Veterans Azeria Posted May 3, 2015 Veterans Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Well damn... Azery's right. nevermind, I guess my wish was technically granted long before it was even made XD http://prntscr.com/715p58 That rarely happens In all seriousness though,I'm pretty much done with Teambuilding now. The team covers most of the ghost weaknesses while staying around the dark/ghost/bad rep theme his team has.I can have some good fun with Tytaniel once he evolves.

Sutoratosu Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Students that go home miss the start of the plot. I'm using the Holiday to get certain characters out of the way so the students can run wild instead. Well...stay at school it is then. And Alvin...should've known it would be alvin.

Support Squad Felicity Posted May 3, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted May 3, 2015 C'mon, how long do you think the Bug maniac would go without examining one of the strongest bug types in the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 And yes, Zuko is back (I don't care if it means I have to carry all 6 Pokemon right now). He's actually not going to evolve until quite a bit later so Rosie is probably still going to be the strong one. It was about as good as any time to bring him back. Also, after all the things that have happened recently, I don't think Henry feeling a bit uneasy is out of the question (Shiro's leaving/MIA, Random Kid walks out of the forest, Kenny is not there to spy bother him, and now Evan losing). Also, Citrine's gone for now. Not sure if I'll bring her back the next time I get an opportunity though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevaleresse Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 What moves were those, exactly? I treated the damage as special since it was definitely action at a distance as opposed to a projectile of some sort. Also, hope that the little combo there doesn't seem like powerplay.

I treated the damage as special since it was definitely action at a distance as opposed to a projectile of some sort. Also, hope that the little combo there doesn't seem like powerplay. Depends on how you view it. Since Nemo just learned T-punch, that move could literally be no stronger than a weak thundershock especially spread out like that if you could use it. Now it could be at full power if Nemo stayed up all night, but then I guess that'd justify it being at full power. The problem is within the statement though. Nemo would've had to stay up all night to learn it. It'd be hard for him to focus and probably wouldn't be able to use full strength all the time. Let's remove all those factors for a moment thought. Would this move be considered powerplay? The answer is actually no. It's not even because Cubone's Sp Atk is...let's just say not that good. The move is still counterable from both attacks (not so much the electric half for a ralts though). Now if Nemo was able to dodge an attack after doing that, that would be powerplaying. Interesting fact: I'd imagine that hit would cause a loud noise and the rattling of the cage would make it hard to hear. It'd be a disadvantage for Mareek given he wouldn't be able to give Nemo the next order so well...but Kage might still be able to. Just an interesting thing I wanted to point out.

