....is someone else actually using gravity?

If so that makes me happy since it can pretty much make stuff like Sharpedo literraly be a fish out of water(Unless it's constantly using surf)

It also make guys like Doux and Java sitting ducks(Which is ironic since Java IS a duck)

if anything it'd just turn Doux into a marathon runner with a dust storm behind his back, propelled along the ground with the Fairy Wind at his back.

[Commander]

Honestly, I don't think it'd really effect Henry's Pokemon all that much. Sure Techie, Gypsy, and Paradox would all be forced to the ground, but they still have ways to move around. Gravity just makes it harder to move, not make them permanently stick to the ground.

[Azeria]

You just made me imagine a Whimsicott running a marathon.......Better put up Trick Room while i'm at it

I can't see a Venomoth moving besides flight and as shown here flight is disabled under gravity lol.

they still have legs. Besides, wind moves can still provide, er, horizontal movement. Kinda like a hang-glider.

This. Dobby has the right idea. Just because it's harder for someone to use something doesn't automatically mean you can't use it.

[Azeria]

Wait,those things are legs? ._.

I thought they were small claws or something leftover from it's time as a Venonat lol.

[Chim]

So me and my bucket of nuts (yes, literally) finally caught up in the OOC. Why do you all get naughty when I'm not around though?

Anyway here we go. I'll try to answer most questions at once (aka the ones I can remember)

@Dobby: Tses isn't returning and neither is Snap. They both went MIA WITHOUT saying anything. At this point I'm not really inclined to let them back in as their characters can easily become one of the many students. So I suggest you don't look at anything what they had planned when it comes to the team you want to use and go ahead with whatever you want.

@OP moves in general: this one is easy. If I don't like the way you are using it, I'm stepping in and let your Pokémon faint. Simple and effective. If things keep up, the Pokémon will be taken away. I can't go check all possible moves and put them into categories and I don't want to do that either. It would only make things much more confusing. But the example Commander used 'Your attack did over half my Pokémon's LP so I can one-shot you' is not acceptable. I can decrease the power but if people use their common sense I won't need to.

@Moves that don't make sense: Since when did GF ever make sense? Just keep things how they are without turning everything into science. For one it gives me a headache since I'm not good when it comes to physics or science. Secondly if you can come up with an explanation that makes sense and you want to use it (to help with training, description in a battle, ...) go ahead and do it. If you aren't, just drop it.

And one more thing: I remember Azery once mentioned moves like Fissure and I banned them. Well, I'm not going to ban them. In fact they are usable and this is how they work:

- Explosion and Selfdestruct: Kill the user. Literally. No way back. And they harm the opposing Pokémon as well.

- Fissure, Guilotine, every other OHKO move: Kill your opponent. Literally. No way back. And they do a lot of damage to the user as well, knocking them out but not killing them. You can't use it for a longer period so basically you are crippling your own Pokémon.

Of course if a student uses them they will be kicked out and they will never get their trainer license.

[Sutoratosu]

Hmmm... gravity also gives me another method to kill the bastard with- if applied in a focused enough area for a long enough time... he goes squash like a grape.

nah, gotta be quick and painless- and the man who gives the sentence should be the same who swings the sword afterwards...

Wait,those things are legs? ._.

I thought they were small claws or something leftover from it's time as a Venonat lol.

And yes, Azery.

Venomoth is an insectoid creature with a light purple body. It has bulbous, round eyes with large pupils and a small mandible. Its thorax is paler with several black, zigzagging stripes running across the horizontal length. It has six short legs and a three-point crest on its head. Its two pairs of wings are covered in dust-like, purple scales that vary in color depending on their toxic capability. Dark scales are poisonous, while lighter scales can cause paralysis. These scales are released when Venomoth flutters its wings.

EDIT: alright, thanks for clearing everything up chim.

EDIT2: I have the feeling that there might be some ROG grunts in the future who will use such moves...

[Zephyrus the Priestess]

So I found this fanart for Sharpedo...

... and I can't post the picture. >>

... God I hate my internet.

[Azeria]

Volcarona would be similar then I guess?

Well then...I was gunna run Explosion on Tytaniel later on as a Last Resort move but now..... back to the moveset list for him! Tempted to use Dugtrio to take advantage of Arena Trap and some other usefull moves he gets lol.

