Hopefully, I can take part in that.

I'd rather show up when the others get closer to Route 111, unless May is doing some sort of business or something in Route 111 specifically (like she's trying to help as many people as she can in all of the routes or something).

Hmm, okay then. May would just be going through to visit Lavaridge.

I guess I can jump in. I'm a little intimidated by how fast the RP seems to go, though...

It's not as fast as it might look.

Worry not, the last three or four days the apparent speed has been, well, apparent. It's mostly two characters pingponging battle posts, and some really random stuff happening like, say, Gene (Tracer's Sandslash) just got himself a completely legal Trainer License.

Yeah. The RP's been kind of slow lately.

I'll take your word for it I guess... But you know, I really just wanted to show the people that I've already met before. My appearance was intended to be like a "OH MY GOSH! She still exists! And we know who she is! And she's still important!" Kind of thing, not a "Oh hey! I think I sort of vaguely remember seeing her before maybe possibly! I have no idea what significance she has but look, she's helping! Maybe she's a new character?"

All I've really done so far is have DS train Odette (her DW Ducklett, who is also the adopted daughter of Artemis and Mira) and Tulip (her Petilil), challenged Roxanne and won the Stone Badge, and had some appearances by some unnamed NPC, whose Pokémon who will later be part of Odette's Character Development arc.

[up] Yeah, I look forward to that. DS is hoping to finally get some closure to the whole thing between our characters.

Did we ever decide if we were doing that Disgaea Mini-Arc with the Prinnies?

I have yet to do anything in Hoenn. I intend to challenge Roxanne though.

What's the markup we use to represent Chatter posts?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

@Lopunny5Gon To format a post like this, I used something like the following: #HelpfulHints

[[quoteblock]] 
[[teal:@[=Lopunny5Gon=]]] To format a post like this, I used something like the following: #[=HelpfulHints=]\\
'''@[=Tangent128=]''' ''seconds ago''
[[/quoteblock]]

...except double backslashes at the end of the line, which my escape-fu is failing on tonight.

I have a problem.

I'm sick and tired of writing for every single one of my Pokemon. I'm going out of my way to avoid doing things with them, and I struggle endlessly with trying to cone up with a single thing for them to say, and I don't enjoy any of it. I need a fresh start.

And so, I need to get rid of my Pokemon.

The chat's come up with a few ideas (i.e. box them, Safari Zone, and PEFE, of which I only like the latter), but I'd like more opinions.

If anyone wants to adopt a 'mon, everyone but Hecate is open, and Dana HAS to be adopted, because really what else could I do that wouldn't scar her for life/get her eaten or something?

Everyone else... I don't care. They can get killed off (which I imagine wouldn't go over well), released, put on a loooooong bus, adopted, whatever. I just want them gone.

Quick way to put them in a permanent bus that can be easily unpermanented for a Long Bus Trip or ultrapermanented for Died On A Bus: sending some of Crewe's mons with a PEFE exploration team to a non-canon region. Works pretty well on a meta level.

I wish I could have Silent take a mon but I'm about to handle Sol eventually, and besides I have very strict requirements about what mons can I have to play. Then again, I guess one of my interns could handle them (since I never wrote mons for them past a Drifloon). The same is valid for Tracer's, Tagg's or Tangent's interns.

Another relatively interesting choice: Safari Zones. And another less interesting one but still integrable with current events: have them timespacelapsed into another timeline or alternate verse due to Dialga's hiccup.

Steven would take Dana in a second.

This makes me sad, but as long as the option is open for the bus to come back, I guess it's not the end of the world.

Are you at least keeping the new 'mons? And what about Nova?

Right, Steven. Duh.

Yeah, I guess they can cone back, though I doubt they will.

As for the new mons... If no one takes them, Aurelia's probably just gonna go off and Amberjack will go with her. Nova will too, unless anyone has a better idea. I guess Crewe can meet up with Corona and her new trainer, and Nova chooses to go with them.

Katie could probably take those three. They're pretty much Cayenne's only friends outside of the team, so I wouldn't want to lose them. And Wolf will take anyone who doesn't get adopted.

#4198: Nov 25th 2011 at 9:41:55 PM

Anyone you take is a help, though at this point you'll have more of my mons than your own. :P

I may end up keeping Kelly. She's a blank slate, and I've always wanted a Natu. It's a way to not completely sever from the Pokemon side of things, anyway.

I don't mind having Katie inherit Pokemon from you. It feels natural in-story, and it lets me avoid keeping Katie out of the action while her Pokemon get up to competent levels.

As for Wolf, he has plenty of his own mons, and I'm starting to get into the habit of giving them some rotating focus. The only ones I think I haven't done anything with are Max, Pigwidgeon, and Smeargle. Max and Pig are coming up probably this weekend sometime, and ignoring Smeargle has kind of become a personal joke for me. I always release him when I mention letting my Pokemon out, and I like to imagine that he gets into completely wild adventures that no one ever hears about.

Seeing as we seem to have some recurring issues regarding satisfaction with the progress of Hoenn, over at the chat, we tried discussing some possible causes of this, and things that we could do to try and fix it.

One of the things that we found was that the present TA/TM arc feels a bit like a subarc to some players, due in part to the plot currently being run more or less by a couple players.

So we tried to ask what could be done to make things easier for everyone to contribute, and one of the things that we found was that a chunk of the playerbase seems to have little/no idea as to what's supposed to be going on with TA/TM beyond their being obnoxious and terraforming.

So... Perhaps that's something that we should attempt to sort out... So that way we'd have a general direction to work towards.

Just some food for thought.
