The plan to go with both /vp/ and /his/ is pretty much a go. Both sides agree it will be a fun dynamic and now we're just waiting for a formal invitation from /vp/ now that the board has slowed down a bit in night hours.
>>
>>50216544
Fun
>>
>>50216544
Did we formally accept /his/? Did we give them a gift?
>>
>>50216894
We have accepted them but not formally with a thread, though they know what the plan is 100%. We have not given them a gift yet. Things are just getting finalized and we're really waiting on /vp/, who insisted they ask us this year to show how much they love us, to formally ask us to the dance.
>>
>>50216932
I suppose writing something about Teej talking to Herodotus / whatever their -tan is going to be and Vanille wouldn't be out of the question?
>>
>>50216544
I like /his/ a lot more than /vp/ but at least it's better than last year (or two years ago?) where we went with /x/. Freaking bitches be crazy
>>
>>50216954
I believe they have /her/odotus, a living marble statue of an old ass roman dude and /his/toria, a loli who spouts bullshit history facts and is constantly corrected by /her/odutus.
>>
>>50216974
We went with /vp/ and /x/ last year, or the year before that. /x/ was our first date a long while back, but some things happened. There was a big fallout.

/vp/ and /tg/ made great stuff, last year.

From what I've seen on their thread, it's supposedly up in the air between Ghost girl, some female -tan, and Herodotus / Historia. It's up in the air.
>>
>>50216544
I've never been to /vp/ but do they think Grass types are useless as shit?

I need to know if other people share my opinion.
>>
>>50217076
Grass type IS useless as shit.
>>
>>50217076
Depends on the specific Pokemon anon. As a whole, grass is a shit typing yeah but there are a few exceptions. Serperior is a fucking monster and Ferrothorn is one of the best tanks in the game.
>>
>>50217101
this.
also venusaur is just king bulk of bulkyland.
>>
>>50216544
Can someone explain this to a newfag?

Oh good, I'm not alone.

What the general consensus on Steel and Water Pokemon?
>>
>>50217183
>What is the Winter Ball?
The Winter Ball is a crossboarding event where boards partner up, celebrate their board’s autism by creating OC through their board tans, and find common interests. At the end we all come together to a plugdj room to share meme music and funpost in the chat.

Our board (with /vp/ and /x/) ultimately led the event as it spiraled into chaos last year so I expect with our energy this time around we’ll have great success!
>>
>>50217196
Sounds fun. When's it happening?
>>
>>50217185
Steel is one of the best defensive typings for sure
Water has shitloads of mons and is super versatile (and scald is broken as fuck)
>>
>>50217115
You don't actually browse /vp/, do you
>>
>>50217203
A date hasn't been set yet but its looking to be somewhere between mid December to early January.

>>50217208
I agree with this anon completely, though with the burn nerf Scald isn't as broken as it was. Still really good though.
>>
>>50216544
Does /tg/ have a female tan? I think I remember an anon making one a few threads back.
>>
>>50217287
Not at the moment no.
Anon please you have no idea what you're starting. The shitposter will come back and ruin another thread.
>>

S-shitposter?

>>50217317

>>5021731
Shitposters?!
In my /tg/?
Surely not!
>>
>>50217327
Ah, I see what you mean. If the general consensus is that things should stay the same, then I'm none to argue.

H-hey /tg/ y-you're looking good today.

Oh me? I'm just here to give you this.

Y-you don't have to read it or anything if you don't want to. Faggot.
>>
>>50218249
Aww. /vp/. You never cease to amaze me with how motherfucking cute your tans are. I don't speak for the entirety of the board but I for one would love to go with you again, so long as our buddy /his/ here can tag along. I think he has a granddaughter around Viol's age so he isn't left out.
>>
>>50218271
I'm not sure if we've talked about /his/ really yet. People have been waiting for /his/ to make a move, and now most people are dead once they gave us the invite picture. I don't think anyone objected though, but I don't want to speak for anyone if they're unsure about the arrangements of who gets who. I know we were wondering if /his/ figured out their tan situation and what their plans are yet.

