yeah i tried to not pick the same pokemon for another typing
coz if i had the choice alot of them would be like dominated by the same few pokemon
i think ice and normal are the only ones im not like happy with
mostly coz pool wise, and trying not to do dupes, i dont really care for those 2

Who that
hasty anchor
Edgar. He's kinda big deal among all those bikers, or something.
This attack was from Head Smash, by the way. And it only did that much damage
hasty anchor
Eevee being way, way too jacked, plus Evolite
normal cave
Oh
hasty anchor
I switched into Linoone cause he's too stubborn about switching and used Belly Drum
I am now prepared to utterly destroy him. With a Raccoon Dog
Evidently this guy's team is nothing but 600 BST beatsticks. What a loser.
kind vortex
read erosion as eruption and nearly hurt myself in my confusion
hasty anchor
Erosion is an ice-type attack and it's bonkers.
It's 10 points more powerful than Ice Punch and has a large chance to reduce the ATK of anything hit by it.
hasty anchor
Eevee keeps wanting to evolve into Sylveon, but come on, I'm not having that after you ripped a Garchomp in half.
last musk
What are you going to evolve it into?
hasty anchor
It's staying as Eevee!
last musk
Fair enough
hasty anchor
Mostly because I just discovered that in this game, Eevee is ridiculous
I almost want to pick Eevee as my one starting mon now, but I'm pretty sure I'd have missed out on Munchlax
last musk
Oh does it get like a lets go style buff?
hasty anchor
Nah. I'm pretty sure it just has ridiculously higher stats
Haven't noticed it learning any of those super special moves

Alright it's finally come to this.
I finished TGOM.
...And now, unfortunately must make good on the promise to play Dark Rising from Bolt
This Gym of Mine was pretty neat! Admittedly, it was very barebones, but being a jam game, I can see why it would be pretty minimalistic
kind vortex
i think the hope is that the rank up edition ends up having more meat on the bones
hasty anchor
It's definitely very nice looking, the demo was
kind vortex
but yes, the concept of being a gym leader and running a gym is fun, if done well
hasty anchor
Though there's a lot of abusable stuff in there. You already got an infinite money trick with Triple Triad
kind vortex
.....the final fantasy 8 card game?
hasty anchor
Yeah, it's a thing in Rank Up
kind vortex
are variant rule sets also a thing?
and can you change th erules in different regions?
hasty anchor
I think there's a variant rule thing in place but heck if I know what that rule was
Would be neat to see like, type matchups in spot there
kind vortex
triple triad was really annoying in ff8, simply for the tediousness of it all
and there were a lot of unintuitive steps
"lose x card to y person to get z card later on"
which you'd probably never know without a guide
hasty anchor
You don't need any strategy, practically every good card is obtainable as soon as you can get cards
Meanwhile your opponents are trying to make anything work by playing Sunkern, which just has 1 on each side
kind vortex
lol
hasty anchor
Anyways, I'm gonna go look for Dark Rising, as per bolt's request.
Please keep me in your thoughts as I encounter grimderp beyond my comprehension... or so I'm told.
normal cave
kind vortex
idr if it was dark rising or some other similarly named game but i remember playing something like it a decade or so ago
and it was about as cringe-edgy as you 'd expect from the name

Anyways, I'm gonna go look for Dark Rising, as per bolt's request.

So, what you learned from Gym of Yours, in terms of of study for your game
Honestly? Wasn't really paying much heed to learning this time. Though, it did give me some insights on what can be done through the essentials package
pseudo goblet
But with more adult themes like drugs and violence?
I feel like they did that, at least a gore image of it
kind vortex
a lot of games did that, that's the joke
hasty anchor
Mostly it was a fun thing to try that Summer liked, so I figured I'd give it a try
And realistically, TGOM was very much welcome, since aside from poking at mechanics and stuff, it felt like an actual game of some kind writing-wise

Does that count as pinball joke, idk lol
kind vortex
Enemy trainers seem to be loaded with like, *so many items like seriously*
this is why i like when they make it equal: players can't use items? okay, neither will the opponent
hasty anchor
Yeah, which, in hindsight, is very fair
I got like so many items, so I guess it's like "Well, crap, I guess they can do that thing too a whole bunch" instead of like "What? They're using items? That's so unfair!"
It's when you can't, but they can that I'll call foul play on
kind vortex
well if they let you also use items then it's equal, so i'm okay with it
my personal preference is just barring them across teh board tho
hasty anchor
Shout outs to that Rich Boy in RSE that will use a Full Restore on a level 5 or so Zigzagoon. Just cause.
kind vortex
okay tbf i liked that
it's a nice flavor bit
and it doesn't really make the battle any harder
hasty anchor
It was just funny cause, you can tell this guy likes to flaunt his wealth, and to prove it he'll use the highest efficiency medicine on the market just to patch up a scrap that his raccoon dog took from your Mudkip
Definitely a highlight of trainer behavior
The one thing that'll top it is if somewhere down the line we got another Rich Boy who has his mons use Fling, to throw Big Nuggets.

