Rylen would be pretty gung ho.

@AbysmalDemon should we open the titanpad for Rylen's first? Then you or me can take care of everyone else afterwards.

Pokémon: Nexus

So that's... Five people?

Pokémon: Nexus

By the way, who was challenging the gyms again? I want to make sure everyone's counted for, so we know how the assignments for the titanpad is going to go.

Pokémon: Nexus

Nah not really, I'm pretty sure once you hand that machine in, people in the town would be grateful.

Pokémon: Nexus

I guess we'll move onto the next day soon as @AbysmalDemon has sorted out gym battles. How was that going to go?

Pokémon: Nexus

I think different regions means different levels of tech, so we can handwave this event I think.

But I don't think we should be hauling around healing machines like it was everyday hardware again, because it isn't. It's specialized equipment, so before doing something like this @Tangletail, you should probably check in with Abysmal... Or the Co-GMs once he's assigned them.

Oh that said @AbysmalDemon, mess around with the "Edit Topic" option at the top of the page. I suggest figuring that out as GM.

Pokémon: Nexus

Oh yeah. I think they have that kind of thing going down in the anime for a couple gyms where you see people get destroyed before Ash rocks up.

Still, I believe we're going for the sensibilities of real life coupled with Pokémon's laws. Like I'm pretty sure it would be sensible for officially sanctioned gyms to have a healing machine for instance.

Pokémon: Nexus

It's assumed that some trainers you meet along the road even in the games have earned as many badges as you have at that point in the game. The dialogue of some trainers in some games suggests this as some actually admit to having a few badges.

For convenience, they really don't have a lot of challengers, that's because each time they focus on the main character. In the Pokémon Origins anime, it focuses on Red. In the regular anime, it focuses on Ash. In the games, it focuses on you. Of course you wouldn't see other challengers.

But based on what I saw in the Origins anime it looks like they would have some kind of healing machine set up somewhere in the back. It's very structured from what I saw.

Pokémon: Nexus

But... do gyms actually have a healing machine? You're generally forced to run back to the pokemon center, aren't you? I know the Elite 4 has them at the end of the journey.

@Tangletail

How else do they have fully healed Pokemon when you return after a loss?

That said, we're also melding some of the anime's logic because the game doesn't do certain things for gameplay reasons. They definitely would have a healing machine in the gyms.

Not to mention it's something useful to have when you have multiple challengers lining up a day.

Pokémon: Nexus

Wow you are really dead set on that. Does Leon have any background in working with hardware in any case?

Not to mention we're in a town with a gym, I'm pretty sure there are a few handymen around, it's not a small village.

And again.

The gym would have one too. Pretty sure there are repairmen for these machines in pretty much every larger town like this one.

EDIT: Oh nevermind I see it in his backstory now. Still though, I'm pretty sure the various authorities would spot him carrying a large machine that looks suspiciously like the Pokemon Center equipment. You might get a little visit shortly.
