SPPF Time Out Chat 2: Electric Bugaloo

[OkikuMew]

Perk of not starting off showing what pokemon you have with you. You can choose whichever one you want when you need it. Tess gave me an Unown L with HP Bug, so I'm going to use my Klink to battle it. And of course I'm battling it, I still haven't got my first capture!

It would be my first capture too, but I pretty much let the Unown choose between the pacifist and fighting paths ^^; But since his HM is Fighting, it wouldn't surprise me if he does fight X)


Edit: *sees that Halloween's Super Pass link for Move tutor was incorrect* Huh!? What the...? *realized that ALL Super Pass links were incorrect* ...I think I just died a bit on the inside.

[Treepandaone]

I didn't even concider pacifism, honestly. I'll blame it on El's excitement, she's on a bit of an adrenaline high anyway X3

I read 'scary Unown crackling Lightning at me' and did 'Offer Unown to get in the Pokeball without harm or KILL IT WITH FIRE STEEL MOVES.'

I am, afterall, more interested in helping science.

... My Unown was hiding in the shadows.

"Ah, you think darkness is your ally. You've merely adapted the dark. Unown was born in it, molded by it. Unown didn't see the light until it was a man and by then it was only blinding!"

[Balmund]

The Unown I encountered didn't really have anything on my Aerodactyl, but I still switched to Scizor to have an easier time (and to RP with him within a zone for once). Personally, it never crossed my mind to go pacifist unless I was given a very good reason to do so. While my character isn't the type to go around attacking "helpless" Pokémon, very strange occurrences are happening indeed because of the Unown, and I was given the specific task of capturing them as soon as possible, so that's what I'm doing. :P

I do intend to capture them as fast as I can to minimize harming them too much in the process.

Mt. Fumi erupts and I have the choice between running to a cave for shelter or to run down a different trail to avoid the lava. Obvious choice: Run into the cave for the obvious incoming cave-in that traps me in which forces me to find my way out through an alternate way.

[Missingno. Master]

The Unown I'm facing was crackling with electricity. I know it was pretty much just to convey the Hidden Power type to me, but still, that doesn't sound like the behavior of an Unown that doesn't want a fight. So Myrtle's gonna force-feed that little Unown O a couple of super-effective hits, and then I'll go for the Poke Ball.

In other news, Hermione's learned all her possible moves (not counting the IQ-dependent Gummi Bomb and Defensive Shield, of course) now- she just got out of the Move Tutor's with Bug Bite and Electroweb.

[Myrrh]

I attempted to throw a pokeball right away, with some sort of backup plan for when it escapes from it/dodges the ball.

[gmoyes]

Just because I'm bored and waiting to get my klink out of the daycare, I made a tally for all of the Unowns by letter and type of hidden power:

Well, seeing as it's Absol... Besides, it showed hostility towards me first, so we're just responding to it. And I'll also try to catch it. But for now, Icarus and I are just going to provoke it to attack and see how much of a fight it's going to put up.

[lilbluecorsola]

Strange, my post problems weren't a connection issue, since now I'm back on high-speed and I still can't edit/quote posts. All the HTML buttons have disappeared too. Have to type them all manually now.

I figured out a work-around by opening the link in a new window, but it's very tedious curious... This only happens on SPPf, it seems. *inb4 Talon says Serebii sucks*

[Takeo]

Lucky us you Talon doesn't have a serebii account *shot*

[lilbluecorsola]

Lucky us you Talon doesn't have a serebii account *shot*

I don't know if I could take twice the Talon anyway. XP *shot*

One thing you might want to note, Absol has a GIGANTIC movepool.

You have been warned.

[jolteonjak]

Let's see. RoA reply written up. SoS I'm going to ask you to wait another week, so I can leave my Wooper and Heracross in the Daycare for another level (so I can evolve Wooper in battle). I'll write the reply up next though. However, If I get it done today, before midnight in London, I'll probably get it posted when I get home.

As for my updatees, I'm partially through one, so I'll finish that one at home. I could work on my remaining updates during my lunch breaks this week.

EDIT: Note to self...update my Sig too.

[Dark Searchman]

Yeah, I don't know how big of a movepool this particular Absol has yet, so I'm just scouting right now. Hopefully, it's at a level where Icarus can beat it because I don't want to switch him out and make him think I don't trust him.

[jolteonjak]

Congrats on the Ferroseed LASL.

[gmoyes]

Hmmm, Ferroseed. Technically not non-biological, but still on my want list.

[Missingno. Master]

Speaking of Ferroseed, I got Pokedex 3D Pro the day it came out, and I was astonished to discover I had been mispronouncing Ferroseed and Ferrothorn the whole time! Well, I don't know if it counts as a mispronunciation, per se, but the emphasis goes on the second syllables, rather than the first like I had thought. I had also been saying Aron wrong, but I think I have the anime to blame for that one.

[MarbleZone]

I am opening 3 more updatee slots at BMG's Cascadia, so feel free to post an intro. Only 3 for the moment though, so it's first come, first serve.

[Dark Searchman]

I for one don't like the way they pronounce Ferroseed/Ferrothorn, so I just go by my way.

[lilbluecorsola]

Ohey I can edit/quote posts again. \o/ Finally fixed my Profile a bit.
