Too late,Posted something about Luna...but idk if any response was made about her so i have to ponder about that.I saw Jory's response earlier not having anything about Luna though.

He could be imagining it thinking Luna is still on his team if no one responded seeing it.

Oh yeah! Vplcarona buddy! Do you mind having Uncle Thomas show Iblis to Corona? The Larvesta hasn't met one of her kind yet ^w^

'Aye Iblis be the Ancient beast...though i'm tempted to make him an evil beast...In muslim culture iblis does mean Satan after all....

[TurboAura]

Well, since everyone else is posting the 'parents and such' teams, guess I'll do so aswell.

Will(Father):

Abyss(Jellicent M), Paul(Poliwrath), Typhoon(Gyrados), Launcher(Octillery)

Akako(Mother):

Sashi(Breloom), Chi(Medicham), Eregansu(Mienshao), Tenohira(Hariyama)

I'll leave the levels out of it, since they would be around that general level parent's pokemon would be at.

Well, i'm sure she has, what with being birthed and all...

Add the stereotypical Day Care Couple speech about 'We just don't know how it got there, but we found an egg' and the kiddies will be fine. With a breeder class, though, that is kinda an important point.

@Azery: Not every mono-fighting team needs a Machamp... Never really liked Machamp, anyway, despite my love for fighting types.

@Commander/K_H: The whole 'third line' thing was to allow either/or Kenny's Parents or Citrine through without doing any unnecessary bunnying to Louise(Snap).

He is the original fighting type.There's a reason every fighting leader has a machoke or machamp .

Regardless it's your choice.

Also put Cleaner the Garbodor in there,BEWARE ALL LITERERS FOR YOUR ENEMY HAS COME!

[Sutoratosu]

Hey, chimchain, about the whole Cubone and the Club thing...

We said it would be psychological and all and that Nemo was honestly capable of the increased attack and everything simply from his own natural potential rather than the club having an effect on his attack stat...

but I'm just curious and want to make sure I understand how it's gonna work, before he gets used in any actual battles against a another PC:

Does the psychological thing mean that Cubone and Marowak's natural base attack stat is in fact actually double what it is listed as since Thick Club doesn't increase it's attack? (EX: Marowak's base attack goes from just 80 up to 160 and Cubone's goes up from 50 to 100)

EDIT: by the way, I checked, and if that is how it's going to work, that would raise Cubone and Marowak base stat total to 370 and 505, respectively, so I don't think going about it using that explanation would result in it becoming too overpowered...

[Commander]

@Turbo: I'm trying to hold off on updates until everyone responds so that I don't have to post as much. Don't worry if you want to wait on someone else though which is also why I have certain characters wait in line to hold off on interactions.

@Stratos: First, items are allowed, but they can't have any affects on the Pokemon. Like Alvis's eviolite strapped to its leg, the thick club is more for decoration. Secondly, stats aren't that important in RPing so numbers don't make too much of a difference (it's more of a rock, paper, scissors than anything).

[Zephyrus the Priestess]

Okay, should my internet not be a donkey's butt again tomorrow, I'll be online, Arceus willing, in the morning till noontime (12 or 1 PM here, I'm GMT+8, not sure what time that'd be in your respective locations).

Also I'll probably post Raiza's parents' teams later when I feel like it, or when I choose to make them appear lol.

That's how it works. That's why he looked so powerless when the Swellow took the club.

Items aren't allowed in battle. I never thought Marowak's club counted as one so I made a change there. Avis's eviolite is removed before every battle, but it helps with endurance training.

Alright, thanks.

And @ Commander, oh yes they can, good sir... They just may not seem like it in some cases. The way i choreograph my side of any RP battle here though, I always make sure to take into account the base stat total of my own fighter and the opponent in order to be a bit realistic about the odds, unless there's a huge level gap in which case there would be no point. Like with Nemo versus Lapras.

and the Battle calculator which was suggested and some people use to figure out how much damage is inflicted by an attack so that BS doesn't happen in battles and we don't have a bunch of wail fests from people making up injury levels runs off of Base Stat totals too, so....

[Felicity]

Yeah, but there is inherent flaws to using legit calcs in an RP, due to the fact that it can make some matchups very, very boring. In the nemo versus lapras fight, Nemo should have been pulsed and bodied, case closed. Instead, without those calculations, there was a decent battle which was fun and interesting.

In the nemo versus lapras fight, Nemo should have been pulsed and bodied, case closed. Instead, without those calculations, there was a decent battle which was fun and interesting.

again, I only use them for assessing the odds and determining whether the fight will be up hill, like with Nemo, or downhill in terms of basic advantage.

And the only reason Nemo didn't go down was because Interceptions and the sort are allowed and he used Detect also to avoid most of the pulses until the end when he finally got hit. from looking at the Base Stat totals and the huge gap in between his and Lapras's, I knew that realistically it would be a hard match for Nemo to actually win without the help of something like Java and their combo move, compounded was the fact of a type disadvantage, and I knew the thing wasn't going to hold up at all if he got hit.

But I also got creative despite those odds against him; used ranged moves for interception of the Pulses, had him close his eyes against a light based attack, and finally use detect to avoid both onslaughts he was facing altogether before I finally decided to stop stalling what was inevitable and have Nemo go down in a blaze of glory.

Now, of course there's obviously a lot more that goes into a fight and choreographing it, such as the character development that can come from a win/lose and the tactics and creative (But not BS) strategies one could rely on and etc. list could go on... I'm just saying that the way I write my side of the fight, if it's equal terms in terms of leveling, then I'm going to be looking at the Base Stat total right along side Type match up as well to assess the basic odds of victory over the current opponent, just to get a feel for whether the fight will be an uphill one or not, as I said before.

whether those basic odds hold true or are beaten though, depend on a multitude of things such as type effectiveness, strategy, Creativity, weather, and a bunch of other variables to be accounted for...