pls let us know your official answer soon, we'll be waiting. Faggot.
>>
>>50218303
Almost the entire population of people who give a fuck about the winter ball have agreed to take /vp/ as our main date. Final dance, kiss at the end of the night, all that jazz. /his/ is tagging along mostly as a bro with us with a chance of massive Roman orgy.
>>
>>50218348
You have to do right by /vp/, you can't just say "yes". Use those roleplay skills and those charisma points.
>>
>>50218366
Oh I know. We won't let you down /vp/. Just thought I'd let you know the current 's and clarify some things/set aside some worries.
>>
>>50218391
thanks for lookin out bby
>>
>>50218249
Dear /vp/,

In the interest of not starting any drama, I request that you either get your facts straight on what happened or don't include us in this story at all. An otherwise good piece of writefaggotry was detracted because of the author's hate boner for a certain board that he had to insert and make said board seem as bad as possible. So to reiterate, to avoid the drama, please either get the real events or don't include it at all.

With best regards,
/pol/

P.S. Good luck with /tg/

absolutely yes
>>
>>50218366
You heard him /tg/. Let's get those creativity caps on start making a response. Should we respond in story form as a direct continuation of their story from Teej's perspective? Perhaps we take a different route and write them a bardic ballad? Maybe we get lucky and a drawfag is generous enough to make a comic, oraybe we just continue our work on the grappling compendium from last year.
Turn on your cybernetic implants and chant your spell's because we've got a bitchin response to make.

As a Kekist, I must witness these repeating numbers and give my Lord Kek thanks for this blessing. Please do not be alarmed, this is merely my culture and Kekism is a religion of peace. Now, back to your regular discussion.
>>
From what I've gathered, both /his/ and /vp/ have agreed to go with us. This is officially a group date between /his/, /tg/, and /vp/, with /his/ having asked both of the ither boards out. /vp/ sent us a short story which I am in the process of reading, but I'm assuming they're also asking out both the other boards.

Do i have everything correct so far? It seems like we're going to say yes to ths menage a trois.
>>
>>50218631
Almost. /vp/ is asking us and us alone. /his/ is asking them if they can join, a fact that is all but confirmed. The way it is looking right now is that Teej is taking Vanille and /His/toria wishes to go with Viol. Herodotus is gonna bro it up with Teej as we try to help him get better integrated in the house and possibly have a huge Roman orgy with everyone involved.
>>
>>50218585
Ah don't fret lad.
All's forgiven.
>>
>>50218544
I... had an idea a while back. It wasn't all that great, but it might work.

http://pokemonshowdown.com

This is an online Pokémon battle simulator that's pretty much the greatest bootlegged Pokémon battle stadium ever, letting you have competitive battles with your friends, so long as both of you have internet, a computer, and an account.

My original idea was to create a tabletop rpg that used this to resolve all battles, but it seemed too Vidya for /tg/. It might work now though as a gift to /vp/

Alternatively, why don't we ask them to build a team, we do the same, and we ask them through a Pokémon battle.
>>
>>50218704
Anon you are a god damn genius! While the Pokemon tabletop idea will be a great present for right before the dance, the Pokemon battle will work perfectly well! As it just so happens I play quite a bit of Pokemon myself. I'd be happy and honored to take the mantle of challenger.

>>50218704
i think thats a fine idea.
>>
>>50218756
We already have half the team canonically made. The other three would have to be voted and decided upon.

So far we have
>Dyce the Sableye
>Screech the Crobat
>Sir Bearing on the Ursaring.
>>
>>50218704
>Adderall-kun

I'd expect nothing less from the guy who made the Calvin and Hobbes RPG. When's the next iteration gonna come out anyway? The thread you published it in didn't get nearly the attention it deserved.
>>
>>50218772
I cast my vote for a Golurk named Golem 6b and a Leopard named Commissar Mittens.
>>
>>50218772
We. Need. Aegislash.
>>
>>50218772
I think our final three should be
>Aegislash
>Golurk
>Mega Gallade
>>
>>50218778
>Implying we're not going to name it Cat-o Sicarius instead.
>>
>>50218792
I agree with this anon on the final 3. We'd be stupid not to have Aegislash and Gallade. Golem 6b is also a well known story and Golurk could also represent our love of stealing from ancient cultures.
>>
Let's not get ahead of ourselves guys. We need to discuss this with /vp/. A Pokemon battle requires 2 people and we'll need to be synched up both time-wise and tier wise. I think we should ask them to make a team they feel represents their board as a whole instead of just facing a cookie cutter OU team and getting our shit pushed in.