hasty anchor
Alright, so going off the synoposis of Unbound, evidently this whole thing is tied to XY somehow by having whatever region this game took place in being the region that started off the huge conflict so many years ago with Kalos. Hoopa is involved in some of this junk. And Arceus is, cause of course it is Arceus.
...Y'know that's one gripe I got with fangames as a whole: Having Legends and Mythics just be something everyone knows about.
Like, it makes sense for some Legendaries, like Kyogre for instance. The news of this legend must've been on many a world news headline given how it wasn't exactly being subtle with how it was going to flood the near-entirety of Hoenn. It's less so for something like Arceus, in which like, only two people in the actual games seems to know who or what Arceus is.
fading stratus
I didnt read the plot
hasty anchor
Just some slight gripe, but it is one trend I felt like less games ought to do
Mostly the blurb
fading stratus
but the start is basically
King exists there's a war he gets hoopa to win war but hoopa goes unbound
he uses 3 legendary bird to seal hoopa into chibi form

The whole deal with me running a fighting type gym in rank-up got me thinking
It is pretty dumb how Machamp cannot learn Mach Punch.
It learns Bullet Punch, which can go first as well... but it's a steel type move, which really isn't that great on Machamp, save for a few situations
I guess the idea was, given Machamp's whole deal is socking the opposition with many, many quick punches is why it learns Bullet Punch, but come on now
normal cave
It learns Bullet Punch, which can go first as well... but it's a steel type move...
Wym? It fucks up fairies.

Yeah, it's pretty good at that
Just, it doesn't learn the other very fast move that punches stuff, which does irk me a little bit.

Speaking of Spotlight, there's a lot more moves that didn't make the cut going from Sun/Moon onwards
Some of them are just stuff nobody uses anyways, like Doubleslap, Sharpen or Assist, but I do miss a few
Like, Submission. It's normally not a great move cause it's just an 80 BP fighting type move in the vein of Take Down or Wild Charge. What I do like is its Japanese name
It's called "Hell Wheel"
And that is metal
I'm pretty sure that's what they called the tumbling-grab-thing that Ken does in Street Fighter, if memory serves

It learns way more physical attacks than special attacks, and funnily enough the only special attacks it learns on its own are Aurora Beam and Moonblast.
It's physical attacks include very painful numbers like Close Combat, Megahorn, Horn Leech, Dark Slash, Outrage, and Giga Impact

