Pokemon Umbral Discussion 28: A Wild Cerulean Wildfire Appears!

[Menarker]

>_> Being a tad bit ungrateful, eh? You forgetting the rage rockets to Pierce and all the support Renny has been doing? Renny is already doing practically full-time support helping Pierce and everyone else.

*Wonders if I should scratch Pierce off Propserous Gift list* =P

But seriously, I doubt you actually took that in account when sending out Tyranitar. ^^ It'll help out a lot though, and it will likely pay off with a very useful Follow Me protection. Wildfire's plasma attack seems very special type based. Seems like something Mollesk could resist with Special Defense exceeding 1500.

[Dracorion]

That's different. Because you're not a petty, spiteful bastard and I am.

Besides, Pierce getting extra RPs is much less selfish than Mollesk getting extra Special Defense. Especially since I'm damned certain most of Wildfire's attacks are going to be multi-target, so Follow Me will be useless.

And how would it exceed 1500? Mollesk's Special Defense caps out at 999, take 50% of that and it makes just below 1500.

[Menarker]

Somehow, you yourself saying that you are a petty spiteful bastard makes me feel much better... somehow... dunno why.

^^; My imagination went wild just waking up in the morning, that I screwed up on the math. Still, a near 500 boost to a stat is pretty freaking sweet.


EDIT: I realized there are probably more "inspired characters" than I originally thought existed...

I mentioned before how Chizuru having the largest breasts and being obssessed with maternal affection and house-wife traits being a shout-out to Mahou Sensei Negima who has a girl with the same name, largest tits in the class and is the most maternal of the entire class (and scary/dangerous if you piss her off apparently.)

Lola seem very much similar to her counterpart in that Loony Toons movie "Space Jams" with the same pink fur, same name, and is a humanoid bunny.

Wilhelmina is a battle maid in this RP, while in Shakugan No Shana there is a battle maid character with the same name. (Although this RP, she is a sniper, while the manga counterpart is a ninja.)

Moon Travoria reminds me rather similar to the Travoria family in Dominic Deegan, Luna in particular (wealthy family, adept with water types.)

Whatever you asked about Mollesk's shit was way above my head. Let me go ahead and admit that my knowledge of Pokemon isn't terribly great. My strategy usually never involved buffs and debuffs. It's always been about "Kill that muthafuckah with levels in excess of 30 above the enemy!" I'm a grinder. When it comes to RPGs, I tend to grind my force so that they're way beyond capable of destroying the enemy.

Anyways, let me go ahead and clear a few things up, though it's nothing serious at all:

Gardenoir's Signature Technique being named "Umbral Awakening" actually is a coincidence. They don't know dick about Ruin Pokemon. I was just thinking about an attack named "something of awakening" or "awakening something" and then I said to myself "Hey, I already have something called Umbral Awakening! Why don't I just use that?"

Yep, I'm retarded.

I hadn't seen Mahou Sensei Negima before Chizuru starred off in Soldiers of Light, so that connection is coincidence as well. I've seen it since, but I didn't remember a girl named Chizuru in there. Maybe because there's so many girls in there. Great anime, though.

Lola's reference is pretty spot on, though unconsciously spot on. I wasn't really thinking about it when I created her. I knew there was the name Lola and it was associated with an anthropomorphic bunny, but I just couldn't pin it. Space Jam, eh? Yeah, now I remember.

Wilhelmina is good in name only. I liked that name ever since I heard it on Shakugan no Shana. I tend to work that name in, usually for a mysterious and powerful woman type. Just sounds like a kickass name for a chick, don't it? A name like that probably comes with its own stat boosts.

I was thinking about Garus Vakarian from Mass Effect when I came up with Moon Travorian. Not sure why. I had read Dominic Deegan before, though. That dude knows how to tell some bitchin' stories. Wish I could draw as good as him, too.

EDIT: Just read the posts. Wow, I feel like a dick. When creating those moves, I thought of Sephiroth's uncanny ability to drag the Final Fantasy VII world right into the sun and yet after, the planet still remains and everyone else still seems to be alive. I find it rather humorous how the characters in RPGs are always trying to outdo each other by having the most ridiculous attacks ever. Like when Squall does that one Limit Break where he creates a beam out of his gunblade that actually exits the atmosphere and pierces the heavens.

Rest assured that no people were harmed in the making of those attacks. Those were just physics-defying attacks that are getting all too common in certain RPGs.

[Dracorion]

Really? I'd prefer it if the attacks actually did kill people.

Mostly because then my post isn't completely ridiculous.

Menarker, would you like to do the honors on this one?

Oh, and sorry 'bout my absence today. Been busy. I'll post later this evening.

Edit:
Oh, and we need to have at least one more party that features Karaoke. Preferrably when I have time to post. Cause then I could have Impact get drunk and sing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5mtclwloEQ&feature=fvw

Edit2:
Did you realize: "Slaughter" is just laughter with an S at the front.
You also can't spell "funeral" without FUN, but that's another matter.
Anyway, what to do?
I'm fine with what healing we're currently doing, but we have some spare resources. Let's buff a bit.
Charlotte should probably go for a nasty plot again... not sure about the other move. Maybe use a max revive on hammond? Or a rage rocket on herself. Whatever she wants.
Pierce... does tyranitar have any buff moves? Try to power up a bit. I'm not sure what you could do.
Renny's busy...
Impact has a Max Revive at hand, he could use it to do some good for once. Question is... who?
I don't think Harliette has many buff moves. Healing, yes. But no buff. Just let her sit there and wait? Suggestions would be welcome.
I'm sure matt can buff himself. Does Porygon2 have nasty plot? If so, use that. If not, take your pick. And what uber-techniuqe does your Porygon form have? Have you chosen one yet?
Moon has some nice buff moves. He could send out poliwrath and have it use bulk up. He also has swords dance on Crawdaunt, but I don't think that would help us much. Though then again, crabhammer is pretty strong. What d'you all think?
Rachel's obviously off using items. She can heal her empoleon for free, since she loses 25 extra-item rage and gains 25 pokemon-revived rage.

And I think that's it. Not much, but we're an offensive team, not optimized for buffing...

[Menarker]

AB: Still waiting to hear if Wilhelmina is in good condition or badly damaged and all that, due to Lopunnish's attack.

Anyhow, I'll leave your buffing/healing matters that isn't Renny related up to you guys, almost pretty much everyone is healed up. Had done my post already.

Although I would think Crawdaunt's Sword Dance would be good for picking off soldiers. It got a naturally high power after all, so doubling that is good. ^^

Matt could use Psych Up on Impact with Poryzon Z to get +2 stage boosts to all stats (since Impact should be at +4 by now) ^^ Doubling all the boostable stats would be neat, especially since Porygon Z got Special Attack as high as Alakazam (Its Hyper Beam is probably the strongest possible due to STAB in addition to the high Special Attack.)

As for Harriette, check to see if any of her remaining pokemons have a buff move or something they can prepare in advance.

Agreed. Otherwise, we become Dragon Ball Z.

And yeah my turn will consist of this.
Sol-leks: Nasty Plot
Other: Max Revive on Hammond

[Astral Harmony]

Nah, we're not Dragon Ball Z. It doesn't take five missions of trashtalking for us to actually get to fighting. Buh dum tsh!

Wilhelmina is relatively fine and raring to go.

I'll do my post now.

EDIT 1: Actually, do you guys need more time? I just wanna make sure you've done all within your power to get ready. Ceru's no Pokegeddon, but she's not to be trifled with.

[Geminex]

I'll have Impact give a few orders. Gimme a sec.
