Pokemon Umbral Discussion 25: Pokegeddon Returns

[Menarker]

I'd take care of it. I have to deal with the rocket boosting the party anyhow! I'm working intimately with it already. And both of my techniques involve math with them... Granted, it's simple adding, but with tons of people in the party, one can always screw up.

Pierce: Did you do a Trainer Attack in the last round? If so +15 rage. If not, +10 RP (Up to 70-75)
Impact: +5. No rage gain for the second one since you spent rage to use Sweep. -25 RP (Down to 35)
Renny: +15 RP (3 hits) (Up to 80)
Charlotte: Did you do a Trainer Attack in the last round? If so, +10 rage. If not, +5. (Up to 65-70)
Matthias: +5 (55)
Harriette: +10 (one pokemon attacked and that is doubled) (70)
Moon: +15 (3 hits) (15)
Rachel: +5 (60)
Wilhelmina: +5 (60)

How bout this: I do the evaluating, you make the calls. It's less that I don't trust my assessment of the situation, and more that I just don't trust my own judgement, due to my history of hoarding power-ups.

Anyway, I'll wait for a reply to my edit, then I'm off to bed.

Edit:

Impact: No rage gain since you spent rage to use Sweep. -25 RP

I don't think that applies. Or, at least it shouldn't. I'm annoyed at having used it anyway, I'd like to at least gain the rage for 1 attack, if not 2.

[Dracorion]

I'd really rather not have anything to do with Rage. I'd either always use 'em or never use 'em.

Menarker, I think you're confused. Our collective RPs went back to 50. Because this is a new battle. Everyone is healed too.

[Menarker]

I'm just following AB rule. No RP gain for attacks for which you spent rage. Although your first attack was your normal one. I guess you get 5 rage at most.

Not confused at all. I actually read carefully. It's true we all got healed, but rage is not set back to 50.

Also, to respond to a few posts above regarding Mollesk, AB said these guys would make Phantomere look like a punk. It's bound to take several rounds. Plus, it makes Mollesk more likely to survive being hit while gaining rage in the process.

Fair enough. I'd usually argue that Sweep is just an enhancement to my normal attack, instead of a technique that exists on its own, and that I should get ten rage, but I'm willing to hold back for now. I'm hoping AB replies to my question regarding Slayer rage. And I'm hoping that when Slayer rage generation gets doubled, that'll also apply retroactively. Or we halve the cost of all of Impact's techniques. Yeah, that'd be cool.
...

And wait a second, are you giving yourselves RPs for trainer attacks?
Ah well, we could use the RPs. I won't protest, for now. But if we're using it, the enemies'll use it. And fuck, they're trainer attacks. You should have to pay rage to use them, not get rage.

[Menarker]

Well, I edited by giving you 5 rage for the first attack, since I counted sweep as an additional attack and not some sort of enhancement.

Well, technicically, I haven't done a single Trainer Attack myself in the entire RP. Heck, they aren't even mentioned in AB's database.

[Dracorion]

Pretty sure they are in the trainer upgrades section.

Also yeah, I misunderstood.

[Menarker]

Oh, now I see it. It isn't called Trainer Attack though, so I couldn't find it with Ctrl F. But it's a level 3 trainer benefit. But yeah, no RP cost for that and it's a free action, so gaining Rage from that is ok.

EDIT: And I noticed that Muon's Milk of Plenty ability only affects Pokemon. >_> AB doesn't want us to accidently close down this RP. :3

[Dracorion]

Y'know, Aria is a pokemon.

Just sayin'.

Also, if Pierce did a Trainer Attack then he now has 80 Rage. If Shizuka was anywhere near, he could unleash some appley goodness. But hey, two turns from now he can do Hellfire instead.

[Menarker]

Where did that extra 5 rage come from? AB posted that you had 60 rage because you started at 50 and both your pokemon attacked. But nothing was mentioned about you doing a trainer attack or getting hurt.

Not that it matters too much. If I do the Rocket Party Booster thing, you'll get to 100 with 75 rage.

Also, Drac, AB said that the Gal-Techs don't NEED the girls to be in the same battle. It's like a move that you're inspired to learn that you can do it passably by yourself, but do it easier when they are there helping you out (cost split).
