The one Pokemon game (i think it was PTA) I did play one time long ago was pretty fun and had lots of promise, but the GM stopped after a while
Its hard for them, so I can see why.
So my last session showed us we're a terribly squishy party. Bard has -1 to con, rolled a 1 on his hit die and got no HP. I rolled a 1 and got 2hp, beinging me to 9hp, and the cleric is the only one who got HP. We were sent after a group of criminals who were harassing a woman. The guards aren't doing shit, they knew but left it alone. This was apparent when I use minor illusion to create an image of a guard who said "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!" and they laughed at him because they said guards don't do their jobs. They found out I was doing that and they just wreck us with crossbows, including almost killing our goblin buddy. We ONLY won because I used chromatic orb and melted a guy with a critical hit and insta-killed him from full HP, put one to sleep right away, and even though I got a 6 on my intimidate check, I scared the shit out of their leader who booked it and we killed another one. Bard dropped to 0hp again, cleric was hit almost every time, and I was bouncing around at 1hp for the entire fight after the first round, and the goblin was stuck being unconscious but stable the whole time (DM said he lasts 1 round until he's gone for good).
The guy we put to sleep got tied up and, while questioning him, the bard threatens to kick him if he doesn't talk. I go up to the bard and pretty much go:
"Let me handle this, Mr Dragg.
Sir, do you see that green goop? That was your friend."
I had rolled really high on persuasion, because all was left was a greenish goop with pieces of gear left there, and he notices something in there that showed him it was his buddy. He starts panicking.
"I will do that to you if you do not tell us what we want to know"
He started to slur his speech in his panic to the point he wouldn't shut up, so we got the info we needed (we found their secret base behind a secret door, which is behind a stone wall with a metal sheet behind it). I had to leave at this point, but we decided to rest. I regrettably do NOT have any acid damage cantrips, so I'm stuck freezing the door with ray of frost, having the cleric smack it with his mace over and over until the metal breaks. Its very brute force, but other than carving the area around it, which probably leads to nowhere.
Pretty short session, but it shows we REALLY need this guy we've been waiting to show up. He's a dragonborn barbarian, and he's apparently got the best stats in the whole group, with 5/6 scores over 14, one being an 18, and a 9. As much as I love fighting within inches of our lives, I'm not fond of having our party get 1 shot by a heavy crossbow... Bard got for 8 damage and he went down
