Default Cult of Arceus-OOC

that is cult according to this definition > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_%2...us_practice%29

here we can call colours and talk about what is going on in game^_^

ps. the cult of arceus refers to the main bad guys who are a radical sect of the "cult of Arceus", which belives that Arceus is the creator, and mew as well as ghost, dark, and dragon pokemon are demons who must be eliminated in order for Arceus to return to this world

Douglas will select...

Hrm. You know, for once I don't have a preference of color for him, so I'll let everyone else pick first. :P

Should we repost our character sheets here for convienience?

And now that everyone has... I'll try for Dark Green

a quick note on pokemon languages;
most pokemon families have there one language that any pokemon of equal or higher intelligence can fully understand (and that those of lower intelligence an get the gist of). there are however a few exceptions to this rule for instance, all ghost type pokemon can speak the "Ghost Tongue" which can be understood by any pokemon or human it is directed at(every one else hears it as a harsh whisper or hissing noise), and pokemon with telepathy, who can speak mind to mind with anyone thing meet.

I wonder if I can take a made-up Earth Shaker or Type Ace feat named "Rock Tongue" that let's me speak to Rock types and teach them the Rock Tongue. "I hear a rumbling through the stone...a whisper of things that have been...and things that will come..."

Maybe I can teach you some poke speak. Or we could get you a golett to act as a translator if all else fails, since I think it's ghost/rock, and if it's not, you can make it ghost/rock anyway.

Ground/Ghost type. I'll probably pick up Elemental Sync for something. Maybe a Golet or even a Ghastly. Levitate is cool.

Oh - sorry!

I'm never sure whether I'm going too quickly or too slowly. Sorry - if you'd like, I can edit that out? It just seemed like a good time for it.

I like Rock Tongue thematically, though. ^_^ Maybe make it 'Earth Tongue' and apply to ground and rock, though.

If we call it Earth Tongue, why not Ground, Rock, and Steel then?

What kind of range does Telepathy have, by the way?

By the way, can I use my Pokedex on other people's Pokemon? Is it considered rude? I guessed that the "Scyther" was a Garchomp, and wheel-shaped could be Bronzor, but I'm drawing a blank on the cat-sized Charizard and the giant Surskit thing. Also, if it is a Garchomp, there's no way I'm fighting that thing. It has to be, like, at least level 50. Legitimately. But, eff it, I'll do it anyway. Maybe I'm overestimating her due to my fear of midgets. If I beat her, will footage of the battle suffice for a full page of Pokedex information?

Good question on the pokedex, especially with a bunch of trainers around.

I'm also at a bit of a loss at the moment of what to do, heh. :P So any nudge for either more conversation or something else is appreciated!

Edit: Oh, one more thing!

Machoke is my favorite pokemon by quite a bit, but machamp (While he's alright), is not. ^_^ Please please don't have Truse evolve!

Normally in the games I just ride the B button, as I actually use machoke competitively, but I'm not sure how that is in PTA. If need be, I'll lock an everstone on him or something, but can he just not evolve in case this comes up? :P

I am counting on you using the pokedex, DNA scan is minimum for pokedex info and is almost zero effort(just a trainer action then wait two turns for it to go through) , the charizard and surskit are size variations(they where in the anime quite a bit but not in any other media, and I think a tiny charizard is just awesome), the Scyther is a unique scyther and you are right to fear him(you will not be fighting him in this battle, the "he is lazy" was gym jargon for out of your class.).

i was originally going to go with something like that, and we can if you want(lower intelligence pokemon would just use a more simple version)

I will see what I can do about making things happen.

Also..
Sure, I consider the old trade evolvers to be more unnatural(they evolve more due to human pressure then to normal growth) then the other ways anyway, so without pressure from you to "BE STRONGER!", I do not think he would evolve.[also if this thing comes up with other pokemon, the pokedex has a "Stop evolution button", which obviously only works if you are in range]

ps. I have the same thoughts about Gangar(cool idea, execution needs work.)

Might want to pick up Underdog at level 25. Good stuff for keeping your Machoke as good as a Machamp. Also the Eviolite item might be a better hold item than the Everstone.

Speaking of mini pokemon, is there a specific way to get them? The idea of a charizard perching on a shoulder sounds interesting.

Default Re: Cult of Arceus-OOC

I've done a brief analysis of 'who gets what from breeding amongst our current party' ^_^

Some of these may not be directly applicable right now (For example, Tony's Cubone[Lil' Helper] is expressly too young to breed yet), or they may require an intermediary step with Gel the ditto, but I figured I'd just put everything here for convienience.

Here's also hoping that Reivax might allow a minor amount of plot-transferrence, where technically a pokemon is not the same as the original due to breeding, but fluff-wise it's the same pokemon. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure a healthy array of pokemon won't end up being swapped out. I know I sure wouldn't. :P

(The fluff of Douglas bringing out the best in an existant pokemon is also pretty reasonable, and drop in levels can be explained)

Aaaaaaaaanyway! Here's the list. Of course, regardless of the below, you still get a +6 to one stat, a +5 to a second, six egg moves, a chance at a nature you'd like, and if the child is on the field the parent can give half of its XP to the child. It results in 1d6+1 eggs, which is good for randomizers (Such as on nature).

Eshkigal: Tony has two very interesting lists in Sableye(Reaper) and Cubone(Lil' Helper), although 'sunny day houndour' also sounds generally nice.
Skarmory: [None]
Sableye: [Machoke] Leer, Foresight, Rain Dance, Attract, Swagger
Houndour: [Numel] Sunny Day
Gyrados: No Egg Moves
Cubone: [Larvitar] Sandstorm, Screech, Rock Slide, Chip Away

Major: Sorry dood, due to mixes of egg groups there isn't too much for poor Kara just yet. ;_; There's still the other bonii, though - such as 'six egg moves'.
Pichu: [Togepi] None (Technically charm but already learns it at level 1)
Togepi: [Pichu] None (Technically charm but already learns it at level 1)
Staryu: Star has no egg moves nor gender
Dratini: [Tirtouga] None, [Gyrados] None

PresentPresence: Peter has a couple smaller options, but they seem fairly potent. Especially for Rhyhorn :P
Larvitar: [Rhyhorn] Stomp
Rhyhorn: [Larvitar] Sandstorm, Rock Slide
[Houndour] None, [Pichu] None
[Numel] Magnitude, Sunny Day, Sandstorm, Bulldoze
Bonsly: [Roggenrola] Harden, Headbutt
Roggenrola: [Bonsly] Curse
Tirtouga: [Dratini] Slam

Then Douglas has a small amount on numel:
Machoke: [Sableye] None (Technically Leer)
Numel: [Houndour] Ember, Howl
[Rhyhorn]Stomp

I'd definitely take a tirtouga or larvitar, and supply aerial mounts for all if ditto can go with anything in the game. Alternately, I would give everyone a houndour puppy as long as we stuck together, with any left going to his family, most likely. Actually, anyone except Lil' Helper is fair game, really.

Would it be too much to have Turbo be an unusually large skarmory, then?
