@Balthazar007 Am going to write up a post right now, if that's good with you?

@Dusksong

All good. :)

@Balthazar007 Question: why didn't you have the Sharpedo use Poison Fang? I'm pretty sure it can use that at level 36, and that would have been effective against fairy-types like Clefable. Are the moves you pull random too??

//edit: also, darn, was going to characterize Tiffany as some minature barbie tyrant, but she lost so badly and she sounds so nice in your posts. Guess I'll lay off her attitude the next time I post...

@Dusksong

You can still play with her attitude if you like. Perhaps her smile is obviously fake? Idk, I'm too concerned about side characters like that. lol

As for the move, I give both STAB bonuses and weakness bonuses the same boost. BUT Poison Fang is a stronger move in general. So I really should have went with that; you're right. Honestly I just didn't notice. Oops! Good for you though. :)

Now to put out my "Plot Moving" Post. :)

You know, it may seem a bit cliche, but you missed the opportunity to put Yamask in Eygpt.... Lol

@Balthazar007 Would it be possible for you to post the HQ Pokemon lists on the 0th post? Flipping back through pages is a real pain, and it seems like this post is an important one.

// edit: also, am I allowed to have an NPC challenge Dana? This way, I get to characterize the NPC and write about the target on Dana's back.

@Dusksong

1: Sure. I'll copy it over shortly.
2: You can't make an NPC challenge you, but you can let me know you're eager to battle (like you've just done). I'll pick out your challenger shortly. I want to add more trainers too.

@Dusksong

I've added the HQ Pokemon lists to the 0th IC post. I'll leave that up until we're done with bootcamp.

As for sending a challenger your way. I will do that tomorrow morning or the following morning. I have to go work now.

[Typical]

@Balthazar007 Can I hold off on that challenger until Dana evolves her Combusken? Will probably be in 1-2 posts anyway.

@Dusksong

I won't force your hand by posting IC. I'll just let you know via OOC who your challenger is and what their starting Pokemon is going to be. You can choose when exactly to accept the challenge IC.

I'd like to offer up Jason for an opponent. He's not worth any League points, but he does have a lot of different types to practice against. Though...I'm more of a cinematic battler than a dice roll battler.

[Typical]

@Zarkun Wait you mean to a NPC, or to Dana? Either one works for me, and if you're talking about a Jason-Dana battle, maybe he could challenge her when he notices that her Combusken evolves (he can either be there right after it evolves, or I can set up a scene with her training it at camp), or she could challenge him after she sees his training at camp.

And sure, fine with me! But how do you want to decide the outcome of the battle then? See where posting takes us? (I'd be fine with Dana losing to Jason, since he's technically not a champion and therefore not measured in terms of points. Thus, losing to him would be more of a little humbling experience for Dana—though unlikely, since they're pretty much on equal ground right now after the devolutions).

@Dusksong

I think Zarkun was talking about a NPC challenging him. If two Player Controled characters battle each other, I'd rather you use Pokemon Showdown.

[Typical]

Ah, alright, never mind then haha. Misinterpreted things.

@Dusksong

I mean, if you want to use an NPC, feel free, but it's not really what I meant. Plus...like I said, I'm more of a cinematic battler. I understand the purpose behind using Pokemon Showdown, but considering Jason didn't join the League, where's the harm in just a post by post collab battle that reads well for entertainment?

[Cerces22]

@Zarkun

Why not use showdown so you know who wins and than the collab??

[Typical]

@Zarkun So... who's Jason battling? So confused haha

@Dusksong

Nobody at the moment. He'll likely be out looking for signs of Legendaries in my next post.

@Balthazar007 Everything good?

He starting working 12 HR days sadly
