Pokemon Umbral Theatre 28: Prepare For Trouble... - Page 7

Well, in the games, where it is one of the most useless moves possible, it's sole purpose was to teleport back to the last place that could act like a pokemon center, including the player's home.

I'd hardly think transporting back and forth between destinations which Renny is familiar with in a manner similar to the Fly HM to be an issue. :3

Heck, I already acknowledged that it has limitations. Hence why Renny had to ride Togekiss to Millenium House after his surgery, since he had never been there before.

I'm also not really using anything major like telekinesis (except for RP flavor like doing the dishes) or mind reading (except maybe for his own pokemons later on)

It does when it's an easily accessible move that let's people break into otherwise-impregnable secret bases.

Menarker · 07-05-2011, 06:04 PM

Well, you allowed that for your sidequest so he could rejoin the group, and RP wise, that was because there were others who saw the interior when it was open, so they could verbally guide him to how he should teleport inside without porting into a wall when he had to teleport blindly for about a few meters? (Something that isn't too hard to visualize anyhow.)

It's not something I plan to abuse. If anything, I would be suprised if the other psychic pokebrids didn't use their abilities in a similar manner. Teleporting home from work instead of walking or flying. And I'm not asking to be able to teleport a group of people like in the anime as well. Basically, just the user himself and around 50ish lbs of objects including pokeballs, clothings and things he can carry with relative ease. To bring a friend or for large trips, things like cars are still a better option.

Dracorion · 07-05-2011, 06:36 PM

Well, I didn't bring up the issue to stop you specifically from using it. Just, in general.

And the problem with Teleport is that there's no concievable in-game reason Renny or anyone else shouldn't do those things you just listed, and much more.

Menarker · 07-05-2011, 06:52 PM

I'd imagine that companies wanting that sort of enhanced security will be employing evoliths capable of using Mean Look or something like that. Evoliths are fairly new, so it's entirely possible that someone can devise that sort of device as a way of beefing up their security as opposed to having pokemons or pokebrids employees surrounding the walls using said moves. That can be one viable way to disable teleportation that also fits in an RP sense.

We can leave it up to AB how to deal with such moves. But I don't think Renny teleporting home is in any way an issue.

EDIT: Anyhow, I'm curious to how Matthias is going to act/respond. Especially since his latest spying attempt got him some interesting data on Gaea. (Also, Dante has being pretty quiet as of late, although he's online from time to time.)

Dracorion · 07-05-2011, 09:18 PM

You know, it's like Pierce didn't just say to go help Irene, and Renny is both supposedly a nice enough guy to do it and owns a flying pokemon (not to mention can teleport with impunity).

But then, the fact that Renny is actually secretly a giant dick isn't a secret at all, is it?

And yes, what Pierce meant is that everyone with a flying pokemon should put them to use.

Menarker · 07-05-2011, 09:21 PM

Renny wasn't around Irene at the time to know this. He and his pokemons were out guarding the place and getting fresh air.

Plus, Pierce/Jeanette/Liz was supposed to be in an ambulance at the time when he said he was going to help (thus, not with the rest of the group)

That's why I asked AB about where was everyone supposed to be in this post, with AB saying they'll all find out the details later if they weren't with Irene.

Edited post a little though so Renny at least asks Lola what happened in the meeting.

Dracorion · 07-05-2011, 09:30 PM

What the- how is that an argument? Not only was Pierce being loaded into the ambulance just before everyone started loitering about, there's also the implication that he could've woken up shortly after being loaded on the ambulance and not long after that talked on the radio.

Say, around the end of your post.

And I don't think AB account for my last post when he responded to you.

Menarker · 07-05-2011, 09:37 PM

Look, not everyone has to be in the same place at the same time. Impact sure isn't as he was patroling. Some of the others were fixing the rig or clearing the obstructions. And Renny was helping guard the place before the post saying that Sheventon was injured, presumably attacked by Sexy, so it's not like I was trying to avoid it.

Also note. In your own recent post, Pierce WOKE UP and found out he was in an ambulance with an IV drip connected to him and THEN found out after about the attack.

Your sequences of events seemed very mixed up.

But I'll edit the post so Renny hears Pierce's message on the scouter... Umbreon is going to be pissed at Pierce for being yet ANOTHER interference. :3

Dracorion · 07-05-2011, 09:42 PM

Yeah, yeah.

I'm just saying, Pierce is saying his thing and that is presumably happening at the same time as your post.

And since AB isn't going to give you a chance to do as Pierce says or not when he posts, next, I figured you might want to respond to that now.

And where in my sequence of events does it even mention when Pierce found out?
