OrangeP47 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Posted February 23, 2019 I mean, let's take this ROM I'm playing right now. My team got its ass handed to it by Falkner despite being leveled past him by 5. It's possible. 1 Quote
Jeod Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 I don't think Shade realizes that this change is actually very good for him, since none of us think he's town. 0 Quote

OrangeP47 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Posted February 23, 2019 Also if I vanish for awhile, other than for stated reasons (such as making dinner before I resolve any battles), it's probably because my power went out. Thunderstorms starting and looking to last awhile. 0 Quote

Sunflower Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 I guess the way the game is right now where we're limited in who can actually battle who is kinda lame. And it will get worse when we get to double battles. So maybe the change would help. I think the change does kinda eliminate some of the trade-offs in which pokemon you pick to level tho. Some pokemon take more effort to train than others. There's some pokemon who are good no matter what level they are and others that are pretty weak until they evolve. Training up an aerodactyl and then dropping your points into Caterpie almost feels like cheating. 0 Quote
OrangeP47 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Posted February 23, 2019 Some power company guy was supposed to stop by last week and install a "smart meter " too, but never showed up. I really hate turning my computer off, but it seems that I'm going to have to sometime soon :P 0 Quote
Jeod Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 Well, if the rule changes goes into effect before hammer and I can get my primary to 20, I guess I don't mind battling. 0 Quote

Jeod Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 So you don't want me to risk being one step closer to being out of the game? Make up your mind, Rocket scum. 0 Quote

TheIrishman Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 I'm for the change as well. Although it doesn't really improve the ability to evolve, it certainly makes your other pokemon more viable. I mean, to get all your pokemon to lv 50 as is would take 24 nights. Obviously the game would probably be over by then (and I'm not saying we should have all six at 50). Personally I still prefer the ability to train multiple at once, even if we cap it at 2 or 3 in case someone wins and try to train 4 at a time. 0 Quote
OrangeP47 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Posted February 23, 2019 More inspiration: Just accidentally beat my rival despite being underleveled. To be fair, his Bayleaf was particularly stupid with move choice. 0 Quote
TheIrishman Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 What's the bonus for being Rocket again? A bit odd that Retaliation offered himself up to battle but put himself into Rocket. Anyway... ##Trainer Irish 0 Quote
OrangeP47 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Posted February 23, 2019 The bonus for rocket is that I'm less strict on them in regards to scheduling/considerations of that sort. I think, given the past few days activity, you'll likely not have much trouble being on at the same time though, if it ends up this way.

I get no response before I go to bed. 5 hours ago, Jeod said: But Retaliation completely ignored you. "Sunflower or bust" for him. So yeah "ignored". If I have to fight someone who isn't interested in fighting I'd rather fight the one who won't delay the game by half a day. In hindsight we should have just allowed the fight between me and shade day 1. The differences in levels are a lot more harsh than I anticipated. 0 Quote
TheIrishman Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 We're both lv 10, Retal, it should be fine. And yeah, the fight would have to be delayed until at least 6 to 7 hours after hammer. 0 Quote

TheIrishman Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 A little odd considering more of the population is in the East or West coast. Maybe because we're all bored in the Midwest and have nothing better to do than play Mafia :b 0 Quote
OrangeP47 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Posted February 23, 2019 About 1 hour until hammer. I'd still like to hear from those that didn't express their opinion, but I'll tentatively apply the 1/2 levels transfer rule, but only after hammer, so as to not affect this day. Therefore, I'll just give Jeod his 5 levels during the night phase. 0 Quote
Category5 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 My primary is a 20 today. It's pretty crap. I think lvl 10s would have a pretty decent chance of beating it. 0 Quote
