[A Forgotten Legend]

Thats what everyone else feels like all the time. Haha

[ellie-is]

Haha. Guess I'm just not used to leaving Charas that long!

[ellie-is]

Done with my post, time for bed now. Gotta be up in five hours. See you all in 16 hours.

[Prpl_Mage]

Saying that I once again overdid it wouldn't be an exaggeration would it?
These posts only get longer and longer.

This is...

I'm kind of not seeing the point in continuing. I didn't realize that you guys were going to play ultrapowerful pokemon by the 2nd gym. I had this idea of Saiar stomping you guys, possibly all of you at once, but I'm not even sure she could win one vs one against any of you at this point the way your teams are powered and evolving. There is no F'ing way Frank should have won that battle with the riff raff he has.

Basically I don't want to just set myself up to lose repeatedly for your amusements. Might just abscond into being an NPC.

Against Tyranitar?
It was a 2 on one.
There was a barrier up. (only takes 50% damage)
Tail whip was maxed out (decreases defense by 75%)
Fighting deals 4x damage against it.
Focus energy.
Low kick deals a lot of damage (Tyranitar weights about 445 lbs and that gives low kick 120 power) compared to Karate Chop's 50.
And Anger point maximizes Primeape's attack stat.

I figured it what the only way to defeat a beast at lvl 55. To turn all possible things against it.

But I apologize. I didn't realize it appeared like I was overpowering. He pretty much lived on the edge with Chansey healing him up each time.
I apologize and will change my post shortly.

[SaiKar]

Even with all that, it's an ape you caught like two days ago vs a known strong pokemon that you had apparently trained with for a large part of your career. And it's not just you, though you're doing it too, but I never really got the sense that any of you have remotely even close to been in a dangerous spot. And I'm slightly upset with how absolutely pathetic my team has done. These aren't just rocket goons - they're my characters, but Dren had Alec attack a gravler with a grimer when he had a gloom just chillin'. Even without knowing type advantages (and I'd assume the grunts know the basics) he should have been fighting 2 vs 1 just out of spite. Lucas was the only one that did his fight justice, and that's mostly because Holly has a notably lousy team, but even she managed to KO something with an exploding koffing!

But yeah. I feel like you guys are playing the game where you just sorts breeze through every encounter. And I'm not very willing to just be another easy fight. I and my characters have lost every fight, except the Joey one but that was more of a gag than anything, and we're probably going to lose again to Articuno. So eh. My heart is starting to fall out of this.

[ellie-is]

Aw man, don't be like that. You said that the goons would be easy. Just say that we shouldn't use your characters like that and that they should be harder, people should be able to fix stuff.

[Prpl_Mage]

I changed my post so the whole Maya incident never took place which made things turn out as they really should. It also felt better reading it afterwards.

I admit that i let my pride get in the way of the earlier post. And I apologize for that.

Also, Sai you should write some battles. 'Cuz when we pick our battles we kinda do it out of the hopes of winning. That's why I picked Dan. He had nothing that would be super effective against me. And Neither Houndour or Abro would do well against Kabuto in the beginning so he stuck with Fearow(which never really learns any good moves)
If you pick your opponent and play the battle, you'll be more likely to do the trainers justice. We've never seen them in action.

Match 1 (implied by intro): Lost, stole Pokeball out of spite.
"Match" 2 (vs. Zubat): Caught.
Match 3 (vs. Graveler): Fled into abandoned Pokecenter.
Match 4 (vs. Houndoom): Confused, then fled.
Match 5 (vs. Viridian Forest): Caterpies and Weedles, no contest.
Match 6 (vs. Magby): Victory?
Match 7 (vs. Magby again): Clefairy gets owned, Zubat one-shots it again.
Match 8 (vs. Josh): Pity victory.
Match 9 (vs. Viridian Forest): Owned by BEEEEDRILLS. (Side note: Zubat KOed itself)
Match10(vs. Houndoom): Clefairy becomes bait while Onix owns it.
Match11(vs. Lucas): Barboach loses.
Match12(vs. Arcanine, Mightyena, and Graveler): Zubat is owned. Clefable does nothing. Barboach squirts at last second.

I demand an exception to this. I didn't spend 14 pages making sure Clefairy was labeled useless just for this.

[ellie-is]

Hah.

I didn't lose any fights so far but I hope I made them interesting. I've been trying to lose but its just hard.
Wanted to fight Prpl some time but he didn't want to. Maybe later.


And I also felt that the RP had just started. Just like the games, it would make sense for us to win battles against noobdy trainers and nice gym leaders. Thought it would get harder later on (like when we had to face you). You as in Saiar, not the goons.

[drenrin2120]

I feel pretty bad about this myself, giving up now would be a shame tho.

I can edit my post a bit too. In my defense, I try to play conservatively but it's a lot harder to write your own defeat then I thought it would be.
Hey, this is my first serious rp, give me another chance! Pweeeeease! *puppy face*

[Prpl_Mage]

It is hard to accept defeat. It really is.

But this was an eye-opener for me. I've realized that you can't get away with everything. Sometimes you gotta lower your guard and take the punch like a man. 'Cuz black eyes are cool.

[ellie-is]

I don't like losing against gym leaders (and thats most of my fights) because I'd need a rematch to get a badge, and rematches against NPCs are boring.

I will start losing against other people though.

As long as nobody tries to beat Lairon with a Raticate or Pidgey or something.

[drenrin2120]

I just think we need to think out our posts more thoroughly and honestly. I knew the kid had a gloom, but I didn't want to lose, so I had him run.

=\

That's pretty much what it comes down to. I convinced myself the kid was just scared. But that's just dumb, he's a rocket after all, and he'd only lost one of his pokemon.
Also, Sai, pokemon evolve at low levels. It doesn't mean they're strong. Especially my team. Both Noctowl and Graveler evolve at low levels... Thouuugh, I get maybe my hoot-hoot shouldn't have evolved so soon. STILL, my team wouldn't stand a chance against Espeon, Steelix, or that weird Koffing you got. Never mind what else you have.

AND in regards to my fight. This sounds silly, but I honestly wasn't sure what to do here. I wasn't sure if it'd be practical for trainers to switch out pokemon in fights. I mean, it works in the games, but how would this work in reality? People would be switching out pokemon left and right trying to gain the type advantage. I could've done two on one. I'm not sure why I didn't.

What was Alec's third pokemon? I forgot. =X
