Pokemon Umbral Theatre 8: Introducing the Hexagon Harem

[Menarker]

Sakuya is a Shocker Trooper, judging from the fact she arrived in a fancy Samurai RDPA. From a roleplaying perspective and from a tactical perspective, she'd be a good choice. At least that's what I'm saying before I even seen what her stats and abilities are like (and everyone else's stats).

[Dracorion]

She might be an Enforcer!

Also, I believe AB said she wouldn't be available for this mission. I'm not sure why.

[Menarker]

Well, Gem also needs an enforcer. So that part won't be a problem. Although I'd think that she is a Shock Trooper and Mio being an enforcer. Just guessing though.

As for her potentially not being available for the mission, guess I'll just wait for AB to finish everything then. ^^; I thought that she would take great pride in leaving Faynoc and all his works bloodied and broken after what he did to her daughter.

I don't even care about stats, really. I don't intend to give stats to original Pokemon. And if you want stats to count in battle, you should post them out yourself, like Renny tends to do.

Renny: "My Magnezone is doing this, and it has a really high Special stat so it's going to hurt more than what you're going to guesstimate."

There's no way I can juggle all that. If you told me to try and do it anyways, I'd cancel the RP and use an altered version of this system to create a survival horror style RP I've been wanting to do for a very long time.

[Dracorion]

Fair 'nuff.

God knows, I don't want to be like Menarker.

[Menarker]

Well, there isn't anything I can do until AB finishes the data, so I'm heading for bed since I got 3 assignments due soonish and I'll need to spend most of tomorrow to do it.

Thank God this is going to be the last big batch of characters until the sequel. Throughout the rest of the RP, we'll probably have one per episode, if even that.

But Menarker's important. He's like some kind of Pokemon Wikipedia. Hell, he may even know how I can access a program which lets me calculate damage based on actual stats.

Like, I dunno, I could go "This is the power, this is the accuracy, this is the attacking statistic being used, and these are the other effects for the user and the move. And over there is the defending statistic, it's going to be super-effective, and then there's this debuff that matters. Calculate that for me and tell me the HP damage." and the program would do it for me.

Even a helpful program like that would take too long because I have to use it for every flippin' attack on both sides. Well, except for attacks where it's plainly obvious that it's going to be a KO, but still, that's a lotta data.

[Menarker]

Such a program does exist somewhat, but we would have to be heavily scale down damage (or increase hitpoints) because pokemons with pretty high stats like the ones we're using on tend to reliably OHKO or do 70-80% of a pokemon's maximum hitpoints ingame if they hit for STAB and super effectiveness. It would indeed be too much work to get all the data anyhow. It's not the sort of scale we would want to use for the setting we have.

Anyhow, I do try to be useful to AB (and everyone else) as a middle-man bulbapedia and being willing to sum up all the details so AB doesn't have to spend as much time on guesstimating what effects we might do to the opposing side. >_> Although there isn't much I can do to help with the opposing side attacking us. (Such as with that incident with the hardy and stamina powered Swampert being knocked out by Snorlax's hyper beam which uses its weak special attack stat as opposed to its strong physical attack stat.)

[Dracorion]

Shush you.

[Astral Harmony]

RP post will be done tonight after work. Hopefully, that mess of character data can be done as well. At least I'm hoping they'll let us off early. We didn't really leave much work left to do.
