Why would anyone use Facade or Strength or Return or any other Normal move then if Hyper Beam/Giga Impact does 1.5x the amount of damage with no penalty and no setup (like Facade needing to be status afflicted or Return building up happiness factor). The situation isn't anything like we'd need to worry about it, but at least I know to keep those moves recharge stages in mind.

As for the items, that is true. But it won't matter THAT much, since the two of us on the roof only used 1 item each and nearly knocked out two trainers already and their rogue pokemon? We'll have plenty of items to spare for the foes inside. ^^

Well, I know that the first time it was used, (by Salamence, in the tunnels) Salamence had to recharge. I�m guessing AB just missed the fact that Mamoswine should be recharging the turn it used Blizzard, though I very much doubt that he�d mind if Isaac was capable of acting again immediately, since he�s still super-powered and all that.
Though Spitz should also be recharging this turn, considering his last attack was a Hyperbeam aimed at Cacturne. Not that I�m complaining. I like it that it�s attacking Roserade.

Yeah maybe the fact that I am still super-powered means that I don't have any need for recharges. I think I am going to wait on my post until AB can confirm it though since the decision will effect my post quite a bit.

I'm home, back in my civilian clothes, my shoes are off, I've got my foot-long Subway Melt, two Hawaiian Punches, my handheld game systems and cellphone are recharging, my Pok�mon Platinum Official Strategy Guide is sitting right beside the sandwich, and Saliva is rockin' my eardrums.

In other words, I'm ready to update.

I didn't notice that I screwed up on the Mamoswine before. Sorry about that. As for Rock Wrecker, go ahead and forget about the warmup or cooldown, compliments of Paradigm Shift. Go 'head and make that Ariados cry uncle. I like Bug Pok�mon myself, but I prefer Vespiquen over Ariados. Seriously, couldn't Spinarak evolve into something a bit more kickass lookin'?

Anyways, Zombie Tyranitar just died from Garus hitting it with a Revive. You just got Pok�pwned...wait, there isn't an actual post about a Zombie Tyranitar, is there? I read and respond to this before I even go to the RP.

Magnezone is still down, but not for long. Rachel's heading towards the roof group, then to the parking lot group to help with the fallen Dragonite unless that was revived. I don't know how you guys responded to all that I posted yesterday so...

As for having enough items, you may just need 'em. The Evil Eevee Eight ain't got shit on what awaits in that vault.

EDIT 1: A couple of you guys wanted more time? Coolio, I'm going to play some Bioshock 2. See y'all again in a few.

Geminex · 02-24-2010, 04:57 AM

Are we going to be getting a post today, despite Rapter's absence? If not, I'd sign off now.

Oh, and I had a horrible idea for an enemy. Mew pokebrid. Can use all TMs, HMs, breeder moves and quite a few of its own, most notably transform. Hunting that through the city (or an abandoned research lab) in squads...
Might be fun. ^^

Astral Harmony · 02-24-2010, 05:31 AM

Yeah, but for right now, you're getting to face the Narcham, eventually. The worst part is, that's the initial phase of its evolutionary cycle.

Geminex · 02-24-2010, 06:34 AM

Oh dear. That looks interesting. It's awfully kind of it to identify itself. Raises all kinds of interesting questions, a la "How do pokemon know their own names?" and "If names are inherent, what can they mean? They cannot possibly just be bad puns, right?".

Or at least it would, were I not busy feverishly thinking of ways we could wipe it out. The Impact in me is yelling to just collapse the building on it using any pokemon that has earthquake, then to focus fire on anything that's left alive.

Also...
just tell me, how old are our opponents?

Dracorion · 02-24-2010, 09:56 AM

I don't think any of our pokemon know Earthquake. Maybe Isaac knows it.

And damn, them Narchams are going to be fun. But how could they kill Darcen's pokemon? Aren't they supposed to return to the pokeballs when they're severely injured?

Unless whatever it's giving off to mess with the scouters also screwed with the pokeballs. In which case, Impact might be happy to know that some of our pokemon could die.

If you wanted to kill the hostages inside that is...

Yeah, I figured they'd be teens to mid 20s at most.
Naughty Impact. :3

Well, I'm just wondering what sort of typing Narcham is. At best I can use a dragon type move if I wanted to do it the easy way since only steel resists it.

Dracorion · 02-24-2010, 11:51 AM

Steel-electric seems to be the only one that can interfere with scouters, so that's probably it.
