Well, if Ash can accidently capture a rice donut into a pokeball, which is neither a pokemon nor alive, (During the Episode he caught Mankey) then I'm sure that there can be technology to store heavier and more complex items into devices similar to Pokeballs. So it is at least plausible (even if it was more or less a joke in the anime)

And I second the request for updates for details on upgraded classes like Pokemon Breeder, Ragnarok, Ascended Pokebrids and what not. It doesn't have to be finalized (as we'll probably have ideas of what the class might/should have or what not) but it would be nice to see an prototype stage of what what is planned for upgrades before we go too far down a path, only to find out that we didn't get the character concept we were hoping for.

And I got no problem with AB saying that the group gets no rage from using Prosperous Gifts with reviving targets (as opposed to removing Vengeful Spirit or vetoing my technique) if it is going to be a huge problem. Alternatively, Vengeful Spirit could be altered to trigger at the time of the target being knocked out instead of upon reviving? It probably sounds weird, but at least it's not something that can be abused with Prosperous Gift. Plus, for a trainer, it makes sense since they might be more motivated to action when one of their pokemons are knocked out.

Also, if Matthias is having problem choosing an enforcer, we could easily decide that Muon opted to be his enforcer. She did join the group after we found her after all. :3

I think Aria might "accidentally" miss with a Thunder attack and hit someone else...

Yes. Let us end Renny.

But threats aside, there's still some uncertainties in regards to my plan. Stuff I wanted your input on was:

Harliette: Desperado or Aqua Shot? Illumise to use helping hand or Harliette to use a full restore on self?
Matt: What enforcer? Preferrably not muon.
Pierce: Well, what to do? What pokemon do you have? Tyranitar, Metagross and Skarmory, right? I'm thinking Metagross and Tyranitar. Or, yeah, we revive Blaziken.
Rachel: Rage Rocket or Full Restore or Max Revive or Thunder? Help me out here, people!
Moon: Barrier amp or Power amp? Barrier'd be a bit better, I think.

I want answers, people!

Dracorion · 06-25-2010, 07:32 AM

Harliette: Go with Desperado. We gotta burn up her Rage.
Matt: Go with Hector. His Co-Op Tech, Shadow Falls, might affect Wildfire's ranged attacks as well.

Hector's Co-Op Technique for your convenience:

Quote:

- Pokemon Co-Op: The Shadow Falls ~ 80/100 RP, All Enemies, Special, 3 Turns. Creates an obscuring and inescapable darkness. Enemy Pokemon cannot be switched out. Enemy Snipers cannot shoot. Enemy ranged attacks miss 50% of the time. Lasts for three turns.

Pierce: I'd suggest reviving Blaziken and Kingdra.
Rachel: Full Restore on Impact to give him Plasmaburn immunity.
Moon: Barrier Amplifier.

Yah, I've seen that. It would've been my recommendation also, but I thought Matt might've already picked one and just neglected to tell us.

I like the thought of using Rachel to bestow Plasmaburn immunity... yeah.

Desperado, I would've thought so as well. Though when to best use that? To begin with (when the infantry is avaliable), or near the end (where we'll hit just the tanks)?
I'd probably use it late.

What d'you mean by this? That he should revive them? That they should be revived, and he should use them? Cause neither are really feasible. We don't have that many max revives to go around, unless Renny wants to use some prosperous gifts.

Dracorion · 06-25-2010, 07:55 AM

Menarker already said he wanted to use Prosperous Gifts.

If we don't want to revive them, though, I'd probably go with Tyranitar and Aria. Though Tyranitar's going to need some de-oiling if we're going to keep him out.

He suggested it, but... I think, if anything, Renny should recieve healing, not dispense it. Let him sit in the rear, let him recover. It might be useful, but not necessarily...

What movesets do Metagross and Skarmory have?

Oh, AB, I just realized something. Do NPC Slayers get accessories?

DanteFalcon · 06-25-2010, 08:07 AM

Apologies on my dissappearance. Can't promise I'll show up more often though my weekend will be a bit less hectic. Online classes + Assistant Stage Management gig = very very tired Dante. Just pulled an all nighter for a homework deal. Combat won't see many posts for me simply because they aren't needed. I'll try and keep up on it though just so I can make sure Impact isn't making me do something stupid

Going with Aster for my Enforcer. Presuming he wasn't already picked and I just forgot.

Also Gem your plan for me is flawed. I still have a full turn of Paradigm Shift.

Here's Pierce's moveset. I swear, I'll get around to editing this into his bio eventually!

As for Matt's Enforcer, hmm... One alternative is to switch Aster in permanently and use his Signature Sequence. I forget the name, the one that gives him invincibility.

Geminex · 06-25-2010, 08:18 AM

Riiight...

I don't think Matt needs to switch with Aster. Damage-wise, Matt's more effective, and it's not like he needs healing.

I think we can spare one max Revive for Pierce. Maybe go Blaziken and Metagross? That could all work out.

Dracorion · 06-25-2010, 08:22 AM

Yeah, let's go with Blaziken and Metagross.

And what should we do with Aster, then?
