[OOC] Pokemon: Lurking Darkness

[JudgeApatow]

Ok, just googled it. The term comes from the TCG?

@JudgeApatow

Yes, check out Pokémon Insurgence for prime examples of them in pokemon games.

Also, for flow reasons, should we wait for @Ryutic? they seem to be offline at this moment and not have posted yesterday while they could.

[geminironin]

I don't want to get into the plot before they arrive, but the conversation IC seems fine.

I wanted to have the receptionist buzz in Maple to deal with it, but you are right. Perhaps she could simply subtract Devon from the equation.

@Ryuzaki

Jesus, that Tentacruel is pure nightmare fuel.

Also, I agree with geminironin, the stuff happening in the IC can keep going on for a little while. But if they take too long they could always start their adventure a little late, Ash style.

@JudgeApatow@geminironin posted, queue rival music.

@Ryuzaki Did Devon just choose a Pokeball randomly?

@JudgeApatow

Yep, I forgot to mention, you have two choices, you can take your preferred starter, or you can take an Eevee as your starter. the Eevee are in eggs in the other box that I failed to mention.

EDIT: Annnndddd, no matter what pokeball you choose you get your preferred starter

@Draconis Nevyn@Ryutic@geminironin@JudgeApatow, I'm going to reveal some of my thinking here. The reason I'm having Devon leave ahead of everybody else is because nobody knows what the region looks like, so it gives me a chance to describe it, and also have everybody see "Victors: Devon Grenich" on every gym pillar.

[geminironin]

Ah, I can see it now.

"Welcome to Cleardale City"
^{Devon was here} _{Wim is a loser!}

[Ryuzaki]

@geminironin

and at the very bottom _{P.S. I think Viola is cute, hehehe}. But seriously, expect to see a lot of Devon before he runs off to beat the next gym in classic rival style.

_{Expect a surprise for the elite 4 and champion..... hehe.... heh... heh..}

@geminironin

I feel like Wim is going to regret engaging Devon.

[geminironin]

Especially when it comes time to battle... That ain't going well for Elekid.

@geminironin

Yes, please, tell me how an electric type plans to beat a ground type.

[JudgeApatow]

@geminironin

Why? It's not like Trapinch is the type Elekid is weak t--

Oh... I see.

[Ryuzaki]

Oh, Almost forgot! I am adding Trapinch to Devon's CS. And on the note of adding pokemon to CSs when you do, all the starters are level 5 with the ability to have any egg moves as Maple knows a breeder very well ;)

[JudgeApatow]

I mean, it could still happen. (Right? Maybe? There's a chance?)

[Ryuzaki]

@JudgeApatow

If you can dream. With Trapinch's moveset, good luck.

[JudgeApatow]

@Ryuzaki Btw, are we going with the traditional four moves per Pokemon (like in the games) or whatever they learn they keep (like in the anime)?

@JudgeApatow

Games style, for the purpose of my sanity and yours. Because approximately 20-30 level up moves by the end of the gyms will be getting on your nerves to remember.
