[OOC] Pokemon: Prime

[Balthazar007]

I know you said Anu leveled up, but it's not listed under my Trainer Tab.
Also, quick questions: If I ever did use Rage (which Anu learned last level) or other removes like Power-Up Punch would those have any effect in this RP? Likewise, how would multi-hit attacks function?

@Metamore

We can do this...

From now on (i.e. what's done is done) moves that are purely designed to lower or raise a stat will gain a 50% boost on their roll (on top of STAB boosts and weaknesses), BUT if they are successful, they won't raise or lower anyone's Power level the turn they are used. Instead, they are tacked on to the next roll's result, but only if the next roll's result is favorable.

They only effect the next roll. They cannot be combined. So using two stat moves in a row is pointless.

Does that all make sense?

Edit: sorry, didn't mean to send the message yet

Ah okay.
So like in that last fight, it would have been: Anusobeket gets a -50% modifier, thus effectively canceling her STAB for the next turn?
Sounds good to me boss!
Does this also mean that moves that Raise a Stat and Deal Damage like Power-Up Punch would deal damage and just add the effects on the next turn only then? Or would it be like healing moves and be cut 50/50?

What about Multi-Hit attacks?

@Metamore

No, it's a little more complicated. The opposing Pokemon was the one using a status move. It won the roll by 16. By these new rules, it may have won the roll by even more. BUT it would not have done anything to your Totodile THAT turn. Instead, next turn, the result would be skewed in in the wild pokemon's favor (granted the pokemon won that second roll as well).

Does that make sense?

@Balthazar007

Okay, well now you've lost me. You say that the effects won't take hold until the next turn, but then you also say the roll would've been even more in the Larvesta's favor..? So it effects its roll on the same turn, but effects my roll on the next turn?

[Balthazar007]

@Metamore

More no than yes. Let me try explaining this another way.

Say Larvesta used String Shot and rolled a higher number due to having an added 50% boost. That String Shot will not effect anyone's Power Level that turn, but that number is tracked over to the next turn.

Now, on the next turn, the String Shot's effectiveness is added to Larvesta's move IF Larvesta beats you in that second roll too. There is no 50% boost to anyone's roll in the second round, only added damage IF Larvesta's roll is even 1 Point higher than yours. Now, IF you were to beat Larvesta on the second roll, all that added damage goes to waste.

Does that make any more sense?

@Metamore

[Balthazar007]

@Metamore

For moves that do both, I'd say yes to your question. Half of the damage could be done on the turn, while the other half is transferred to the next turn IF next turn's move is successful.

Multi-Hit attacks are just going to be treated like normal attacks.

[Metamore]

Lmao, apparently the RNG Deities see fit to humble me even further.

I STILL HAVE FAITH IN YOU RNG DEITIES
I STILL BELIEVE!

@Balthazar007
That Phanpy's rolls was still ridiculously higher than mine, but just so you know: it shouldn't have gotten STAB for Defense Curl. Phanpy actually never learns any Ground Type moves for some reason.

[Cerces22]

I should have something up later today, took my little pocket monster to Chuck E. Cheese lol

[Metamore]

@Cerces22
Aw that's so cute! Hope you two had a good time~ :D

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

I been chasing her through the tubes for last half hour, I am six one without putting on heels, ugh my knees haven't hurt this much since college

[Metamore]

Lmao, do I even wanna know what you did in college then?

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

Lmao, it was to good a joke to pass up lmao

@Metamore

It didn't get STAB. It got a 50% boost for using a stat move, like we discussed. 50% of 17 is 8 (rounded in your favor). 17+8=25. So actually, the phanpy should have rolled a die 25 instead of a die 24 like I accidentally did. But I'm not going to adjust for that.

As long as you don't loose the next roll, it doesn't matter though.

But, I'm too tired to do more rolls and stuff at the moment. I'll have to finish this in the morning. I'm starting a company IRL, and there was a lot of work involved with that today.

[Metamore]

@Balthazar007

OOOOOOH, okay. So when you said this:

From now on ... moves that are purely designed to lower or raise a stat will gain a 50% boost on their roll ...

@Balthazar007

For some reason I thought you just meant that the effects of all Stat raising moves would be +50% not that rolling for Stat Moves is boosted. That makes sense. Lmao, I think I finally get it... hopefully!

_{*they wished, not she wished in regards to your last post}

[Metamore]

Sorry this took me so long to write! My baby cousin is now living with us, and I'm on Baby Duty today.

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

Thank you for that laugh, I really could see Rin doing that as well lol

[Metamore]

Thank you for enjoying it! :D I mean I just thought . . . is Pokémon really complete without someone fawning over Nurse Joy _{and Officer Jenny, just you wait!} Lmao, I don't think it is, so I just had to take the opportunity! Plus what's better a better achille's heel that being an easily flustered femaric fan of Pokémon's very own "infinituplets"?

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

True we will have to see what happens in the future with Liz being who she is, right now she's to focused to really be to attracted to anyone, and she's not completely trusting, I think atm she only trusts her mom and Rin
