The Secret Time Out Files Part 1: The Slowpoke years

[Gemini Spark]

Pokemart: This candy puts me almost at 40, then after trades yet to be sorted out I should be down to 30 candies.

Daycare: Leila (Weavile) learned Snatch with her stay, and Nissa (Treecko) and Ammon (Axew) are now going to be in the Daycare for three levels.

Training Center: Henrietta (Froakie) has finally learned all her HMs, so unless I get a new Pokemon today I won't be dropping anyone off this week.

Move Tutor: Amethyst (Seviper) is now done with relearning moves and has Venom Drench and Crunch in addition to learning Belch automatically from the Gen 6 moveset. Next up on my relearning list is Delilah (Lanturn), who will be learning Signal Beam this week!

Thanks for the tips Stark, those are nice and could do with some extra visibility for those struggling with their RPing who don't check the the TO often

I decided to take this a step further and started a thread on the Development Forum for anyone who wants to contribute. Basically, I think I will take advice people want to give and compile it all together in a roleplay guide book for FB. It is not going to be a rulebook. Merely a place players can go to get some ideas of how to improve their writing. So feel free to contribute if you have some ideas or advice for anyone from the novice to the professional. After all, writing is a medium that is nearly impossible to master, but is something that can be great.

RIP in bits Neville, level 1 - level 7ish.

I've also put forward a bounty of 50k coins on the head of Keith Masters for murdering a pokemon in vengeful blood.

Actually Stark, would you mind if someone reposted that into the RPG forum? It's pretty applicable there as well.

[Treepandaone]

Talas updates are up. I'm not particularly happy with them, but hopefully I'll get better as time goes on

[Lass El]

Spoiler: show

After roughly two and a half years, I finally created a visual representation of El that's not just a recoloured sprite and it's only because a shiny Ralts used Teleport on me at like three am.

Thanks Ralts, I guess.

...I really should draw more I need practice.

[Raves]

>shiny ralts teleport

OOOOOOFFF. Major bummer that, as bad as exploding shinies.

Ouch. >_< I know the feeling- once I found a Shiny Ekans in the Safari Zone. As you can imagine, that didn't end well.

[Lass El]

Bah, it's mostly my fault for flinging Premier Balls over something more effective. I definitely won't forget about Teleport next time though, that's for sure.

Yeah, that's basically exactly the kind of emergency I save my Master Ball for.

[Raves]

Quick Balls are also your best friend. Most bombs/teleporters have catch rates a Quick Ball would get nearly 100% of the time.

Now, as for stuffing a certain flounder thing...perhaps you should make Neville into a nice bag instead.

[Princess Ana]

Yeah, Quick Balls are always a trainer's best friend and I always make sure that I have a bunch of them.

Go right ahead. I find it to be a nice useful read. I didn't write it originally, so please don't give me credit for it. I do not know who wrote it originally since it has been passed around a number of different rpgs that I have seen.

Those, too. Actually, I make a point of stockpiling every variety of Poké Ball I possibly can as quickly as I can. Trust me, running into a Shiny Zigzagoon immediately after running out of Poké Balls, that'll drill the lesson into your head real good. Still like to keep a couple of Master Balls in case of emergency, though- I mean, sure, Quick Balls will most likely get the job done for the likes of Abra and Ralts, but if we're talking harder to catch Shinies like Memento Spiritomb or Self-Destruct Graveler, stuff that could conceivably break out of a Quick Ball, I'd personally feel better knowing I could always just throw a Master Ball at them.

[Raves]

For those Graveler, Damp pokemon are amazing. Memento users, however, are a reason to M-Ball. Not much you can do against Final Gambit either, aside from Imprison/Final Gambit/Memento/Spore Smeargle.

[Missingno. Master]

Actually, Ghost-types are a good way to get around Final Gambit. The move will fail against them, to the point where the user doesn't just uselessly KO itself. Memento, though, yeah, that's definitely a problem if you don't have a Master Ball.

[Raves]

Memento does get stopped by Taunt though.

[Missingno. Master]

That's true, but all it takes is forgetting to use Taunt after it wears off just once, which is something I could definitely see happening. Closest I ever actually came to any of these situations is when I caught a Shiny Luxio in Y- it knew Roar, but I had my Suction Cups Octillery on hand, so I made sure to switch it in.

This is so immensely true.

I have added some more stuff to the Development Thread that if you want to use and take over to the RPG Forum you are more than welcome to do so. I will be adding things here and there as I go along and when they pop into my head, so feel free to keep an eye on the thread and use what you want.

Time to attempt to make the ultimate bromance whilst knowing nothing about how bromances work!

[Princess Ana]

I don't know how bromances work either. I mean you could look at Kin and I but there are the obvious issues with that.

Also I think I should reply to my base. Yes, good plan.

I think the way bromance works is the two guys involved in one are so close to each other friendship-wise that they are very comfortable with one other, in a way you would think they're brothers (or to an extreme, in a romantic relationship) but they're actually not; They're just extremely good friends that support each other.

>Bromance

Guy Love, that's all it is; Guy Love, he's mine, I'm his; there's nothing gay about it in our eyes~