Granted cookie cutter OU could very well be their decision as to what team they build. At least they'll have discussed smashing us into the ground.
>>
>>50218775
Probably within the next week. I've got some friends working on some peer review for it right now.

>>50218756
We should offer /vp/ the chance to choose the format of the battle. There's as many ways to have a Pokémon battle as there is to play M:tG.

Also, I request the game be live-streamed and recorded. A small part of me hopes /vp/ goes crazy with Showdown and creates the 4chan Poke-cup. This would be fun.
>>
>>50218845
Do you think this idea has garnered enough traction to be posted in their thread? I don't wish to make the request until we are sure this is the course of action we want to take.

Unfortunately I'll have to pass my mantle on to someone else as my computer is way too shitty to stream and record.
>>
>>50218792
>Mega
Pls no.
>>
>>50218871
Why not? He's the ultimate knight. he's perfect for us! He even a bad ass cape.
>>
>>50218855
I'm all for it, but I think we should wait until the /his/-/vp/ arrangements are made.
It is possible to have a 1v1v1 pokemon match right? At least in the cardgame it it.
>>
>>50218855
Let's have a few hours to discuss, then when we have the consensus let's make the request. Then the discussion becomes one of

A) Polling to find the right person to play for our board.

B) waiting for /vp/ to decide on gameplay so we can theory craft the game

C) homebrewing the RPG. Should be simple enough if I think about it... just take the existing Pokémon RPG, gut anything to do with battles, and work on an analogue system to allow EXP in the RPG to let you level your Pokémon in Showdown. The rest is guides for the GM to create "Balanced" Pokémon battles and award EXP and items, while making it enjoyable for multiple players.
>>
>>50218880
Nope, not in the vidya, or in Showdown. It's strictly 1v1.
>>
>>50218792
What about Garchomp?
>>
>>50218890
If we're having a Dragon on our team, it had better be a female Hydreigon named Tiamat.
>>
>>50218881
Alright that sounds like a plan.
I do think we should save the RPG system for a later gift. Perhaps right before the dance instead of rushing it out as a gift for the response. This gives us time to put a good amount of effort into it and make something awesome.
>>
>>50218901
>Not taking the most traditional looking dragon Salamence
>>
>>50218901
Skarmory?
I'd say escavalier, but that's one for /his/
>>
>>50218903
Exactly, which is why I think we should start working on it ASAP, knowing /tg/'s current track record for projects of this sort.

We don't get shit done as much anymore.
>>
>>50218926
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Tabletop_Adventures
You mean this?
>>
>>50218909
Oh fuck yeah Salamence is good.

So how about
>Sableye (maybe mega)
>Crobat
>Ursaring
>Aegislash
>Gallade (maybe mega)
>Salamence (maybe mega)
All in all I feel it's a pretty good team and covers most of our bases both flavor and mechanics-wise.
>>
>>50218920
Oh, and Aggron.
Call him siege rhino.
>>
>>50218926
I know of one system we can gut and that's Pokemon Tabletop United, an updated and much more balanced version of Pokemon Tabletop Adventures.
It shouldnt be too hard to scoop out the catching mechanics and cut out the combat. Plus it gives us room for classes for the trainers to be.
>>
>>50218940
I meant Rhyperior.
>>
>>50218934
This will probably change according to the methods /vp/ wants to play by. Perhaps when we ask we should ask for an advisor from /vp/ to come assist us when we make the request?
>>
>>50218940
Eh. Maybe as one stored in the box but I don't see it on his main team.
I think >>50218934 has the right idea.

If we're going with His, I think it's a good time to bring back Tiji. It might even make more sense to focus on her this year, and leave male /tg/ for next year.
>>
>>50218947
That's probably be a good idea. We have a few trainers in here but he help of a master is sure to guide us down the right path. Let's just hope Showdown doesn't shut down to add in the new mona from the new game like it did last generation.

no one respond to the thing you know you shouldn't respond to.
>>
>>50218954
We already had a large discussion about this in the last thread and even had a poll. The results were that Teej is going to be used this year and 83% of people don't want two tans.

Of course even if we did it would be poor form and unfair to the dates we already have to introduce Tiji just before a large event like the ball.
>>
>>50217311
Oh, you're terrible.

Don't start playing the whole "anyone who wants to change anything is a shitposter" game again. You did that last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.

