Isn't that what collab posts are for? I guess I really haven't thought much about it.

My only real problem with the way things are being run right now is all of these fights. I mean, I get that this is based off the game, and the game had a lot of beating the shit out of random Pokemon who had nothing to do with anything to get stronger, but for me it's really hard to get invested in combat when it's a throwaway fight against something with no character and who is pretty much guaranteed to never appear again. I'd rather just go on to where ever the characters are supposed to be and get some roleplaying done, you know?

You know, I never actually thought about that. Most of the fights seem to be based off absolutes rather than 'beating you up because i need cash for food'.

Presumably this is as... well, most of the Pokemon we fight are 'feral', their minds broken (to an extent) with regards to hostility against outsiders. At least that's what I recall a while ago whilst discussing the RP with Lugia. We do however have some characters that reoccur, i.e. Team Zan and their occasional genius.

In the end, this RP is based off a game where EXP is needed to progress without getting killed. Personality is usually side-tracked 'cause I assume we're just too lazy to do anything with the monsters, and see them more as fodder if anything.

Now, with regards to getting to places... I have raised the issue in the past. Thing is, we actually don't have that many fights; we don't expect the fights to take weeks at a time, to the point where this RP won't end for another year or so. They're supposed to be interruptions at least, but our posting schedule's been elongated. It takes a week just to do an action now, which is something I talked about in my earlier post and how I preferred to post more than once.
