Pokemon Umbral Discussion 21: We'll Get To Mission 3 Eventually...

Astral Harmony · 05-17-2010, 03:42 AM

And not only that, but the comments on the picture were rather humorous:

1. SUDWOODO used EXTREMESPEED! It's not very effective!
CYNTHIA used YAWN!
SUDOWOODO is now asleep!
DAWN used XXX-SCISSOR! It' super effective!
CYNTHIA used GROWL!
SUDOWOODO woke up!
CYNTHIA used BLOCK!
SUDOWOODO used BONE RUSH! But it failed.
CYNTHIA used FLASH!
DAWN used MILK DRINK! It's super effective!
HALOLZ used ENCORE!

2. Dick turned to level 10! Dick wants to learn string shot. Delete a move?

Harden
Pound
Double Team
Gunk Shot

...

Anyways, the Battle System Tutorial is coming along nicely. Yeah, definitely gonna end being a Wednesday thing. Then we'll probably end up spending more time discussing that thing.

^^ Made me smirk a bit. Anyhow, looking forward to the tutorial.

I'm going to go on ahead and guess that Faynoc's visitor is the Psychic Ruin General Marionata. Or Discord, perhaps.

Okay, I'm pretty sure we can expect Mission 3 to be Faynoc kidnapping Jeanette's kid. Will she be rescued in the same mission?

EDIT: Augh damnit AB, you gave Aster the same font color as Pierce on purpose, didn't you?

Geminex · 05-17-2010, 08:23 AM

I'm guessing the kid gets rescued, Jeanette gets kidnapped. Sometime later we have to fight her, kill her. Or un-brainwash her.

And Drac, this is supposed to be a combat/action RP. Not romance novels. Stop making Pierce likable, it's OOC.

Though AB, that's a good question. When do we meet Dinner? When can Impact get on the romance track? And there may have been a few other questions you missed...
Menarker, get on that, I'm tired. I'll compile them next time.

AB said Jeanette would join. SO I'm guessing she doesn't die.

I have a baaaaad feeling about Heidi, though.

Impact getting on the romance track is OOC. Your mother is OOC.

Besides, this is relevant to Pierce's sidequest, totally. Possibly. I mean, you should see Pierce's entire backstory and the reason why he is how he is. I'm kinda wondering if you guys'll like it or think it's OOC.

Though if I can pull it off, I'll have succeeded in my evil plan to turn Pierce into the main character.

AB wanted to introduce Dinner in my sidequest. But I said no because she's too big a nail for my railroad track. Which, by the way, if you stray off of I will beat you to death with.

Although, I could- hmmm... Yeah, maybe if we do that, Dinner can join up. But I'm not going to do it, just to screw with Geminex.

Anyway, I can almost see Impact getting together with Milsha Mathers. Almost. That goddamn accent pretty much makes sure that bitch will never get a man. But yeah, Impact should be able to get on the romance track whenever he wants. He just needs to pick a girl. Y'know, that isn't already taken. That is: touch my bitches and die, motherfucker.

Astral Harmony · 05-17-2010, 01:52 PM

I'll probably end up bringing Dinner in on Mission 4. Mission 4 is a good mission to introduce more pretty girls, even though I've done that on every mission.

I'll answer whatever questions I missed (or ignore them, whatever) when I get home this afternoon. Right now, it's time to go to work.

Or we could just do that thing. Y'know, the thing. With the stuff.

Menarker · 05-17-2010, 07:19 PM

AB: Questions in the previous thread that seemed to be unanswered and I was asked to compile. >_>

By Dracorion:

Hey AB, can we still dual-class with super classes? I mean, am I allowed to be a Breeder/Slayer?

Since we only get one upgrade for one class every mission, I can't see it being broken.

Quote:

By: Menarker:

I saw nothing stating that there would be only one upgrade per mission. Heck, with the previous one that was approved, there was a few per mission divided in sets. Dunno about now though...

Unless you meant one class upgrade per mission, and the player had to choose between which class to boost.

Y'know, let's address that. Hey, AB, what would the effect of dual-classing to demon be? I would have assumed that it's just stats bonuses, but how would that benefit, say, Menarker's breeder?