Let people have their fun and try out new things.
>>
>>50218976
That's stupid. The poll had only eighteen people say anything, so there's no real point in trying to pretend it was any major consensus.

You really need to stop using all these "tricks" to try and get your way, when all you're doing is hiding the way this thing works.

It's not a democracy. No one needs to listen to idea guys. There's no such thing as a general consensus. It's just people making stuff and having fun, and all you seem to want to do is stop people from making stuff and having fun.

There's nothing "unfair" about switching to Tiji this year, and it makes a lot mores sense if we're going with a board who's main board-tan is male.
>>
>>50218975
>>50218976
Why all this open hostility all the time? You guys are awful.
>>
Speaking of getting back to /vp/, we still haven't formally responded to /his/ at all either. Any ideas for cool shit we can do for them?
>>
>>50218994
>no one needs to listen to idea guys
>says the person trying to spitball a change in tans

You heard it from the source, lads. No need to listen to shitpost-kun anymore.
>>
I didn't think /vp/ would participate this year, with Sun/Moon coming out like next week. I know I'll be playing for a disgusting amount of hours. I'm glad they do, though.
>>
>>50219008
What is wrong with you?
No one needs to listen to your post either.
If people want a female /tg/, you should stop going to such lengths to stop them like arguing that anyone who wants to try is a shitposter.

You're practically evil. Could you imagine if the other boards had to deal with people like you? Always trying to anyone from doing anything aside from sticking to your personal head canon?
>>
>>50219001
Maybe ask historical wargames general?
>>
>>50219001
I was thinking we could make a campaign setting where a bunch of famous historical figures are ressurected and brought to a medieval/feudal setting to defeat a great and evil Sorcerer. You play as a historical figure of your choosing and venture across this strange yet familiar land solving problems and occasionally killing shit.
>>
>>50218975
No, fuck you. Stop trying to treat Tiji like it's a problem issue. You did that last year and scared away all the drawfags, and now it sounds like you want to do the same thing this year.
>>
>>50219024
>Could you imagine if the other boards had to deal with people like you?

YES.
>>
>>50218954
Why not?
The big isssue is that Tiji hasn't even really been settled down yet, because last year a few people got really upset about the whole idea for some reason.
It's probably going to take some time to actually get the character built up, which also means we need a lot of drawfags hyped up and interested again.

>>50218976
Please, don't try to ruin this again this year. I really liked what was starting last year, and it's really unfair to just try and steer people away from it when it hasn't even started yet and we haven't seen just how good an idea it might be. In fact, just judging from last year's work, it's a really great idea, and I'd love to see more of it explored.
>>
>>50219054
Isn't there a Pathfinder Adventure where you have to go to Earth during WW1 and kill Rasputin?
I vote that the evil sorcerer is Rasputin's brain in a jar and that he's actually an incredibly powerful psionic. The final boss is the brain controlling a massive magic-powered mech suit.
>>
Sigh, I know you people enjoy your little ball because it makes up for nobody taking you to prom, but do we need to have this crap taking up space on the board every single year?

This isn't relevant to /tg/. Can't the ball have its own place to set these things up instead of infecting all the boards?
>>
>>50219066
That vote is less important than drawfags individual feelings.

Also, it was kind of a dumb poll, and wasn't even really about female /tg/. You're also mistating the results, which makes me convinced that you're really just trying to misuse polls to stop people from doing anything you dislike.

83% just said they only wanted one board tan instead of two. Stop trying to mislead people, especially since more than half the responses were that the board-tan needed an update.

I doubt they're trying to ruin anything, they're just sticking with the established -tan instead of trying to make up a new snowflake every time this event happens.

If you're going for that argument, I don't see how the personification of a mongolian cave painting board can actually achieve that.

It's up there with headcanoning characters as LGBT because apparently that makes them progressive
>>
>>50219319
What's evil is trying to turn anything you don't like into a problem issue. This isn't supposed to be a thing where a few people control what everyone does while pretending that everyone's allowed to contribute ideas.

