[X] Plan: Charm Offensive

Luna's a pretty name, it suits Espurr and is personally significant to her. I like it. (plus Sailor Moon reference)

Sure I'll change my vote, I like charm.
 
SKLLbros, not like this... don't let the CHRMbros win...

Anyways, pick my plan if you want to go down another step towards being able to beat our first badge. Getting 500/600/700 SKLL exp would get us fairly close getting to 13 SKLL, which combined with getting a third pokemon and/or Badge 2 level Roland, would mean I'd be fairly satisfied with our odds of getting a gym badge.

"…Look, I know Rangers are starting to become decrepit everywhere outside of Fede but this is ridiculous. I've been calling for over a week now! Anyways, my request is that you find and deliver a number of Wild Berries found in the outskirts of Mesagoza. The ones in the stores don't have the kick I need for my purposes. Also some Oran Berries, these ones can be store bought. They're for a friend anyhow. Deliver them to the Academy Town if you know where that is."

So I assume this is some kind of Witchcraft or something. But what would Mariana guess at her friend needing berries with "kick" for "purposes"?

Erika, are you a moonshiner? You gotta tell us if you're a moonshiner so we can help you hide your hooch from Leaf.

(I know nothing about alcohol, berries, or the usage of the latter to make the former.)

It's so difficult to choose between the stats. Do we become better at fighting and defeating gyms, dangerous wild Pokémon and villains. Or do we get better at unintentionally rizzing Erika?

Two equally important goals.

Both plans have 300 SKILL XP guaranteed, the Skill focused plan just has the potential for an extra 200/300/400.

Considering the relative dearth of options for increasing Charm I'd rather go for the option which gives a chance of double the equivalent amount of XP (400/600/800), especially since Community's DC is lower.

Whoah whoah whoah, let's not say things we can't take back here: obviously unintentionally coming on to Ericka and triggering constant gay panic is much more important here :V

While this is true, you have to think long term. If we can't beat the villains, their evil plan will succeed and the world as we know it will come to an end. Which will spell an end to Erika's gay panic.

Combat ability is paramount to truly dragging out Erika's ordeal.

I see your point, but consider the following: surely at some point Erika will have to either shit or get off the pot and actually confess to Mariana, the time for Erika's gay panicking is limited and likely shorter than the length of the villain's plot, so if we want to maximise gay panic we need to pump CHRM now and damn the universe!

Joke Answer: It'll be after Erika and Mariana move in together as friends, share a friendship bed and get matching friendship rings while taking care together of the various pokemon and other blorbos (Ostia) they picked up along the way.

But what about chasing the Sun in a totally platonic way? We need to battle for that.

That way lies eventually catching the Sun though. Those are dangerous waters to tread!
 
[X] Plan: Charm Offensive

While I might regret this later if we come up just short if we attempt to take on a gym leader next week during the FE, I think I agree with nabbing the CHRM exp here, since I think we'll be more likely to raise SKLL through other means.

I have no strong opinions on birthdays, even if this does make me think of the events of Oct. 4th from Persona 3 - if you know, you know.

No strong feelings about the name, except for it not being Sabrina. I know it's a neat reference to Kanto, but I'm super close to someone irl with that name so it'd be weird if Espurr ended up named that. Tio also makes me think of 'uncle', so I'm kinda meh on it as a name, especially for our female Espurr.

Huh. Thought this was just a 'Dragon being chuuni' thing, when the Dodrio told Roland not to call him by a weird name, but apparently names like this seem to be commonplace for wild Pokemon? Or at least, it's some kinda truenaming thing completely separate from Nicknames.

Edit: I wonder if Roland not having a Name yet is something that'll resolve itself, or if it's something we'll have to get involved with ourselves eventually...

Frankly, Luna is a bit of a common name at this point, what with it being part of Lunatone, Lunala, Ursaluna, and if we're going by meaning Selene Mizuki (you know, 'Moon Moon')

To be fair, the meaning, as well as the name being cute, is the entire reason I selected it in the first place. Common names can be perfectly good names too (that's kinda why they're common) and you're mostly comparing names to species here, but whether or not it's selected, it is what it is.
