What if the movesets aren't carried over from Fire Red?

They almost certainly will be, since Red is a trinare with custom movesets and hence you have to fill in the data with something anyway while romhacking.

In unrelated news, I just found one of the most painful examples of Conpiuous CGI I've ever seen. I guess they couldn't afford to do proper animation for a direct to DVD sequel.

I just thought up a "Fashion Sense" superpower and how it could actually be helpful.

What am I doing with my life?

I remember a while back pondering how 'translation' would actually be a really awesome superpower. Especially once you consider how meaning is dependent on context, you could basically use it for a limited form of mind reading.

I think there was an X-Man like that - his power was that he could understand and speak any language, which apparently applied to computer languages and body language, making him an expert hacker and martial artist.

Given that the power itself would have to be derived from limited telepathy the body language makes sense, but computer language is a bit more far-out-there...

He's also an expert architect because blueprints are the language of buildings or some bullshit like that. His name is Cipher, I believe.

But the thing that people seem to miss is that language doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's based on shared context between the speaker and the audience, so being a perfect translator would come with the ability to automatically understand that context. Which means you could act like an insider anywhere and instantly understand all the injokes and codes and references they use.

Not to mention that a character like that would be a Consummate Liar and Living Lie Dectector due to being able to perfectly understand and use nonverbal communication.

It could really suck though, knowing what a crowd could be talking about, from nervous gestures to whispered secrets better not known. And it would be hard to connect with people on a personal level when you know a lot about them and could potentially render trust worthless.

I think it depends how much control you have over it.

Trust would be worthless only because he wouldn't need to rely on something so nebulous and judge them based on hard truth. I'd be perfectly fine with a power like that. Contrary to what people may say, ignorance is not bliss; it just makes you a target.

If this were a pony, it could be earth with possible names of Tongue Tied or Rosetta with a series of glyphs in an infinity symbol.

I think Rosetta would be a better name.

Back to what I was saying, fashion sense could seriously be useful as a superpower depending on how it works. You know why? Because of the outfits that heroes and villains alike usually wear. They're either totally cool or rather garish, so Fashion Sense would let you know where they are, possibly even track their exact location to find/avoid them. It would be even better if you could sense exactly what the outliers are wearing.

Oh, you mean fashion sense literally. Anyway, the smart capes would just start wearing normal clothes.

What did you think I meant, the ability to be super fashionable? That's just silly.

So a fashion sense, not a fashion sense, clever.

So TPP has caught Dome 2.0. And it actually has a decent moveset for once.

Ah, yeah it's funny the ways you can take a seemingly crap and worthless super power, and make it awesome with the right work.
