Fire Punch was more than usable for coverage if you weren't fire type, but anything with STAB was using Flare Blitz.

**BladeVap** · 10-16-10 04:29 PM

I mentioned this on the previous forums, but I'm just rebringing it up.

Ho-oh's talons are bluish-black. The boots on the Ho-oh Cosplayer's feet are grayish-black. Should we fix that, or is it fine?

**ImmunityBow** · 10-17-10 01:48 AM

I feel it's fine. It's not really that much of an issue, is it?

**BladeVap** · 10-17-10 02:18 AM

Not really, no...I was just wondering...

**ImmunityBow** · 12-16-11 12:01 AM

Scientists have recently discovered that STRIBRA uses the static to make its legs move faster than should be possible.

Sounds like Stribra should have Overdrive, doesn't it? It only has Run Away right now.

**NyteFyre** · 12-16-11 01:18 AM

I don't see why not. I personally prefer pokemon to have two abilities, it adds a layer of complexity, and can allow for more creative team set-ups.

**SilentSentinel** · 12-16-11 05:44 AM

Eh, let's throw it on there then!

**ImmunityBow** · 02-04-12 09:43 AM

Just found out that Berry Smoothie is too many characters for the game to handle. Change to Berry Blend?

EDIT: More offenders:

Flare Incense
Dairy Incense
Twilight Crest

12 characters max by the way.

Also X Special would have to be changed to X Special Attack with the inclusion of X Special Defense, both of which are too long. X Sp. Attack and X Sp. Def would work though.

**NyteFyre** · 02-04-12 03:34 PM

Twili Crest - 11 char or Night Crest - also 11 char

Milk incense - 12 char

Fire Incense - 12 char

Juice Blend, or Berry Drink? Otherwise, Berry Blend is fine.

Any moves that offend that rule?

**Tyrannigon64** · 02-04-12 03:55 PM

I'm fine with Berry Blend.

What about Nox Crest, or Umbra Crest? (9 and 11 char, respectively)

**ImmunityBow** · 02-04-12 06:57 PM

I checked all the moves, and it's impressive, something like 1/3 to 1/2 the moves are 12 characters, but the only one that might go over is Orion's Sword, which might be 13 characters. But that's okay, it can just be Orion Sword without losing anything.

I thought about Milk and Fire Incense, and I agree that those probably work best (I mean, how many synonyms for Dairy are there?) Umbra Crest is probably better than Nox Crest, since Nox Crest could apply to Poison-types too.

**Silver** · 02-04-12 09:02 PM

how about Luna Crest? 10 char

Skarmory/Skalloy needs an early steel move,
I suggest Metal Claw.

**ImmunityBow** · 02-04-12 09:18 PM

Umbra suits the Pokemon themselves better, I think. Abyssus, Harskrow, Cackinge...

**NyteFyre** · 02-04-12 11:31 PM

Umbra is fine with me.

**Cyndadile** · 02-05-12 02:04 PM

I agree with Umbra Crest and Berry Blend. I don't especially like Fire and Milk Incense, but there aren't really a lot of options.

**ImmunityBow** · 03-22-12 08:33 PM

Actually I just thought up a replacement for Flare Incense. What about Char Incense? We'd have to re-sprite the item but I like it.

**Cyndadile** · 03-22-12 11:11 PM

That sounds good.

**NyteFyre** · 03-22-12 11:18 PM

seems fine to me, but what color would it have to be then? Charcoal Gray?

**Tyrannigon64** · 03-22-12 11:20 PM

I just thought of one: Pyro Incense. I like Char better, but I just thought I'd put it out there.

**ImmunityBow** · 03-23-12 08:06 PM

So, are we clear on:

Berry Smoothie --> Berry Blend
Twilight Crest --> Umbra Crest
Dairy Incense --> Milk Incense
Flare Incense --> Char Incense

I was thinking Char Incense would be black-ish, but to be honest if you're interested you can try anything you like. Even if the design doesn't fit charcoal specifically as long as it makes sense in the context of Vixun and Barkub it should be fine. I do think that the current Flare Incense sprite could use an update anyway.

**Tyrannigon64** · 03-23-12 09:07 PM

Is this okay?