Quote:

By Geminex:
Oh, and Dark Abyss still seems a little strong. It's still stronger than spore, anyway. Hell, even if you removed the whole "Nightmare" effect altogether, it'd be at spore strength, which is pretty good.

Maybe give it original strength (100% sleep, inflicts nightmare without fail), but Enmakki needs a turn to recharge after using it?

By Dracorion:
Done. We're doing this with Dark Abyss. Approve it, AB.

Or if a pokemon using that item use a fighting move on one with dark/ghost, it can ignore the ghost typing... If the pokemon being attacked only has one type, the damage is treated as one catagory better. Not effective becomes neutral, Neutral is super effective, and super effective is quad effective.

An item that enables the user to use one extra move every 2 or 3 turns so long as that move does not inflict damage or target the foe.

A "item upgrade pin" that can be attached and removed and attached again to a Choice Band/Scarf/Specs as the trainer chooses. Either way, it provides the boost of the chosen item whenever the first move used is used, but still allow the choice of other moves although with no pump up. (So if Swampert wears a Pinned Choice Band, and uses Earthquake as his first move, that use and all future use of it while it is wearing the item is boosted by 50%, but all other moves are uneffected, but he can choose to use a different move as opposed to be locked into one move.

Still thinking of some ideas for items and moves for the future...

Anyhow, Drac, can we get an actual list of girls you actually refer to as YOUR bitches so we don't ACCIDENTLY step on any toes? Mind you, your character's safety might depend on not being excessively greedy (although I won't hold any grudges if you have the most but not trying to take every damn good one).

Your railroad track...
You mean the setting? Of your sidequest?
The one that I practically came up with? Allright then. I'll make sure to adhere to my own suggestions.

Nah, I think Heidi's cool. Impact might chat her up later, see what she's all about. And I forgot Jeanette would join, never mind my previous speculation.

A tragic backstory does not the main character make. I mean sure, you can motivate him to an incredible degree and put give him such an emotionally laden history, it'd bring tears to the eyes of a hardened war veteran! Be my guest. It'll take a bit of effort, but it's possible.
But how will it make him the main character? His backstory will be plot-central in exactly one mission, his sidequest. After that? It's a detail. One that nicely justifies his actions, and that can be used to make the character interesting. Assume Pierce gets a crisis of conscience about his actions now, compared to his actions in the past, sometime during mission 6. That'll influence only Pierce. The other characters won't necessarily pay more attention to him because of it. AB's posts won't focus more on his agony than, say, on Impact's (the horrible, horrible feeling of fighting alongside pokemon) or Charlotte's (the horrible, horrible feeling of not having taken a human life all day).
Y'ken? Make Pierce as human and relatable as you like. It won't make him more important.

touch my bitches and die, motherfucker.

I'm sorry? Bitches? Who the hell promised you two?

Menarker · 05-17-2010, 07:50 PM

Yeah, agree about Heidi. She seems a neat character as well that Renny would have chat up if she was around.

Is Mika in the party as well? I thought she joined PATCA.

And Renny is going to chat up Impact and tell him about the awesome super armor he's going to get. :3

I could see Pierce being a bit more involved in the main working of the plot, but then again, I expect that of everyone (including Renny eventually).

Also, I had nothing to do with the "bitches" aside from insisting that Drac doesn't try to get so many of them and leave us only with the ones he don't want (and Lola since she's claimed).

I mean, I can see him getting Shizuka and Chizuru, and those two are already super high class ladies. And maybe i could see him getting 2 or 3 others, but I would be vexed if he got any more! As for myself, I got Lola claimed, and somewhat intend on attempting to earn the trust/affection of Whitney, Rachel and perhaps Mika's and Fujiko (If AB is truthful about her having a thing for Shota boys) Maybe also that flying eevee trainer (Renny got two flying pokemons so she might like that). Impact can get Rayleen, Harriette, Evangaleen, maybe Kirie among several other Slayer girls options.

Anyhow, you get my meaning. Pierce already got two of the "highest quality girls" claimed in the RP, and I could see him getting a few more girls. But I certainly don't want him to go overboard. I expect Impact and Renny to get a few choice ones too... and Matthias too perhaps (he got dibs on Tsubasa).
