Pokemon Umbral Theatre 9: Ode to Gardevoir...Yes, Again.

But I didn't ADD anything to Mollesk! He's the same as he was last mission. The recent backlash that you two are warning me about are results of TWILOCH whom AB THE GM made. That's like you saying that Mollesk and Renny should be nerfed every time a new character who has the ability to buff an ally with stat boost or an extra abiilty comes along. That's not my fault at all. That's just the nature of the Ability or the allies. I didn't try to add to his power. That was just a side effect of more characters coming in and thus with more options, that I can't control.

I'm not saying he should be nerfed every time it turns out to be possible for him to use some sort of combo.

But I am saying that every time we balance, we don't just consider the current power of the ability/character, we also consider what it might be in the future. And then we make an educated guess. If our guess turns out to be wrong, it may be necessary to rebalance.

When I didn't say anything against Mollesk when we had agreed on the BR, it was assuming that, for the time being, Mollesk wasn't too overpowered. But I didn't expect that skills allowing you to buff another target would pop up. Now that they are popping up, Simple gives even more advantages, and honestly, seemingly pretty few disadvantages. It's simply more powerful that we thought it would be.

Mind you, rebalancing isn't necessary, yet. There's potential for you to go the Way Of The Superbuffed Mollesk, sure. But as long as you don't use this potential, there's no need to balance you. If you do use this potential, there will be, I think. Because it'd be too powreful.

So like I said. You can start comboing with Mollesk. But in that case I will go 'He is comboing with Mollesk, that is too powerful, we must weaken him' and I guarantee that you will be the only individual to disagree with me.

Or we can retain the status quo. I won't jump up as soon as Mollesk benefits from Simple, that'd be a dickhead thing to do. I'll just trust you not to exploit Mollesk to its fullest potential. Much less effort, that way.
We're going to end up balanced either way. Which would you prefer?
