A few things:

I don't mind changing to just getting a Rotom-Phone now, but then again if you don't mind us not changing, then I'll stick with Ikkou having gotten one like... two weeks ago, an older model that doesn't talk (or battle of course) but is still compatible with the Dex and Map apps. Just for simplicity's sake.

As for canon vs RP, totally A-OK with me too! I also expected some changes, creative liberties, etc. No worries.

As for Mags, works for me! Hopefully my response works too. And the dialogue color is fine, it is different enough from Cassandra's.

@Brose look, i'm sorry, i know we're supposed to be forming the party but that's just what kazu wanted to do lmao. if you don't have an immediate reason for noah to keep engaging with her, then if nothing else kazu will be locked into the group the second she sees ikkou - we can reconvene there lol.

LMAO! Poor Noah got dropped like a sad ham. Cracks me up.

It's okay! Keeping me on my toes, I see! But yeah, they can reconvene later. Question is, how...hm...

I can either:
1.) Have him group up with Vinny + then join the bigger group (before or after leaving Beryl Town)
2.) He and Vinny can join the bigger group separately before leaving Beryl Town
3.) Or Vinny can join the bigger group separately before leaving Beryl Town and Noah can join the group after they left Beryl Town (gotta an idea on how that would work)

@GubGar I'm gonna leave the decision on how it rolls out up to you. Let me know whichever of the options suits you best!

<Snipped quote by Brose>

If you've got specific plans for any of those options (or a strong preference), I'm totally flexible. But I could totally see Vinny trying to cozy up to the Professor. I actually mentioned as much in my first post!

Both in hopes of getting a scoop, and also in the "Holy hell please help I do not trust myself to take care of a baby creature" sense.

I've got a loose idea for #3, but it's not my preference (more of a backup idea). So if you want Vinny to meet/cozy up to the professor, please do! Then we can figure out the rest from there.

So Im gonna make a short little Professor Noah post sometime today so he can get his Morpheus bundle. Nothing too exciting.

But as we inch along to getting the group together, what direction would y'all like to go from Beryl Town? I recommend the Bug Gym or the Fairy Gym as people's first gym if you guys want to make the gym a loose goal/priority.

I planned on dropping a Vinny post of him getting his freebies too, so maybe that'll be where they bump into each other! As for which direction, either one of those gyms seem like a good first target. So if @c3p-0h has a preference for Tourmaline that's totally good for me.
