Well on the dotted line signing away your eternal soul.

Or I'll just keep a list of all those interested.

What soul?

Well anyways. Anyone else feel like getting trapped in a old animation studio that's become a Eldritch Location?

already go to enough of those

This sounds fun, and I would be up for something cool hapenibg the week of Halloween again.

So a while back, I had the idea of creating a document to develop WAAPT-exclusive moves, abilities, and techniques through. And I've taken the liberty to create that exact document! It's already got two entries on it, although one of them is the previously-suggested Aftershock, with the second suggested option for its effect. However, I'd like to bring the other entry to the table again directly, after putting it aside for over five years. So, allow me to reintroduce...

AVENGER

• When the Pokemon is sent out onto the field, its ATK increases based on the difference of fainted Pokemon on each team.
  • (ex.) If one Pokemon on the opponent's team has already fainted, while four on the user's team have fainted, the user would get a +3 ATK boost
  • In a Double, Triple, or SOS battle, each ally that faints while the user is on the field gives another +1 ATK boost.
• Each direct KO the Pokemon gets results in a one-stage ATK drop until both teams are even.
• If less Pokemon have fainted on the user's team than on the opponent's, there is no stat change.
• If the user Mega-Evolves, the ATK boost is undone. ATK boosts not related to the ability will remain.
• If a Pokemon has a Revive used on it on either team mid-battle, the ATK boost will adjust itself accordingly.

Possible recipients (through similar circumstances as Hidden Abilities)

• Marowak (either Kanto-form only or both forms)
• Growlithe-line
• Poochyena-line
• Absol
• Riolu-line
• Gallade
• Pawniard-line
• Rufflet-line
• Hawlucha
• Passimian

Example scenario:

In a climactic battle against Lord Doomlord, Hero Nobleson struggles to pose a threat! Lord Doomlord's fearsome Hydreigon managed to eliminate three of Hero's team members before finally being defeated by Hero's Milotic, and Doomlord's Magnezone finishes what the Hydreigon started — leaving young Mr. Nobleson at a 5-to-2 disadvantage! However, he knows his trusty Lucario, whose ability is Avenger, will be inspired by his fallen allies and take the boost the team needs to even the odds! Hero sends out the Lucario, and through the power of justice, gains a surge of power and defeats the Magnezone, as well as the next two members of Doomlord's team! Each knockout wears Hero's Lucario out a bit more, and gradually the power boost subsides, but now Hero and his Lucario are confident in the strength of their final ally to finish off Lord Doomlord once and for all!

Of course, I won't be too bugged if we decide "still not feeling it", I'm just putting this in here because I don't have any particular reason not to :P

EDIT: Reworded slightly to make it clear that it's based on fainted allies, and unaffected by the starting makeup of each team

Hm, I'm not familiar with this thing, so could you quickly explain to me how that plot would go please~? It seems interesting anyway though as I'm also quite the sucker for Halloween :P

And Re: Avenger: Huh, seems like quite the ability, I like it~

You get trapped in a old animation studio running from monsters.

More details to come later.

Sure, sign me up~

>Lord Doomlord

But I like the ability.

I'd like to join the animation studio plot.

That's 3! Possibly 4! Had some people wanna join on the discord! Now Five.

EDIT: Time for a new character. One for Team Mobius

• Species: Porygon 2
• Nickname: Mecha or Meka.
• Gender: Genderless, Prefers Male Pronouns
• Ability: Download
• Personality/Bio: Meka is a straightforward follower of Team Mobius and Dr. Unyverse, preferring to see himself as a enforcer of sorts. The Team Mobius scientists were asked to construct a robot body so that Meka could properly enforce the will of Team Mobius in a more physical sense. Out of a sense of odd admiration for Metal, the body was constructed to look somewhat like a Alolan Sandslash.

Robot Body.◊ Not seen are the Motorized Heel Wheels used for quick movement, body is modifiable for easy swapping out job needs.

Ah, so Bitter's post about WAAPT-exclusive moves and abilities reminded me of Paula's Porygon-2 with Neutralize, which gave me an idea...

What if we had Porygons with secondary types?

Like they get custom bodies (á la the PEFEgons, Aismov Porygons, and Gabrielle's Porygon), but it gives them a secondary type.

...

Nevermind, those would just be Delta Porygons (albeit artifically designed).

edited 1st Oct '17 7:22:28 PM by SwiftSeraph

Yeah, other-type Porygon-line members would be pretty easy to justify as Delta Pokemon, or like in Big Data's case, an experimental Porygon modification. :P

PORYGONS FOR DAYS

Silence: Hmmm, intriguing, but Metal would probably be a bit weirded out. :P

Metal: <...Poser.>

edited 1st Oct '17 8:01:18 PM by Umbramatic

I can accept that. Metal vs Meka would be fun.

His name is Meka.

His name is Meka.

Meka, Carl.

edited 1st Oct '17 8:44:36 PM by SwiftSeraph

Mecha or Meka. The second spelling is for clarification. And it's a him in this case.

Whoops, editing.

The point still stands. Nevermind, I just can't read.

edited 1st Oct '17 8:44:18 PM by SwiftSeraph

I don't even get the point honestly.

There isn't one.

I misread something.

Silent D!Post re: Simpler Than Magic

Of course, I'm in full support of it being a WAAPT-canon story, since it involves Spectrum :P

Also, anyone else have any opinions on Avenger? (Or Aftershock, for that matter.)

edited 3rd Oct '17 9:52:24 PM by BittersweetNSour

I'm fine with the existence of both Aftershock and Avenger.

Ditto Uill; also I'm fine with STM being canon.
