Yep-we're going after a big nest of them, since I expressed interest in catching one. Usually every player gets to suggest at least one location to travel to in a day, or we might just wing it and explore on the fly.

-Strategy wise, that means we're going to be outmanuevered by quick flyers with high attack, and naturally we will have to be careful of the mirror move. Fearow are smart enough to mirror super effective moves against teammates, I believe. :P

All in all, a real nasty battle. Which is why sometimes Diplomatic captures work-like, walking up and talking to them! Unless the Pokemon in question are psychopaths, they usually wont attack us outright.

Are there any shops available on the island in this game?
And if so, do pokemon get offended when you sell their eggs?
Because on the one hand, I can hatch a common pokemon's egg in about 3 days and sell it for up to 2,500 monies, and getting the Litters feature would boost my revenue by about 2.5x, but on the other hand... "Hey Iladar, go have sex so I can make some money selling your child(ren)" seems rather callous. Bear in mind that I'm trying to roleplay Kaliche as having high cha not because he's manipulative, but because he's caring.

Also, I guess I'm going to be trying to diplomacy-spam these Fearows... I could do with having a flying-type mon. Or several.

There is two inhabitated towns, one of which I believe has a fully stocked shop of Tms and everything, and both sell basic items. But, money is hard to come by for everyone except me and I guess you now-you saw I'm a photographer, and make on average $1500 a day right now.

As for the selling eggs...It would probably depend on their own personality. They produce eggs so fast, some wouldn't care-if you gave them a cut of the profits in the form of things they like-others would be more protective and might prefer to raise them for a bit, or choose who they go to. You would have to talk it out so they don't get angry. Since low loyalty pokemon WILL betray and plot against you.

As for flying type, I've got Zubat and a Archen that you might like on your team as well, assuming you could find a good trade for them.

I like the idea of bargaining with the pokemon to get them to understand that the sale of their eggs is for their benefit too... and we have mystics (or is it psychics? blergh) on our team to auto-translate. Add in my charisma and the fact that my starters are likely to do a good chunk of the breeding, I can probably make some decent cash.

As for trading, I need to actually catch some mons first. Heh. Although, Archen are pretty cool IMHO, if it's a female perhaps I could have it breed with one of my guys and use my breeder traits to make an even better one. Mwahaha. Then I shall own one of the potentially strongest and most awkward birds evar!

(I can take +1 wis and the Litters feature next level... we shall see how this whole business pans out, because apparently having Dual Wielding is way important. Then again, so is money.)

I'm the translator. :P Psychic, Empath. We also have a few psychic pokemon that can do so, such as Mr Vance, and Alexis.

About the eggs, you might want to try to roleplay trying to find caring people to pass them, instead of selling it to anyone who have the money.

So, there's a game in 9 hours?
Scheduled to be in 8 hours & 40 minutes, but more likely to actually start in exactly 9 hours?

Yeah, pretty much. We play a session on every Wednesday, about the same time. 9 exactly is a bit iffy, though-we start not later then 10 anyway.

I might be willing to start earlish. If we do, there will be breaks taken in the middle of it all, but without Azure, I'm feeling deprived of Pokemon this week.

Yes, Haika dropped the ball hard core.

He would rather dragon shout hairy bears off cliffs in a mystical fantasy land, than throw balls at oddly colored chimeran monsters in a cartoonish representation of the modern world, and we hates him forever.  ???

Earlish? Oh boy. I might not make it to earlyish.
...I'll keep you guys posted.

EDIT: I should be there within an hour of this edit. Should. Maybe 1.2 hours.

It's probably Earlyish, but not yet enough.

Anyway, while we wait, can anybody remember what was our schedule going to be look like tonight? After them Fearows, of course.

All I can recall is someone wanting a Staryu...

@Shoruke: Also, If you have not done so yet, you should make a most wanted list of Pokemon for your character. It helps!
Edit: I'd say it's about no more than two hours to start time, unless tonights scheduling is odd. You can make it no problem.

Eh. Anyhope of starting early seems to be dashed. But the good news is I should be done with dishes by the proper start time.

Yep! I'm helping out with dishes today! Anyways, Imma log out soon. Thanks, Haika, for doing your secret mission, and don't forget to post your top six Pokemon averages. Sho, you don't need to post anything, don't worry.

Average requested:
« (38+40+30+30+30+29)/6 = (38 + 40 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 29) / 6 = 32.83333333333333333333333333333333 »

Hilde, Alexis, Rosa, Porky, Darla, and Kaito

Kaito's been chosen even if I don't use him that much because of outside of the core 5 I mentioned, I use them all.

This average might change if Paul, the Smith and/or the beldum captured starts being used more.