Azery, you are "Tempted" to use thrice the limit of pokemon in your party. I swear to gawd 30 pages of 345 are you talking about x mon. Staaaaahp xD

[Azeria]

Lmao,that's soo true XD

I need to stop this,the moment I think i'm done with the party,i notice something i wanna change or something goddamnit lol.

For now i'm pretty much done though,I'm satisfied with the current team.

@Zerron:I wouldnt be surprised if there was a group of grunts who used Explosion Koffing,Geodude,Voltorb etc to make an escape similar to this 1 guy in Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs.

Aren't like 150 of those pages me throwing people into off-topic topics? It's funny how I changed my team like 20 times, but I pretty much now settled with Pokemon I was originally going for.

Oh bird jesus... reminds me of Julia and her BOOMs XD

And Nemo dies as Sebastian's victim after the second Exile.

He can't constantly go wandering off to investigate alone without suffering the consequences of not letting anyone know where he is forever. Erce gonna be... just beyond ballistic, Java's gonna be beyond all reasoning....

It just gives some genuine motivation to take the star gazer out without any mercy at that point if one of their own fell victim. It will be so bad that Even Hershel will be calling for the psycho's blood... and if you've seen Walking Dead, you know shit's real when even Hershel calls for blood.'

Though... it might have the opposite logical effect on the character development... I'll have to use extreme caution setting the seeds and writing it out, bit by bit to let it build...and even more when it actually comes time...

Now... I must think of a very clever and devious way for him to off him... like Achilles would utilize.

*Goes and looks up all the ways Achilles de Flandres killed people*

And Nemo dies as Sebastian's final victim. He can't constantly go wandering off to investigate alone without suffering the consequences of not letting anyone know where he is forever.

DUDE WHAT NO FUCK OFF CLAUDE IS KICKING THAT GOTHORITA

[Azeria]

-takes off hat-

He was too young to die...he had so much to live for!

RIP Nemo 2014-201?

You can expect James to get pissed(The guy's really fond of the line afterall)Don't mind Shade just taking his soul away or should it be given to Lumiere for it to be burnt? Either way that thing won't be going to the Distortion World,it will be taken out of existance.

Edited April 9, 2015 by Azeria

[Sutoratosu]

Lols, who said anyone outside of Mareek's team will know about it? Heck, they're probably gonna bicker and argue and lament over it until they finally come to the decision of execution and tell their damn trainer what the hell is even going on- via Java interpretting in a very, very frightening manner.

And you see how taciturn he is now? why the hell would he share something like that with just anyone? maybe people he's close to if anything was asked, but otherwise, it's gonna be something he'd try to handle within the team. He don't talk about shit- he boils over on the stove as it all stews slowly. No, he's gonna keep it to himself and try to sneak off first chance he gets to end that Astral Body thing... and every psychic type he's got is gonna in the party

[Azeria]

Well then....Shade'll get his soul anyways,that radar thing on top of his head notifies him off souls that need to be taken away lol into the black hole that thing goes.

Regardless,RIP Nemo....so will there be another member of Mareek's team or will Nemo be irreplacable?

I DON'T CARE, I'M HAVING MY BUG AND DARK TYPE MONS KILL SEBASTIAN, HE CAN FUCK OFF, I DONT WANT NEMO TO DIE

After the whole Evan fiasco, the only two people he'd even trust not to tell anyone is Henry and Lana with the former not being on his good side. As for murder of Pokemon, not a big fan of the murdering them or letting them die even though I play Nuzlockes.

Actually, Rosie is based off a Delcatty named Rose. She was more a comic relief, but she managed to take down Norman's belly drum, paralyzed Linoone like a boss (that Flash Hax). So sad when she died shortly after Winona was defeated. I almost got a game over in the battle she died too.

[Azeria]

Convenient Reaper is convenient but Sebastian is going into the black hole inside of Dusknoir,bastard doesnt fucking deserve to go to the Distortion World,all he deserves is a 1 way trip to complete disintegration. -Whistles-

Even better after killing him,leave his body to the Mandibuzz and Fearows or as something ironic,kill him by just destroying his mind(I'm pretty sure Metagross is capable of that,it's IQ is over 5000)He'll be left as an empty husk.

