Pokemon Umbral Theatre 10: Pictures I Don't Think You Want Explained - Page 3

Hey guys, a thought occurred to me that I want to ask about.

You know how a pokemon who uses Baton Pass switches out with another pokemon who is not fighting at the time and give to them any status changes whether stat boosts/loss, wish, mean look and that sort of thing?

I was just wondering if it can be possible for the purpose of this RP for a pokemon to Baton Pass any benefits it has to its owner with levels in classes that enables them to personally fight, despite the fact that they aren't inside pokeballs.

Example being if Renny has got his pokebrid form and he has Swampert and Umbreon out on the field. Umbreon has used Curse a few times to boost her attack and her defense but loses some speed. Could Umbreon use Baton Pass to transfer the benefits to Renny, although forcing him to be an active combatant (with boosted attack/defense and speed penalty) and causing Umbreon to get recalled?

You just want to buff Mollesk to all hell and pass the benefits to Renny, don't you?

Well, as long as you don't do that, Baton Pass should be fine.

I never gave Mollesk Baton Pass in his moveset. I felt from the start that would be too broken.

Approval plz kthx

And YES give Charlotte Discord or Kyrie! That would be wonderful! Discord and Charlotte would have the biggest bitch-off, and Kyrie and Charlotte would be kill stealing eachother at a every corner!

It would be great! I choose one of them!

Whats Discord's line-up again? Have we seen it yet?

Dracorion · 09-28-2010, 11:10 AM

It's in the document!

Bard The 5th LW · 09-28-2010, 11:12 AM

k

edit: saw it. Leaning on Kirie, but I'll wait for Dante's opinion.

Dracorion · 09-28-2010, 11:20 AM

Okay, Discord's bonus versus Humanoids might be useful.

But you might want to try to convince Geminex and Menarker to trade their Shock Trooper for an Engineer.

DanteFalcon · 09-28-2010, 12:15 PM

I'm stupid. Never mind. I'll look at enforcers later.

I do like Kirie better than Discord in response to Bard.

Dracorion · 09-28-2010, 12:23 PM

Kirie's a Shock Trooper, Dante. She can't be an Enforcer.

Geminex · 09-28-2010, 02:16 PM

Just what in the hell is going on over here. You spend one day doing work on your PC and when you get back everyone's being crazy an inefficient. You wonder what the hell these clowns would do without you.

Okay, okay, sorry. It's not that bad, obviously.

But in regrads to setup...
Huh. I think, if anything, we should be planning for the final battle.
Drac, what's gonna happen? Will we get slots for all our specialists? Or only the usual one of each? And in that case, will we be using Shizuka and Chizuru?

Assuming that's the case... If we don't wanna cripple ourselves later, one of us will need to bring an engie. The stronger team. And we'll probably need Mirror, cause his amplifiers will benefit the Kimonos quite a lot. Other than that, it doesn't really matter too much. If renny wants Lola, he can have Lola. We should make tactically intelligent decisions, but I think the preliminary battles won't be too hard...
As long as we get that engie (I guess he'll be my choice if Renny's taking Lola), we'll be cool.
As for enforces, pick some who're good at physical attacks, I guess, to benefit from Mirror's amps. And try to have pokemon, if possible, that'll make it easier to counter enemy strategies, and make you more survivable.

Matt's upgrades: 5-turn paradigm shift is actually pretty strong. Could you maybe slip that in a later level?

Was there anything else?
