Commander Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So remember how Zerron/Faust used a Spinda during the RP. I'm actually using one in an ORAS nuzlocke. Something hilarious actually happened in the battle against Norman (which actually could have cost me a couple mons). His second Slaking decided to use Swagger on the Drunken Fist (the name of my Spinda) and pretty much gave him a free Swords Dance. God I love this thing now. Seriously, Swagger+Own Tempo anyone never even occured to me to use (looks at Lilligant). I swear there are too many fun grass types to use.

Sutoratosu Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Just for buffing Endure (Don't assume this though) I'd like to see it be like a one turn Defense max out. Of course one would have to limit how much that is able to be used but I think it would make it far more usable. When I used it in the PMD RP I abused it in a fight with Strat to make a pretty tense build-up, endure P much makes you invincible in that game and since we were going by game mechanics... Of course Roy ended up with a tree branch piercing him but ah well, he made it. Good times Would've died if it weren't for a freaking boom burst stopping the assailant before he could finish it... Now... to figure out what else to do with this Skarmory... I've already got myself an ultrasonic deterrent in one of Joltara's daughters, can undergo the same training as she did eventually... but surely another one couldn't hurt- I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to pitch train metal sound to be used in the same manner outside of battle... One of the Twins will carry out the healing role, one of them will be the sound weapon if nessacary- unlike their mother there's two of them so they can split the jobs up... I can have Zolivar nerf fire much in the same way Erce would- using Air Cutter in place of Vacuum wave though... I could have a way to take care of electric attacks via HP electric And damn... lols, rip norman... EDIT: Ahhhh.... Brienne Brienne Brienne... What am I going to do with you? You're an absolute sitting duck to ground and fighting types... But I don't know what to possibly substitute turn you into... I could go for a female Excadrill... or a fortress- that mother trucker gets Power Trick. Or I could go for a durant... Or perhaps your rival Lord Steelix will be making a visit? Yes, we must decide this rather quickly... I think a fight to the death is in order. Winner gets the slot. Loser... well, we'll mourn the losers later. EDIT2: And so it comes down to this... Durant, Fortress, and Lord Steelix... who will come out on top? EDIT3: And so Lord Steelix lays dead on the field, taken out by an unexpected bout of team work from the bugs... Only one question remains. Whom will take whom's life next? Durant... or Fortress? The viper- or the mountain? EDIT4: OH my, WHAT:S THIS!? A female Lucario has suddenly entered the Frey of battle! what an upset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted April 10, 2015 Veterans Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu........... We've got 2 Lucario's here already,a third would be a bit over the top,though she could function well as a counterpart of Erce.......... Edit 1:I remember you saying that Mareek wanted a shuckle at the begining....maybe go for that since Power Trick shuckle hits like a godamn truck.

Shell Smash Shuckle too Stronk (seriously there is no other Pokemon that can Tank like a Shuckle...not even close). Toxic, Rest, Shell Smash, Infestation is pretty much GG.

Sutoratosu Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 and is also frail and slow af This. Shuckles time in my mind has passed. and he is not of the silver- *Shuns like a peasant* Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu........... We've got 2 Lucario's here already,a third would be a bit over the top,though she could function well as a counterpart of Erce.......... And both of those lucarios are male and... don't really have too much of a personality from what I've seen thus far- no offense to the twos of yous whose got em, but I'm just calling it out like I see it. So yeah, she will more or less be acting like Erce in a way. Hell, I could probably take the same exact backstory that I had drafted out for Brienne and retain the basic structure. In fact I know I could. And Azery- I'm get mah steel types, damnit, I don't care if there's gonna repeats with someone else- cause I trust my ability as a writer to make em unique and easy to tell apart. My mons are not just slapped together for the sake of strategy, I take into account the fact they should each still be able to function as individuals even within the team and not just be yes men or grunts who are soulless and only live to follow orders. Oh what's this... oh...OH... It's over... the bugs are dead. We have our winner!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted April 10, 2015 Veterans Share Posted April 10, 2015 -Picks up Foretress oh wait I've got Tytaniell that can do the exact same thing never mind You and your steel types...oh wait I shouldnt be talking,I've got 2 of them and James is a ghost fanatic,you saw how he went over Rotom(Now watch what happens when Shade becomes a Dusknoir and can throw James around) I can Imagine Morsmodre acting like a Guard Dog or something when he's a Deino or Zweilous lmao. Same with Jareth but Jareth doesnt bite he simply shocks his enemies into paralysis -Totally not a shameless quote from Surge!- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 *Sics an Electivire on Azery for daring to utter such hollowed words of a warrior* Well... I think Nemo's going to have a bit of competition with Brienne now... yes, yes... quite a bit. I'm going to have a bit of fun seeing where there little relationship ultimately goes- perhaps it will be rivalry, perhaps grudging respect? or perhaps Nemo shall come to ultimately feel something and actually pine for her; while the wolf rejects his advances- hence leading to his habit of wandering off on his lonesome... to be alone. I like the third one... oh yeah, there's gonna be something going on in that Heart of Bone... perhaps it will go unspoken, yes... unspoken is best. for Nemo is no fool. He knows nothing can ever come out of castles made in the sand or towers built on glass. And so resigning himself to the fate of forever alone, he leaves often to think of his place in this world and recite his oath, thousands and thousands of times, from dusk til dawn... to distract himself. To make himself focused... or at least try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I really can't blame you for picking Lucario seeing as there aren't too many steel types to really pick from. I mean it's either that or Excadrill. Speaking of Burrows...he has a very interesting personality considering Excadrills are supposed to be viscous and a bit scary. And yes, there will be occasions where he tries to convince Henry to put him into a contest (which are some of my favorite moments of him).

