Lesson 005 (Video/Action): Shopping for attacks.

Jan 08, 2011 00:12

[We open on a particularly adorable sight: a sleepy-looking Vulpix curled up around a bicolored egg (those of you who got the same one may recognize it as a Riolu egg). The camera jostles a bit, then pans around the interior of the Goldenrod Department Store, where Sakaki is standing in front of the counter looking at... CDs? After a few seconds, ( Read more... )

!ic posts, akira-chan is still pretty derpy, kit-chan is the fuzziest, #video (killed the radio star), #action (adventure)

I've never really bought any TM's to use myself, but... If you can teach a move that is out of the usual range for a Pokemon, it'll be a big advantage in a battle.

Hmm... So, something that would be unexpected? That makes sense.

[A bit of a subject change...] Have you challenged the Goldenrod Gym? Since I ended up here... I may try for that badge before I go back.

Re: [video] combat_butler January 8 2011, 06:22:43 UTC

Mm, that's the best bet.

Aaa, the gym, huh... Yeah, I was the first person in my group to take it on. Seems like a long time ago, now... The focus there is normal types, so fighting moves will be a big help! Though more importantly, having a female team is vital.

.... also, be ready to deal with Whitney-san crying.

Normal-type... I see. We'll have to rely on our strength, then. Unless there is a Fighting-type TM for sale here. [She starts looking over what's on sale again.]

A female team? I do have more girls than boys with me, but why is that important? And... crying?

I think it depends on the Pokemon.

[video] catbitesgirl January 8 2011, 07:41:07 UTC

Mm, you're probably right. I should start with Maru-chan, since he is my lead... [She picks up a TM.] Perhaps "Dig"? I don't believe any of my partners know any Ground-type moves already...

[video] bakaitoukid January 8 2011, 07:48:35 UTC

Then that sounds like a good place to start!

[video] catbitesgirl January 11 2011, 02:27:16 UTC

[nods] Mm. What do you think, Maru-chan?

[Maru eyes the TM thoughtfully, then flicks his tail as if to say "Eh, it's okay."]

Lapse in time?

[Voice] catbitesgirl January 11 2011, 02:28:04 UTC

Mm. I went from December 4th to today, without... being conscious of the time passing.

[Voice] captain_pantsu January 12 2011, 20:07:23 UTC

Eh? Really?

[Voice] catbitesgirl January 13 2011, 05:25:38 UTC

[She nods, before remembering that this conversation is set to voice only.] Y-Yes. I can't explain it, except to say that it's another of the strange circumstances common here in Johto.

Try to look for attacks of a type you do not already have. However, direct attack tend to be more expensive. Do you tend to use status ailments and other special effects in battle, or do you favor direct attacks?

[video] catbitesgirl January 11 2011, 02:32:26 UTC

That's good advice. Thank you. [ponders the question for a moment] ...We mostly attack directly, but we do like to ready status ailments early on in longer battles.

[video] puppet_paladin January 11 2011, 02:35:08 UTC

You could try Toxic. It's stronger than the normal poison effect, from what I can tell. Then again, it wouldn't help against Poison- and Steel-types...

[video] catbitesgirl January 12 2011, 04:37:18 UTC

Really? That sounds very handy. And I don't believe Steel-types are common, are they? [She reaches over to page through the TMs for Toxic.]

You traveled through time again!?

[Video] catbitesgirl January 11 2011, 02:36:26 UTC

Ah... it looks like it. Last I knew, it was over a month ago.

[Video] wakalaka4osaka January 11 2011, 03:44:57 UTC

Man, you had me worried for a while.

I thought you'd been airlifted out by a balloon or somethin'.

[Video] catbitesgirl January 12 2011, 04:43:03 UTC

Ah, I'm sorry I worried you. Hopefully it won't happen again.

Are you still in Violet City? And speaking of balloons, how has your Drifloon been?
