Pok?mon Umbral Discussion 10: PvPing Inside and Outside the RP

[Astral Harmony]

Sorry, everyone. I just read the e-mail Bard sent. Y'know, I've been looking for the link to the new NPF and apparently I was struck with temporary retardation.

Unfortunately, it's almost time for me to go to work. Yeah, wonderful time for me to find out about it now, right? Anyways, I'll be back to resume what's going on this afternoon as soon as I get off of work.

I'm just glad we're not in a battle, or picking up where we left off could take all night, heh heh heh.

EDIT: I must say I do like the arrangement of my information in this new forum. Got all my shit to the left of my post instead of all over the place. But it kinda sucks that all my shortcuts are now useless and I'm going to end up going through all my old discussion threads this weekend to find it all.

Goddamnit.

*looks downcast while poking index fingers together*

I'm weawwy sowwy...

[Dracorion]

Oh no you don't young lady! You're not getting off that easy.

Now go to your room and don't come out until you've answered every question we've ever asked, even the ones you've already answered.

[Astral Harmony]

Could I get those questions as a list? Not that I won't try to read this discussion thread to make sure I've got everything, but it could certainly help in making sure I haven't missed anything that you sons 'a' bitches wonderful forumites have asked.

[Dracorion]

No, that's part of your punishment.

I'll get around to it if I can.

EDIT: Here goes. All the questions since downtime. You might still want to read up because there was some stuff said about leadership. Of course, you don't have to. But my personal selfish opinion is that you should.

Anyway, I don't think it's so much wrath as indignation. And if we're going to be split up as often as you say, is Renny still always going to be the definite leader? (by the way, next split Renny should be paired up with Impact and Matt, because those three haven't got a chance to interact in a team up close together, which leaves Pierce with Charlotte. Just sayin')

Just sayin'.

Link to Enmakki's profile (every paragraph is a question).

You should see the rest of this post. It is hilarious.

It would suck, but I suppose I could drop it to like 670, 660, 650 or 640. Preferably 670.

...

EDIT: And Geminex, I really really want Enmakki to have Spore. I mean, it's not like legendaries don't get to pick moves from a large variety of types. But I realize with Enmakki and Dialga on the way, Pierce's team is in danger of getting too overpowered. I mean, he'd end up with Tyranitar, Blaziken, Metagross, Nagarai, Enmakki and Dialga. That's three pseudo-legendaries, two legendaries and a Blaziken. If not Spore, can it at least get Dark Void?

Menarker's idea (every paragraph is a question).

We could just give it no HMs initially and just take the HMs available to whatever it transforms into.

As for being overpowered, there's always time for balancing later. And by "balancing" I mean "SLAYER UPGRADES, FUCK YEAH".

"It" is Enmakki. UPGRADES, FUCK YEAH.

Impact: Tch. We really stepped in it now.
Pierce: What, you can't handle this many? Pussy.
Impact: And you can?
Pierce: Hell yeah.
Impact: Well, I'm not losing to you. Not to a filthy coward that hides behind beasts.
Pierce: (Maniacal laugh, runs off to kill shit) AHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Pierce would of course be a Battle Master by then, and without his pokemon for some reason.

Charlotte would get a badass kick-the-dog moment. If my example isn't enough for Impact, he can have one after he gets mind control where everything goes perfectly and he accomplishes something big (perhaps his takeover of the world, but probably not). Not sure about Renny or Matthias.

Everyone else, feel free to post anything I missed.

[Menarker]

Well, I had sent AB a PM that didn't get a response. Mostly in line with upgrades and which would also change/vary depending on AB's response to the entire pokemon power level (whether a pokemon with 680 base stats is yes or hell no.)

[Dracorion]

Come on. He already okayed Dialga for me and that has 680 stats so obviously having one is okay. Having two is the question.

[Geminex]

Maybe trainers could have a legendary/semi-legendary limit. Say, 1 Legendary, 2 semi-legendaries. One of your upgrades could be to remove that limit. And by 'Upgrade', I mean that you get it instead of going Master Of Battle. That'd give you the ability to make your team overpowered without necessarily making your entire character overpowered.

[Dracorion]

What?

No, fuck you.

EDIT: To clarify: fuck you. How would you justify it in the RP?
