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

[Lord Windos]

Pfffftt...ah hahahahaha!!  Wow, that Psyduck's concept is hilarious!  I was not expecting it to have Defiant!

...though I guess we're houseruling that Paralysis triggers Competitive and Defiant even though it doesn't in the games?  Makes me wonder if pokemon with Clear Body and its variants will still be affected if that's the case...

Neither was I! Guess its a slow witted but quick to rage giant, eh? Sadly, its not going to get much of a chance to test out its might between Michael and Duskull putting it on lockdown, unless the dice decide to seriously get on me plums/Iron gives it Sleep Talk.

That's a question I'm eager to know the answer to too, as that would make Lovely even better of a fighter and on par with a fully powered up Shiranui!

Know what's especially funny, though?

If Duskull Curses Psyduck, it's impossible for the duck to wake up because it will always get 0 successes on the Insight check.

Man, now I have imagined if that Psyduck its a encarnation of Donald in the Pokemon world. Because that Duck is very much angry too.

Here how I imagined that Psyduck:

Sorry...Couldnt find a better one than this...

Wow......that is hilarious! I doubt the dark devil will be willing to do that, though, since it puts him at personal harm to thoroughly screw over Giga Psyduck and he can't be healed easily due to Potion Effectiveness. He's more likely to either loaf around or harass it with Shadow Sneak/Wil-lo-wisp, but that suits my purposes fine too, so it isn't a problem!

Newsflash @everyone: I just wanted to say that I'll be traveling starting tomorrow (28th January) and away for presumably a bit more than a week, there's no fixed time when I'll return yet but it won't be longer than two weeks at maximum. I'll have limited access to the internet at the place I'll stay in return for lots of nature and quietness, Iron will auto my chara for that time being. I might stop by to read the threads when I can, but whether I can/will post is unsure. We'll see. Have good days!

@Spiritmon, that means we unfortunately have to postpone that battle of Koa+Golett vs. Cottonee+AlolaVulpix, I'm sorry for that. We'll get to that at some point though, promise!

@Lord Windos, that Safari Trip Terra has booked takes three full in-game-days, but if you like you can assume that Shiva will auto-agree on tutoring Bullet Punch to Shiranui with Pangoro's help if you like in case I'm not back until then. I wanted to level her MoveTutoing Speciality to 4 during it, I'll just do so now. We can outplay Shiva meeting and playing with Mawile in return for the tutoring at some other point when there's enough time and the other charas are busy as well, okay?

@Iron, a private message with things I wish for Shiva to do as Encounters will be sent to you today. You already have permission to edit my chara sheet.

Iron, I'm having two questions I'd please like to ask:

- How much would one of these Trade Stones by Almanac cost in theory, and has it any negative side effects for the Pokemon? The Pokemon would just have to touch the stone to trigger evolution, right?

- How are the Eggs we have received from Legendary Arcanine actually, are the young ones growing well? I only now realized that I've forgotten to add Shiva checking on Minicorn and Flabebe after crafting as I originally wanted, meh. ._. Let's say she does so in the morning of Day 72.

The trigger is whether an Attribute is lowered - paralysis just lowers Dex in this game. I guess I didn't think about Clear Body - they would probably be immune to the Dex-lowering effect.

Lots of people are saying they have potential side effects. They've received a lot less testing than is ethical, and they are not natural. It's not risky enough to cause a consensus, though, so there are plenty of people who swear by them. 
That means I just roll one time for risks - if there's no side effect immediately, none will never crop up for that Pokemon.

The Eggs are fine but they haven't had much time at all to grow. It's been very few days. Thanks to their incubation in the legendary volcano, they will hatch more quickly than normal, especially if exposed to a good habitat.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Humm, I'll think about getting a Trade Stone then or rather go the traditional way. That one's more safe for me, but it does itch me a little to try something new.

Does an Incubator kept close to the company of other Pokemon and the caretaker of the Egg count as 'good habitat'??
