Ray! How you doing?

A PokeGangster :D

So, I was wondering for my SU, you could help me create the history part :)? I already completed Pierce's personality so it should be easier to do so.

Found it...and it closed out of the editing window anyways. At least I can recall some of the details from memory.

Anyway, emulating. I haven't really thought about trying any of the ROMs on PC, but I'm guessing that it's pretty much the same thing as getting ROMs to play from other sites.

Aaaghhh! I had Roscoe's personality nearly done, then I go and close out of the window when I meant to do something else! (And a new tab opens to some searchbrowsing thing instead of the new tab page where I can reopen the page.)

*sigh* Sorry about the above brief rant. Do you use Google Chrome?

Personally, I never got into the idea of that sort of thing for Pokemon games. Um, to clarify, hacking is to do with games that already exist, right? Not sure off the top of my head what making a fan-made game is called. Emulating?

Hm, okay. The idea is that Roscoe has a Leech Seed attached to himself (probably permanently) that would act as a reservoir of sorts for any excess drained energy, which would give him a reason to drain, or 'leech', other Pokemon more often. The stored energy could then be used either over time to heal Roscoe, or perhaps even take the place of real food for a time if necessary.

I have some reasoning behind how and why this would work. The energy/health that a normal Leech Seed drains in battle goes, more or less, through the seed and its vines in order to get to the recipient. Roscoe would basically be directing his drained energy through that same pathway, except it ends with the seed itself, and be able to reverse it.

Going by the games, a Grass-type Pokemon wouldn't be affected by Leech Seed. Since we're in a roleplay setting, it could be expanded a little, I think, to say that a Grass Pokemon could even manipulate a Leech seed a little in the manner I described. It wouldn't work with other types/elements, and I'd say that implementing such a thing is more likely to fail than to succeed.

...I realize that I pretty much branched away from items.

Yep. Why else would we be here on PC? ...Well, at least for me, it's the games, but I don't know about everyone else.

As it turns out, I've come up with something that isn't necessarily an item. Would you like to hear it now, or wait until I've finished my SU?

Thanks, I'll be sure to ask if i need help!

Maybe. Just need to figure out things along the way. I think I've been influenced by the bit of D&D that I've played.

Now, see, the overpowered thing is often what I worry about when making an SU. Anyway, hm...I'm kinda sure an item that turned all moves into hp-stealing moves wouldn't work... Now that you suggested it, I might come up with something.

I've had ideas along the way, some of which have altered the six characters I mentioned. I do wonder, though, if maybe I should just drop them completely and develop the world first, as you said. Have you made any non-Pokemon worlds lately?

Okay, Shell Bell at the ready. Noticing theme of recovering here...

Might be strange to say so, but I'd probably want to finish a story first before trying GMing. Though for all I know, I might change my mind sometime in the future.

Oh. Some interesting things have been happening, including at least one or two twists.

Okay, I've been meaning to ask for the past few posts or so. Would there be 'held items' with their effects in this roleplay?
...I feel like I'm subconsciously trying to push the boundaries or something...

I'm not sure which one it would be for me, though I could try it that way. For the GMing... Maybe I don't feel that I can leave enough in for roleplayers to work with, but leave enough out to keep it interesting. I don't know, I don't think I've ever finished a story for anyone to read before.

I'm not sure, actually. I have one in mind, because of the supposed eye-color if nothing else. You've been following the roleplay?

It's more of a fic/original story than a RP. I actually started a NaNoWriMo novel once with the halfling twins and human-at-the-time. It would probably be a while yet before I try GMing a RP.

Um... >> Yeah, sure. Knew it all along. (Not really.)

Not at first. If I remember correctly, the human and first halfling were two of my first ever roleplay characters, for a medieval/fantasy setting. So was the shadoki, but in an earlier and different version of what I have now. The other two halflings were also kinda early characters, but not quite as early. I think the sixth character was the first one that I really made for my own world.

So, at the moment, I have all six set up for a world that belongs to me, but with elements from other places. I haven't done much to fill it out, but the idea at the moment is a medieval setting with some fantasy.

Oh. Okay, that's out my window. I still wonder, though, exactly who or what the Dark One is.

Well, they're in a medieval/kinda-fantasy setting, non-Pokemon. The way I have them right now, there's a human, a halfling, a shadoki (a race that I still need to work on), a human/half-elf/not sure, and halfling twins. They all came to be either by themselves or in some sort of combination of two or three. Personally, I think that if I do flesh out the world they're in, I need to make sure it isn't too close to being D&D or something.

Oh, really? I'd had the thought that the Dark One might be-- Wait. Not sure how much of my speculation I can reveal if it would mean spoiling it for someone who reads through this.

I'll be sure to do that if something else comes up.

I think I at least kinda get it. I have six characters in some other world, all of which are main characters in their own right. I just haven't gotten around to writing out that whole story.

By the way, you talked a bit to another person about an Odyssey prequel. Is this roleplay the prequel?

Seriously? Now I'm gonna have to go find another Pokemon. xD Not really, I'll stick with Roscoe. Thanks for the answer, I'll write the tutoring into his history.

One of your main characters? I'd be real surprised if he was the one of the Fire Mastery.

Yes, yes I did. Need to be careful that I don't join too many roleplays.

About that, though. It seems that tutor moves may be okay, but I didn't know for sure if TM-only moves, like SolarBeam for a Sceptile, were completely off-limits, or if there would be a limited way in learning one.

I need halp D:. Shud I be a Typhlosion or Gengar??

OMG LOL. Now it makes so much sense and it's so badass lmao.
