Somebody Else [Pokémon]

Reader mode
[X] Chloe the Eevee

I was pretty split between David and Chloe, or maybe even Elliot, but then I saw that Chloe can shoot lasers. :V

Also she has more resistance to the Miasma, which is pretty good. Eevee is classic for Gary, anyway.
 
Eevee muti-master? Pick up an Eevee here, and then aim to pick another one up later? Give us multiple element access, while also only restricting ourselves to "normal."

In the Wild? Most of them.

But as far as you know, Wild Pokemon cannot be rehabilitated, and thus cannot join your party. However, most of them are still available to Pact with at certain settlements as long as you tell me you're interested in them.

  • What do the restrictions do, precisely? Increase AP? By a flat amount? By a percentage?

Depends on the Restriction.

For example, a Monster-race Restriction might increase attributes or HP. Fire-element restriction will do something with Fire moves. Gender restriction improves your abilities against the opposite gender.

You can even do shit like double-element restriction, double-race restriction, etc.

Be as creative as you want, but I can't tell you what the effects are until after the vote.

What benefits does Pokémon leveling up convey? Is it "just" their HP formula that changes, due to the (in general) size increase, or do they get free stats and/or traits from it as well?

Levelling Up doesn't increase size. Pact-able Pokemon are all adults, although unevolved due to staying in range of an Everstone pretty much forever.

Levelling Up reflects your *combat level*. It does increase HP and MP by 10% per level, to symbolise knowing how to:
1. partially evade hits and minimising damage better
2. controlling your mana expenditure better

Other than that, it improves your hit/dodge against lower-levelled opponents.

  • How do Pokémon generally get stronger? Training? Fighting battles? Fighting dangerous battles?

Attributes are improved through evolution and Pacts ONLY.
Skills are improved through training or special events.
Level is improved through fighting, but injury may cost you the ability to take actions, shorten your lifespan, or even end your life. (although that's a cruel but possible way to get rid of a member you don't want on your party, I guess. or to reset your Restrictions.)

Magnive said:
  1. Would "Pokémon with multiple evolution stages" be a valid restriction?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Yes. Again, be as creative as you want.

Worst-case scenario you end up Restricting your Domain to no qualifying Pokemon, in which case it'll be a Game Over scene, and then Oak's Classroom, and then reset the vote.

Allows for fun all around and means the only restriction is variety!

Meant to write "evolve" instead of "level up". My bad. :p

Technically, the EX-Rank Skill means one Eevee can master multiple elements so you don't need more than one.

Huh. An Eevee-only Restriction would be interesting for me to tweak.

If you want multiples of the same Pokemon you can always go back to their House and see whether if any other members want to Pact. But they might not be as skilled or prepared (physically, emotionally, etc.) as the candidates that are already representatives for their Houses.

Oh, I like that a lot better, that's a personal Pokemon rule of mine anyway.

[X] Restrict your Domain to three Pokemon at once.

Not ever, just what's on the team at a the moment.

@Magnive is everything clear now?

Also, uhh... Megas don't exist.

All Kanto and Johto PKMN exist. In the event a Baby evolution exists, that becomes the first evolution, while the first becomes the second, and so on.

But some are already "extinct" (i.e. only exist in the Wild) and others are unique (only one exists). In the former, it's pretty much impossible to Pact, as far as you know. In the latter, still possible but might be hard to convince, or impossible due to plot reasons.
 
Also, thoughts on the Pokémon:

Charmander seems to the resident mage. Cheaper fire attacks which may inflict burns, but with E-rank melee abilities. Fire attacks, of course, but also thick smoke, which could be used for battlefield control and general confusion.

Squirtle, meanwhile, is the tank. Hard Shell seems... awesome. If we spend some of Domain Attribute Points on Power, dear David should be able to tank a huge number of attacks. Loses a few points due to E-rank in both melee and elemental mastery.

Pikachu is... kinda also a mage, with slightly better stats than Charmander, but seems to have quite a bit of combo potential with other Electric types. If we're going with Elliot, I'd say that it'd make sense to go full in on Electric-types, but that would leave us with a rather narrow selection, albeit the elemental rock-paper-scissors would compliment Leaf's selection decently since quite a few of her Pokémon would probably be Grass as well.

Eevee seems rather shiny. Additional elemental masteries sounds intriguing, but utilizing that properly might well see us with a bunch of comparatively underleveled masteries, rather than having one or two strong elemental mastery on a regular Pokémon.

All in all, I see David as the best choice here. Hard Shell makes him an excellent tank, something I think would be rather more difficult to find than a damage dealer.

What about evolutions like Magnezone, Rhyperior, and such that were introduced later on?

Do we know about instances of extinct or unique Pokémon?

Gary's Thoughts:

Not everyone can be a Lance... Restricting my Domain to a smaller number of Pacts does mean that everyone will be a lot stronger. But it also means we'll have a lot less hands to accomplish tasks, if numbers is what we need instead of raw power.

For example, Lance never takes defence missions and leaves that up to his Elites, since one Dragonite alone, no matter how overpowered, can never defend a stronghold with multiple entry points.

The thought of having someone that powerful on my team is... tempting, though. And I bet it'll be more tempting when courting Pokemon to Pact with me, if they receive a significantly bigger buff from the Pact.

They exist. Although evolution conditions in-game is trickier than just "level up, hit a certain level, evolve, yay lol".

For example, an Eevee needs to pick up the relevant Mastery before being able to evolve into that particular Eeveelution.

Mm... Gary's Lore is not at a high enough Rank.

In fact, your Lore is X Rank, which is = no rank, lower than E Rank, which is why it's not on the charsheet. :)

The best answer Gary can come up with is:

Unique Pokemon..? You mean like the Legendaries? Like Lugia or Articuno or Entei?

Or do you mean like the Myths, like Arceus from the Church?

Yeah but they can't be in multiple places at once.

Dealing with multiple enemies at once can be done with AoE. But for example if you're defending a room with two doors, and the losing condition is one of the doors being entered..? You need at least 2 Pokemon for that.

Or friends who can cover your ass, I guess.
 
A maybe not-so-idle thought: would restricting ourselves to a specific Pokémon, like Lance, automatically max out our Domain bonuses, or would we be able to pile further ones on top?

Gary says:

I don't know what exactly Lance's Domain Restriction does. I know that his Dragonite is the strongest Pokemon there is, though.

But I think she grew stronger over time, even after she evolved into a Dragonite. So I'm sure that as his Domain grew stronger, they still had an effect on her.

But that makes sense, since the Restriction is... I guess it's like a multiplier effect on top of the normal Pact bonuses.

Hey, I was too busy training to become a Trainer (lol) to study weird things, okay!?

Why don't you ask Gramps or Big Sis if you're that curious about it?

Can Eeve simply NOT evolve into an element we already have? Or will that Eeve risk going Wild?
Click to expand...

Yes. :V

As in the former. Kinda works like an Everstone.

Also, in the case you have a Pokemon that evolves into a multi-type or changes their type upon evolution, like Charmeleon -> Charizard, they will also be locked out of evolution if you already have a Pact with a Flying-type Pokemon.

However, if the Flying-type Pokemon dies or loses their Flying-type, the Charmeleon can now evolve into a Charizard.

Does that clear up all your confusion?