I don't even know. if anything, that slots gonna be closed off permanently out of respect for the fallen unless Mareek finds another charity case to take in... like he did with Nemo.

Yeah. That;s honestly the only way I could he see him allowing someone else to come in and fill the vacancy. If they were in need or weak or helpless.

Though, if we're gonna be quite honest here- it can be anyone on the team who gets offed, really... except Erce, cause it's gonna be absolute war if his closest friend in the world gets taken out, the push will go too far in that case.

but yeah. Anyone is fair game here, from brienne to Ezio to Kiyone even. Nemo is just the one I used as an example because given his tendencies and behavior of trying to gather info on his lonesome, he is the most vulnerable to getting got.

Neither am I, but I wouldn't even be planning any of this if I didn't genuinely need something to wrap up that bit of his character development around that time frame and couldn't think of any better way. I mean, after big bro and everything about setting him back on the right path and everything... he's going to need some incident to show that he HAS in fact taken Galen's words to heart and not let his death be in vain.

You people think I enjoy pulling RR Martins? I don't... if you got something different that would work to the same effect, then please, say something. I'd rather not have to kill shit like this to get the proper direction of Character development for where I want to take the damn character, lols.

Killing characters, especially pokes, is one thing I know, so it's what I default to... those whom have been in things I've hosted can probably attest to this. (IE, surge story.)

if anyone has a better Idea, suggest it and I'll be happy to drop Sebastian and everything about him completely.

EDIT: and no offense, but the way things look like they're gonna go, I think it more likely that mareek will ultimately veiw Henry either as a hindrance or an enemy, same thing for Java.

[Felicity]

Alternative to Death: Sebastion manipulates X mon into a rampage where Mareek (and co to show that he actually has friends and all) must subdue them. Assuming this happens later, the mons will be at the point where a rampage is lethal and they can't hold back. This would show Mareeks resolve to do what must be done despite his pokemon being the one he must subdue. Worst comes to worst Mareek then releases, not kills, the pokemon or even sends them to Boulder hills or some such where they can live in peace.

[Azeria]

You know,I would wonder how Java would die if at all since they are computer programs given living form so I don't think it's possible for them to actually die lol.

Then we still have the issue of a socipath getting away with impunity and being free to just try it again until he runs out/ is killed himself through sebastian using his own Team Member as a weapon

. And the message I'm talking about, the one he NEEDs to understand, is to not let his hatred and his anger dictate his judgement and his actions, EVER- which is what led to a certain death in the family years ago involving Galen and his old man. Hence why I compare it to star wars in a way- Galen's final effort in life is to turn the boy away from the path of a sith and onto one of a jedi (Holy shit, the star wars stuff is coming in again XD) alot like... Rham Kota and Galen Marek- Galen, both this one and SW, started out as siths in a way, but eventually through events, both turned their backs to the past and came to realize something that allowed them to leave the darkness behind and enter into light.

For Galen Marek- this was the realization that:

A: Vader didn't give two shits about him, at all.

B: These are genuinely good people whom he has gathered, willing to stand for what they believe in

C: This path is not what his father would've wanted

D:Juno Eclipse is hot

E: The empire does need to have it's ass taken out.

F: That Kota and Juno and the other rebel founders are the only ones who actually give a damn about him, in comparison to his master who has only ever used him as a tool and a weapon to do his dirty work for him.

G: All his life, since he was a boy, either directly or indirectly, the darkside has brought him nothing but suffering and loss and hardship

For Galen Sisto, however, this realization is the fact that he can see his little brother slowly but surely beginning to spiral down the same way he stumbled at his age, and his conviction to save him from making the same mistakes is what ultimately drives him to do anything with his life at all, it is what drives him to turn into a "Jedi" so to speak...

You know what, enough, let's just not talk about it for now, I need to figure this shit out. Cause now I've just confused myself- The whole thing with Galen has been planned in advance for a long time and is set in stone for those two, but I need to rethink what comes after, cause... this is not the appropiate outcome now that I think about it- too many contradictions, if he doesn't let his rage control him- why would he not show mercy? perhaps he kills him without malice, but how can he when the basic equivalent of his adopted son has been murdered? Just too much going on- I'm redrafting it all from the point of Galen's last act onwards... I need to think about whether or not Sebastian even exists or should exist...
