On another note: Kuji, we had a problem that we were to ask you about but seems we forgotten to. Can area attacks accidentally hit the other trainer, at least in formal or formal-ish matches?

Yeah...in field battles, I'm gonna say anything goes, but in a formal, official matches, I'm gonna suggest "Trainer Energy Shields"-which protect you the trainer from direct attack as long as he doesn't interfere with the battle directly. Then it would be a tactical choice...

Really. I insist.

I'm gonna say that from now on if the battle happens on a map that looks like a Pokemon Battle Arena, the trainers are protected.

[Felius]

Mental note: Do not stay too near or forming a straight line with two battling Pokemon.

[KujiUn]

Especially now that all Sprays are Columns, and other stuff.

Hm... Taunt, Swagger, or Flatter for the Dirty Fighter...

[thatkid]

Looks like next TL I'm raising strength and using one of my feat points on the trainer ability that gives me another +1str for working out on a daily basis. That should put me up to 13 str to go along with the 13int and will, and since I fully expect some intense battles now that we can challenge other trainers Isaac might just have his mystic powers awakened. And then the doors will be opened for him to become a psychic as well, as I'll no longer need to worry about the strength hit becoming a psychic results in.

Just to clarify: If I qualify for the Mystic class and become a mystic, and then cease to qualify I still remain a mystic and can continue to take any abilities or advanced classes that I qualify for, right?

E: Since I'm so far behind on the pokemon-owned count, I was wondering if I could request a session in the same vein as Haika's dustox-catching session? Isaac would likely just take an ATV out (assuming they're repaired yet) in search of ghost pokemon. Maybe looking for ruins on the map or something.

E2: Going through and making an actual list of pokemon I'd like to catch over the course of this game. Will post it in a little bit.

[KujiUn]

Kid:

First question (losing STR due to psychic), yes. As long as you meet the stat requirements WHEN YOU TAKE IT, you should be fine.

Second question: Owned count is a group shared count. If you still want to do it, ask Weird.

[thatkid]

I shall wait for Weird's reply on the matter then. I would like to have a pokemon other than Lily soon, in any case.

Also, I quick list of pokemon that I know Isaac will try to catch if he sees:

Spoiler: Variety! (click to show/hide)

Giratina - Allied or Caught, Preferably Caught

Spiritomb
Rotom
Gastly/Haunter/Gengar
Golett/Golurk
Shuppet/Banette
Natu/Xatu
Yamask/Cofagrigus
Unown
Snorunt -> Froslass

That's not a definitive list, if you guys throw out something cool/interesting I'll probably go for it anyways. I can hardly expect you to let me have a team of all ghost types anyways

[Weirdsound]

You'd have to ask around or guess to find the right spots for Ghost Types. It's not like they are everywhere.

At least you have it better than Haika. If he wants to go after that Dustox before I drop it in his lap he'll have roll one hell of a Wisdom check to track down a specific individual Pokemon at night.

Edit: I thought we already learned out lesson about splitting the party...

[KujiUn]

"You'd have to ask around or guess to find the right spots for Ghost Types. It's not like they are everywhere."
"The Mystic intuitively senses the presence of Ghost Type pokemon."

Do I need to say more?

Also... Pokedex tracks seen Pokemon. Not SPECIFIC seen Pokemon, but Haika can set his Pokedex to radar Dustox and all Dustox within the same hex will be tracked.

[thatkid]

I'm assuming the city has a graveyard or something I can go to explore. Seems like an obvious place to find the spirits of the dead :P
But yeah, Isaac will no doubt ask Mex Stream about potential ghost-type locations as well as use the pokedex to try and track down more litwicks and misdreavuses; where there's one ghost-type there's probably more.

But I thought the reason for not splitting the party was that it was a drain on the GMs to have to deal with multiple things going on at once? If a character sneaks off while the others are sneaking, the issue of split GM attention can be solved by simply treating as a low-to-no exp solo adventure. If the issue is that we'll get curb-stomped, I'm sure our characters can be a little more sneaky about things so as to avoid such an outcome.
What exactly is the reasoning for not splitting the party?

E: Hey, guys. Lily's current load-out is so:

Think I should get rid of a move for it? Right now I'm aiming to turn Lily into a debilitator who can pack a punch, but this attack could be incredibly useful for capturing pokemon or otherwise dealing with large groups of opponents. I'm on the fence here.

E2: Also, I don't suppose anyone still has that link with a list of homebrewed classes we're allowed to use? I'm planning out Isaac's trainer progression should he have reason to become a mystic, and I'd like to see if there's anything I can cross-class into that will allow him to actively take part in battles aside from hex maniac.

[Haika]

-.- That litwick is soo overpowered. None of my pokemon come even close to having the full 7 attacks. Sheesh.

And yes, I'm going to search for the darn dustox, because it's too much of a story now for me to let it drop. Heh. *drops into hippie voice* We have a connection... maaan...

This is the change to leveling system for So You Wanna Be the Best.

[thatkid]

Can we take these changes as an implication that we will be gaining TLs at a decreased speed? Or simply that we'll become more powerful faster?

E: Either way, I like them a lot. Leaves a lot of maneuvering for builds and such

[KujiUn]

The latter.

EDIT: HOWEVER, keep in mind you aren't the ONLY one following this system. All NPCs follow it too.

[thatkid]

I figured the NPCs were also following it. Either way, this is a good thing for me. I no longer need to stress out as much about trying to get the type of trainer I want, as Isaac has more classes to play around with and more points to spend in attributes and feats.

[Haika]

Hmm, it seems the D&D game that Dwarmin, Barb, and myself are involved in will be playing on monday.

I don't suppose people will be around and willing for a Sunday(later tonight, like in 17 hours) session?

With the East Marches D&D game on Monday, and the Alt Energy game on Friday. Making things difficult for any more impromptu sessions other than Wed.
