Well, as I made Claude suggest, asking Evan out-right might be a good idea. Honesty is good Mmmkay kids? plus it'd make sure Evan desn't feel like a suuspect and be isolated even more, pushing him to RoG more

Guh, more pokethemes...

Claude nodded. His mind went back to the conversation he had once butted into between Henry and Mareek in regards to evil teams. "We should probably also find Henry. I know that he also has some stake in Team activities like Mareek. We might also want to be direct and just ask about Evans fifth, rather than risk a big misunderstanding with everyone" Claude suggested as he wondered what Evan might have to do with the Stampede as well as how Mareek and Henry would react to the speculation. He also worried about what would happen if Ryan found out that Evans Skarmory really was the Skarmory Kage had seen...When had Claude gotten so many people to care about?

Whoops. mighta already tried to have Karrin drag Nina away...

Karrin was kinda hurt that her new "Partner" had evidently forgotten her existence, but she didn't let it bother her. Much. "We could, or we could go explore the school while we get to know each other~ Now c'mon!" Karrin suggested. It was a rather forceful suggestion as she grabbed Ninas hand and practically started yanking the girl out the door to have a look around.

Look at it though. It has bunny ears.

Still teeny ass pieces of bread.

ummm, i'm aorry I gotta say something. Sev, can you tone vivi down a bit? You've been playing very, very erratically and whilst that may be a part of her character, it's been making things very difficult to follow. Especially when Vivi bounces around the room so quickly it makes the chronological order of actions and speech confusing

Dark, I'd say reuniclus :S. The Psychic bunny just fits. I mean, look at it's sprite, it looks so happeh

Those are some teeny ass pieces of bread

Hey, I've tried innovating with mons, instead of going with Top tier abusable mons. I mean, my starter when evolved hasn't ever made it above RU iirc in competitive, but Doux is still my bae. Then there's Lance, which is NU/RU iirc and Colere, a UU mon. I think, i'm not very versed in tiers aside from OU and those are mons i've rarely seen in OU nor BL

That's fine Huk, but so far Karl feels like a much more resentful character than I thought. He didn't have to face too much prejudice from his fellow villagers cuz they were all used to him, he's led a sheltered life from people who would see him as weak

Karl was incensed, he didn't want to fight Lucia, why the hell could he not be taken seriously, even despite his size? He was capable in his own way, he'd proven that time and again. He had dancing skills that literally made people feel better, not just mentally. Karl decided he'd rather get it all over with quickly, thrusting his sword at Lucia quickly, without a word. He certainly wasn't gonna treat this like a duel with all the formalities

It is in all honesty an example of both good world building, because it is indeed fantastic, but also an example of too much detail. that's all. I didn't just point you out for a negative reason.

aren't they like, 5 foot tall or something like that? With the wingspan, that makes em pretty freaking big

Mmmmk, so this time I'm going to look at another genre i'm fairly familiar with and is popular as a sub-genre Fantasy. For this, i'm not going to bother going in-depth into terms like light-fantasy, dark-fantasy etc. That said, we still need to define what the Genre is. Personally, when I refer to the idea of fantasy, I think of the standard DnD rendition of Sword & Sorcery, brimming with many different environments and cultures that basically don't include technology we see in this world barring some strange form of magic as a substitute in a few uncommon cases. More common features of this genre is some form of patriarchy/aristocracy and medieval themes as well as some classic environments like City slums, palaces of the nobles, small villages and the like. Common character archetypes are Wizards and warriors, rogues and priests that worship the worlds god, because more oft than not their is a religious presence in these works. Now, this genre is very popular because of how malleable it is for the creator. You can essentially break down physics if you wanted, replacing it all with magic or some such far-fetched idea that is infeasible in a lot of other settings. You can also fill this new world with a variety of cultures and races as you see fit, though a lot of people stick to the standard Human/Elf/Dwarf trio a lot perhaps including other common races as they want. Note: sometimes fantasy themes are used as an overlay for a story set in the real world, for those who don't want to start from scratch, but want to introduce fantastical new themes. See The Dresden files for an example of an Urban Fantasy This, as I've noticed myself, is very satisfying for the creator because it is your own sandbox for you to do with as you please. The question this raises is, should you? To answer that, a problem with this genre is the same as it's strength. Sometimes a writer can go overboard and sometimes break their own rules in the world or create contradictions. Depending on how big and detailed you go, the more chance there is it can be inconsistent. For example, someone plots out this big hierarchy/ feudal system between noble houses in their world. A character could potentially do something small that would normally set off a big chain reaction in that system but due to the small nature of the action it would be ignored, creating an inconsistency that nobody likes and also threatens the integrity of the world you have bult as these inconsistencies pile up. Another, probably better example, is throwing in too many noble houses to the point where there's too much to reasonably consider for the reader. I know people who struggle with reading Game of Thrones, one of the most popular Fantasy based series in recent times, because they can't keep track of the details between different houses. How is this problem overcome? There are a variety of different ways to overcome this. You can create general guidelines for the world that everyone know, then start writing from a singular perspective. Whilst this limits the amount of the world your audience sees, it gives the writer breathing room to fix any wrongs they otice along the way because no matter how much you look it over, you do find things wrong with a world because the issue just doesn't occur to you. This genre is also very popular due to how well it works with other genres, including Action, romance, mystery, alternative history or supernatural (Supernatural and fantasy seem to be the same due to the similar use of monsters such as vampires, werewolves etc, but don't be mistaken, they aren't the same thing. Mainly because supernatural creatures have some basis in folklore/myth to my knowledge whereas fantasy need not stick to such sources). You can build a framework for your story influenced by Fantasy, then bulk it up with other genres. For very quick examples, go look at the RPs PSS: Project Sky Slayer by Stratos and currently hosted by Lt. Surge as I type this or Graterras by Hukuna. Each bear traits of the Fantasy genre that are fairly easy to spot in the world building.

Woah, did I lose track of partners too? I thought Surge and Sev were partners O/O

Oh crap sorry >.< realised I forgot Emberly I'm just very confused about where people are and who'd talking to who etc. We need a reset for everyone to be in class dammit! then we know where peeps are!

You might also consider Medicham for a Fighting/Psychic type.

Karl stared blankly at Lucia. "No. Now get out of the way before one of us jabs you. The good commander here has decided I'm not good in a fight, I need to prove otherwise to him against HIM, no one else. Sorry, you'll have to wait your turn love" Karl was angry now. What, was he someone so frail he hadn't even the right to even try and fight someone stronger than him? To the point where a random stranger thought this? No, whatever happened, he had to fight Virgil now. Like hell was he gonna be looked down on, at least metaphorically if not literally.

Awww, no more Cuddles with the cute little Larvesta :c

"Creative indeed" Karl immediately kicked up some earth into Virgils eyes, not hesitating for a moment, lest anyone sway him from the actually fighting as he hopped a couple of steps to Virgils right, swinging his sword lightly at his side, keeping a watchful eye on the mans sword. If this gets him, i'm ditching this cause here and now. No way am I working under someone so easy to dupe.

Part of it is just using mons throughout a game that you just wouldn't see in that game. I can't remember ever using a starly ingame outside of 4th gen, the damn birds never appeared otherwise not post game. It jus lets you use interesting and wierd mons

As important as the PC. Doux because, well, Claude would either be dead or very unhappily in the closet. The mons can help reflect certain aspects of a PC and help promote development in a lot of different ways. I'd like to think I've done that fairly well by introducing Lancelot and Colere. Also, Claudes main interactions with Evan have been fairly short, the recent argument probably being the most words they've spoken. Geez Chim, give Claude a chance to make Evan sparkle
