Veterans Azeria Posted March 31, 2015 Veterans Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Edited out the entire encounter,I'll just keep it for a bit later...i'm just not feeling it right now. Also,for a second I was wondering why metal burst was counted as an offensive move and then i saw that it's a physical attack...not sure how that works considering how it was used in the anime but anime logic. Infact....I'll just keep Rhyhorn on the sidelines for now... Just wondering,will we be having Triple battles during this tournament or any other point of this RP?

Yeah, I considered Henry battling in triple battles, but that might just be overkill for some teams. Maybe for fun, but I don't want any official triple battles because of how chaotic and messy than can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted March 31, 2015 Veterans Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Seems fine enough with Doubles,though I can see 1 or 2 Triple battles occuring in our encounters with RoG. oooooh Java.....every time I read his/her/xer's? text,i get that smug vibe from him lol...but that is the first time i see him being close to empathic lol Edited March 31, 2015 by Scublord McFoxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erce is great and all, but... the kid needs someone he can legit have a conversation with and turn to every now and again... who doesn't have to play charades in order to respond. Also, regarding the team... I just noticed that Gothitelle has access to both heal pulse and heal bell... *Begins drafting malpractice suit against Dr.Swiss...* That brings the type count up to... 3 Steel 3 Psychic 1Ground 1Normal 1Ice 1Electric To be honest, I was kinda hoping to gear him up to become a steel-type specialist someday... though I guess it could go either or just as well... or hell, maybe he could specialize in both Steel AND Psychic types...yeah, I'm liking that one... can work just as well. I like it very much in fact, so that's what I'll do... a hard outer shell and a strong mind/ a bunch of psychological and emotional shit bubbling under the surface... see? the metaphors even go along nicely with the two of them together. BTW, Gothitelle's line gets Meganium line's place in the year one planned roster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veterans Azeria Posted March 31, 2015 Veterans Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) ..RIP Dr Swiss but now.....since i won't be having Rhyhorn for year one and Spiritomb/Haunter take the last slot....I have the choice between Kusariga and.....Rubix... I think Rubix could pull in a shiton of Shenanigans however,so I think going with him would be better...forrrr noowwwww. Also,When in doubt,ignore dual type of your specialty.

Sutoratosu Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wants t o specialise in steel and spychic, doesn't use either of the two species to mix both types. Reasons why no Metagross Don't feel like making a unique persona for it since another PC already has one we do not use Psuedo legendaries on team Akira. Period. Those members on it are not naturally endowed with high power- they instead gain it through endeavor and through strengthening the bonds they share with one another- in other words, joining the family, fire emblem style, is ultimately what makes them powerful in the end, not psuedo legend status. Reasons why no Bronzong That, and... honestly, they have to have roles outside of battle as well as in it, and Java can fullfill a metagrosses potential functions outside of battle just as well, if not a bit better even, due to his ability to go inside computer and electronic systems. And Bronzong... really would have no use to Mareek out of combat... or in it, to be honest. And his and JAva's relationship is going to mirror that of two other individuals with connections to his past... i've already introduced one of them- back in the very first IC post I ever made for this...

Jory Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Jacob's team has also undergone some pretty extensive overhaul. He'll be taking a team that goes along with his career goals.

I wonder... could Java... go INSIDE a metagross's head? just a weird ass thought... that and... Java can talk. even though it's a super computer, Metagross despite being featured numerous times, has never once displayed or been implied to have communication skills with humans... maybe it's just a failure of gamefreak logic though, since neither has the porygon line to be honest, but since their claimed habitats is inside labs and buildings assisting human scientist... i just went with something that logically probably be a trait that was needed in order to facilitate such a niche- IE, java can talk using screens and other such things...

Veterans Azeria Posted March 31, 2015 Veterans Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) ..Holy Shit.....Java and Rotom inside a Metagross's head.....imagine them taking controll of it...Java would explode from all the info while rotom would create unstoppable havoc... Also,Metagross considering its extreme intelegence(This could go for Alakazam aswell)could use telepathy and it wouldnt be too weird lol.

