Sutoratosu Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Holy mother of god... soldiers, I just looked at Slaking... This... this thing... is a freaking monster when it gets up off it's ass and actually does something... all this time, I never even noticed, to think it's base stat total are the same as groudon and kyogre... now I understand why it has such a horrid ability.... He is the king kong of the pokemon verse. I'm not gonna lie... I'm considering this guy to replace D-nite. ways can be found to turn his ability from a weakness into a strength, I'm sure... just have to get creative... probably very creative. Still looking for Murica-bird's replacement. I don't really want Mareek to have a skarmory because... well, there's probably gonna be issues down the line with hard feelings and bad memories from others depending on what chim has planned for us all, and as for Sigilyph... I don't think so either...just doesn't feel like it fits right. But King kong here though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chim Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Do you still want a Flying type as Braviary's replacement? Maybe Gliscor or Tropius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted February 23, 2015 Veterans Share Posted February 23, 2015 50% of the time Slaking does nothing...the other 50? Well lets just say that no survivors where left to tell the tale of what happens then ;3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chim Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Btw about that Skarmory; I don't really mind if a PC wants to take care of it. At this point Evan would be willing to trade it. I just looked for something that could pack some power early on (without using it) and that looks a little more intimidating compared to the rest of Evan's team. Skarmory just fit the bill but that doesn't mean it will stay around for the entire story. It just helps to start the actual plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Surge, I have the perfect Pokemon for you Delibird Drifblimb will work well for you. If you really, really feel like you need it, I'll drop Aerodactyl and find a replacement for it, but like I said, most of my development for each Pokemon is complete. Swellow really, really underrated and useful if you want that instead. Tropius might be your best bet. As for whoever said Sunflora, I would totally use it, but Cherrim fits so much better on my team overall. @Chim: Err....I'm really tempted to take it. I know you all love Paradox, but Jory has a Togetic too...GAAAAAAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in that case... maybe Mareek would be willing to take it in depending on what happens. I mean if Evan made it clear he wants nothing to do with the thing, he'd likely say "Screw it" and take the trade since he's the one who more or less convinced him to even keep it in the first place... plus, if he were to find out about the whole Ryan's death prediction thing... well, if the bird was in the hands of the general pc group, it'd be easier to monitor, wouldn't it? at least, that would be his reasoning... It would really just be a charity case like Nemo was honestly, since he would feel kinda shitty about having let the thing enter into that situation...encase it hasn't been demonstrated too often, Mareek has somewhat of a softspot for broken and downtrodden things- like Tyrion Lanister @Commander, I'm not too sure about D-blim, soldier... never really been too high in my regards... (Pun intended) EDIT: Actually... driftblim might do it... interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so either...just doesn't feel like it fits right. But King kong here though... It's kind of like this with Ash's Charizard from the anime. Not only can Ash's C-zard easily beat up opponents that have an advantage, but it also tends to sit around lazily on its rear when it doesn't deem its' Opponent worthy. On a second note, I'd be willing to take on the Skarmory. Kenny would also be more willing than the other PCs to take care of the Skarmory, since he doesn't know about Ryan's Death Scene.

Veterans Azeria Posted February 23, 2015 Veterans Share Posted February 23, 2015 Neither does Mareek tbh and considering his team..it'd work kinda better for him though it'd work Well with Herny aswell XD James'll just have pokemon with Dark reputations for now....(Don't look at me like that,Dragonite's have Destructive outrages that make them feared)Ferrothorn drops down from ceilings to kill it's prey Dusknoir is...well you know what it does and the rest are quite obvious on how dangerous they are.

(Pun intended) Evan still has doubts. He knows helping RoG isn't the way to go and I wanted to show that by giving him some more dialogue with Jaime, but Dobby beat me to it. I'm still figuring out how he would react to Claude's approach. And he feels bad for the bird. He's not dumb so he knows there's a reason why it's so attached to him, but since he doubts himself, he also doubts if he's the right trainer to take care of Skarmory. If Claude tells him that Skarmory is going to kill Ryan in the future he might think it's because he let it come that far.

Support Squad Felicity Posted February 23, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted February 23, 2015 That's why I worded it as I did, Claudes uncertain on all the specifics anyway, he has only discussed it (Presumably) Once, maybe twice. I hope Evan doesn't get real defensive and suspicious >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If Surge doesn't want it, I can drop either Aerodactyl or Togekiss and take in Skarmory. I feel either of those two makes sense seeing as Skarmory is attached a bit to Mareek and Henry...do I even need to explain. @Surge: Henry would, but he still doesn't know a Skarmory is behind the murder. If he saw the Skarmory, he wouldn't believe it, especially since it is Evan they're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted February 23, 2015 Veterans Share Posted February 23, 2015 The only actual facts we have is that it has to be somewhere on a mountain since the Region has a really warm Climate so it could possibly be on another one of these trips..?

So in actuality, this could just as easily happen no matter what side Skarmory is on... And that's even scarier, the fact that the 'one pivotal point' that's been targeted may have the same chance either way.

Like I said, Mareek will probably end up agreeing to something and taking it onto his own team out of a pity case like he did when he found Nemo being harassed by the Swellow. He has... somewhat of a particular soft spot in his heart for individuals that have been wronged and victimized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_H Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Guys, the scenery might not even mean anything so literal. The mountains might actually be more symbolic, rather than where it happens. that implication is even scarier, because not only would we not know who exactly is implicated, we wouldn't know where it happens!

Commander Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 K_H, let my try to explain visions to you a bit better. It will take place in a cold climate as that's where the event took place. What exactly will happen is still uncertain. For example, before the vision was seen, an Electivire could've been responsible for the death. Since the future was then seen, it already changed, even just a little bit. Now, it's known that a Skarmory was seen at the crime and it's assumed it was responsible for attacking Ryan. Because this is now know, a different outcome will happen. Even handing the Skarmory over to Henry (even though it's probably going to be Mareek), may not change the future. Perhaps he's the one who attacked Ryan creating that scene. (Now that I think about it, I could see him doing that...not saying why though). In the end, the event is going to happen even if you change something. @Azery: Rarely are things so black and white. That's all I can say on the matter.

Galen wouldn't... tch, please, Electivire, enough men have already fallen by it's hands... (One to be exact..but still too many), and the Eldest Sisto son isn't exactly all too willing or eager to go adding onto the body count... but then again... that electric type has a mind and will completely of it's own...