hasty anchor
Ech, stomach's been hurting so much I haven't had time to do mons stuff, but I did decide to design a few custom moves
Normal Type
Status Move
PP: 10
Description: The user protects an ally by taking attacks intended for the target. Its chance of failing rises if used in succession
Use: A double battle move that allows a mon to protect another by using their body as a shield for them. If an attack was intended for the target of Forbearance, then the user will be hit instead. The attack's power is also reduced greatly (Thinking about 50% would be fine). This also works for status moves that would hit an ally, such as Featherdance, Stun Spore and the like, in which case the user becomes the target instead, as well as spread moves with the caveat that the damage calculation is done as if the spread move only strikes 1 target. Mons like Chesnaught, Armarogue, Nidoqueen may learn this, owing to their protective nature. Could also be learned by oddballs like Dubwool.```
```Pressure Strikes
Fighting Type
Physical Attack
PP: 5
BP: 60 (Punching move)
Description: The user strikes the target's pressure points with punches. Any Pokémon hit by this move faints in 3 turns, unless it switches out of battle.
Use: It's basically Perish Song, rolled into an attack.```
```Venom Cutter
Poison Type
Physical Attack
PP: 15
Secondary Effect: Bad Poison (50%)
BP: 80
Description: The user strikes with a poisonous slash which may badly poison the target. If the target is already poisoned, its Attack and Special Attack is also lowered.
Use: Exclusive to Greninja.```I'm no battling expert, so if any of these seem too busted or whatever I am open to suggestions
So far I think Venom Cutter's BP may be lowered
kind vortex
make your text for the move forbearance consistent witht he name you've chosen
(you have it listed as bodyguard in text)
hasty anchor
I just picked Forbearance cause it sounded cooler
kind vortex
also how does it interact with spread moves/
hasty anchor
Hmm, that is a good question. I imagine I could go a few ways with it
The user is using their body as a shield, so I imagine it may still take the hit and the target is safe, but in such a case it might take damage as if the spread move was just focused on one mon
kind vortex
for your second move, perish song with damage sounds absolutely obnoxious
hasty anchor
Admittedly I can't see much applications, given Follow Me is a thing, but I suppose it can thwart some dangerous strategies in a way follow me can't do
kind vortex
you can't taunt the user to stop it so you have to...i guess be a ghost type?
hasty anchor
Yeah, I will admit it's obnoxious. I guess having it's PP be a measely 5 would be alright, but really, it's just something I made cause "It sounded cool"
kind vortex
pray they don't have scrappy
hasty anchor
Rule of Cool was what inspired that one, so I'm not too sure what can be done to keep it in check
hasty anchor
I could also reduce its accuracy, so there can be a real chance of it missing.
kind vortex
for the third one, why does greninja need another signature move?
it already has water shuriken and mat block
hasty anchor
This is for a regional variation I thought up
This one wouldn't be able to use Water Shuriken and Mat Block. A few other variants I thought up have similar things going for it
kind vortex
ok
hasty anchor
It would be a Water/Poison type, with a bit more emphasis on physical moves rather than special moves
kind vortex
would it have sharpness?
hasty anchor
I imagine it would still have Protean, so no sharpness
kind vortex
also og gren is only slightly special-biased
it has 95 base atk so it's not that far off
mixed or even pure physical og greninja are both fine
hasty anchor
Yeah, it's not bad at making physical attacks, just this one would be slightly better at it (Something like it's Atk and Sp. Atk being flipped, for example)
kind vortex
its physical movepool also has some neat stuff
low kick and gunk shot go without saying but it even gets shadow sneak
right
hasty anchor
Thanks for the advice!
And yeah, starter stats does get confusing. I kept thinking for awhile OG Greninja's ATK was lower, but turns out, it can throw a punch pretty alright
fading stratus
forebearance seems very broken
hasty anchor
It does? I thought overall Follow Me would still have more use.
fading stratus
I mean its followme but it also halves damage
hasty anchor
Ah
last musk
For pressure strikes I think it'd be useful on tanks as a way to force the opponent to switch out their buffed mons/hit them with hazards, but I'm not sure how the flavour of the move would fit most tanks
hasty anchor
Yeah, I imagined mons that were finesse-focused (Medicham, Mienshao, etc.) could learn it, but I don't think something like say, Scrafty could learn it.
Rule of cool was what brought that one in.
last musk
As for venom cutter id like it to be special focused but it doesn't have to be, might actually make the edge cases for physical greninja more viable
fading stratus
the greninja is symph's regional variant greninja
so we dont know the stats anyway
last musk
Yeah, I imagined mons that were finesse-focused (Medicham, Mienshao, etc.) could...
The issue with it is a lot of these mons don't have the bulk to warrant a move like this, it'd mainly be used when you know the mon is going down and you want to force the switch, otherwise these mons would likely rather just kill outright
hasty anchor
That's true as well.
last musk
Id say it could be viable depending on the meta though
kind vortex
yeah i'm not thinking medicham/mienshao for a move like that practically
fading stratus
it'd be good in like maybe brian hands and even then that mon suffers from 4 move syndrome
kind vortex
medicham has pure power
so it hits like a truck
unless you're running a telepathy set in which case wtf are you doing
and mienshao has high base atk
i'm thinking of that move more in the context of more supportive mons
last musk
Could reflavour it to "crushing grapple" and give it to the bigger (height and weight) tanks
hasty anchor
I thought it would be something like that, given the move is about striking pressure points to induce fainting in a delayed manner. I originally thought of Machamp with this one, but Machamp is known for having ham hands, so its dexterity is very iffy.
kind vortex
you're already making regional variants so the sky's the limit with that
fading stratus
yeah
hasty anchor
Really, a lot of mons that go all in on martial arts don't tend to have very good tanking stats.
fading stratus
I don't like the poison move tbh
even if poison's the worst status condition
50% is still to much
and it reduces atk and spa too
hasty anchor
50% is actually what Poison Fang's chances of inflicting bad poison is, hence the percentage
