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

[Dragonstrike]

Hey @Lord Windos, what do you think of this idea for Sucker Punch?  

For the first action only, it works like it normally does in the games (allowing for nice prediction plays, albeit risky ones), then works like the book's interpretation (works as long as the target has used an attacking move previously in the Round) from Action 2 onwards.

Kind of a compromise between the in game effect and the pokerole one, and it allows Sucker Punch to be used on Action 1 if the opponent doesn't use a priority move (again, with some risk involved since you're jumping the gun with the sneak attack)

Wowzer. That battle was even more quick than I expected. That Snore scare me for a second, but gladly to know the plan work out in the end. The Prankster Hypnosis combo is pretty nasty and powerful. In terms of versatility, Nagi is among the most powerful in Kogeki side, since no matter the initiative, his support moves will always go first.

Also, you forgot the effects of Exp. Share on Pochyena, so Ed get half experience.

Just so long as I don't start throwing Dark types at you guys.

You're right.  My bad.  That means Ed gets 5, and Nagi and Shenzi get 2 and 3 (you can pick who gets which)

Since my battle end pretty quick and Shenzi didn't show all her power can I try someone in their battles? Like Karen in case she not beat Glalie?

Karen's handled Glalie off screen (I'll tell you guys the results once Medicham's done), and I think Windos has Medicham under control.  Everything's moving too quickly for any assistance to be given, really (which is a good thing!)

No need this time, but in future scenarios like this where everyone's grouped together in some manner, I'll allow it so long as the player you're helping is okay with it (as it will split the exp earned)

Also, I would to correct something: Shenzi it's not a wolf. I suppose it's more like a Yena. Since it's name is Mightyena, I suppose it is a Yena.

True, Mightyena is based partially on a hyena.  It also shares some traits with wolves, however.  Either would technically be correct, as would calling Mightyena a dog pokemon.

Well, that's another little curiosity. Although Yena looks like connected to canine family, they have more affinity to feline species, like cats, lions and other feline species.

Either Gamefreak didn't know that when they create Mightyena when they give the name "dog" Pokemon, or if they did that on purpose. So we could say Mightyena is both canine and feline. And might save Kee and Karen fear problems.

Hmm......alright, let's give that ruling a go then. I'd liked to use Sucker Punch more often than bugger all, and this change will ensure that much at least!

Also, as a general rule I don't want any help with Ran's battles unless I specifically ask for it, as I don't want to cut the XP gains anymore than I have to. XP is already tight enough when you have to worry about spending it on Moves and Stats, and Will if your desperate for some of it, so I don't want what's given out to use spread too thinnly among us, you know?

I'm not even sure what exactly you're referring to when you say 'yena' now.  Bulbapedia mentions both hyenas and wolves, though, and also mentions German Sheppards and Australian Kelpies.  I think the general consensus is that Poocheyena and Mightyena are mostly intended to be a kind of dog pokemon.  They don't exactly have very many feline features.

This is also a fairly big character thing for Karen since she ALSO has a Mightyena, and that's a pokemon that Mika chose specifically because it's a variety of dog pokemon specifically, so I'm afraid that doesn't really change anything in that regard.

Welp, I'm sensing some adequacy problems looming on Amethyst's horizon, so Ran will have to nip that in the bud sometime soon. At least she got out of that Fight okay, though, so there's that!

Medicham's going to be a Male (As I find it makes him getting ganked by females to be all the funnier) and his Boosted Attribute will be Toughness. For the Salandit (Since I might as well decide it now), their Boosted Attribute will be Beauty, as I like the thought of a metrosexual lizard that's took one look at the lower rung of the social ladder his kind usually occupies and shunning it completely (For now, anyway - let's see how that plays out when he meets Belladona)! I'm not playing on using the yoga fighter, so he's just going into the PC and will be sold later after Ran's current (in his opinion) miserable quest he's on.

Ready to move onwards to the next scene and part of the Route when you are, mates!

[Lord Windos]

Oh, and Amethyst will be out with Catherine and Zorn will be returned (Ran's not cruel/callous enough to subject them to the cold needlessly), and she'll be using Pressure to yet again raise the difficulty of future Encounters. The harder they are, the more valuable and XP rich they end up, after all!
