Heck, she could even throw on something sidebar like "no repeat typesets" (the idea being that she can only have one full poison, and one of each poison/X pairing). It would be somewhat more restrictive, but not in a way that would cripple her - effectively letting her draw a few more buffs out of more or less the same strategy. It wouldn't give her much of a boost, but a bit of a boost is still a bit of a boost.
Nidoqueen: poison/ground
Crobat: poison/flying
Bulbasaur: poison/grass
Tentacrual: poison/water
Gengar: poison/ghost
Muk, Weezing, or Arbok for the pure poison
Beedrill or Venemoth for the Poison/Bug
There are actually a decent number of grass/poison options, but Bulbasaur doesn't need the help.
Good idea.
Consider it included in the next update.
how soon could each of us afford to hire a mercenary for the party? A few extra Pokemon sooner could be useful, especially with an eye to having an established relationship when a new pact opens. Do we need to reserve cash for health care costs?
Healthcare in settlements is free. Yay. You can also stay at any League barracks that's usually annexed to every Guild Hall, if you don't want to pay for accommodation. You also get rations, but no one really enjoys eating them.
You can increase your Trainer Rank to get more free supplies.
Additional expenditure (medicines, tools, TMs (which function as one-time-use Magic Scrolls usable by both you and any Pokemon), food, entertainment, etc.)
At your current pay grade, you earn P 5,000 per week, and your Pacted Pokemon each earn P 2,500 per week, in addition to mission rewards and whatever you sell from your spoils. You don't need to pay tax on your salary and mission rewards, but you do pay tax on your spoils. Salary for you AND your Pokemon will go up as you raise your Trainer Rank. You *are* expected to Tithe to the Church every once in a while, but the frequency and nominals are for you to decide.
Mission rewards are paid to you, but you may distribute them to your party at your discretion. Low Rank Missions typically have negligible rewards, but as they say, even a mosquito is still meat, right?
And it really depends what sort of mercenary you're looking for. For some missions, the League may even assign you free soldiers under your command. Your Pokemon may hire mercenaries of their own, but it's rare, although not unheard of.
If it's per-mission then it depends on the mission. Long-term contracts (shortened to LTC from here onwards) are more negotiable per Pokemon.
P 2,000 per week can be found but that's cheap and they're usually not very skilled.
P 3,000 per week is standard for a decently skilled mercenary.
There's no real upper range, but there have been mercenaries who were paid P 10,000 per week in addition to a cut from all your additional earnings.
*very very lost in discussion*
@Sirrocco What would you say be your ideal pokemon team for Gary to complement Leaf's?
also another question for QM
@wdango
Are the EX skills unique to each Pokemons or are there other Pokemons that share that particular EX skin, or something similar to that effect? (like say Squirrel has Hard Shell, but another pokemon has something similar if not the same)
there are Pokemon that share same or similar EX Skills.
and pray QM starts another quest at some point.
Be careful what you wish for, lest the
wvirus strikes again.
