Luvdisc just doesn't value you above any other human in the world, but it's not a violent species. In the Creshire campaign so far, 0 Loyalty doesn't usually indicate hostility unless paired with at least a point of disobedience.

Lol, being attacked by a smol heart-shaped fish with a grim expression is an amusing imagination, but it doesn't match a Luvdisc's nature.

I don't mind if it doesn't value me more than anyone as long as its friendly towards Shiva, which both Tropius and Vaporeon (oh, and Gothitelle) who all started with 1 Loyalty indeed were. Now the odds point to 'Buy it!" again, but I'll await what and whether Ventus has and wants to add to this.

And I havent have any luck in find that Gargryph until now. *Sigh*

GM soft-asked me to post this in the Thread as well, so here it is... https://78.media.tumblr.com/dd25c0b0a8e4...2_1280.png I quite liked the Mandatory Encounter and everything it brought, so eventually it developed into wanting actually depict it somehow.

I have one more small drawing, but it will be revealed when the time has come. ^^ Waiting for you now, Windos~

So, out of curiosity, I decided to look at some of Sharpedo's pokedex entries. The results weren't all what I expected them to be when I got to the Gen 7 ones...

Moon: It has a sad history. In the past, its dorsal fin was a treasured foodstuff, so this Pokémon became a victim of overfishing.
Ultra Sun: People believe that carrying one of its discarded fangs will prevent mishaps at sea, so the fangs are made into accessories.

Also interestingly, Sharpedo and Hydreigon have the same species name: the Brutal Pokemon.

Sharpedo Fang would be a great charm for the Violet Tent.

Yet again you grace us all with your wonderful artwork, my love! Hopefully you got some XP for it, since its well deserving of it!

Took me awhile to post everything, since their was a lot to catch up on and finding the right words for everything, but I'm happy with the results and time spent! Hope you are too!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I did. C: But I'd probably still draw stuff when if it wouldn't.

That's quite a nice text wall you gave me there!~ I love how Venny is both attracted to and nervous about my chara.

The Moon entry is actually in line with the Chinese practice of making Shark Fin Soup, so I guess the game designers were trying to make it a more poignant/tragic Pokémon by injecting some real world facts. Don't know WHY they did so, though.

As for the Ultra Sun entry, if its possible to make accessories out of its teeth, is it possible to harvest the discarded teeth from a Sharpedo and Craft stuff with it, like with Corsola Horns and Clawizter Claw meat?

Huh, well whata you know! Maybe they would get along with Azrael in that case? Or would they try to outdo one another?
