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

[Lord Windos]

Oof.  Just got home from work.  Give me some time to catch up.

....I can feel the tiredness and stress from you, mate, and that is across the keyboard and interweb. Take a couple hours of rest if you have to before posting, 'cause I don't want to see you burning yourself out, if possible!

Oh yeah, I'll probably be taking a break soon enough.  Gonna be hanging out with some of my irl friends this evening.  Thank goodness I don't have work tomorrow.

Not gonna let that stop me from posting if I have time to spare, though!

It's undeniably my favorite Stat, even if mostly because what is possible with it outside of battling. And I'm finding it interesting that apart from Ventus I'm the only who's been serious about+working on it from an early point on maxing it out. ^^

Fielding three Pokemon at once is kind of a legendary move. Something a Marco Warren or Dagny might do.

:O Now I want Shiva to carefully try that at some point too, but preferably in a safe scenario where experiementing won't fire back at you at twice the force.

I wanted Ven to be an INS focused chara. at the start, but then I figured out I liked battling/him being a morally dubious individual, so him being especially Insightful became less of a priority beyond VIT (Still focused on using INS as much as possible, though!). Had I realized the hidden power of INS, though, I probably had him exploit it more often in the wild or non-League Battles , but hey, hindsight is 20/20. 

Problem with fielding +3 Pokemon is that unless you have a Plot Device on your chara or you exclusively train with three specific Pokemon enough that they can battle together seamlessly, you'll never be able to entirely eliminate the inherent risk/cost of fielding 3 or more Pokemon at once. Moreover, the times you would want to utilize that strategy is when up against a especially Dangerous foe, so using/experimenting in other situations is sort of superfluous. Still, if you shan't field three Pokemon in the upcoming battle, I'm not going to judge you harshly, so you do you dear!

On the note of my chara, I don't think I'll go beyond 3 INS until I max out Nature and/or Channel, as I want to get those Specialties finished beyond I move on to other things. Terra was never meant to be super smart/Insightful, so don't worry about him suddenly becoming a brainiac/super wise guy and fielding three Pokemon to CRUSH everything in his path. Speaking of specialties, has his Nature sense found anything useful beyond/besides the KCs, Iron?

After such touch scene of bonding, I definitely would want that Lord Pokemon on Heart side since he felt Heart Soldier Bloodline. It is possible @Iron to Confragius join Heart without a fight?

Also people, should I use the keys to open the door? That evilly smile makes me a little worry.

I think Iron was referring to the group as a whole when he said 'you'.

It could be. It will depend on what you offer it, and how this fight goes.

People, I will begin to work today on a job of selling products today, with 6 hours of job today, so I might not able to post with much frequently as before.

I was wondering when Genesect would be incorporated into the plot.

Well, shit.

Game over, guys? 'Cause I don't recall any clues as to how to take down a Genesect, other than trying to ROCK SMASH and FLASH it, clench our butoxes, and pray for a miracle!

Unless.....Ven's book and what we already learned about Genesect could help......hmm.....

Iron, have a question: Can Oinari see outside her Pokeball? As in, see Genesect? If all else fails.....well, Terra can certainly serve as a distraction once more.

[Iron]

Yep, there's precedent that Pokemon can see outside their balls in this campaign.

Okay! 

So, mates......you got a plan here, beyond a slug fest? Because if a slug fest is all we have, I'm going to pull a Shirou Emiya with my character to buy the group time/the opportunity for the group to either get away, get the treasure, or a free chance to exploit an opening.

Maybe Terra didn't dodge his Death Flag after all - he only delayed it. 

Speaking on Mythics, is my chara. picking up anything from them? I ask because Deoxys did something with his head, so I'm not sure how he would perceive other Legends/Mythics.
