As long as we get to spend all of our money on souvenirs and stuff for our family if/when we get to tour the city I'll be happy/j

I'd not - our community collected that money for us to succeed in the big city, not for us to get stuff for them. If we want to make our family happy, we want to come home able to help our community, not with presents.

I just remembered that there was an incredibly incompetent principal of the Scarlet/Violet academy that preceded Clavell. That's probably Henry Ayala here, although as he's a blank slate besides "bad at his job", I don't know if that means anything.
In the saga of things only I care about: found him

tbh I don't think I'm gonna remember this guy exists later either.

  • [X] Plan Establishing One's Self
    -[X] The World in a City (1/10): Mesagoza is huge. Obscenely so. It's so massive and sprawling that you could spend days traveling through every inch of it and still miss some nooks and crannies. But you're going to be spending the better part of three years in this city. Maybe even more in the future. Better get wandering. -1 AP (2 Times)
    -[X] To Train Them is Your Cause: While live battle is useful in sharpening moves, nothing beats good old practice. Experimentation, Building Muscle Memory or just plain old Mastery. At this stage early on it's still safe to use the Training Fields of the Academy. But as you get stronger you'll have to look for more isolated places. You can't let people find out what you're cooking after. That and something about collateral damage from moves getting worse. -1 AP
    -[X] Ostia and Argy: They seem to be doing better now than when you last saw them during your first day together. They're inviting you to go out and eat with them in Mesagoza. They seem really enthusiastic about all the restaurants and eateries in the city. Their treat of course. Next to them Argy stares at you like they always do. Improve Bond with Ostia and Argy. 0/3 to Bond 2
    -[X] Erika: She has cordially invited you to join her in perusing the older sections of the Academy's libraries with her. She seems interested in myths, histories and legends from around the period of the Paldean Dark Ages. She even managed to find a couple manuscripts written in Old Andosin. Any reason to practice your Andosin is a good reason in your eyes. Improve Bond with Erika. 0/3 to Bond 2

    [X] Plan Highlander Entrance(Alternatively, Redheaded Barbarian Part II)
    -[X] You Can't Run from a Trainer Battle: The battling Arenas at Rodrigo Hall are both numerous and massive. Since it's still early in the school year, the gap between the various students in the same year isn't quite big yet. Get your and your Pokemon's blood pumping with a good battle. -1 AP
    -[X] You Can't Run from a Battle Between Trainers: Apparently the school has a dueling arena. Not for Pokemon but for Humans. Where the students can pick up wooden spears and sticks to beat each other over with. You might be simplifying things but it'll be a way to keep yourself fit and sharp. -1 AP
    -[X] Advanced BATTLE: A Pokemon Journey is a multi year long process. Most Trainers get one badge and then struggle for years getting a second. Half of all Paldean Trainers quit around the third Gym. Only a tenth make it to the seventh Gym. There are no shortages of Trainers with only one Badge hanging around in Mesagoza. Many of them go to Battle Arenas in Mesagoza proper to prepare themselves for the League Circuit opening up in August. You can challenge them, you're absolutely going to lose but there's no better way to reveal your weakness than having them ruthlessly exploited. -1 AP

Oh good, I love Mela. Discovering a Pokémon den is also more or less exactly what we wanted out of rolling twice (that and the unlocking of employment opportunities) so I guess I won't complain too much about our lack of stat grinding.

Dilapidated Apartments...pest-coded commons I guess? Maybe another Ghost-type on a good roll.

D20 system very forgiving.

Linear dice curves very extreme, more like. We'd have the same odds of consistently rolling 65+ on a d100.
