Also, I forgot to change the music on the first IC post. Check it out.

Last time Dan was on this trail and met Zvi, the other two were still in Shamba, so I didn't change the music. I'm happy to finally reveal it.

haha

Alrighty!

Zvi has been introduced and their rides are on the way. You all can now control Zvi within your posts. Let me know when you reach your next destination. Specifically, I need to know when you get to the part where Indy has the bright idea to try and catch the other Drampa; that way I can introduce the other character (the hermit).

[TheForgottenArc]

I'll probably get a post out tomorrow!

[jujube]

posted! love the music @Balthazar007.

[TheForgottenArc]

I decided not to control Zvi, just not enough time. I think he needs to know where the Trio are going before they head off.

@TheForgottenArc@prettydrops
I forgot to tag you two in that last post... So tag!

Hey Balth, I'm just curious why we use pokemon showdown for the battles and everything instead of dice rolls? I've always preferred dice rolls (mainly bc I always have a hard time with grasping competitive battling mechanics and all that lmao), so I was just wondering. : )

@iKatamalicious

It's just a preference of mine. It makes it feel more like your playing one of the games, instead of just another RP.

I don't mind if you want to dice roll unimportant characters, like trainers along the routes or minor baddies hanging around a base. But for major characters, I would rather you earn your win like you would in the games.

I don't really like showdown battles either. I'm not a fan of how pokemon does their game mechanics, as a lot of stuff just doesn't make sense and the game is kind of broken. so I prefer dicerolls because it feels more like an rp instead of playing the games and having to understand the nitty gritty game mechanics.

Also, a lot of showdown battles are luck based too. Battling online, there is a huge element of luck so I don't see how the two are that different to be honest.

Sorry, not trying to rock the boat, but from how I have played DND and other tabletop games, dice are a great way to earn wins.

@iKatamalicious

If dice rolls are your preferred way, I'll allow you the option to choose either (dice or Showdown), even for main baddies.

But consider this when choosing dicerolls; it'll be up to my discretion to decide the values of the dice. Of course obvious things like Pokemon levels will be considered, but as for Pokemon typings and so on, I will have to make judgement calls. So you have to be fine with whatever I decide and whatever the end result may be.

At least with Showdown, all the formulas are already in place and not subjective.

[TheForgottenArc]

OKAY! Enough waiting, I am making a post now! Sorry for the delay.

[jujube]

@Balthazar007 thank you for hearing us out. Im okay with all that, i trust ur judgement :)

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops

Since we've already done a showdown battle, feel free to summarize their battle to its conclusion in your next post.

[jujube]

Will do!

[TheForgottenArc]

I feel like a post RN would be a waste and not add much, so you guys go ahead a post or two!

[jujube]

@prettydrops

No worries, that was a good post. I'll reply tonight, here in an hour or two.

@iKatamalicious@TheForgottenArc

I believe we can let one of you two go next. Whoever is ready, no biggie.
