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

[Lord Windos]

"...I would also like to advice Valder to store away Mamo for this trip, as they pose an even great threat to potential cause cave ins with Earthquake than Hanael with Magnitude. If they agree, then another Pokémon can be selected to join the expedition. Otherwise, use of Earthquake should be prohibited in all but the most dire circumstances."

Does Mamo even know Earthquake yet?

He does; I checked in with Nylon and Iron about it while plotting Plan B of Chandelure Revenge, IE Cave in the Candelabra, and the amount of XP he spent on a move for Mamo corresponded to the XP cost of Earthquake on its list. If I am wrong, then Ven would not have any objection to them joining in.

I also have a Starly and Vullaby in my PC. Just in case I may dont have the necessary pokedollars, I may use that two as a Coin Exchange maybe.

Together with Heart pokeballs, Great Balls and Steel Balls, thats 10, 4 and 5. And 3 Oran Berries with Heart. I still consider if I should buy a few potions or not. Its time like this I should know about how to make potions.

I would recommend not investing in Medicine solely to make Potions, as unless you are willing to get at least 5 levels in it and/or get lucky enough with finding valuable/free ingrediants, its rather costly to make them now, as me and Iron reviewed the formula and decided it was too exploitable. The system for making Healing Items is also complicated, so leave that specialty to me and save yourself the XP/Poke/Headache.

Here's one of my OOC thoughts on pokemon selection:

I don't think Gargryph is going to be too useful, tbh.  I can't say this IC until Gargryph demonstrates its Hidden Power on both a human and a Pokemon, though (which is what I'm trying to do...).  Since its Hidden Power can only give humans Rebuild, it's not overly helpful in the long run unless we're expecting trainers to be taking damage frequently for one reason or another.

There's also the matter of...something else.  But I can't say what it is until Gargryph has demonstrated its Hidden Power.

I was expecting the campaign to take about a year, but you're about halfway through the story content I had planned.

When it "ends" it'll probably turn into a diceless campaign.

Is that a semi-hidden permission to continue RPing a bit with our charas here after we finished the journey through your region? Lolz.... I haven't thougth about that yet, but that'd be really cool.

On a different note, important question that'll influence my Pokemon choice: Will Tropius and Cottonee indeed be hindered in their capabilities and health by the lack of sunlight down there in the mountain? According to you, Tropius produces fruit each day if he is in my party at least a bit, if we want to be nitpicking nowhere does it say that he needs to be outside of his Pokeball or need supplements to grow fruit, so he should be able to do so even during the trip into Mount Sentry. Growing fruit is within his nature.

Concerning Cottonee, one more thing depends, and this is how she'll personally take a a trip into a mountain when she's not used to such an environment, and whether being seperated from Shiva for I-dunno-how-long is wise at all for both sides. The odds point to switching her with Braixen from my list of Pokemon to simply have her with me and due to her coverage with Fairy Type + lifestealing skill, but I'm still undisclosed.

Grass types will be a little less happy, but no mechanical penalties. 

Marowak

The two Marowak together are worth 3k (if they have their Thick Clubs).

- Potions: 16
- 5 Sweet Root

Thank you. As long as Tropius and Cottonee don't get their Happiness and Loyalty that I gathered effortfully reduced, I'm willing to take these two with me.

Taking the opportunity since @Iron is online....
Resume of everything: Nathan order Ralts to hurt Heart (with his permission but he use a little more strengh than necessary) to see Gargryph ability to heal with his ability Rebuild. Could you make the scene Iron?

Well I glad to hear the first part, but the second part is a bit of a let down. Oh well, that means one each is roughly $1500 Poke, so they're still worth a nice chunk of change if sold on their own.

It's past midnight here, so I'm sure I'll make careless mistakes if I'd start to count all numbers together that were give through the posts.

I still have that Tea from the Violet Tent that heals 4hp and gives a minor augury when consumed, but it cannot be used in battle.