Chim Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Can attacks/Pokemon bounce off of the cage inside (like a ball)? Absorb, not bounce back xD Dammit, that sounds like fun! Maybe I should've made a rubber field or something... Also Mareek vs James is going to be the last battle in the IC. I need to talk to Jory since I thought the battle topic wasn't chapter related xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboAura Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 @Tacos: Hey, as long as you're using the randomizer I'm fine with chance. @Faust: Ah, so you think Kiai lacks enough personality? ... Can't say I can argue that at this point. I've been trying to go for a mix between a mutual friendship and, since becoming a Lucario, moreso calm and level headed(atleast outside of battle at this point). Maybe I should put even more focus on personalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I can argue that at this point. I've been trying to go for a mix between a mutual friendship and, since becoming a Lucario, moreso calm and level headed(atleast outside of battle at this point). Maybe I should put even more focus on personalities. Again, I'm not trying to shame anyone or make ya feel bad or anything XD Just saying that personality makes it a lot easier to tell a mon apart if there happen to be dupes Take Erce for example. Even if someone were to get a scyther right now, I would have no issue about it because at the end of the day- Erce is still Erce regardless of if another PC has a member of her kind also in their company. I was going to try to demonstrate this by having Kota send out his mantis, but things kinda went a different path so that never actually came about. She's got a ward to defend and to her- that's her purpose and her reason in her mind, and she takes it very seriously and does not slack on it. This seriousness also cascades down into other matters though- evident in her being somewhat of a no-nonsense lady reminiscent of Mareek's mother Alexandra. She has her facets and her habits, and this ultimately helps to not only enchance character development for her Ward, Mareek, himself, but also for all other Party members over time. And it gives me a handful of key traits that I can use to immediately have those who know her well enough, like MAreek or his team, be able to id her almost instantly even among lookalikes.

Have been hoping to make the team members more 'individual,' so that kind of thing actually help. Hopefully I can get Voltage's personality working well out of all the members I have solidified (9 out of 10 confirmed) Edited April 11, 2015 by TurboAura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 @Faust: Ah, don't worry, there's no reason I'd be offended by that, especially when I admit it can be true at times. Have been hoping to make the team members more 'individual,' so that kind of thing actually help. Hopefully I can get Voltage's personality working well out of all the members I have solidified (9 out of 10 confirmed) The best thing to do is to have them just screw around and base it off of something you liked seeing. Another good piece of advice is to make sure to give them a flaw. For example, Rosie is a bit of a ding-dong and Paradox is a big baby, but their both happy and carefree Pokemon. You can't really say they're the same despite the similarities. Just take a look at Henry's Pokemon's Personalities: Rosie: Optimistic, hyper, very loyal, and a bit of an air-head Gypsy: Quiet, Apathetic Glutton Burrows: Silly and Melodramatic Paradox: Attention Seeking, Outgoing, and Childish Techie: Mischievous, Curious, and Artistic (I actually don't know how to describe Burrows, but that's the best I can think of) Those are also only a few ways to describe those characters. Personalities tend to have more depth than what one word could really describe. The one trick to help fix boring characters is to ask yourself what their flaw is and how does it effect the Pokemon's growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chim Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Since I didn't have the brain activity last night, here's another update on what's going on: - Trainer Red is removed from the RP. In my next update I'm going to kill Kenny. and the first one to post a South Park joke about it I'm not going into detail, it should be pretty obvious at this point, and I already messaged him about it. Now the main reason that I post this here is because I don't want any other PC to find Kenny's body until I say so. The Cup would be cancelled if a student was found dead and I don't have the time to rewrite stuff again. I hope I can update today but I have to go to work early so my time is very limited.