Zephyrus the Priestess Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Similar actually,Shade evolves at 37 and then again at 47(Because of the 7-10 level gap needed). Raiza has it the worst however. Her starter reaches its fully evolved state at a whopping 51 while Deino evolves at 64.. Her starter is a Litwick though. ... yeah I didn't think this through did I ._. Eh, it doesn't really bother me much. I still need to develop Lucifer's darker personality to fit his becoming a Chandelure. And anyway I still don't have a concrete final set or plans for them at the moment... I just figure that Rogue's not going to evolve either till she gets to somewhere like level 47, which is where her natural learnset stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 ya know, I'm a damn fool sometimes, dancing mad across a barren wasteland of boredom... I just realized that Gothitelle's prescence makes both delphi and Melisandre... unnecessary on the team... sigh *gives Azelstan order 66* So Delphi's going along with swiss to become exiles... she'll likely be replaced with claydol because- Claydol gets TP, and can levitate, so... Melisandre on the other hand... she may yet survive the purging- given she IS the only fire type on the team... HOWEVER. There IS another... ------> Him... this one's ability of Zen Mode... coupled with his access to bellydrum as a level up move... and good defenses and superior offense AND defense capabilities *chuckles maniacally as he sends away Melisandre too* yes... I'm a damn fool sometimes... but this, was not one of them. Here, take an updated trainer card for his final main team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Zerron, I just want to give you one really, really good piece of advice just in case you didn't realize it. Zen Mode Darminitan can't use physical attacks. It is the equivalence of a statue so if you are relying on Belly Drum for something other than Activating Zen Mode, you might want to reconsider movesets. Oh I'm gonna leave how Henry catches Rotom a surprise. But I'll start it either tonight or tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm...sorry? so it CAN use physical moves, but yet I should reconsider the moveset? just think that was all worded kinda weird, lols EDIT: I'm shitting ya, I know what you mean, and honestly, even as a staute there are still moves it can make sense for it to still be able to use, like roll out, superpower, smack down, rock tomb, stone edge, rock slide, zen headbut... mostly ranged physical moves or physical moves that have some ranged firing method- IE, indirect physical moves. plus, honesty... how hard would it be for the thing to pick itself up with telekinesis (Pychic) in order to close the distance for something like Zen Headbutt? I got this stuff worked out... EDIT2: God fucking damn it... just took another look at the page... but ya know what? can still justifiably use indirect moves... he'll be like a turret. Or maybe I'll opt for work up instead... EDIT3: Screw it, where's melisandre? she can have her slot back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Zerron, and now you know why I said screw you Darmanitan and went with Camerupt as my tank. I actually deviated to Magmortar because it really suits Henry's battle style. The reason I can say quite a bit about Fire types is because I was looking for one to effectively use Sunny Day to the fullest. I picked one pokemon each to use one of the four weathers as I though nobody would want to try those out. I'm still going to use them, but Sun might eventually get booted off of Magmortar after a certain point. Edit: And now I'm speaking gibberish again. Oh joy (at least it's in the right language).

Sutoratosu Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 You c9uld just go Sheer Force Darmanitan. yeah, but it would be a glass cannon... a big glass cannon, but still glass nonetheless.

Commander Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 yeah, but it would be a glass cannon... a big glass cannon, but still glass nonetheless. Yeah, I'll just go with the Vixen fox like originally planned... So Ninetales... I'm kidding. Eh, I wouldn't be too concerned picking the right Pokemon, but the Pokemon you want to use because you might be able to do more with it than you think. I mean if I can figure out a way for Burrows to hit an Aerial bird without ranged attacks, anything is possible. Pretty sure Henry's team is locked in at this point (there's really not much else to be switched or adjusted), but I'm not too sure who to run as the sixth. I mean all ten will get their moments, but I kind of can use just about any of the remaining five on Henry's team. Kind of want to see which one you want to see Henry use first: Gladius (Ralts) Hotshot (Magby) Raphael (Squirtle) Lilium (Petelil) Frostbite (Eevee/Glaceon) Just a note: not all the names are final, but it's just to give you a quick glimpse of their personalities. Petelil will be called Lilium (or Lilly for short) officially. I will give props to anyone who can figure out why I called her that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted April 1, 2015 Veterans Share Posted April 1, 2015 I've got a few more guys to figure out,but Rubix and Legion are pretty much set in stone.....and everyone except Rhyhorn is still fair game.Soo by the end of year one,the team will be:Dusknoir,Ferrothorn,Dragonair,Lampent/Chandelure,Golduck and Spiritomb....Just wondering how to initiate Spiritomb event.

Veterans Azeria Posted April 1, 2015 Veterans Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well,I had plans for Mono ghost,but I decided to just have Ghost be the primary type while the others help to evade the weaknesses of said type.
