[OOC] Pokemon Spiral

[OtomostheCrazy]

@Heckno12

Are you going to put a certain steel/dark type Pokémon in his roster?

[Heckno12]

@OtomostheCrazy Most definitely.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 I was kind of expecting a Pawniard or Bisharp.

Oh crap... There's a Dark gym, a Bug gym and a Ghost gym. I'm screwed.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat On the plus side you only need 8 badges and we have 13(I think) gyms.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 Ah, ok. And Sophia should do well against Gillsen, at least. Unless he has a Scrafty or Heracross. He has both, doesn't he?

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat However did you guess?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 I can also expect a Lucario for Fairy types, right?

Hopefully I'll have a Sigilyph by then, though presumably I'll have to watch out for Thunder Punch and Ice Punch.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat Thankfully a Pokemon's type doesn't exactly determine the result, otherwise some of these gym battles would be absolutely impossible.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 Yeah. Type advantage isn't everything (fer beat me in Showdown, after all).

Sophia will have to take on at least the Bug gym, as I'm planning for some of her Pokemon to learn Signal Beam. That'll offset the Dark weakness somewhat.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat It's a good thing she'll probably have Sigilyph then.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 And Darmanitan. That inevitable Crustle or Armaldo is going to be a tough challenge, though...

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat Probably Crustle. Our resident bug gym leader believes in heavily defensive bug types. It may be unconventional, but it certainly makes for an interesting battle.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 Ok, that sounds like the kind of thing people wouldn't normally expect. Does she also have Bug/Steel types? If so, Amber's not going to have an easy time with her Rock types.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat That kind of build wouldn't be right without a Forretress. That being said, the fact that they don't have a scizor means steel type offense is unlikely.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 Still going to be a challenge. Then again, I don't think Amber would rely too much on type advantage, as she'd expect gym leaders to have ways around it. She'd find the Bug gym leader's fighting style really interesting.

Anyway, going to start typing up my post.

[Heckno12]

@Iatos Woah dude, pull it back just a bit. By that, I mean a lot. Like seriously I get it that your character is supposed to be a badass or whatever but that was much too far.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Iatos Yeah... Please. Tone things down a little.

[Heckno12]

On a happier note, we have now entered chapter 2.

[OtomostheCrazy]

Well that was stupidly funny. Still, I have a feeling I might have to get Snorunt to cool down that hothead.

[LuckyBlackCat]

Yay! New chapter!

Uh... @Iatos, I think I'm going to have to ask you to redo that post. We're supposed to be battling the grunts' Pokemon, because even if you fight the grunts themselves, the Pokemon will still go after us... they'll protect their trainers, after all. So maybe focus on what happens with Dusty and the Magnemite?
