Oh okay, I understand the typing now.

I still don't get though why Fake Tears would be guaranteed to deal 8 Damage... wait, when you said this:

Instead, they are tacked on to the next roll's result, but only if the next roll's result is favorable.

You meant that whatever favorable roll result they get is added all added to their next move if it's favorable? So there's no modifier or anything, it's just a double attack in a way?
I don't want it to sound like I'm whining, but I am genuinely curious then why Stat moves get a bonus just for being used? I thought it was to make them sort of a gamble. Like: you can have a higher chance of winning this roll, but do you really think you can win the next roll too, and do you think it's worth risking you wasting two turns for a +50% modifier?
Either way, I'm cool with it. I think I'll definitely be using them more in the future though ;D

Drats! I always knew never playing Zelda games would be my cultural reference downfall, lol.

You're right though, there's lots of dark themes within pokémon when you peel back the rosy sheen of it being a "children's game." Least of which is the romanticization of dog fighting, overall parental neglect, and yes: the fact that several pokémon have a predilection for abduction.

I'm laughing so hard right now!! X"D Idk if it's the bright red text, or just how intensely I read it in my head, but the whole DAWN ON DAY 6: ??? HOURS REMAIN just made it seem like Liz was for some reason in some kinda horror movie where she needs to survive till the end, but for now the audience is just supposed to panic, because we only know she has ??? left to go, lmao.
I'm sorry, did that even make sense? Lol, I actually just now read ur last post, and I felt the need to share my reaction.

Carry on~

Uh... 1) Why did the Bonsly get a +100% modifier? 2) Why has Fake Tears become aN automatic 2-Hit K.O.?

WHY ARE THESE LOWER LEVEL POKÉMON STILL SUCH A CHALLENGE?

Lol, well not everyone can be a star student like Liz! It's hard memorizing all 802 pokemon.

Rin couldn't fathom how anything found the whistle's tune soothing, but then again they weren't a low-level pokémon. Pacing through the tall grass, the trainer's eyes scanned their surroundings. 'Maybe it's supposed to sound bad to drive away higher leveled pokémon, but then why would that attract lower ones?' Rin lazily pondered until they finally spotted two yellow eyes staring right back at them! It was . . . a . . . The whistle sagged between their lips. Rin didn't know exactly what the pokémon in front of them was, but they weren't all that impressed. "So you're a Grass Type, huh?" Rin asked the little Bonsai Pokémon to no response. Scratching their head they reached into their belt to grab Gerseti's pokéball. "Well we've already got a stellar Grass Type, and I don't see you beating him anytime soon, but," with a flick of their wrist, Rin's Girafarig popped out of his Standard Pokéball, "I'm sure you'll get along great! He's a really cool dude."

"Rafrig?"

"You're cool too, Geri, don't worry about the fight," Rin comforted the Long Neck Pokémon's increasing worry lines as he look between his Trainer and his opponent. "You don't even have to beat this little guy up, just show him how cool you are with Astonish." With an encouraging smile, Rin had a good feeling that their first fight with Gerseti would go well.

Lol, that Bonsly literally just learned it's first move, a rock type might be nice to counteract Gerseti's bug type weakness. I'll be back on tomorrow for the fight! :)

'I'm lost . . .' When Rin's lung finally released the last notes of their shriek of shame, they found that their legs had taken deep into an unfamiliar Route. Rin hadn't exactly (which meant they hadn't at all) memorized the Town Map like Umi had instructed them to, but they didn't regret it for a second. Of all the many mistakes they'd made in short succession that day, this definitely wasn't one of them. This was an adventure! This was exactly where they were meant to be! Out in nature with nothing but their pokémon and passion! "W-!" Rin coughed and remembered they really needed to regain their breath properly before trying to hoot with glee. Rather than rest their hands on their knees this time, Rin gave their legs a much deserved break and sat squarely on the dirt road; a little puff of dust escaping from underneath them. Unbeknownst to the Trainer, a prime example of why they needed their newest buy peered at them from behind. Despite the Herracross's exceptional utility, it would overpower anything the Trainer had to put up against it, so it was for the best that Rin had unknowingly sat with their back to him.

Inhaling acceptance, and exhaling ego, Rin reached within their PokéMart shopping bag. "Come on, Rin. Let's get this over with." Their left hand trembled as if they were going to put a Colbur Berry up to their lips rather than their Pokémon Whistle. "Do it for Olotah, do it for Gerseti . . ." Their rational half knew what was necessary, but their rash half screamed otherwise. Rin inched it closer and their face grew more scrunched by the second. "Do it for Anusobeket, dammit!" With that Rin nearly choked themself when their patience with themself wore out, causing the Trainer to finally stuff the instrument in their mouth and get it over with. Getting back on their feet, maladroit fingers vaguely hovered over its various holes. Rin never was the musical type, perfering to be the dancer rather than the singer at parties, but they figured there couldn't be too much to it. It was like blowing a balloon, they told themself. While the ensuing stridulous song caused Rin to pop out their right hearing aide, they had faith they'd find just what they were looking for when they entered the tall grass.

Well I'm Demifluid irl (name's Tiye btw or you can use Metamore, you don't gotta call me Rin, lol), if that's what you were wondering, I guess?
..I also would never describe a character being nonbinary or trans a "wonky trait," so you don't really have to excuse anything on my behalf.

@Balthazar007
I get misgendered every day and even the very few, trusted people I'm out to irl mess up sometimes, so I don't expect perfection from you either. I just like to use roleplay for some minor escapism where trans people don't have to worry about or shoulder stuff like misgendering or really any transphobia cuz I get enough of that awful shit irl. I can see you're an trying, and I appreciate that :)
Though, you still reffered to Rin by the wrong pronouns twice after your edit.

"Or will she pass it up and use their new flute?"

In the first paragraph, and then...

"They made her way north to Route 3 as fast as they could."

Under the Hider.

Personal conversation over, I'll have a response up by tomorrow. Been a busy day with the baby again, so I only really have time to check in a little for the night before I go into baby lockdown mode! ((cuz her parents spoil her rotten, and so she has no bedtime DX))
Seeya through the screen!