If people want to explore an idea that you don't like, go work on the stuff you care about and leave them alone instead of demanding they should focus on your stuff.
>>
>>50218704
Fun fact: using Showdown (or other battle sims) as the method of resolving RP battles is not...actually the best idea in the world, because it means that the players who are best at competitive battling win every damn time and everyone else either has to learn DAMN fast or loses constantly to the others. It also means people try to go for the usual OU fuckers instead of using stuff that fits the characters, because they don't want to lose horribly because someone ELSE went for one of them.
That said, Tier Shift helps with the latter problem a shitload.
>>
>>50219168
Yeah, im with you there. I don't see why she can't be a character in the """canon""". Both /co/ and /d/ have characters like Colette and Deleete (or how they spell it.)
But i'd never want to remove Teej.

I really don't like the whole gender change thing.
It's pretty awkward and fetishy, and detracts from both characters.

A female /tg/ would be cool, but I don't think this year. From what I'm reading it looks like we already have stuff planned out sort of with /vp/ and /his/, and it would be rude to spring this up and try and get a new character involved. Plus, Teej is with Vanille, Viol hanging with historia and Herodotus being a bro to talk about Roman orgies with I don't see where she'd fit into this.

Brilliant! I'm a sucker for novel resolution mechanics. It's the perfect gift too, since it would make a great way for Pokemon fans to get into P&P. I'm guessing since we're offloading all the fight mechanics onto Showdown the rest of the system is going to be extremely light?

>>
>>50221807

Ok, so here's where it might get a little tricky. As I see it we need the following:

-Stats for Trainers. Mainly to resolve physical hazards, social interaction, and everything the Player does outside of battle. I'd probably suggest something d6 based in order to account for new RPG players acquiring materials. Probably not dice pool based so as to avoid complications involving gathering 20d6.

-method to create balanced encounters. This is going to be pretty damn hard.

-leveling mechanics. We need a way to translate simple XP increase to all that EV, IV, and other stat assignment while leveling your Pokémon.

-Random Encounter tables by Environment and region.

-methods for using pokemon moves outside of combat. Needn't be too complicated, just translate pokemons stat to a relevant dice roll, and make a skill check. Maybe do this as rules for Pokémon Pageants and Competitions.

The rest is just the GM giving out Items and EXP.
>>
>>50222034
That's distinctly unfair. You're marking the people who are tired of people shitting things up, rather than the people who they are replying to, which started shitting things up just because someone suggested an idea.

Those people seem desperate to make this thing an issue, and it shouldn't be. That's why you, and them, need to stop getting upset and trying to make a problem out of people wanting to move in a different direction than the ones you want to move in.

Seriously. Stop trying to make this a problem issue, and stop defending the people who are trying their damnedest to make it one as well.

Agreed. D6's make the barrier of entry as low as possible
>-method to create balanced encounters. This is going to be pretty damn hard.
>-leveling mechanics. We need a way to translate simple XP increase to all that EV, IV, and other stat assignment while leveling your Pokémon.
I'd love to be involved with this, but unfortunately I'm really not the right person to ask for these. I played Gen1-3, but only casually. The first part might not be quite as hard for a GM who knew the games really well, but I can see the 2nd quickly causing the crunch to spiral out of control, given this is supposed to be a light game aimed at beginners
>-Random Encounter tables by Environment and region.
The campaigns will use the same maps as the games, right? Have them role a d6 every ____ while in a wild pokemon area and have them fight on a 1 (or maybe 6). Base the tables on the encounter rates from the games (Bulbapedia gives exact percentages, it looks like), compile them into a spreadsheet, and use a 1-100 RNG (or d100, if they own one). It'll be time consuming, but anyone can do it. I can definitely contribute, although I doubt I can do more than one continent before the ball if I'm on my own
>-methods for using pokemon moves outside of combat. Needn't be too complicated, just translate pokemons stat to a relevant dice roll, and make a skill check. Maybe do this as rules for Pokémon Pageants and Competitions.
How about 3d6+0.1(relevant stat) against a target number?

>>50223344
>I can see the 2nd quickly causing the crunch to spiral out of control, given this is supposed to be a light game aimed at beginners
How about you get a number of points to spend depending on the level of your Pokemon? That way competitive players aren't 100% blowing the others out of the water and it's a lot easier for us to design a simple table. The level growth doesn't have to be consistent as long as the end result has 508 points in total to spend at max level.
IV's I say we should just keep 30/31 for simplicities sake.

thinking of writing some short stories with Teej and the twins in the build up to Sun and Moon coming out this week. Considering a larger project not directly related to the upcoming Ball but involving the prominent boards associated with both /tg/ and /vp/.

