I'd believe neither are her actual name.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.@51978 I know this might not count for most people, given that most English-speakers didn't get a chance to play it until after Steven Universe aired, but Ninten of EarthBound Beginnings fits the mold even better than his successors - Ninten has no offensive powers, period, while Ness has PK Rockin' and Lucas has PK Love. Ninten is great at shielding/healing, though.
@51981 Wait, are we talking about an action pool shared by the whole team, or just action point pools? I can name several of the latter, including a couple by a well-known publisher. I do understand why the former are less common - you run into Gameplay and Story Segregation issues, which can be immersion-breaking for some people.
For Nanefua... given stuff in previous episodes, plus the clips from the trailer, if it does go to election, I think she'll win roughshod over Dewey. That said, I won't discount the possibility of the electoral version of a Non-Gameplay Elimination - I wouldn't find it totally out of left field if she dropped her candidacy for whatever reason (then, hilariously, she was still on the ballot and won anyway).
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.Granted, it makes less sense when you lose team members and keep the same AP, but people widely accept Critical Existence Failure, which is the same absurdity as applied to one individual. It even serves the same purpose, letting players retain the potential to win even as they've gotten closer to defeat, thus maintaining dramatic tension.
@52003 Re: use of "pool" - fair enough. I was thinking an action point system does get trotted out in Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy XIII, and those both have their merits and drawbacks (though I think Chrono Cross did the action point economy pretty well... then proceeded to muck up everything else about its battle system).
As for justifying an action pool... I'm not saying you can't (in fact, you can use a similar logic to how to justify any game that assigns "points" to what units you can bring into an engagement), I'm just saying that you're more likely to hit Fridge Logic issues. You honestly hit the same ones as the ones where, as you point out, characters can give each other extra turns (particularly given that action economy is probably one of the biggest throttles on Game-Breaker activities one can put into a game system - and that several breaking strategies are built around ruining it).
I imagine that the Hand Wave used will be "almost all of the player characters have magical powers," but I can predict that someone will probably complain (because it's the Internet; someone always complains). That said, I do see one way of managing it - while the team as a whole can only spend so many action points from the pool in a round, each character can only do an action once per round, with the in-game explanation being that certain actions prevent characters from acting in some way (like, other characters are said to be busy mitigating possible collateral damage or running interference such that the big attack hits).
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.I loved the way they (either Burnett or Levin; I can't recognize which voice is which) described the end of the first act of "Storm in the Room".

Yeah, that's pretty great.

Funnily enough, Google Translate says that Gunga means "dumb" in Hindi.
It also means "swing" in Swedish.
