Pretty sure you mean Hypno's Hypnosis. It's part of his name and pendulum wielding shtick. But yeah, pokemon setting is abundant with potential for lots of scary/disturbing things!

Nope, I mean Hypno's Lullaby. It's a disturbing song about him luring away children and them never returning, I think. Lyrics are in the description for my hearin' impaired brothers and sisters. Now you shall never look at Hypno the same again. It's also kind of the reason I created the Fiend evolution Mesmereyes.

Edit (July 10th 2014): Editting the sidequests a bit because two legendary Pokemon have been slightly changed. Cerbrapht is now thusly named Cerbellows and is a legendary Fire/Ghost type while Garmrokkr is now named Garmrghest and remains the same Ice/Dark type that it was before. These changes were brought about because I thought the names were sorta dumb and because I wanted Cerbellows and Garmrghest to have advantages and disadvantages on each other to balance 'em out. In fact, their statistics will be mirror images of each other.

You know AH, you can just make another post edit of just editing it now. The forum has been updated so that if you're making another post and you were the most recent poster, it'll just updated it into your previous post while also letting people know you've made an additional edit. (Unless the size of the post would be too big. In that case, it'll make another post)

Best of luck getting those posts done.

Yeah, I have the rest of tonight and some time tomorrow and Sunday off so I should be able to make some re-donk-cu-lous progress.

By the way, Aldurin and I have conspired to create two new wacky characters. Thou hast been warned.

Menarker · 07-13-2014, 06:56 PM

I'm curious about said characters. When exactly will they come into the scene? This mission? Next one? Optional Quest? Sequel?

Also, a poke for you to get your act together and work on the posts. ^^;

Astral Harmony · 07-13-2014, 09:20 PM

Don't worry about the new characters for now. There will be plenty of time to hate me for making them when they get formally introduced.

Donovan's post will be up tomorrow. Geminex wants to work with me this coming morning on his when he can afford to set his exams aside.

Seriously, what is it with all you people and your exams? You guys spend more time in school than Harry Potter, and he didn't even need no damn school.

Aldurin · 07-14-2014, 08:00 AM

I forsook proper education a year and a half ago, so anything taking me away from my PokeBallZ character is either my D&D campaign, trying to learn2indiegame or playing space waifu simulator as Commander Shepard.

Mass Effect is so good, why did I miss it before?

Astral Harmony · 07-14-2014, 08:11 AM

The post is done, I'm just trying to word it...uhh, less infantile-y? I mean, it's hard to introduce a alchemized zombie bear and make it look menacing when you've got a team of four, one that's a demon, one's that a professional sniper with years of experience, one's that a shadow monster and then I guess Donovan's a shark-man?

Oh well, I just wanna reword it a bit and figure out the battlefield strategy. Try not to burn this place down. You won't be able to easily escape from these enemies.

And Mass Effect is really good... but the fun combat is screwed over by spending way too much time talking to folks on the Citadel and driving that dumbass Mako on those dumbass planets.

When it comes to real epic games with massive worlds, I think Bethesda does it best. Fallout 3 & Skyrim, yo.

Aldurin · 07-14-2014, 08:32 AM

I see Donovan as the ripoff of stupid overpowered characters from shows I've somehow never watched . . . like DBZ. One day he'll be up in the echelons of Dante and Leon Kennedy. One day.

Currently going through Mass Effect 2, though I'll replay both for proper sidequest carry over if I ever decide to go through 3. Mass Effect 2's biggest improvement over the first is having actual combat instead of a lolpistols button (the last sequence of the first game was pretty much "point the pistol and watch everything die" during the 80% of the time the pistol boost was active). I'm pretty much convinced that if a third person shooter isn't entirely focused on combat, the pistols will be broken as shit. Refer to Deus Ex: HR pistol with full upgrades and stealth-headshotting multiple people across a large room using blindfire from cover with a silenced pistol in Alpha Protocol.

Looking at Twiloch, it appears that he only has two offensive moves, so I updated him a bit to be more useful in that area...

Twiloch (Dark Ruin General / Destroyer)
- Callsign: Shademire
- Stats: Atk 35 / SpAtk 35 / Spd 60
- Atks...
1. Shade Scythe ~ 10 RP, 15 Spec/Dark, 50% Flinch
2. Ebony Guard ~ 10 RP, A, Ground & Weather Imm
3. Darkest Damsel ~ 20 RP, Rad1/2E, 20 Spec/Dark, 40% Bleed
4. Shadowy Grasp ~ 20 RP, Spd = 1, Eva = 0%
5. Shadow Fusion ~ 20 RP, AllStat +2
6. Oily Tentacles ~ 40 RP, Rad1/2E, 20 Spec/Dark, 50% Eject Tx2
7. Dark Ripple ~ 60 RP, 50% Lockdown for E-Party per unit.
8. Shadow Shift ~ 60 RP, AllStat +5, 100% Hit & Evade
9. Stained Reaver ~ 80 RP, 100 Phys/Shadow, Acc = 50% for adjoining units for Tx3
10. Shadowborne Brother ~ 80 RP, AP Halved Tx3

Also changed the names of the moves a bit so that it wasn't always just "shadow, shadow, shadow". Go ahead, Ald-kun. Give 'im a test drive.

Oh, and post should be finished before I go to work in a couple hours.