**NyteFyre** · 03-24-12 04:29 PM

That actually looks pretty cool, though I feel the "flame" could be a bit higher up, but that's just me.

**ImmunityBow** · 03-25-12 11:39 PM

Yes, it's good enough.

**ImmunityBow** · 04-10-12 09:52 PM

I've talked endlessly about how I really enjoy how at least until most of DPPt "Dark" type moves are less "I hit you with shadows" and more "I do evil/unfair things like beat you up, torment you etc."

As such... Dark Aura?

Anyone agree with me that not only is the name unoriginal (kind of like the move, but I don't think it needs to be changed), it doesn't even correspond clearly in flavour to what it does (+2 Sp Def.) Dark Aura sounds more like an offensive increase etc. As a suggestion I think we could rename it "Deny" or "Ignore" instead, which would also fit in with Amnesia, which does the same thing, but with a darker twist. A new name would have to be just as "can fit any Dark type" as Dark Aura, I think Deny does that.

**NyteFyre** · 04-11-12 12:15 AM

Reject/ion could be a possible name, Refute could also work. Deny is so simple, that it works, but I feel we could do better.

Possibly we could do CorruptArmor as a spin on Dark Aura. It's still dark, and seems more fitting with what Dark types stand for, while also making sense in terms of what it does.

**ImmunityBow** · 04-11-12 12:30 AM

It's not as elegant though. I love Dark-type moves because a lot of them do exactly what you'd expect them to do. Beat Up literally sends your whole team to each use their physical stats to hit the enemy. Taunt makes them unable to use non-damaging moves. Pursuit pursues them so they can't switch. What exactly is CorruptArmor? An armor made of corruption? Metal that's rusty? etc.

**NyteFyre** · 04-11-12 01:05 AM

I was thinking more of an all encompassing aura of corrupting influence that guards against mental and other non-physical moves.

Well, what about Rejection, or Refute? To deny is the same as to reject or refute, plus those at least ARE somewhat elegant.

**ImmunityBow** · 04-11-12 01:58 AM

Refute implies a counterargument rather than simply complete willful ignorance.

Which could be interesting if the move was, say, 40 base power with a 100% +1 Sp. Def boost... (Sometimes it's so hard to deal with the fact that a lot of important things were decided before I even got here ): )

**Tyrannigon64** · 04-11-12 02:11 AM

I think Rejection works best.

**ImmunityBow** · 04-11-12 02:26 AM

Rejection somehow doesn't seem dark enough. What about Scorn?

**Cranky Guy** · 04-11-12 06:17 AM

How about Belittle, Scoff, Brush Off, Stare, Neglect, Blink, Overlook, Disregard, Forget, Scheme, Laugh or Cackle?

**NyteFyre** · 04-11-12 11:23 AM

Taken straight from a Thesaurus, I presume, Cranky?

Anyway, I still like Rejection, but perhaps Scorn could work. We'd have to change the move description to fit, of course, but that's fine. And yes IB, it does suck that so many things were decided before we even existed.

**Cranky Guy** · 04-11-12 03:49 PM

Yup, all of them are from a Thesaurus except for Scheme, Stare, Laugh and Cackle.

I think that Scorn works perfectly fine.

**BladeVap** · 04-11-12 05:23 PM

I like Scorn, myself.

Must resist urge to ask to call it Dischord so we can have a My Little Pony reference in Topaz...

**Tyrannigon64** · 04-11-12 06:04 PM

Yeah, I like Scorn too.

There's no H in Discord.

**BladeVap** · 04-11-12 06:07 PM

We see eye-to-eye, don't we?

The original word had an "h".

**Cyndadile** · 04-11-12 07:12 PM

Sounds good to me.

Why are people typing tangential comments in a smaller font?

**ImmunityBow** · 04-12-12 06:46 AM

Scoff is also kind of cool. I do like Scorn though.

**Cranky Guy** · 04-12-12 09:20 AM

I just realized that making a description for Scorn isn't as easy as I thought.

Heaps scorn upon the opponent/enemy/foe, sharply raising SP.DEF.

**NyteFyre** · 04-12-12 11:23 AM

"The user shows detest for the foe, sharply raises SP. DEF."
