Pokemon Umbral Discussion 16: Should We Throw a Sweet Sixteen Party?

[Menarker]

... and that's a problem why? :3

[Dracorion]

For one it's completely unnecessary.

For another, I just wanted to point out your evil plan.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Because it feels sorta forced and weird.

On a separate note. My comp identifies 'Sorta' as an actual word. Gonna have to include that on my next essay. Hey! 'Gonna' counts to. Happy day!

[Menarker]

You say that as if it wasn't obvious. :3

Besides, would you honestly think PATCA would be better off if Renny looked more like he was in his early 20s as opposed to being 16?

But yeah. ^^ That's the "selfish" part of the idea. ^^

But like I said, I don't really care about it THAT much. Just a daydream of sort which would be neat if I did get. :3

*Still adamant about getting Lola though, so no ideas!*

Be as adamant as you like. When Renny dies someone's going to have to comfort Lola.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Actually, if Renny became half-demon, then he might just stay the same age permanently, and eventually Lola (and everyone else he knew) would out-age him and he woul be alone as they die.

Fortunately, Charlotte's friends and family are mostly jerks and psychos like her, so she wouldn't mind to see them go. In fact, she might laugh at some of them on their deathbeds.

Grrrrrr....

On a different topic all together, Drac, have you thought of an ability to replace Dialga's Pressure when you get it? I had a weird idea of a custom one for you that doubles the effects of items and moves that operate based on turns.

Time Stream:
Item, status affliction and move effects that activate once per turn activate twice instead. If they have a duration, they also last half as long.

Leftovers heal double, Sandstorm and Hail hit double but only lasts for 2 and at most 3 turns due to 2 turns being squeezed into one, Toxic kills MUCH faster... and it kinda combos hard with your Enmakki's sleep/nightmare thing, although the pokemon will also have a higher chance of waking up faster due to more time passing.

[Dracorion]

That sounds pretty cool actually.

But I was going to shoot for something that eliminates Roar of Time's recharge. As well as other stuff.

[Menarker]

Ah, ok. *Shrugs*

^^ As much as I try to make combos and tactics for myself, I generally don't mind providing a few ideas for others if they give me a guideline of the intended character tactic or so.

[Dracorion]

Eh, maybe I can try to put 'em together somehow.

Hey AB, am I allowed to make up a new move for Dialga? Because I got a really good one:

Time Slip (status move, can affect user, allies, or foes. One target.)

Increases the flow of time relative to the target. Cooldown and charge-up periods for moves are negated. Items, status afflictions and move effects that activate once per turn activate twice per turn instead (they still last the same amount of turns).

This is the move. I'm considering making it Dialga's ability that takes effect over the whole battlefield, but that might be really fucked up.

Well, actually, if I wanted to make it really really fucked up, I'd have it remove cool down and charge-up and make statuses and items and moves and all that junk activate twice per turn. Kind of a "time flows faster in some aspects, slower in other aspects" kinda deal. And it'd only affect allies.

And to fuck it up so hard it breaks the universe, add the opposite effect on foes.

So basically my two move (or ability) ideas are: the one I put above and,

Time Slip (status move, can affect user, allies, or foes. One target.)

Screws up the flow of time relative to the target. On allies, cooldown and charge-up periods for moves are negated. Items, status afflictions and move effects that activate once per turn activate every two turns instead (they still last the same amount of turns). On foes, cool down and charge-up periods last twice as long. Items, status afflictions and move effects that activate once per turn active twice every turn instead (they still last the same amount of turns).

Yeah, so you only get to eat your Leftovers every two turns. Big deal! You're still taking Toxic, Hailstorm and whatnot damage every two turns.

And yeah, the enemy's Leftovers activate twice per turn. They're still taking Toxic and Hailstorm damage twice every turn!
