Default Pokemon Umbral Discussion 24: I Can Has Pokemon?

Sorry about quoting Lolcats or whatever.



It's images like these that make me think Lola and Whitney should be such intimate friends, not Whitney and Harliette. Eh effin' well.

Now on to the barrage of questions that I find kind of silly and unnecessary:

First off, of course an enemy trainer is gonna have six Pokemon. Hell, you're lucky I'm leaving it at six. I'd be pretty interested in making them carry more, but there's only so many Pokemon in the world. Even by creating new ones, I'm still giving you fights against the same motherfuckin' Pokemon, which is why I'm eager to start pitting you against humans and mecha and other good shit.

Here how it works for the setup of NPCs: if you get two slots for Pokemon or something, they do as well. That's 2 Pokemon, 1 and themself, whatever combination. The exception is the Sniper, who only has one slot.

Yes, Trainers can still attack as a free action.

Excess Rage at the end of a battle is wasted. Just like you warm up to 50 Rage from getting amped for combat, you bleed out your adrenaline at the end of combat and go down to 50 Rage.

Renny can have Valiant Rush as he finally put it. But from me personally, I really don't find it viable. Remember Ash's stupid ass? When Pikachu got blinded in...like, what, episode 3? Ash rushed in himself to attack. Didn't accomplish shit.

Well, at episode 3, Ash was a total noob and weakling (and continued being one for a LONG time). Plus, I made the technique assuming that Renny would have gotten Pokebrid, Slayer or Half Demon by then, any of those which would make him physically capable of fighting.

EDIT: And the pic is adorable. ^^

EDIT: Geminex, I guess that means Rachel can join Empoleon in attacking the foes? Or did I read AB's answer wrong in some way?

In hindsight, I'm going to enjoy seeing Renny try to attack motherfuckers himself. I expect comically fast windfill punches.

Might as well make a new post while you're at it, so AB can do his next post.

BTW, any thoughts about how Impact has or will train Renny (during that post you would edit presumably)? It's not like he's going to have Renny dodged live firearms... would he?

I'm thinking hand-to-hand combat, initially. If they were to train in that intensively, for a week or two, that'd be a start. Maybe they'd use a few lighter weapons, later.

Edit: And y'know what, I'm not even going to edit that post, Impact'll just reevaluate the orders he gave, and reissue some stuff.

Edit2:
And AB, what do fire and poison moves do vs. enemy foot soldiers? Double damage, or just morale damage?

Double damage, double chance of burn and/or poison.

Sometime this weekend, I'll be adding other documents to the database which offer terminology, character bios, thorough enemy data, that kind of nonsense.

Ha! Fuck yeah!
In your face, everybody who thought a strategy consisting entirely of setting our enemies on fire wasn't a good idea. Where's your rain dance now, bitches?

Damnit AB, what's wrong with you?

You're making Geminex right! Do you really think it's a good idea to bolster the megalomaniac's ego?

Default The best part is, you don't know if that last bit is serious.

This coming from the guy who thinks it's a great idea to antagonise the megalomaniac as well.
Psst. I'm pretty much a three-dimensional cartoon villain. Anger=Motivation.

And Menarker:

Luckily for him, I decided to keep very much to his original tactic, with Sunny Day and all.
Lucky for me indeed. I'd hate to have an inefficient strategy that involves attacking the defensively most powerful enemy first, instead of focusing fire on the 4 enemies who have the ability to incapacitate one of us for three turns with just 50 RPs.
Oh, oh, I get it! You meant "luckily for him" in the sense of "he is fortunate that I let him have his fun, instead of replacing his strategy with my obviously superior plan".
Hahahaha, yeah. :3

...
Ok, I'm done gloating now. I've got it out of my system. No hard feelings, eh? Remember what happened, and so will I. Let's both learn from it. I'll remember to post plans in the discussion thread, so we can talk about them, before I post them IC. You, on the other hand...
*glasses flash*
The whole contradicting me thing? Don't... do it again.