Chevaleresse Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 It's pretty much impossible to disrupt communication between Kage and Lucas, lol. Seeing as the latter is psychic. (Well, unless you knock one of them out. But, well, that's kind of the point, isn't it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be a disadvantage for Mareek given he wouldn't be able to give Nemo the next order so well...but Kage might still be able to. Just an interesting thing I wanted to point out. It was Thunderpunch, but it's only at about 50 base power at the moment due to the fact that A. Nemo only had a few hours to learn it, though he did stay up a bit late into the night, however seeing as how Kage and Mareek's match is one of the later ones in the day, and the fact that the chapter starts at 10:30 AM... yeah, the issue of sleep could well have been resolved before the match ever began. And B. Every time I write about Thunder Punch being used, it is technically always from Nemo's perspective with the description of it. AS such the naration makes out to be grander than it actually is due to his rather child-like awe with the fact that he can use the move in the first place. Basically, I intentionally hype the descriptions to show that that's how nemo himself views what he's doing, and since he's mesmerized, he's gonna think it's he's doing better than he actually is. If I were to write it from Mareek or Java or Erce's perspective though... it would be a different story. Basically Java knows at this point there's no hope of Nemo beating any water type like Chalchi without some extreme luck and he's just putting on an approving face while secretly despairing on the inside about it. And Mareek is being an asshole about it by silently rubbing it in and saying I told you so in a way that won't end up hurting the kid's feelings in the process. Pretty much the situation with it right now is like when you're five and you make a crappy piece of art and you think it's great and your parents tell you it's great and pretend they're so proud of you when they both know full well it's not worth shit but are being nice just to avoid hurting ya feelings. Though... guess I should probably differentiate a bit more from now on... can see where it might be a bit confusing to anyone but myself XD. Lols, I can forget that sometimes...don't happen often, but, it does happen... AS for the last move used, it was Bonemerang. as for the first... that's a secret for now, though it really doesn't matter since either move he knows that's capable of doing that stone barrier thing do the exact same job when it comes to that strategy, so... And @ Commander, I think he might've been referring to the whole Trick Room + Calm Mind thing... EDIT: and @ Murdoc, if you want to win this or anything, feel free to speak up. Like I said before, he doesn't care about winning the cup and if his reputation takes a hit or two... well he won't give much of a damn since most taunters are rather easy to shut up and whatnot when you're mopping the floor with them with a Porygon2 Scizor. Hell, I can even come up with a few ideas for development... alot actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Squad Felicity Posted May 4, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just a note on the Tpunch thing, 50bp is fine whatever, but I'm going to lift an idea from PMD, it should definitely not be usable much in the match at all. In PMD, using a TM mid dungeon resulted in knowing the move with half PP, makes sense, you are neither rested when learning it and you can hardly go around using a new skill perfectly. So don't go spamming TPunch at all, K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In PMD, using a TM mid dungeon resulted in knowing the move with half PP, makes sense, you are neither rested when learning it and you can hardly go around using a new skill perfectly. So don't go spamming TPunch at all, K? alrighy then. I wasn't planning on spamming the move anyway since it would make little sense given the circumstances surrounding it. for the most part Mareek is going to try to forget about Tpunch. I'm honestly a bit hurt that you would think I'd go doing such a thing in the first place though Dobs It's like ya don't trust me or something :c But anyways, yeah... since the battles are all more or less set in the future, I haven't had the opportunity to actually write this bit of conflict that's going on in the team in actual depth yet, but... operation Thunder Punch has in truth been a complete fiasco for Java and something Mareek is going to make damn sure he remembers because the duck assured him he could have Nemo TPunching at full power by sunrise (And even briefly deceived him that he had succeeded). Nemo thinks he's mastered it, but everyone else can tell it's pitiful at the moment. Basically there's a lot of important context regarding the whole situation there that I just haven't gotten to yet because of timing and setting. There's basically an elephant in the room that;s being avoided by Mareek and Java both. So yeah, a loss at this point would be something easy for me to orchestrate without it seeming like it was fixed or forced, so like I said, if ya want Murdoc, I got no problem giving you the win here, just go ahead and say the word...

Support Squad Felicity Posted May 4, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted May 4, 2015 'Twould certainly be interesting and Tyron would break even on his bets As for trust, you know it's nothing like that Strat. It's merely setting precedents for situations so we know what to do next time something similar happens or at least have a basis of logic for it.

Veterans Azeria Posted May 4, 2015 Veterans Share Posted May 4, 2015 The Thunder Punch thing with Nemo would essentially be similar to the battle with Ash and Roxanne in the anime where his Ele-Mouse hadnt mastered Iron Tail yet so it couldnt use it in quick succesion&it wasnt at max power.

Yeah, I know, lols XD Though I'm interested to see how Jacob might react to finding out his "Rival" of sorts has been eliminated from the running... This little Galipolli Campaign though, it's gonna be the primary factor for a lot of faith being lost and Mareek falling back to Erce as his strongest. Pretty much Java must now go searching for redemption like his name is Jorah Mormont. In before Mareek exiles him. Now... where's that metal coat...

Chim Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Psst Dobby, Phoebe nicknames all the students. In before Mareek exiles him. Now... where's that metal coat... Redwood's lab. I assume Mareek would be interested to evolve Erce after the Cup? The lab is always open. Even during holidays and when Redwood isn't there. Aaaand back to househunting. At this rate I won't even make Chapter 5 -.-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you don't always have to do something for Henry (Chim only did something about half the time) so don't worry about it. That was more to get Zuko back. He's going to find Danielle because he realized something after hearing all that stuff yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just a quick question more out of curiosity than anything: are we allowed to do a quick battle while the tournament is going on or are you wanting to wait until the whole thing is over? I honestly can't remember what was said about it since that was about 4 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Squad Felicity Posted May 4, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted May 4, 2015 You can have a quick battle, just label it properly and put it in the Battle thread. the participants should recap it in the IC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
