Pokemon Umbral Theatre 12: On a Very Special Episode of Pokemon Umbral... - Page 11

Actually, Weather Ball does change into a Rock type during Sandstorm and get increased power. However, it IS true that Castform doesn't get a Rock form and thus doesn't get STAB like it would during Sunny Day, Rain Dance or Hail. Which is honestly unfair.

I personally wouldn't mind if we house-ruled in a rock form for Castform, since his stats don't change in any of his forms... well, not directly. He would get a bonus to Special Defense as a result of rock types getting the benefit of sandstorm. However, Sandstorm does lack some of the benefits such as Sunny Day boost or Rain Dance boost that his Castform form would have gotten from his attack being fire or water type. So it's basically trading off an offensive boost that his fire or water form would have for a defensive boost that a Rock type form could offer.

And why stop at just a Rock type Castform? I think Castform could and should get even more forum-brewed type buffs. Definitely Poison. As long as there exists a weather type that Castform cannot take advantage of, we should at least have a small debate about whether Matthias actually can, here in Pokemon Umbral.

Menarker · 10-17-2010, 10:10 PM

Well, Matthias does have the least fleshed out character sheet of us all, so there is some room for something like that perhaps.

That of course, is assuming you weren't being sarcastic and joking around with us, right? ^^;

Dracorion · 10-17-2010, 10:11 PM

Well, I guess it depends on how many weather effects you want to invent and how available they're going to be.

Menarker · 10-17-2010, 10:12 PM

And of course, if Matthias is able to summon these at will or if he's just able to adjust to them as we encounter them.

Astral Harmony · 10-17-2010, 10:16 PM

Of course I wasn't joking. We can have a lot of cool shit for Matthias and all we need is a little imagination.

Any replacement GM wouldn't need to know about Renny's new Pokebrid form. All a replacement GM would need to continue the story is stuff like...okay, after this battle, this group goes here and fights this. Here's the tactical data and the formations for these encounters. Here are the bosses. Here's the major plot twist. Here's the order in which it comes.

Dracorion would be the best replacement GM because he can look at what you guys are fighting and work it around so that you all join up at the same time. Thus he can decide stuff like "okay, maybe a couple of reinforcements over here" while leaving it up to Menarker to decide when Renny joins and how exactly he makes it inside, coming up with his own little misadventure in that regard.

Gnehehehehehe!

Your reign of terror is over, but mine's only just begun!

Fanservice quotient is multiplied by ten! All the girls (Charlotte optional) must now wear skimpy uniforms! All the guys except Pierce get shot in the head.

And Impact is senteced to be Nurse Joy's assistant for the rest of life.

Oh? I thought you were going to take care of that stuff. ^^; You had some particular details in mind after all.

DON'T LEAVE US, AB!

How bad could "Dracorion is the GM for a little while" possibly get?

Menarker · 10-17-2010, 10:54 PM

Well, at least Roy doesn't try to kill off his subordinates so he could have all the fanservice for himself!

>_>
