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

[Dragonstrike]

If I use the Torchic Tooth and Camp Training on it, Duskull will already have 2/3 Loyalty it needs to listen to Terra completely, so I don't think a Training Battle would work well for that purpose alone. Maybe for our Pokemon to gain XP and test out their new Moves, though, since that's always a nice thing to do. I'd rather have a Friendly Battle (similar to the ones against Nathan/Shiva) , though, since those are much more epic, fun, and XP lucrative!

Keep in mind that Torchic Teeth can create Happiness Debt by dropping pokemon with 0 Happiness to -1 (or lower, even).  I'm not sure dealing with a depressed Duskull would be enjoyable...

Man, I really Heart may capable of finding a Honedge or a Doublade. For a descendant from a family of knights, a ghost sword who choose knights its something fitting.

Nathan has something reeeaaaallllly important to say to Heart about that.  Like, reeeeeaaalllly important.  Expect him to pop some facts about the species on Heart when the group gets back together.

Edit: well, Windos just said it OOC (as did Iron for that matter), but IC, Nathan definitely still needs to drop that knowledge on Heart.  The Honedge line doesn't just choose knights: they choose kings.  And the evolution line was specifically reserved for Creshirean royalty, once upon a time.

I know already man. That entry about: "When appear its try to attach to the trainer and drink of their life force." Heart is also aware about that too. He is a Pokemon Rare Collector, so he know the risk. But...he wouldnt be a trainer if he not take risks right?

Camp Training also raises a Pokemon's Happiness by 1 along with Loyalty if I recall, so those two effectively cancel each other out. Even then, a more obedient if miserable Skull Ruins Ghost is better than a Happy but Willfully Disobedient one. I and Terra would like to be true friend with them, but that's going to take a loooot of work regardless of whether the Tooth is used or not.

I could always use the TT on Anubi to make them totally Loyal to Terra and further delay their Evolution, but I just can't find it within myself to make an already Happy Pokemon less so than a Pokemon that hates my character miserable.

Thats remind me...when we get a return to our timeline and I get my get battle against Shiva, do you want a training battle to help increase the conection between Terra and Duskull @Lord Windos? Maybe meeting and interact with other ghosts may help increase the interaction between them and maybe make Duskull a bit more happy. And for Golett too since he still unhappy (0 in happiness). Maybe that could help both of us?

Remember that if you DO find one and managed to catch the bugger, then keep it hidden from EVERYONE until you are back in the modern era. Pokemon for Royalty = Pokemon not for 'plebs' like us for the King's Era, so stuff it away somewhere dark or hidden or trade it back to the future for another Pokemon ASAP!

Same opinion as Dragonstrike man. Dropping happiness in exchange for loyalty dont look a good to me. And hypnonise a pokemon to become loyal...I dont know. Seems...wrong to me. The two reasons why I did not buy the Torchic Tooth was: 1 - Not was a good idea trade a Rhyhorn with Great Ball from the future. And 2 - It seems a wrong approach to me. Not that I have against anyone who want do that approach.

But a friendly battle would be my friend. I always up for a challenge

No no no no.  We're not referring to the dangers of raising it that come from the pokemon itself.  We're talking about what kind of legal consequences there are for raising the Honedge line.  There's much, much fewer restrictions on raising the evolution line in 2017 (we faced a normal ol' martial artist with a Honedge back in Corsage Port, for example), but in Sarimanok's time?  If you have the sword pokemon in that medieval time, it could be considered treason.  THAT is why you'd have to keep the pokemon secret if you did find a Honedge.

It's just +1 Loyalty if I recall correctly.

[Lord Windos]

Well, IC Terra only knows that the Tooth will make a Pokemon more Loyal and also not sad (Since he wouldn't get that type hypnosis would make a Pokemon miserable), so that is my way of justifying the use of the Item. He'll feel like an arse for doing it once it becomes clear that Loyalty doesn't come cheap, but he'll avow to make it up to them , so it's not all bad.

Another option is that I can always wait for Duskull to deliberately cause trouble, and then use the TT as both a corrective measure and punishment on it. Still not very nice, but more justified doing it that way, and less guilt inducing for my character as a result.

I see...but dont worry. When if I find and capture the sword pokemon, I gonna send him right away to the future. I not a fool in keep such pokemon in the medieval times. Also remember: Heart its the most stealth member in the group. He can do it with no big deal.

[Lord Windos]

Well in that case, guess that means it'll stay right miserable for the longest time, or I'll have to wait until it gets 1 point in Happiness before I take it away (or for it to cause trouble that deserves it having - 1 Happiness)!

Man, Honedege abilities its very much confusing. The first one is the ability of Honedge and Doublade:

So that mean if I declare I wont make any evasion this turn the roll of his moves dont have reduced accuracy? What the hell?

And things get worse when we come to Aegislash ability as Stance Change:

[img][/img]

So...that means I can only choose one form per round and I can be only using the abilities of that said form? Like If use Swords Dance in the first round and for the rest of the round I am forced to use support moves like Iron Defense or Power Trick? He cant simple change his Shield Form to Blade Form in the round to use a move like Slash or Sword of Justice? 

Another question its how it would work the ability of Aegslash since he change stats depending of Form:

Shield Form

Blade Form

Can anyone help me how it gonna work that evolution line abilities and moves? @Iron could you me out too with the abilities?
