Pokemon: Gotta Fuck 'Em All! (OOC, take 2)

[MiscChaos]

While I'm not really focused on the show, we have done away with the concept "The only way to train is to fight". It's just that no one's taken advantage of that yet. Either because I have events too tightly packed together or they decide to do something else between events, I suppose.

[MiscChaos]

Posts are away!

Besides it limits how we can raise our Pokémon. Examples shown in the anime and rarely in game reveal that battling isn't the only way to train Pokémon. It helps but it's not the only path to take.

Well, some way to avoid having all Pokemon of the same species and level have exactly the same stats would still be nice. It's just the link between EVs and the particular Pokemon you've previously battled that I object to.

Being able to specifically raise speed or attack by focusing on those during out-of-battle training, or having the particular tactics you use in battle affect how your Pokemon grow would be really cool. In the games HP Up/Calcium/Iron/etc use the EV system as well, and I think one of those has already been handed out to someone. It doesn't need to be the EV system from the games, but I do think something to modulate the basic stat growth would be useful.


On the topic of the posts: two Flying Pokemon, both of which (probably) know Supersonic, and I didn't take the opportunity to give one of those berries to Tyr beforehand. This battle isn't going to go quite as well as the last one did, is it...

[MiscChaos]

Hm. Yeah, taking advantage of out of battle training to determine EV would work beautifully! Thanks for the tip!

And no, most likely it isn't. Not unless you play smart.

[Laughing Hyena]

My post is up and it took me some time to think it up. But this is good stuff for the EV training. I cannot wait for whatever lies ahead for them.

Hey, I think I'm going to take a break, I haven't been much into RPing lately. I'm assuming it has something to do with me not being all that into writing right now. If someone wants to, they can play Samantha while I'm on my break, otherwise just put her in the inactive list.

[MiscChaos]

Alright. Shadow will be on autopilot until the Battle of Oldale ends and then Samantha will go on the Inactive List until your return. Thanks for the heads up and hope that you regain motivation soon!

Aw Crap. I meant to post before you posted the next round, but... Illustrator was taking too long and now I have keyboard marks on m face T_T

I just started playing Fire Red having not played pokemon since I was child, and I had a bit of a revelation yesterday when I realised that water gun owned Metapod because it was a special move. Then I saw this:

"It’s super effective, but due to Nincada using Harden twice, it only does as much damage as a normal attack"

Firstly, Harden raises def but not special def, so it shouldn't affect Ember, and secondly it's worth noting that Nincada's base defence is 3 x his base special defence, so an equivalent special attack should do 3x as much base damage.

Not trying to be picky or pedantic, just curious if you are using the special/physical system at all?

[MiscChaos]

Actually, you're completely right. That was my bad all around, forgetting about the Def/Sp. Def difference.

[MiscChaos]

Alright, I've fixed the mistake IrrCom pointed out (thanks again for that) and am now waiting for DoH to post before I start writing things up. If she decides to pass this turn due to writer's block, I'll understand though. I also need posts from Nobudi (I understand if it's not forthcoming though since you're working on getting your own RP off the ground), BHorn (Unless she'd like to pass again), and Zender.

[Laughing Hyena]

PMing the stragglers could also help. ^^

[MiscChaos]

I'd be sending a PM Nobudi's way regardless since I'm starting to do that for people in danger of going inactive. Again, though, I'd understand if nothing comes of it since they're (sorry, don't know ya gender) trying to start their own RP.

[dragonmaster121989]

almost got every one we needed to round out this posting cycle

[Laughing Hyena]

Who could possibly be missing?

[Thaedael]

I will not deny, I have been bad about posting. I am truely sorry.

[MiscChaos]

Posts are written, but, to be honest, I feel like they're utter shit. I haven't been sleeping all that well; I suppose pre-moving jitters have finally started to catch up to me. Anyways, I'm going to try to get some sleep, then take another look at them and touch them up in the morning to something a little less craptastical.

[Nobudi]

Sounds like a plan to me Misc. I could do with the same.

[MiscChaos]

You know, I'm much more critical of myself when I'm low of sleep. Go figure. Anyways, posts are away!

[Laughing Hyena]

Damn. I actually dialed it back a touch with how preachy Pokemon can get and it still wasn't enough. ^_^ Ah well change of tactics.
