[OOC] Pokemon: Prime

[Metamore]

Lol, that Bonsly literally just learned it's first move, a rock type might be nice to counteract Gerseti's bug type weakness. I'll be back on tomorrow for the fight! :)

[Cerces22]

Meta is right, it's time to check out a landmark lol

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

And it was in that moment, Rin knew, he fucked up agaha

[Metamore]

@Cerces22
*they
Lol, well not everyone can be a star student like Liz! It's hard memorizing all 802 pokemon.

[Metamore]

@Balthazar007
Uh... 1) Why did the Bonsly get a +100% modifier? 2) Why has Fake Tears become aN automatic 2-Hit K.O.?

WHY ARE THESE LOWER LEVEL POKÉMON STILL SUCH A CHALLENGE?

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

She may have that knowledge, but she is still lacking in experience

@Cerces22

I'm laughing so hard right now!! X"D Idk if it's the bright red text, or just how intensely I read it in my head, but the whole DAWN ON DAY 6: ??? HOURS REMAIN just made it seem like Liz was for some reason in some kinda horror movie where she needs to survive till the end, but for now the audience is just supposed to panic, because we only know she has ??? left to go, lmao.
I'm sorry, did that even make sense? Lol, I actually just now read ur last post, and I felt the need to share my reaction.

Carry on~

@Metamore

It was a Majora's Mask reference, it popped into my head and needed to write it lol, but in a world where people can die and become pokemon, or be kidnapped by pokemon is it really anything other than a horror movie?? Lol

[Metamore]

Drats! I always knew never playing Zelda games would be my cultural reference downfall, lol.

You're right though, there's lots of dark themes within pokémon when you peel back the rosy sheen of it being a "children's game." Least of which is the romanticization of dog fighting, overall parental neglect, and yes: the fact that several pokémon have a predilection for abduction.

@Metamore

Zelda is my game, I got a tattoo, a replica Master Sword, clothing, figures, blankets,, board games, hell my 4 year old demands to fall asleep every night listening to Zeldas Lullaby, I am aZelda fanatic lol, and Dusknoir alone makes me semi thankful I don't live in the Pokemon world... Though I do love my ghost types soooo bloody much ::hint hint @balthazar007:: lol

@Metamore

Your Girafarig is weak to Dark type moves. (+50%)
Fake tears is a stat effecting move (+50%)

Since Fake Tears is a stat effecting move, it will only have effect against your pokemon's power level IF Bonsly wins the next roll as well.

Questions answered?

[Metamore]

@Balthazar007
Oh okay, I understand the typing now.

I still don't get though why Fake Tears would be guaranteed to deal 8 Damage... wait, when you said this:

Instead, they are tacked on to the next roll's result, but only if the next roll's result is favorable.

You meant that whatever favorable roll result they get is added all added to their next move if it's favorable? So there's no modifier or anything, it's just a double attack in a way?
I don't want it to sound like I'm whining, but I am genuinely curious then why Stat moves get a bonus just for being used? I thought it was to make them sort of a gamble. Like: you can have a higher chance of winning this roll, but do you really think you can win the next roll too, and do you think it's worth risking you wasting two turns for a +50% modifier?
Either way, I'm cool with it. I think I'll definitely be using them more in the future though ;D

Yes, it's to make them a gamble, just like you said there. You got it.

Long, exhausting, productive day today. I'll post in the morning. :)

@Metamore
I've slept on the whole Stat move thing and I'm now going to make an adjustment.

Like you insinuated, stat moves themselves shouldn't get a 50% boost. They are meant to support the next move. So this is the new system for stat moves:

Stat moves no longer gain a 50% boost on their roll. Instead (if they are effective) the next roll for that Pokemon will be boosted by 50%. Also, all "damage" that a stat would do is transferred over to the next roll (if the next roll is favorable).

So basically, everything stays the same as before, except the 50% boost is pushed to the next turn, not the stat move's turn.

This will be the new system going forward. All past rolls still stand.

@Cerces22
Hey there. You were one number off in the RNG machine from having a Legendary Pokemon encounter just now... Thought you'd like to know. LOL

[Cerces22]

@Balthazar007

Why tell me these things, I am now crying in the fetal position and my 4 year old is comforting me 😭😭😭😭

[Cerces22]

@Balthazar007

I like how this rps gameplay is constantly evolving and changing, I hope when the sad day comes and this ends, you will begin a new story and allow more people, I won't speak for @Metamore but I will def join that one, and help the new generation of trainers lol

@Cerces22

Sorry, Nope. You have enough TP to by the HM CUT at the Pokemart though. You can come back after you use it.
