Fire Type Emblem: Chapters 1/2

[a id]map_ch1 - 1.1p[/a id]

I would like to go to K1, please :)

EDIT: Also I don't want to be that guy again, but your css is broken...

^ Damn, you beat me to that spot, haha. ^^;

I will take J1, if that's okay by everyone else! :)

Reckon we should take out that Skorupi right away if it has Pin Missile!

Put me at J2. I figure I?ll go after the Pokemon along the left side due to my type advantage over them. A Salandit isn?t far from us though. Wonder if I should head that way to see if I can?t get hit by it to activate my ability. Only Pokemon that gives me pause is the Gligar and Lombre itself. Guess I?ll have to burn down the trees if we?re going to advance.

Aack, I was trying to ninja-edit those mistakes out quickly before I left. Seems you two were just a little too fast coming here. :')

I'll add everyone to the grid when I'm not on mobile!

If it has that move, then we should try and corral it to prevent it from moving towards our vulnerable Ralts. In other words, gang up on it to KO it. I can Attack it from 2 spaces away with Ember(and I don't believe Ember causes damage in a line, hence allowing others to move in front of me to attack as well). After KOing Skorupi, the Sneasel to it's left should be next due to its Typing. Alolan Rattata though is the other anti-Ralts Pokemon nearby.

Here's a plan of action:

Wailmer, Ralts and Mimikyu go after Mankey. Archen, Slakoth and Rowlett go after Patrat(with its flying ability used next round to fly over wall to get Pokeball/item and retreat following turn), Vulpix(me), Alola Vulpix and Absol on Skorupi(which should be enough to KO it with two Super Effective moves) while the rest sit in reserve and wait for the enemy's first moves.

Pretty map!
I like the plan. I will be at M3, if available~

I wanted to post "Where's the map?" after your first post, before you even post the second one with the map. That would be fast :)

Looks like we've found our team leader / strategist, haha. :D

Same here!

Just realized my Fire Spin move has no range attached to it. Does that mean I can lock down anyone from the start? *grins at obvious oversight or was it!?*

Also I figure I'd go with a bit more detail on a plan of attack. Mankey, Patrat and Skorupi should be our first three targets and we should, due to numbers, take them down before they can even move. The Sneasel to our left ought to be next so as to secure our left flank, although the Gliscor can ruin that thanks to its Flying ability. The Gumshoos is guarding that item ball so one of our Flying Pokemon ought to consider flying up the wall/ledge to go get it and retreating the following turn. I don't believe I can Attack it with Ember(if I could that's semi-OP. Speaking of which, Alolan Vulpix should have infinite use of Powder Snow), hence we might be able to take it out from afar or force it to move back.

Taking out Skorupi shouldn't be too difficult since myself(Vulpix) and Alolan Vulpix do Super Effective Damage. Figure I'd add in Absol due to its higher Critical Hit Chance. Suppose Scyther could use Leer on Patrat before Slakoth and others go in for the Physical Damage KO. I then suggested Ralts, Mimikyu and Wailmer go after Mankey due to their advantage over it but also to put them in position for the Pokemon to our North. Once we secure our flank, I'll move to the front line to battle that 2nd Sneasel and perhaps get hit by the Salandit to boost my Fire Damage.

Edit* Here's move/Attack suggestions.

Me: J2 -> G3; Use Ember on Skorupi
Glacier: Move to H5; Use Powder Snow on Skorupi
Cuddles: Move to L7(if you can make it); Use Water Gun on Alolan Rattata
Krakanos: Move to I4; Use Scratch on Patrat(Loaf at spot following turn)
Elwind: Move to J5; Use Scratch on Patrat
Rinnia: Move to N6; Use Confusion on Mankey
Black: Move to M6(give some protection to Rinnia unless Enemy can shoot diagonally); Use Hone Claws
Hit: Move to G4; Use Rock Throw on Skorupi(should knock it out if successful. Likely will take Sneasel counterattack)
Meta: Move to M7(if you can make it); Use Vacuum Wave on Alolan Rattata(be prepared for counterattack)
Windmill: Move to K7(if you can make it), Use Peck on Mankey. Tree gives some protection from counterattack
Felix: Move to I3; Use Baby-Doll Eyes in the event Patrat is still alive
Mercy: Move to K5; Use Scratch on Mankey(if still alive) or Double Team

Hmm, well, guess the best way to learn things is to try it out on the go.

Most of us can choose to go with whatever plan that one could devise for all, but do know that if things aren't going too well due to miscalculations or anything of the sort, it's always alright to retreat and take some breather. We'll adapt in managing things through a more careful approach by then.

Now, for where I'll stand, I choose to take N3. There's a reason why the bulkier ones are to take the lead, innit?

Yeah big boys(or girls) up front unless you're bold or want to fight from the get go. I added/edited in a rough draft plan in my previous post. If successful, it ought to knock out Skorupi and Mankey, with Patrat severely damaged and two Pokemon vulnerable to counterattack(wherein they can fall back or stand firm while we kick butt the following turn).

I'd like to hide from Mankey please, so I'll start at J2 and then make my actual movement to... wherever I'm needed once everyone else has gone.

J1, J2 and K1 are taken. Might I suggest K3 since if we adopt my movement plan for turn#1, you'll be attacking Patrat and hopefully safe from Mankey if it should happen to survive two Super Effective moves and a third Scratch Attack from Mimikyu.

I'd like to go onto L1 if it isn't taken.

umm, N3 doesnt have tall grass

i should be in N2, right?

Fine. K3 Start it is

I like CodeHelmet's plan, so I guess I'll follow along with it. Since I'm heading towards Skorupi to attack, I'll go to L3 to start.

Ah, whoops. Goofed up things before it even started.

But if that's the case, then N4 should be an alright choice. Not much of a reason to be further back in if there's a choice to do the intended role.

I think I'll start at L2 and see if I can maneuver from there! :D
