Most of us are in Violet, just hanging around, thought we're moving to Lavender for something soon. You can show up in Violet now and get sucked into the Lavender trip and resulting events.

EDIT: Aaand you're already in Ecruteak. Don't worry, we can get you involved with the main group somehow. :P

Contact Me!So I'm probably not gonna be very active until sometime next week, so I thought I might as well explain why.
As most of you are probably aware, a hurricane hit NJ (where I happen to love) last... Sunday or Monday or some day of the week in the past. Anyway, it knocked out our power (and our beautiful blue spruce! D:) and... It's still out.
Fortunately, we're all fine, and we've migrated up to the town by my older brother's college, where we were gonna go this weekend anyway, where there is power (and, most importantly, glorious heating!).
Unfortunately, there are six of us, no TV, and only the two iPads between us (my 3DS was confiscated a few days ago, I haven't found it yet). So... I'm probably not gonna actually post until next week or so, when we have power back and are back home.
On the bright side, I haven school till Thursday! Whooo!
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!-Hugs Crewe- Sorry to hear that... -sheds a manly tear in honor of the lost spruce-
Anyway, now for something I wanted to ask. I thought I asked this a couple weeks ago, but apparently I forgot to...
Anyway, I had the idea of Staraptor!Diane's Ability being Hero. You know, the Conquest ability?
For those of you who don't know:
Now, this seems to be one of the few Conquest abilities which can easily be transferred into WAAPT mechanics. Triple Battles and Multi Mon Melees, specifically.
Now, I just want to see if anyone objects or has suggestions for the idea.

Going to vote no, at least as an actual ability.
I'm perfectly fine with an implication that Diane gets a boost in her will to fight once the number of mons on her side has been reduced compared to the opponent. However, outright using a Conquest ability opens up unfortunate channels, since not only do only certain Pokemon get Conquest abilities, even fewer have Conquest abilities that can be fairly translated to WAAPT.
So...my vote is to treat it similarly to TCG abilities are treated, as a technique and not a true ability.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.It's a matter of style. Mult-mon melees are chaotic and usually quite frantic. Conquest-style is very measured and ceremonial.
As for an out-of-universe reason...it's so that everyone could have their Conquest Ability. Learning about the new (old) style of battle would let us re-teach our Pokemon their ancestral abilities that they can use in the traditional style.
Speaking of Abilities and Conquest...
Which Ability do you all think will fit White!Arcanine!Ammy best? Arcanine's main series Abilities are Intimidate, Flash Fire bitches, and Justified. Flash Fire fits a solar deity, Justified fits Okami!Ammy's nature as a Force Of Good (tm) and Intimidate might allow closer hewing to Okami itself. So... I'm gonna need some help choosing, as they're all good options.
