Pok�mon Umbral Discussion 7: Plusle and Minun Equals Zero - Page 9

@Bard: In your post, you attacked with Psychic on Breloom saying it had a double weakness. It doesn't have a double weakness to psychic but to flying.

Hey, I'm back. Time to put on some porn, sync some music into my iPod, and make another three-hour post in the RP thread, because that's what true multitaskers are all about.

EDIT: I didn't proofread it before I posted it, but I will now.

Let me mention some things that I mentioned in the post that bears mentioning again...if I may mention.

When legendary Pok�mon are defeated in a fight with a Ruin General, they unleash one final attack before before succumbing to their defeat. This move is unique and very powerful. It's called a Testament Drive.

Paralysis is more effective at preventing badly injured victims from acting than it is on healthy sufferers.

The Kimonos, in certain combinations, have access to powerful moves called Signature Sequences, similar to the Syncstrikes employed by Ruin Pok�mon.

As to why Phantomere waited until he was last to use Sinister Slash, that was because I foolishly hadn't thought of the move until it was time to finish up with Phantomere. Consider yourselves lucky.

Geminex · 03-30-2010, 05:11 AM

Son of a bitch. Sinister slash is annoying. Methinks it shouldn't have been an accident that it was last. Give it minimal priority (that's... -7, right?), otherwise our enemies could just sweep us.

Do we get to know beforehand what signature sequences do? Please? And, more importantly, who they're going to hit?

Edit:
Well, AB's signed off, so I'm going to wait with my post until he's answered my questions.

What I'm thinking is that whoever can, should heal themselves. We all brought a few full restore, didn't we? Good. What we do then depends on AB's decision. If the Kimonos hit Phantomere, then I'd recommend that perhaps one or two of us join in their attack. The rest can finish off the sleeping Pulverot and the remaining Narcham. We should have enough forces at our disposal to manage that, though to guarantee that Phantomere dies, the other side should also throw in a super-effective attack or two. (Unless, of course, AB tells us that the Signature sequence kills Phantomere, in which case the same applies as before, only perhaps we can manage to spare one or two guys to stun or sleep Whitney's pokemon. Then we spend the Next round killing Omnisroth.

If their attacks somehow deal damage to Omnisroth as well (and, more imporantly lower its stats), then we go ahead with Operation Heart Disease. (That is to say, we murder the crap out of Omnisroth.)

It may have changed it recent generations, but I'm pretty sure grass is weak to to psychic along with fighting. Just yesterday in Heartgold, I got a super-effective against a bell sprout with confusion.

E: Wait, didn't realize Bellsprout is part poison. Well, one type advantage work to.

Menarker · 03-30-2010, 10:32 AM

As awesome as the testament drive is, Latios should have gotten quite a bit of health back due to the three ghosts that had taken its life energy being killed and thus returning its health back.

EDIT: If Shaymin gets her testament drive (and she should. She's legendary) I half expect Renny's portion of the room if not the entire room to bloom in flowers and grass as a neat side effect. :3

Dracorion · 03-30-2010, 02:05 PM

Jesus Christ, are all Ruin Generals going to have bastard attacks like that?

Fuck it, I'm going for my legendary right after Pierce's sidequest.

Astral Harmony · 03-30-2010, 02:34 PM

Hey, Armored here with the morning hour before work post in the Discussion thread.

That'll most likely be the only time in the battle Sinister Slash is used, fear not. After all, you've all still got a lot of enemies to wade through.

Tsubasa and Chizuru's Signature Sequence will hit Phantomere, all three trainers and all of their deployed Pok�mon. For assloads of damage. It's likely, depending on damage the Pok�mon have suffered beforehand, that all six enemy Pok�mon might be wiped out. The attack deals insane Rock and Flying type damage.

All Ruin Generals are going to have powerful attacks. They are the real boss fights in this story, bosses that an Omnisroth and Moera can't shine a candle to. Some of their best attacks will be weaker, but can be used more times. Some'll be powerful as shit, but may only see one use in the battle.

An idea formed in my mind that the ultimate goal of the good guys will be to fight an epic battle with all the legendary Pok�mon against the origin of Ruin Pok�mon, and by that time all Ruin Generals will also have been destroyed. This will, of course, occur naturally throughout the missions so that I don't have to just create more missions when the time comes. The NPCs, from Rayleen to the Kimonos to some I haven't introduced yet, will have a large percentage of them already.

Menarker · 03-30-2010, 03:21 PM

As awesome as that sounds, I kinda dislike the fact that it seems to put a huge emphasis on legendary pokemons while sidelining the others to more support roles that can't even be used if you have multiple legendaries.
Nothing against the idea itself, but Renny is one of those true blue friend type who would prefer to fight with the reliable team/companions that he has worked with instead of just using legendary pokemons as if they were weapons to be wielded.

EDIT: I'm half wondering if there is a way to double up on one's primary class in lieu of dual-classing if one wanted to.
Example would be Renny becoming "Pokemon Master" an upgraded form of Pokemon Trainer. In a way, it's like saying Renny is dualclassing PokemonTrainer/PokemonTrainer.

With that sort of double-classing, Renny would be a Chick Magnet!

Dracorion · 03-30-2010, 03:46 PM

Well, you don't have to keep Latias. We could always just let the NPCs keep all the legendaries.

And I still have dibs on Dialga. I'll murdelize whichever one of them bitches has it just so I can get it.

And also, I noticed all the enemy Battle Masters and Battle Mages get to have two pokemon out and they get to attack, while our Battle Masters and Mages have to use only one pokemon if they want to attack for themselves. I call bullshit.

Astral Harmony · 03-31-2010, 01:35 AM

Don't worry about that part. In the final battle spree where having the legendary Pok�mon will actually matter, they'll fight independantly of your team. Kind of more like a background fighting thing. So you get to have the benefit of using your personal favorites without having to put up with legendaries.

Call bullshit all you like, you'd kick their asses if they didn't have that advantage. I am god in this RP. I am the horizontal. I am the vertical. I am 99.9% of all the hot females in this whole thing. Besides, you'll feel a lot better and impress Chizuru a lot more because you faced more difficult odds.

And yes, you can have Dialga. Just gotta find a way for you to get him. There's a surprising amount of legendary Pok�mon out there. Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Mew, Regirock, Regice, Registeel (Rachel), Latias (Renny), Latios (Charlotte), Celebi, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, Palkia, Heatran (NPC Snagger), Regigigas, Giratina, Cresselia, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus...and then there's Tsubasa's Cerbraptor and a handful of other Honmyr original legendaries, including the endboss (yes, the endboss is a legendary, what else would it be?). That's a lot of epic combat that's going to be going on in the background of the final battle. You'll get a choice to use any legendaries you've got, but if you don't want 'em for that battle, they're fighting elsewhere.

The Kimonos themselves will have a good chunk of legendaries. Some you'll be stealing from Faynoc's toughest Pok�brids (like Moera), some will be owned by other NPCs, some will just be messin' around like the Heatran from Mission 1, which is being transferred without explanation to the NPC Snagger you'll pick up in the beach mission.

Now I'm going to post.

EDIT: Sweet, only two people posted! Final Fantasy XIII party, muthafuckas! Fo' shizzle!

EDIT 2: Oh, and there's a super secret, super powerful boss fight you all can do after the final battle. Here's a hint...

In Soviet Russia, Pok�mon catches you!
