Killing_You

Sunny D(ay)!

I'm not sure. Sending in someone who's already down a Pokemon doesn't feel right to me, especially since I've got a max level Sunflora with a pretty much ideal move set. Jeod, what level is your Jolteon?

Eh, fair point. I'm mostly wondering if he feels prepared to venture into the unknown again.

Jeod, what Pokemon do you have primaried?

Well, aside from my Sunflora, I've also got a Squirtle, Delibird, Phanpy, Teddiursa, and a Grimer

I will be around for hammer today, by the way. At least, I hope, barring being called in yet again.

Well, fair enough. ##trainer KY

Any particular reason you want to send me? I'll do it, I'm just curious as to your reasoning.

I can get behind this. ##nominate Jeod ##rocket Route 30

Aggh... I feel like I'm going crazy. Shade brought up balance several times, which is usually a dead giveaway for Town Shade, but literally everything else is pulling in the opposite direction. Is anyone else feeling this? Negatory.

In all fairness, it helps Town prepare for Scum as well, for basically the same reason. And, of course, Town can use it to check for liars (like in this situation).

Please explain your reasoning. It's equally useful for both sides, and for much of the same reasons.

I legitimately did, though. I don't think I've ever actually used Solar Beam in my life.

Yeah, well...

SOLAR BEAM!

Well, sorry guys. I just got called in to work AGAIN, so I won't be around to battle for about 4-5 hours.

So, dark-types, then? I tend to main Fire and Fighting types, so Ghost-types give me a lot of trouble. And, I will never forget the Curse incident. Let me go into more detail about that, actually. The game is Pokemon Diamond, the only non-Gen 3 Pokemon game that I've actually played. I can't remember my whole team, but I know that it was before I started keeping Kadabra as a team regular. I knew that I had Machop as my primary because I was trying to level him up. And at this point in time, I didn't really know much about Ghost-types, and especially what can and can't affect them. So, yeah, bear in mind that my decision making was pretty poor at first. Anyway, so I'm running around the town with the Pokemon day care (I forget the name), and I see some old, ruined tower thing. I'm like, "oh, neat, there should be some cool stuff in there." So, I walk in, and I'm greeted by a Ghastly. So, me being me at the time, I open with Karate Chop. Does diddly squat. Ghastly counters with Mean Look. I tried to run away, only find out that Mean Look prevented me from doing so. Ghastly used Curse, and for the next five minutes I'm stuck watching my Machop's health dwindle away as I helplessly try to bust this f**er. Sadly, I only manage anywhere between basically nothing and literally nothing. Then my Machop dies, and I send in Monferno. At this point, I just want this thing dead. I didn't even want to try capturing it. Flame Wheel until it died. And that, Charlie Brown, is how I came to despise Ghost types!

Probably for the best. I'm close to going on a rant about Ghost-types being the bane of my existence, but I don't want to distract us from the task at hand.

Quick Sidenote: This move is pure evil. Basically, it does a little bit of damage to the caster, and then the target takes damage every turn for the rest of the match. Combined with Mean Look (which keeps the target from leaving, whether by running or swap out), this can be a real pain in the ass. I had to comment because a friggin' Ghastly used those two on my Machop once, and I basically had to wait for him to die because I couldn't do anything else. It's gone down as my most hated Pokemon moment ever. Petty? Sure. I don't care, though, I was mad. Alright, back to the game.

Oh heck, I gotta vote today. ##trainer KY ##rocket Route34

Agh... this is quite the conundrum. The only one who's had any active resistance to progressing the game is Shade, and I've already stated why I don't think he's scum. I'm not exactly sure what to look for in these kinds of setups apart from that.

I'm kind of caught up. I'll have to reread the battles, but other than that I've got kind of the gist of it. Brigitte's still my only real solid read.

Tis a level 40 Sunflora.

I do have a grass-type as my primary. I suppose that could work against a Psyduck.

You are quite a fisherman, which is going to get pushback no matter what. :shrug: I'll let others speak on the subject, however. I'm still trying to get a solid read on everyone else.
