Pokemon Umbral Discussion 29: I Dare Nintendo To Make This a Game

Astral Harmony · 06-12-2010, 10:58 PM

Jus' so you know, that's most likely my last time posting pictures with these threads. Kind of annoying having to do it every discussion thread, going through thirty pages of Google Images.

Anyways, let me get to the questions:

- Normally, Sol-leks' Flashfire would work, but against plasma, that's a definitive no.

And if you think you'll be fine since Cerulean Wildfire is likely the only enemy with plasmathrowers, prepare for disappointment. I think it's time you guys fought a tank. They are the military, after all. It'd be silly if all you ever fought were ground troops.

- He could still get the boost, but he'll still be taking damage and be set on fire and all that good nonsense.

- Impact can't get everything switched out at once. Gawd, you'll break poor Daphne's back. You should be nicer to girls.

- Your scouters can identify Ditto and Ditto Pokebrids for you. Some enemies will also have them. People who know the individual you're imitating will also catch on pretty fast. "Hey, you're not wearing the perfume you always do! You're a Ditto in disguise!"

Ditto doppleganging or D-dopp (as it's more commonly referred to in Honmyr) is actually a pretty common thing. It's used mostly for perverse or unnecessary nonsense, like D-dopping a hot chick in order to enter a high profile night club, or D-dopping this girl you're attracted to and then undressing in front of a mirror so you can see what she looks like nekkid. Bunch of sick pervs out there, man.

-----

I think that's all the questions? Well, if you guys still need time, I'll check the RP and post later, but for now, lemme post about this sidequest thing (which I'm thinking of calling the Crosswald Crusade for now) so that you all can think which character you want to play as:

After Mission 3, your good friend and mine, good ol' jolly ol' Burkmont will do what he does best and manipulate shit. Some blame is laid on PATCA because of stupid shit he did, and Rayleen takes all the blame and is placed on suspension and house arrest.

This is a cover, though. Rayleen's not going to sit in her house and wait for shit to drop and Antonio Shevenston knows this all too well. Ergo, he assigns Rayleen a mission: thanks to intel from Alice, it seems like Burkmont's been spending the past several years turning the Honmyr Prideguard into his own personal militia of ne'er-do-wells. He's force retiring all the good folks and enlisting a lot of disreputable characters. Throw in the Gabriel Force (or what remains of it after you've destroyed Cerulean Wildfire) and an arsenal of Pokeweapons plus a Progenitor and you've got an asshole with an army that could pretty easily conquer Honmyr and then the world. The police and PATCA would be the only things that could effectively slow down the invasion, but they wouldn't be strong enough to stop it.

So what could they do? Go to The Recycled City and have a chat with Junk Chief Iris Waynard. The residents of that place are a sturdy lot with surprising tech and a lot of muscle, and if shit should hit the fan, they just might be what Honmyr needs to put the final nail in Burkmont's coffin.

The Cast (so far)
1. Rayleen Crosswald - Shock Trooper and Battle Master, Rayleen spearheads the operation to unite the hard-boiled citizens of The Recycled City against the Honmyr Prideguard by appealing to the Junk Chief Iris Waynard. In order to stop Burkmont, they need an army.
2. Dormond Ferguson - If Rayleen's gone, her trusty Pokebrid butler can't be far behind. Dormond is especially wary on this journey since he knows two other guys in the hastily-formed group that have their sights on Rayleen's heart and body. He can still function as a medic, although Pauline is also assigned to that role.
3. Destruct - Rayleen's personal Pokeweapon, a large two-headed dual-type fire and poison doglike beast. Fanatically loving of and loyal to Rayleen, Destruct pretty much serves to keep boys away from Rayleen.
4. Alice Linebeck - Using this opportunity to ditch the increasingly dangerous work of being a mole in the Prideguard, Alice joins Rayleen and brings weapons she stole directly from Burkmont's private collection as well as her superior technical know-how, becoming a dedicated and worthy Engineer. A rare Battle Rogue, Alice successfully combines the Slayer and Snagger roles.
5. Pauline Reinhart - A trainee nurse that has been given her chance to shine, Pauline is a Pokebrid with great potential as the Medic.
6. Killian Andricksen - Son of the President of Honmyr, Killian hasn't been able to get Rayleen off of his mind since that fateful one night stand, and adds his Pokemon battling skills to the group as an Enforcer.
7. Lucian Caprico - Vorpal Storm mercenary and younger brother of Rayleen's former lover Lucifer, Lucian finds himself getting attracted to Rayleen as he sees her selfless and bold nature in combat. As a Battle Master with the Legendary Pokemon Palkia on his side, Lucian will go the distance for both his love and his paycheck.
8. Discord - Hired alongside Lucian. Another high ranking member of Vorpal Storm and possesses the Legendary Pokemon Dialga. Cold towards pretty much everyone, the only person she acts somewhat familiar towards is Lucian. A skilled Battle Master, she fits the role of the Sniper with ease.
9. Nyoka - The Kimono who wears the orange mini-yukata. A catgirl android created as a pet project by Kiyomi, Takano, and Chizuru, Nyoka is a hyperactive childlike girl who wields a big honkin' laser cannon. Functions as the team's Destroyer unit.
10. Jenny - Police Chief Jenny joins the cause because justice knows no beach vacation! A dedicated officer of the law who recognizes the greater good, Jenny takes a vacation from her precinct to fight baddies alongside Rayleen. A Battle Master who functions as an Enforcer.

