Read first post more carefully. :3

Although technically, Renny never had his hands on them.

[Dracorion]

Ah. Well in my defense it was forever and a downtime ago.

Thanks for reminding me of that picture, though.

[Menarker]

My pleasure. It's my favorite out of the lot (and there was quite a few faves to choose from).

[Dracorion]

So, what do y'all think of Nagarai so far?

Should I tone down the sexual harrassment a bit?

[Menarker]

So you're the designated combination of Brock and James of PATCA?

Brock: Repeatably had a human or pokemon inflict bodily harm or nag him if he pays attention to any other women or starts attempting to be a womanizer. Never ends up with a girl except for the one time which ends up being a trauma for him.

James: Repeatably have a pokemon that harms him during their moment of affection, like Victrelbell or Cancea.

There is precendant, so I guess we're cool. ^^

Have fun being the designated butt-monkey of the group. :3

Seriously though, we're all mature enough to handle the stuff that you come up with thus far.

Leaving for work now. See you all later.

[Dracorion]

Pierce will never be the butt monkey, because Aria would never hurt him. Well, she might hurt him like she did now: a little bit so she could "fix his boo-boo".

But she'll usually try to hurt whatever woman is getting Pierce's attention instead of her.

Magnegross...

What the hell is this crap? Seriously, what the hell is this crap? I mean honsetly, what the hell is this crap?

The only way I would be even halfway willing to accept that is if their combined speed was quartered, they'd be a steel/steel/electric/psychic type and they had no way to avoid ground moves. Because 8x ground damage, fuck yeah. In fact, I don't care how many more steel pokemon you add to the mix, as long as your speed keeps dropping and you keep adding more steel to your types. Ground attacks would deal 2048x damage to your huge Patca-zord. 2048. Go for it.


Though the dual-wield sounds pretty sweet.

[Dracorion]

Seriously, quarter speed? Both Magnezone and Metagross can fly! Well, hover, but it still counts.

I'm sort of okay with their speed being halved, not quartered.

And seriously, there's no reason why Magnegross wouldn't have Magnet Rise. It'd only be for three turns and it'd be on our side, what's the problem?

I realize you might have an inferiority complex because trainers seem to be getting all the cool stuff and you don't get to be all that cool.

But I feel obligated to remind you that you get half-demon stats, then obscene full-demon stats and mind control. And Ruin weapon and armor, while none of the rest of us can (well, we could probably get Ruin pokemonon our teams, but the only one that would want one is Charlotte).

And now dual-wield. If that's what I think it means, you'd get to dual-wield Dragon Slaves, making you our best attacker for Ruin pokemon. Seriously, effectively 8x damage. You could maybe even coax AB into making it 16x, if he's drunk and you sell it really really really really well (it'd be easier if you had Impact's mind control in real life and it worked over the internet).

If you want AB to accept your ideas more, don't give up on 'em so easily and make sure to present them well.

Seriously, we're probably going to have to help Dante get some better upgrades.

[Geminex]

It'd be something I couldn't kill with ease. That's the problem.

"No reason"? Well, for one, magnegross is extremely, extremely, heavy. Additionally, I'd assume that its magnets are busy holding the two together.

But ok, fair enough. I hadn't considered that it'd only be 3 rounds. It's fine. I guess.
As long as impact gets his dual-wield later.

Edit: Ok, ok, I submit under your onslaught. I shall object no more to Magnagross. Though every time it gets used Impact will mutter something about how silly this is.

It's not so much inferiority as it is... well, I guess, general balancing. Not just for gameplay reasons, but for the sake of the story as well. It is very easy for us to acquire new superpowers, but I'm afraid that if we get too many we'll go all dragonball-. Sure, let's get more powerful, but going too far along the anime curve won't do the RP much good. We can't have everything be awesome, otherwise it'll get, well, boring. And rather ridiculous. This is also one of the reasons I protest against too many legendaries.

And besides, Slayers aren't too underpowered. The accessories are a pretty big help, and, while I can't match trainer's performance in a double battle, if I get to dual-wield, that'll certainly change, since I'd get just as many attacks as them, and if I use an adrenaline boost, I'd have base stats of 150 across the board. I'd still have plenty of weaknesses (insta-kill, status, stats), but that'd be balanced, most certainly. And as I hope to show in PvP, a well-prepared Slayer (even without dual-wield) can beat, or at least come close to beating, a trainer. As long as the trainer only deploys one pokemon. And agrees not to use items.
ANYWAY.

As for this...

If you want AB to accept your ideas more, don't give up on 'em so easily and make sure to present them well.

...
Dude. Do me a favor. Consider the current state of the RP. Consider the amount of things in this RP that I proposed or came up with. Then re-evaluate your comment about presenting your ideas well.

And we need some sort of contingency plan, how to continue the RP, should the forum go down again for some inconceivable reason.

[Dracorion]

Right, sorry.

But really, I suspect that AB's got some really epic shit planned for us. Like we'll need crap like dual-wielding and legendaries (maybe not Magnegross, but that's more like icing on the cake), to survive.

Of course, I could be wrong and I probably am.
