[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Spiritmon]

Awesome! We can finally continue our journey.

[Dragonstrike]

As a reminder, these were the teams I saw you guys had set earlier for the first set of encounters on the coming routes, quoted directly from the posts I found them in:

Karen

-Magneton (Metal Coat)
-Nidorina (Poison Barb)
-Lopunny (Loppunnite) [Indeed, it's great Klutz doesn't prevent Mega Stones from working!]
-Aspid (Expert Belt)
-Lotus (Big Root)
-Mightyena (Razor Fang)

Kee

His party consists of Octavia (by his side), Stella (in his arms), Yurei (sleeping in her DuskBall), Core (blasting his ears off with the new playlist), Mercury (humming and flicking his tail to keep the beat) and Draven (by Kee's other side).

Kogeki

- For Pokemon Party: Gama (Kings Rock), Susano (Life Orb), Nagi (Leftlovers), Aspido (Sitrus Berry), Ed the Pochyena (Exp. Share) and Shenzi the Mightyena (Shell Bell).

Randolph

As for Ran's Pokemon Abilities for the Day (And his Default Line Up):
- Zorn and Brigid are going back to using Sheer Force and Drought, respectively. He feels that his juggernaut drake will be needing to be extra brutish today, and his coal muncher will be out and about outside today, so their should be little worry about it being unusable this time!
- Boreas will keep Soundproof as its Ability for the day, as Routes 216 and 217 already have Hail Weather as their default clime, so therefore he has little need to set it himself. This will probably backfire on me in some way, but hey, at least SP lets them be a great partner for Beethoven! He'll also be taught Blizzard via TM, as he'd be able to best put it to use more often than not and because Ran wants to show the little Christmas tree he's serious about making them big and great like their former bosses!
- Absol's Ability will be Pressure, as both they and Ran would want to ward off at least some of the small fry on the Routes ahead, and do a better job of scaring the beejezus out of those left that DARE challenge them.
- Everyone else will have the same Abilities they've had as always.
- Ran's line up for the future: Diam (Sablenite), Beethoven (Silk Scarf), Catherine (Life Orb), Boreas (Rocky Helmet), Absol [Name Pending] (Leftovers), and Brigid (Charcoal)

It's been about a month and a lot's happened since some of these lineups were posted, so feel free to edit them if needed before I start to roll out the encounters.

Also, @Lord Windos, if you want to use Pressure to up the difficulty of any upcoming wild pokemon encounters, let me know before I post the set. (I'll reroll the difficulty of easy wild pokemon encounters)

[Lord Windos]

Kee's looking to give Ran a Male Salandit? Bloody heck, that's a BRILLIANT idea, dear! He'd certainly be interested in them once he's given some Insight on the fuming lizard, and another Fire type to use out in the cold tundra is always appreciated! If you can, try to find a Male that's a bit better than usual, but if you can't I and he will be happy either way!

Also, sorry for not responding most of last evening, mates. Stayed up all night to get a project completed, then passed out around 5 PM CST. Won't be able to post right this red hot second either, as I got to pack and organize stuff for my trip back to my grandparents for Fall Break. Sorry sorry sorry!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Aww, I guess you misunderstood things a little, dear... Kee's thinking about getting a male Salandit for himself to give it a chance, not to give it away to someonelse. Sorry! (>_<; ) These poisonous lizards fit his person so well, that's why.

Ah. *Shrugs* Well, in that case, okay then. If the breeder's practically giving the Males away, you could still get one for Ran too, though. It probably wouldn't cost the musician much more , and the gesture would only improve our chara's relations with each other.

@Dragonstrike, does 'recently hatched' mean that Salandit starts off with 2/2 in Happiness/Loyalty to Kee since hatched Pokemon usually have 3/3 to their hatcher? I also need respective Bonus Attribute (if I'm allowed to choose, it'll be Smart because it's a clever lizard) and how much Will Points he has. For Nature, picking Rash unless you want to roll for it. This can wait though because I'm off for the night in a little.

My bad!  Been awhile, so mistakes are bound to be made, obviously.

Yes, 2/2 for H/L.

Picking Nature and bonus Attribute is fine.

Starts with 5 Will points.

[Lord Windos]

Uh....Phantom, since Male Salandits with no Surprises! are free, couldn't you also get one for Ran too? It literally costs Kee nothing, and I'd quite like to have one to play around with on occasion. Heck, Ran could probably use them to help make Belladona happier by 'giving' them a Poisonous minion she could boss around that doesn't mind her Stench too much!

Woowee, it's been that long, eh? Well, the game's been on hold for a good reason and we've had plenty of fun with Iron's campaign in the meantime, so I guess that isn't such a bad waiting period. Time does fly when you're having fun, and abscene does make the heart grow fonder, right? Now that I'm done catching up and refreshing my knowledge on what's happen (and refreshing myself with some much needed sleep!) and what my chara is planning to do, I'm ready to start posting ASAP!

Ran's team has changed a bit, with Diam getting switched out for Zorn and him getting to hold the Life Orb (Due to Diam's prank going off WAY too well), while Catherine gets to hold a Sitrus Berry instead. And yes, Ran will have Amethyst use Pressure to up the difficulty of upcoming Encounters along the snowy Routes, as he rather not have his time wasted by small fries harrying the group.

Encounter-wise, though,  Phantom and Spirit agreed to delay leaving Snowpoint for one so that Ran has time to build that Robo Prosthetic for Kogeki and get it attached with the help of the Nurse and Kee can program it, so technically the ninja and Karen have at least one free Encounter to do whatever in the city in the meantime. Right, Dragonstrike....?

Also, this is old news, but if you ever want to use that old Ice Font Color you like Dragonstrike, just look up a post that has it and choose to quick edit it. You'll find what [] holds the color pretty easy then, and can copy it down so you can use it however you like!

Okey dokey.  Annnnd...rerolled the easy encounters' difficulty in the first set once each!

The time's mostly been spent preparing for the trip ahead IC, and at this point, I'd (ooc) rather save rolling out battles for when we're on the routes themselves (cuz you can bet there's going to be a lot of pokemon based encounters coming up).  I'd like to get to some actual story progress soon here, and not have a few players waiting on those doing encounters because encounters aren't currently being rolled simultaneously. 

I'll get to rolling out the prosthetic crafting before you guys leave, though.  There's definitely enough time for that.
