[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[Eklispe]

@Pikmin Eye@PlatinumSkink I think I'll just say Dawkin was running towards the swarm as it reached full light tornado-ness, so Martin might have seen him, and wait for Pikmin's post before my post detailing Dawkin's actions. Sound good?

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pyromaniacwolf Gotcha.

@Eklispe *throws hands into the air* Sure! Why not? Haha.

[Eklispe]

@PlatinumSkink Mind if Atlas and Dawkin plow through to the middle with my fancy new headbutt? It'll let me cut down on the amount of posts to make and it makes sense to me but I don't want to exceed my authority.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii Alright. Tactics. Now to convince myself of the physics with which Smog works. Haha. Nicely posted.

@Pikmin Eye Yeah, given the circumstances, not much else you can do. Haha. Anyway. Nicely posted.

@Eklispe I will note the average Aron is 0.4 meters tall. It's not exactly as if Dawkin can hide behind him if he charges, unless he's crawling right behind the headbutting Pokémon. That said, not saying getting to the middle is impossible. You can still attempt forcing your way through, or however you plan to.

@PlatinumSkink

Amelia had a few lessons and she's not the brute force type. That being said, Ghost-types are not for brute force types.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii Of course~

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 Alright. I do want to mind that I'm going to give a bit of consequences whenever someone attempts doing two moves at once, or they might make it a habit, but for this one it kind of makes sense. But, still, something to keep in mind. My reasoning behind why something specific happens might be "this Pokémon tried to do two things at once, and hence wasn't as strong as this opponent who only did one". Might be. Anyways. I'll count it as Tackle first, Flash second, and then see where it goes from there. Haha. Well posted.

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink I know, that's the point :P Although something really bad may come of it (bubble getting a critical hit, for instance), Shyn's immediate flash would help with whatever move Oaken tries next, despite Shyn more probable to take damage c: I feel like strategy can be incorporated into this, where two-move turns can be accomplished, however with possible, unseen side-effects for that side (I.e pokemon becomes paralyzed with fatigue, takes damage themselves, receives more damage next turn, lowered stats, confusion, etc). It helps spice up the strategy aspect of the battle, ya know? ^-^

But yeah, looking forward to how Oaken counters :3

[Rune_Alchemist]

Right

need to post.

Will attempt words.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Eklispe Alright. Yupp, that was one of the potential plans of what one could do. Haha. Well posted.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Welp, did a post with words.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pink Madness Alright. So I take it that you're moving towards the Wet Caverns roleplay wise, while gameplay wise you're doing the Seek Trainers action. Yeah, sure. I'm totally okay with that! Nicely posted! Haha.

@Rune_Alchemist Aaaaah... Double Team... I've been a bit afraid of that move for a few months now, not entirely sure how to roleplay it. There's such potential for it to be so absurdly overpowered if I let the illusions move, and yet not letting them do so feels a little odd. And, hm, the official description of the move says the illusion is created by the Pokémon is moving so fast, but that can hardly be the case with a Ralts, can it? Haha. I'm unsure how that'd even work with that official description, because that'd imply such ridiculous speed. Eh. Oh, well. Unexplained illusionary copies, let's go with them. Hahaha. Well posted!

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii ... And I just realized that I've coincidentally managed to match you up against a character that had _{part of} your name from before you joined the roleplay. This purely accidentally, as he was the one who's opponent you replaced. Huh. ... That's not too weird, is it? XD

If it's really odd, I can change his name. Hahaha.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@PlatinumSkink I find it rather amusing, since he is the second Joshua Amelia knows. Her friend from her hometown, who helped her out, is also named Joshua

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

I mean, Ralts is a psychic type so I am assuming it works differently for a pokemon like Ralts. Rather than ridiculous speed, it's more psychic power.

I'd say that the copies have no physical form, can't interact with anything have no shadows, etc. For the most part I'd say they should be able to move and stuff, but that's it. Plus, moves like Odor sleuth and others make an evasive target able to be hit no matter what.

but, just my opinion. Feel free to do with the move what you want~

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii Gotcha. Haha. Several Joshua's, eh. ... *starts making more characters called Joshua for fun and giggles* ... Nah, I kid. XD

@Rune_Alchemist Yeah, that makes sense. Let's go with that until anything else makes more sense. Hahaha.

Anyways. Posted for numerous of you. Hm. I had something I wanted to say to someone, but my mind is drawing a blank. ... ... ... ... ... Eh, it'll probably come back if it was important.

Also, needed to google "Aron mouth" for that specific little detail. Yupp, there's one back there. Confirmed. Haha.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pink Madness OH, YEAH. I wanted to remind you that Rosa still has the damage from the battle in which you caught hi- er. ... ... ... I kind of rolled and found the Cherubi to be male when the encounter started, but Rosa sounds so female. Hahaha. ANYWAYS. Yeah. Rosa's still damaged. Of course, Morning Star could do something about that, and you could likely have used Morning Star outside of battle unlike in the games, sooooo yeah. Hahaha. Feel free to have done that on the way to heal Rosa, if you want to have. Yupp.

[Delta44]

However, as this isn’t actually a video-game, Donna can decline if she wants to, assuming Joe isn’t a violent villain who attacks her anyway. And Joe’s not that bad. Probably. Maybe. Hopefully. You don’t really know with Joe. Joe may just be secretly wicked. Don’t trust Joe. Joe might be a scary person when you get to know him. He might be a jaywalker. Eeep.

@PlatinumSkink

Can I just say that this is amazing XD

[Pirouette]

Ah.. gosh.. .sorry! It has honestly been a pretty rough week and month for me. My doggie died this previous weekend and a whole bunch of other stuff!

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 You sure can. :)

@Pirouette O-oooh... Alright. I understand. Don't worry about it. Take things at the speed you want.

Nicely posted. And yeah, you're correct, Double Team would not fool Foresight. I will note, though, I'm not going to force the illusions to disappear, since they don't in the game. But, sure, if you'd like to play it like that. For the record, the mental image of a bunch of drunken Sno's is hilarious.

I did have to do a double-take at "Snorunt knows Double Team?". Checked it, despite undoubtedly having checked it when I saw your character sheet for the first time, and confirmed it again. So, huh. If a Ralts does it with psychic powers, does that mean a Snorunt does it with icy mirages? Haha.

... I notice that all Pokémon can learn Double Team with its TM. Allow me to hide that TM in a secret hatch inside the Champion's private bedroom... XD