Now you hold the fuckin' phone.

If Discord is going to become a good guy how the hell am I supposed to get her Dialga?

I mean, sure, I have no problem murdering the bitch in the face, but that would ruin Pierce's reputation.

Also, damn. I was thinking about having my girl have the hots for Rayleen. Guess I'll just have to pick someone else.

OH GOD FUCK NO YOU GET OUT OF MY HEAD, YOU STUPID IDEA

I should have expected that. I guess we just can't have any leniency when it comes to a boss fight. Nor can we have any awesome on fire Hell-Hounds who just don't care about being on fire.

The Ditto Pokebrid I had in mind was going to be a character of Ambiguous Gender with absolutely no personality or opinions. However (s)he would copy the personality and mannerisms of the person whose form (s)he took. Probably not going to bother with it though.

At the top of my list is a Spiritomb pokebrid. And due to the nature of Spiritomb, is in a constant flux of identity and personality. Because of some problem during the process, the Pokebrid would often emulate whichever 'soul' was dominate at the moment. There are other concepts to go with him though. I got time to to think.

EDIT: WAIT HOLD THE PHONE! Is that Ash crossdressing in the background of the picture?! Seriously, what?

Dracorion · 06-13-2010, 12:10 AM

WOW THANKS BARD FOR THAT BIT OF INFORMATION THAT I COULD HAVE GONE MY WHOLE LIFE WITHOUT KNOWING WOW CHRIST

Bard The 5th LW · 06-13-2010, 12:21 AM

WTF! AB, NO MORE IMAGES EVAR!!

Menarker · 06-13-2010, 12:22 AM

Maybe if you get Discord to somehow like you enough, she'll trade/give it away like how Charlotte gave Latios to Impact or something like that. (Or at least you could if she wasn't going to be spending many missions away with Rayleen in far off locations.)

I was just thinking this morning about how Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy seemed to be rather absent from the line-up. And now Officer Jenny is one of the helpers for that team.

As for Ash cross-dressing, it's not the first time... (Way back when he tried to sneak into Celadon City Gym because he was banned for insulting the perfume that their gym made on the side and how the gym is exclusively girl membership.)

AB, I could help you look for pics if you wish. Continue the tradition and all. :3

EDIT: Yes, Bard. You are right. That IS Ash, in almost the exact same disguise from that episode. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Ashley.png

Dracorion · 06-13-2010, 12:32 AM

WOW MENARKER THANKS FOR ADDING TO THE LIST OF THINGS I NEVER NEEDED TO KNOW THANKS

Bard The 5th LW · 06-13-2010, 12:34 AM

Yes I am aware it happened in the show! Why would it be in a fan-service heavy piece of Fan-art though! Blegh! I'm actually keeping this up because it is getting such a rise out of drac.

Menarker · 06-13-2010, 12:35 AM

... At least James with his inflatable boobs isn't in that shot? (From the banned episode)
