Pokemon Umbral Discussion 20: Now With New Discussion Thread Smell!

Multi-hit attacks will not generate more Rage than single-hit attacks.

Testament Drives will no longer self-activate upon defeat. No more Legend Bombing for you.

And I thought Geminex sent me a PM saying everyone agreed that he was the leader? Well, you all can work together on deciding formation setup and DSS slot allocation.

And fine, here's a goddamned sexy picture! Whiny little nose-pickin' perverts...

So, which girl gets hotter when she grows up?

May or...

Misty?

Either way, I'd definitely play a lot more Pokemon if I knew I'd have a traveling companion like that. Catching powerful animals is fine, but everyone knows that kids, especially grown up kids, would really go on an RPG-style adventure to find the hawtness they just can't find in their cozy little four-house village. Pretty RPG anime girls are what we really want to catch all of.

As for example Pokemon Co-Ops, Dracorian did an excellent job of creating some. I could approve any of those. Use those as a template.

Not yet. Not until Mission 4 ends, I believe.

I've already got an idea for my first custom item. Now I just gotta come up with a second one.

Which reminds me:

PC Trainers can create customized accessories to be held by their two Leader Pokemon.

That's what you said, AB. Does that mean they'd be accessories, like scarves? Pretty little things that waste a pokemon's only item slot but don't really do anything? Or are they functional items?

Ah. Well, then I guess you all hold joint leadership.

Oh, and Geminex asked about something else I forgot to put in.

The Sniper specialty won't be in the actual formation. Their job is to follow you from a high vantage point and take out designated targets. Their attacks will deal damage with very high critical hit modifiers that will also tear apart the Morale Integrity Value. They're also your only means of dealing with enemy Snipers directly.

Certain factors will affect Snipers. Snipers lose the ability to attack when a Sandstorm and/or Hailstorm are in effect until the Engineer places a targeting beacon on the designated target. Otherwise, they won't fire for risk of hitting an ally.

And no, Charlotte, you can't order the Engineer to put a targeting beacon on Pierce.

...And I won't give you the Sniper speciality, either.

...And I won't let you bribe the Sniper.

Damn, I'm going to be at this all day because I know Charlotte's going to find a loophole.

See my edits.

Astral Harmony · 05-15-2010, 03:46 PM

Of course they're gonna be functional, you nimrod!

Damn, both you and Menarker are nimrods. 2/5 down, baby!

These accessories are best described as accessories you won't pick up anywhere else, like those orbs that only Dialga and Palkia can equip which boosts both of their types.

Dracorion · 05-15-2010, 04:01 PM

Hey, it's not my fault I can't predict what the hell you come up with.

Anyway, can Sniper Snaggers still Snag enemy pokemon?

For that matter, can Sniper Trainers catch fainted rogue pokemon?

Man, I already know what Pierce's thoughts about Aster Lloyd are. "I can't believe they found someone even gayer than Renny." I'm pretty sure his faith in humanity is destroyed now.

Which reminds me, there are a couple of throwaway lines I wanted to give you jerks for Pierce's sidequest:

Remember how you all thought Pierce's speech was totally out of character (y'know, aside from the fact that I botched it and so it's not Pierce's fault)? Turns out he's a lot more innocent than he seems.

Also, Pierce's sister Sam has always lived in Wintervale. Always. Y'know, until she's turned into a brainwashed zombie, that is.

Here ya go, AB:

[Held Item] Terra Hammer (Pierce's Tyranitar only): Boosts the power of Tyranitar's attacks by 5%. Tyranitar's Sandstorm does double damage to enemies and doesn't damage allies.

One down, one to go.

Astral Harmony · 05-15-2010, 04:07 PM

No, Sniper Snaggers cannot catch Pokemon. There isn't going to be a Sniper Snagger. The Snaggers you do get will fall into Specialties that will actually be in the formation.

As for a Sniper Trainer, that also won't be possible.

I'd give Terra Hammer a 50/100 Rage Point cost. Hell, I'll probably give Shannon's Abomasnow the same Pokemon Co-Op. One thing you should consider is that the sandstorm will subside should Tyranitar either be defeated or recalled. Keep him out on the battlefield as much as you can to maximize the number of turns that Co-Op is in play.
