[Spiritmon]

Sorry the delay people! I been very much today with a few things to do. I will post today yet. I promise.

Gotcha! Hope you have a blast with them!

It's just a natural conflict...Shiva might agreed with a few things of those Scimitars, but Heart truly hate them. Because Heart belongs to a family who do things in the name of the "Greater Good" but instead only bring corruption. And we are talking about a long lineage: Three Thousands years to be more exactly. And Heart have read a lot about the lineage of the family.

And he knows one thing: You can have the most noble cause but nothing can justify the hurt of inocent people. To Heart, he doesn't really care about the "Reasons" the Scimitars do those crimes. To him, nothing can justify do evil to make good. And they only using a excuse to act the way they are doing, like ArcHearts do for thousands and thousands of years.

And the fact he both see the evil humanity can be. So yeah, Heart have reason to disagree with Shiva. He respect her opinion, but he disagree with them. 

It's not like I trying to create a fight or anything, I don't want that. I just trying to expose the reasons and motives of Heart reaction.

I...sorry if I sound like a bad player.

If I may add something to that, Gallade, Calam, and Nathan also ALL disagree with Shiva's stance on (lightly) defending the Scimitars as well.  I shouldn't really have to elaborate on the reasons why, but...this is a big reason why Nathan's been so uncomfortable around Shiva recently.

You're not alone in that opinion, Spirit.

How's everyone doing on XP for Pokemon and player? How close are you to reaching your character stat goals?

I've reached most of Nathan's but I've not set any hard limits for him.  I might be leveling his Strength or Fight again fairly soon.  I also would still like to increase his Dex to 7* if possible.

As far as his pokemon go...hit most of the stuff on his most experienced pokemon so far, but the work is far from done for obvious reasons.

Spoiler

- There's still some moves I'd like to teach Gallade (including Wish and Misty Terrain if possible).  
- Calam has most everything he's needed too, but there's still some stuff I may want to teach him.
- Grid has most everything he needs.  Mostly just waiting on Thunder to become available for him.
- Starmie can't naturally learn any more moves, so it's the only one who's technically 'done' (not including Ditto)
- Swiftfire's got just about all of her important moves.
- Same with Charizard, though Heat Wave, Blast Burn, and Flare Blitz might still be nice.  BB is the one I want on him the most, though.
- Orthros and Juliet still have a few moves to learn.  And they still need to evolve.
- Still have a lot of work to do with Ray, Snivy, and Sentry.  Particularly if I want Ray and Snivy to learn both Grass Pledge and Frenzy Plant.
- Yule, Porygon-Z, Pulse, Kumo, Emolga, Mizu, the Dratini egg...have a lot of work ahead of them as well.
- etc.  You get the idea.  I've got a strong team of mostly done 'mons, but still have plenty to work on.

On the note of Gallade and Calam...I'm actually seriously tempted to get them both Justified in some fashion, particularly since it's highly, highly relevant right now and would trigger immediately.  Buuuut...I also kinda don't want to fully change their abilities at this point in time. Gallade would probably get more use out of the full Ability change in the long run than Calam would, though, to be perfectly honest...a Psychic/Fighting type is much more likely to be struck by a Dark move than a Dark/Fairy type would be, and Super Luck is a universally useful Ability. And Steadfast is a very niche Ability that only triggers very rarely, even with a little GM discretion...there are still other things I'd like to spend exp on as well...

I think I might work in some challenges that grant boosted XP to Pokemon and not to trainers. Need to think on that.

I want it to be possible to train up effectively in preparation for the endgame. Maybe something to do with Training Sessions.

In terms of character, most of the attributes are about where I want them, might add 2 more points to Strength (70 exp), as for specialties, Brawl and canalize are the focuses for my points, hope to get to double digits for both. (468 exp) so I have a 538 exp goal, at the least, for my character.
Now for pokemon:

Spoiler

-been saving exp for Toya for the Ghost World traveling, (mentioned here) 19 more exp for that!
-move stuff for Nubi, he's the only of my main party that could use some more moves, and hopefully becomes a Mismagius soon.
-evolving Luna at some point/more exp for a couple moves, If I'd kept her on Spira, she prolly could help purge any stray spirits lurking at the destruction in Cress. Looks like Toya will hafta do some Soul Eating

Spoiler

sorry, had to make that joke.
-Eventually get Mero more exp/obedience

that's all I can think of for now.

I had a dream around 1:30am that I forgot to give XP for this, and woke up and realized it was true. Then I went back to sleep.

Haha, for real? That's a pretty cool dream, guess your subconscious mind was determined to remind you on the XP. Oh and besides, enjoy your stay at your family over the weekend -  not having to think about possibly missing something in-game grants me enough muse to get lost in the new manga volumese I'll be picking up tomorrow.

Concerning (quote you)'How's everyone doing on XP for Pokemon and player? How close are you to reaching your character stat goals?'(quote ends) the first thing that comes to my mind is that I wish for a 6th point in Channel for Shiva after having mastered a customized challenge (we've talked about that lately) and generally would like to work more on her Specialities than Skills or Attributes - but not solely, I'm interested in more Knowledge and Survival for her, possibly even 5 in both. Maybe a 4th point in Strength to have 5* with the maching Gym Badges. Concerning her Pokemon, I'll look into it and will let you know later.
