Pokemon Umbral Discussion 15: The PCs Think Their GM Is Smart. That's a Laugh. - Page 9

Oh, I work at a Costco, a supermarket of sort. All around purpose packer and front end assistant. Been there four years, which is extremely damn good considering that since I'm severely hard of hearing, most places won't consider hiring me and usually not for very long. I work hard though, since I don't want them to think otherwise for a second. It's kinda nerve-wracking to be a work-aholic just because the concern that if they don't like my work, they could just hire someone else who has a standard level of hearing. (It also helps that despite my skinny build, my muscles are VERY functionally strong. I can lift a kayak by myself.)

Curses. Drac's gone. AB, when you read this, can you assume that either Drac or myself gave everyone the order to heal if they could, before acting? I'm hoping that the kimonos have more crystallized demon god's blood to keep their strength up, cause I don't want to lose Shizuka.

Edit: I've found something that's very, very close to Impact's theme song. If only he was less like "MY POKEMON SKILLS ARE SUPERIOR TO YOURS" and more "I HAVE POWER OVER THIS SOCIETY, THIS WORLD! YOU CANNOT STAND AGAINST ME!". But still, very good.

Ha, I never noticed that Dante posted. ^^;

Just to answer his in-RP question, AB stated that cooldowns for moves like Hyper Beam and thus Giga Impact have been removed. A benefit when we're using it, and a punishment when it's the foe using it. ^^;

Although that Sharpedo did had to charge up its Skull Bash, although it gained defence out of it.

AB: You mentioned before that cooldown and charge-up moves like Solarbeam and Giga Impact don't have those things anymore, right? Do they apply to both friends and foe? Or did I make a mistake of some sort and they still have those cooldown / charge up periods?

Dracorion · 05-01-2010, 12:19 PM

Pff. Real men don't heal until they're dead!

In fact, Impact is a pussy for healing from a silly leg wound.

Anyway, edited it into my post.

Menarker · 05-01-2010, 12:38 PM

Later on, I'm going to scour all the discussion threads and perhaps the actual RP threads and look for updates or RP related GM approved changes and list them or something.

But not now. Got to leave for work in about 20 minutes.

If memory serves they were removed for Pokebrids in their paradigm shift. Or I'd be breaking out hyper beam and solarbeam waaaaaaaaaaay more frequently.

Dracorion · 05-01-2010, 01:27 PM

Note to self: point out targets to Charlotte.

Astral Harmony · 05-01-2010, 02:35 PM

Sure, I can assume that the order to heal was given.

-----

Pokebrids, when Paradigm Shifted, are exempt from the negative aspects of various moves and maximize the benefits. For example, they don't need to charge one turn to use Solar Beam, they don't need to cooldown on the turn after Hyper Beam, they don't take recoil damage, they can designate targets on moves that normally hit at random, they'll always deal the maximum number of hits on moves that can hit a random number of times, Magnitude will always deliver maximum power, I could go on and on.

Anyways, I'm gonna get off my lazy ass and post now.

EDIT: Whew. Done. Anyways, there's still two battles for each side. The bosses are just playing dirty right now.

Dracorion · 05-01-2010, 07:09 PM

Okay, first things first.

Does Shizuka's Applesauce work on Ruin Generals? I realize that doesn't help us right now, but y'know, we're probably going to need it soon.

And I don't suppose you can tell us how much damage the Absorbers can take?

Geminex · 05-01-2010, 07:35 PM

Wait, how did Rayquaza die? Didn't Rayleen heal him? Then again, no dragon-type moves're possible. Ok, what to do? With dragon, steel and dark out of the question, all we have is psychic and ghost. I wish I hadn't sent Whitney away.

And besides, I thought we'd have two, separate battles, not just one. I wouldn't have been so happy to use our signature techniques if that had not been the case. But very well. We can still win this. Maybe.

And could we get some more info on the "Hot Wheels" sequence? What does it do exactly? Does it just hit two enemies, or does it actually hit two enemies and the enemies of either side of both of them?
