[@LuckyBlackCat] I’m glad to hear that. Worst case scenario, Rory just takes a more hands-on approach (essentially he becomes the Tracy of the team). I was planning for him to be involved already, but he’ll just be more so if Birch doesn’t come back.

Also, one other design thing. Could you make the scales that aren’t armored look patchwork-ish? Like, the armor scales appear in “spots” along the arms,legs, head, etc. like bruises/war wounds. This would be locations where the Pokémon was struck the most.
