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

[Spiritmon]

Dragonstrike, could I ask you a favor?

What kind of favor?  Is it something that needs to be discussed in a PM?

Nah, It can be discussed here. Heart probably gonna need to restore the people who get Kadabrazite and break some curses to get Doublade worth. I could use some help to quickly the effects. Although 7 Pointspl in Earthpower is probably more than enough.

My other favor I wanted to ask it's some sword training. Nathan have a sword, but he could get a practice play. And I could give Doublade some training too. What you think? No Pokemon. Just us and our Legendary swords.

Besides, this could give a different set of battle instead of the Pokemon battles.

That'd take a looooooot of time to pull off if it's at the slow rate that it took to restore Marco.  3 days at minimum per Kadabra, and there's just over 2 dozen of them just from the ones we faced alone, so that'll take over 3 months of in game time if done by yourself.  The remaining Kadabra that weren't captured also need to be rounded up still, which is also going to take some time.  Nathan would be more than happy to help out to halve the time it would take, but until he has 5 points in Earthpower (he currently has 0), he'll be stuck watching.


First Terra, now Heart...well, let me say one thing about the Sword: it's not exactly a training weapon unless you're training to deal with PDD.  Nathan's also not really an expert swordsman himself (Gallade technically is, but his fighting style is VERY different from using a typical bladed weapon since his are attached to his elbows)

Practice might be a good thing should Nathan start swinging the Sword himself alongside powering up pokemon, but he'd probably need to get a practice weapon in that case.  Either way, somebody would likely be at a disadvantage (for the near future, anyways.  We still don't know the full capabilities of an Aegislash, after all)

Heart is stronger now. It would also go faster the more mystics you have helping.
There's also the Syrentide who can heal them for Energy.

[Lord Windos]

Since I'm in a bit of a time bind right now, I'll say right here that Terra would want the Medal of Bravery (He's a Battler more than a Researcher!), and he'd politely request Keni focus on the Syrentide's Domain Card. That's it, so off I go!

What goals do people's mons still need to meet before you're ready for the E4? (who are not diceless).

There won't be time to grind up any new mons, but I am thinking about how to get your favorite mons in E4 shape.

First and foremost, Primal Espeon shall pick up that lie-detecting skill with the help of Riffke, then become a Primal Jolteon and learn at least one good Electric Type move. Maybe a likely costy Suprise if there's enough time.

There are a few moves I still wish for Kyuu to learn, and Yena's lacking some more moves that benefit of his additional Strong Jaw Ability. Those are tutor-exclusive though.

Probably a few Suprises on frequently-used Pokemon of Shiva, and/or moves that can only be tutored either by her of professional Movetutors.

Shiva definitely needs and wishes to collect the missing Gym Badges for the +1 point on her Attributes, because I think those are finished XP-wise and I'll focus on Specialities now. She does not plan to just fly over Borealis Road because if possible, I'd like to explore and experience that place, it's pretty much the last skipping stone before Shiva's take on the E4.

I think I also wanted to try training up and bonding with a few less-frequently-used Pokemon Shiva's gotten, but solely for enjoyment and diverstion and not with the intention to have them participate. Alola-Vulpix, Luxi and Klefki are examples.

Get badges, find that guy Cosh mentioned, break Kadabra curse, fight against the left Gym Leaders, get some experience of my Pokemon. Get Beldum with the breeder people and the other Beldum to fuse with Metang.

Aside from getting the expensive version of the Strong Jaw surprise for Neura, pretty much done with customizing my pokemon

[Iron]

Any Gym leader who isn't Dagny, Angela, or Tanuki will be handled dicelessly. You guys can stomp them.

With FLY, it's pretty easy to get to tutors and such. You'll have lots of money coming in soon, and you have a lot already, so you can obtain TMs and tutoring for money rather than XP or questing.

Story stuff isn't what I'm asking about here, but mostly trying to figure out how to handle XP.

One option is to give big chunks of XP whenever you achieve a story goal, or to just handwave it and give people a set amount of XP to finish off their teams, or maybe set up some kind of system where there are lots of very good move tutors and you can just spend money to finish perfecting your pokes.

I'm away from dice right now but I've got Spira's battle bookmarked. I haven't forgotten it.
