Pokemon Umbral Discussion 29: I Dare Nintendo To Make This a Game

[Bard The 5th LW]

Think of the power! We could attack Wild Fire and have it attack enemies in the same turn!

[DanteFalcon]

Its more long term usefulness I'm concerned about.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Ab has mande mention to Copters and Tanks. Those will probably count as machines. And there are still other members of the Gabriel Force that we may fight.

[Geminex]

Anyway, someone suggested that we implement a cooldown of sorts where Pokebrids can't use moves for a couple of turns after three turns. And AB decided to do that. So here we are.

I think it was Menarker who came up with it, by the way.

...
Seriously? And what on earth possessed anyone to agree with that? It really doesn't seem justified. Or in any way intelligent. AT ALL.
AB, I'd propose that we renounce that very silly rule and never speak of it again. It does nothing for balancing. Like, nothing. IT IS VERY SILLY.

And I dunno. How many mechanical/hackable enemies are we going to have to fight? The technique would certainly help this battle, but I'm really not sure how useful it'll be in the long term.

In complete agreement.

You were there. Why the hell didn't you bring this up before?

It... might be of some limited use in Pierce's sidequest. You'll know when.

As for usefulness, come on. It's not like we spam Synchronization Techniques every turn. If Matt doesn't have an enemy to hack, he can just use any of his other two techs.

[DanteFalcon]

The point is made

We'll go with your suggestion for Porygon Z's technique AB.

[Menarker]

I don't know why I'm getting the blame for that either, since I frankly don't remember that particular suggestion and for Psych Up, I proposed a variety of suggestions.

[Geminex]

I seriously don't remember having been there. Perhaps I missed it. Perhaps my subconciousness suppressed it because it wanted to help me retain my last vestige of faith in humanity.

And I don't know what you proposed. Doesn't really matter. I'm still not quite happy with the way psych-up is now, but it's ok. Certainly, crippling pokebrids wouldn't help.

And what were you thinking of making the technique do, exactly? Because you need to be careful to make it strong enough to match Rachel's.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I seriously don't remember when that decision was made either. It looks dumb to me.
