Oh, first I wanted to discuss something:
Would they have crossed paths while he was competing in Kanto? It says she was a runner-up. I was thinking he remembered seeing her and would have lost to her the first time and then when he challenged it again, she was not there and he won. Or it could have been when he beat her. I didn't have a time in which he became the Champion. Did you have a time when she was? Just something to throw in for greater intrigue.

EDIT: Well, that was longer than intended...>.>

[MarsAdept]

I envisioned the Kato championship been more of a tournament rather than a straight fight verse the Elite Four. When she battled at the tournament, she got to the very final round but then narrowly lost. Instead of becoming the champion, she became the mere runner up. I would be ok, if it was Sebastian who beat here then. Or maybe they just met while competing in Kanto.

[Phoenix]

Oh, yeah, there is no real "Elite Four" here. It was tournaments like the Anime. "Champion" is still a logical term to use for the winner, which is why I did so.
Is that the "history" you prefer yourself? I'm willing to hear your own opinion on the matter. ^^

[MarsAdept]

yes that is the history i prefer. Sebastian beat Sophia this making her miss out at the title of Kanto Champion that one time she has attempted it.

[Phoenix]

So, considering Bisharp's attack, shall we hash out tertiary types? This is what I was thinking:
Bisharp: Steel/Dark/Fighting
Breloom: Grass/Fighting/Poison
Medicham: Psychic/Fighting
Masquerain: Bug/Flying/Water
Froslass: Ice/Ghost
Shiftry: Grass/Dark/Fighting
Jumpluff: Grass/Flying
Ninetales: Fire/Psychic/Ghost

And I was considering yours:
Spiritomb: Ghost/Dark/Rock
Gengar: Ghost/Poison
Drifblim: Ghost/Flying
Dusknoir: Ghost/Dark/Fighting
Froslass: Ghost/Ice
Golurk: Ghost/Ground/Fighting
Chandelure: Ghost/Fire/Dark
Glaceon: Ice (sub Ghost?....so not actually Ghost but shares some of its characteristics with it...maybe???)

[MarsAdept]

I am good with all of those types. I personally would like to think of Glaceon as more of an Ice Dark type. I feel it fits the story I have for my Glaceon, plus there is a known dark type evolution for Eevee. However the idea of having a secondary or sub type of ghost is interesting. Glaceon could be simply a little more vulnerable to psychic and a little more resistant to normal and fighting.

[Phoenix]

Sounds Good! :D

I won't be able to post tonight but I will tgomorrow. ;)

[Phoenix]

Oh, I forgot to ask: Did Metal Burst hit? It was specified.

[MarsAdept]

Yes metal burst did connect.

[Phoenix]

Sorry I haven't been able to post. Been busier than I care to be. I hope to get a post up tomorrow but the soonest I know of will be Wednesday. Again, I'm sorry for the delay.

[MarsAdept]

Thank you for letting me know, but honestly life comes first before roleplaying. Post whenever you get a chance. I also am busy unfortunately. I am in the middle of moving and my Internet has not been hooked up yet. I am only able to post from my mobile phone.

[Phoenix]

Sorry that took so long. I'm a loser. :(

[MarsAdept]

You took forever!!! How dare you make me wait a week to play pokemon? I completely forgot my strategy.

Hahaha ok! I could not say that with a straight face. I am not mad. I am just happy you posted. I will have my response up before the end of the day. I did forget what I was going to have my pokemon do, but it is for the best in the end.

[Phoenix]

Oh, I wanted to add that I think weather conditions would mix together instead of replace. So if one of your Pokemon were to use Hail, both would be in effect but at a weaker scale. Do you agree with that mechanic?

[MarsAdept]

Hahaha I just did what you did. Sorry for taking so long. My post is up.

I agree that the conditions should mix rather than replace. It frees up a pokemon to do something other than hail and sunny day turn after turn. I kinda described what I think the mix should be. The hail is not harmful to pokemon. It is just soft snow. The temperature does drop to allow the snow to stay. The sun light is diminished so it does not give as much of a bonus. All abilities triggered by hail or sunny day still activate. What do you say?

[Phoenix]

Don't worry about it. This can be a casual side thing (unless you're really interested in this xP).

Perfect. I'll read it now. :)

EDIT: I don't think the temperature should have gone to "freezing"...I would expect just a normal temperature.
However, that would interfere with the snow sticking to the sand.
I just feel like Sunny Day's purpose to be hot and sunny to boost Fire, Solar Beam, and possibly stuff like Leech Seed, Ingrain, and other such attacks. Now it seems like Sunny Day is only allowing Sunlight to boost Grass but not keeping the heat, which is lessening the effects of Hail to make it not painful but still able to benefit Ice. I mean, that's fine since I'm not using a Fire type, but I'm not sure if it's really balanced.
What do you think?

[MarsAdept]

I said it was freezing because I wanted to allow some snow to exist on the ground. I was thinking that I didn't want sunny day plus hail to make rain. I am fine with it still being warmer to be able to power fire moves.

[Phoenix]

Maybe it's because of how it was layered. Because Hail was second, it had greater control over temperature. Perhaps if Sunny Day was second, it would have turned to a "warmer" rain. So it kind of keeps the idea that the second has priority.

Meh...whatever, I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing. Don't mind me. It's just my Mars in Gemini acting out. xP
