Pokemon Umbral Discussion 37: You Don't Want To Enter This Thread - Page 2

Eh, sure. You're in mud, now. Go do some wrestlin'.

Togekiss is still wounded from the laser, but it isn't dead.

Irene is, and it should be obvious by this point, Rayleen's replacement. In a way, Melanie will be replacing Dormond. So yes, they'll be permanent members of the Watchmen.

Unfortunately, Irene's Powerful Presense skill only works on Melanie right now. Whatever Pokemon you have Irene deploy will also be affected.

Because Renny, Pierce, and Charlotte do the vast majority of their damage through their Pokemon, their Psyshades will fight very differently. Expect them to fight a lot like if they were Slayers.

The Deep Freeze status effect is very similar to Frozen, except that instant death is possible through the means of a critical hit. Deep Freeze is applied by hitting an enemy that is Frozen with that same status effect, and it's also possible for Frozen units to enter Deep Freeze state on a very cold battlefield. The desert where the Honmyr Prideguard's main base is located is a good example of a cold environment. Especially at night. It makes for great harsh weather training for the troops.

My document says that Moonbeam Disco hits three targets, not four. If you have the data elsewhere, let me know and I'll unfuck myself.

Moera died. Quit grumpin', y'grump. Sure, maybe Impact's Swarm Bow did do more damage than I indicated, but I'm not going to change it since the overall desired effect was achieved.

Irene and Melanie's Rage indications are at 50.

Dracorion · 08-17-2010, 01:58 PM

Two things: We need someone to clear away the Fog, and we can't use Wilhelmina because her Dark-type bullet was made for this.

Unless you can use a Rage Rocket on yourself, then yeah, have Shaymin use Divide.

Also, Desperado is non-elemental. That means Almighty.

Even if Irene's Shock Trooper skill works on our formation, I dunno if it'll work with Mollesk's Simple ability.

Fortunately, Charlotte has enough Rage for a Focus and Future Shock.

Pierce is going to have so much fun.

AUGH GODDAMNIT.

Yeah, you're right. Fuck.

Yeah, I just don't want you to go assumin' Impact's attacks are weaker somehow.

... Actually nevermind, I never said anything.

Astral Harmony · 08-17-2010, 02:03 PM

I wonder how Renny will behave now that there's another Pokebrid nurse chick around?

If Dante doesn't post what Matthias looks like, I'll just create my own idea of him and use that to finish the comic.

Menarker · 08-17-2010, 02:04 PM

... I feel embaressed about the Moonbeam Disco thing now. I quite remember it being four back when it was first made. Probably an edit from the second time it was made and I didn't notice it. ^^;

I'd still like to know if Moun is alright at this point.

EDIT: And Renny would steer clear of anyone who is a self-claimed sadist.

Dracorion · 08-17-2010, 02:05 PM

Apparently, Melanie only cares for breaking girls so it seems we won't have her trying to drag Renny down to her torture chamber.

Yeah, but chances are that this plot will at some point see Renny in a dress and a wig (probably for no reason at all). Aside from Angelo and Aster, he's the only one who could pull off that look.

Muon's fine. Strangely, I imagine her doing something pretty normal right now, like getting a hotdog and a root beer from a street vendor.

Dracorion · 08-17-2010, 02:15 PM

Well you gotta reward their dedication if the street vendors are still going strong while everything is going to hell around them.

I mean, their carts are probably joining the piles of stuff being lifted off the ground to wreck our shit.

And you realize that now you have to put Renny in a dress and a wig, right? Say that Lola likes cross-dressing or something. Hell, come up with some wacky shenanigans involve Renny and a bottle of scotch or something, but it must happen.

Crossdressing jokes aside, Renny seeks happiness and joy and peace among other things. Melanie takes things in the other direction, so Renny would definately not feel comfortable around her.

"I thought you took the Hippocratic Oath!"
"I had my fingers crossed."

As for Renny getting drunk, Mollesk wine would easily suffice since he makes the damn stuff himself. :3

Geminex · 08-17-2010, 02:23 PM

Whee! Thank god for airport lounges!
We should also do something with Charlotte's rage. Bitch needs to get a love-tech. No, I don't care about not having had your sidequest yet, we need something other than future shock to burn your rage on. Though I guess future shock would work for now.

Mind you, I don't have any of my notes, so I won't have too much to say. I'm thinking the following...

You guys are probably right in saying that it'll be hard to get the asuras un-dominated in time...
But still, quite a few of them are weakened...

I think we're gonna need another CCC this turn, almost certainly... Cause see, what I'd propose is this:
Some of the Betas are already weakened. We should kill A, certainly. If we have any fire-type attacks, probably D and/or E as well. Alternately, we could just paralyze the two, though eliminating them altogether would probably be best. We should leave the other two alive, though if we have a spare super fang, we can throw it their way.

Then...
I think psitellites altogether have a bit more potential to be Really Fucking Annoying then the shades do. But the big question there is... do shades gather rage? can they use signature techniques? Cause one thing that'd annoy me above all else is Phantom Renny yelling about Phantom Friendship and using a Phantom Blessing to protect our targets from doom.

Mind you, I'm hoping that the answer to that question is no, so once the Asuras are dead, I'd definitely go for the 'lites. We have quite a few bug attacks... Though I'm hoping Impact is more effective against them than he was against Moera.

Though we should also probably focus on killing Matt's and Impact's shade, sooner than later. It's one thing for a trainer to lose a few more pokemon, quite another for Matt or Impact to get hit by their shade, a beta, and then some random damage and going down.

AB, gonna have to ask: How does dual-classing work?
Ok, so the question's bit general...
But that is the extent of my question. How does it work? I mean, sure, I get that battle masters can both deploy themselves and two pokemon in battle, combining the abilities of both trainers and slayers (though it is still completely and utterly retarded to have pokemon go rogue if their battle master reaches 0 HP in combat). But what about Slayer/Pokebrid combinations? Do they get to attack twice? And what stats do they use? Slayer stats? Pokebrid stats? Combination of the two?
And what if someone dual-classes to Trainer/Snagger. Do they get to deploy 4 pokemon, and have an arsenal of up to... 12 pokemon?
I'll have some time in the next few days. If I may, I'd like to write up an action-based system. Nothing too comblex, just a theoretical basis. Because the system we're using now is more or less 'play it by the ear'. And I don't think that will work very well when more upgrades come in later..

Menarker, I'm not entirely sure about Mollesk. I certainly don't think you can delay an action until the end of the turn. Stuff like focus punch would be brutal otherwise. Also, I don't think that simple amplifies 'aura' boosts. What else do you have in your arsenal? In fact, what do you all have left?

Astral Harmony · 08-17-2010, 02:24 PM

If Renny's got to cross-dress, there is a strong possibility that you, Impact, and Matthias might have to as well. It would have to be for a mission.

Impact: "I am not dressing in drag."
Renny: "I guess that means you don't get to be leader, then."
Impact: "What?!"
Charlotte: "Let's face it. They're not going to let men in there. If you want to lead, then get changed already."
Impact: "But...I...that's..."
Pierce: "Well?"
Impact: "Aw goddamn it! Fine, hand me the wedding dress, that blond wig, and that makeup set."
Renny, Charlotte, Pierce, and Matthias: "???"
Impact: "Well, it's just...y'know, if you're gonna do something, do it right? Right?"