Being only /tg/ for a few things and mostly just lurking every few months, could I get some help from a more knowledgeable source for finding an equivalent to Mimikyu in mechanics in tabletops/games in general? I want Teej to discuss what it reminds him of without looking like an idiot.

>It's a creature that hexes anyone who sees its true form so it disguises itself like a mimic in order to lure people in (only the reason it lures people in isn't to curse them, it's to befriend them because its lonely)
>personally makes its own disguise based on something beloved by other people
>has an ability where the first hit the Pokemon takes doesn't damage it, it just breaks the disguise (the opponent attacks the head when the body is the actual creature
>can comfortably set up the first turn to raise stats needed to become a bigger threat
>can still hold a focus sash to keep from being 1 shot with the disguise broken
>can be freely switched in to not be hit by normal, fighting, and dragon type moves (so paladins, monks, and dragons?)
>weak to ghosts and steel

so what do players think of it? Is it a poor tortured creature just trying to get by, or is it a dirty scoundrel trying to masquerade as something it's not?

>>
>>50228478
Well it isn't a particularly strong monster at only CR2 but it could be a fun and tricky encounter. Nothing serious though like aforementioned chest mimic or the living floors, roofs and walls from the older editions.

/vp/'s initial response:

Hey teej. Thanks for the heads up. With regards to rules, no legendaries, no genies, RU tier on showdown.

How about we do a custom game where each board puts together a team that best represents them? That way it's a bit more low-powered and it'll be a lot of fun making a canon team for Vanille and Viol, three Pokemon each.
>>
So can someone spell it out so that even an idiot can understand. As far as I can see it's just /vp/, /his/, and /tg/ all together to the ball.
>>
>>50228230
Does Pokémon Showdown allow for custom Pokémon? Can we have a team of D&D monsters?

>Rust Monster
>Steel
>Ability: Rusting Grasp (Draws in all Steel-type moves to boost its Speed stat)
>Item: Eviolite (Raises the holder's Defense and Special Defense by 50% if the holder is not fully evolved.)
>Dragon Dance
>Earthquake
>Fire Fang
>Revenge

>Beholder
>Psychic/Flying
>Ability: Eyes Open (Changes form depending on how it battles)
>Item: Safety Goggles (Grants the holder immunity to weather-related damage and powder moves.)
>Hyper Beam
>Telekinesis
>Yawn
>Antimagic Eye
>>
>>50228943
Pretty much. To get in the nitty gritty details /tg/ is taking Vanille, /vp/ 's girl-tan, and broing it up with /his/'s male-tan /her/odotus. /his/'s girl-tan /his/toria is taking /vp/'s male twin Viol since they're around the same age.
>>
>>50228954
Not as far as I'm aware. We could make movements and give abilities already existing Pokemon don't get normally but creating anything new isn't possible as far as I know.
>>
>>50228943
Teej and Vanille are going together, as an actual couple, but Herodotus is coming along for the ride, because he's a bro, however, if things get a little spicy, he'll turning this into a full on Roman Orgy, especially if /d/ joins in.
>>
>>50229017
Yeah, not possible. We do have to wait for /vp/ to decide on tiers before we can solidify our team, and then we'll hopefully get a hand from them to make it a challenge.
>>
>>50228725
I can autism up a team if we need one based off what tier they do. We can keep it in theme best we can.
>>
>>50229131
Same here. I'm hoping they do the custom game suggestion but I'd be fine with any tier UU or below.
>>
>>50229196
Obviously we want a team with a Ghost and Steel type as our core. Probably a Dragon too, but those are more rare in lower tiers
>>
>>50229233
So far our preliminary team for the custom match scenario is
Sableye (mega?)
Aegislash
Gallade (mega?)
Salamence
Ursaring
Crobat

I'm no expert but I'd say it's a pretty balanced and solid team. A good mix of tiers, no glaring weaknesses and flavorful as fuck.
>>
>>50229277
Eh, I feel like something that is one Pokemon from each tier might be better. Also Escavalier is the Knight Pokemon, don't forget them.
>>
>>50229277
We need to name them, right? Or at least the ones that haven't been named yet, right?
>>
>>50229021
>>50228986
you do know that the greeks embraced more... open ended relationships, right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty_in_ancient_Greece
>>
>>50229335
Sableye is UU, OU if we have mega
Aegislash is ubers
Gallade is RU, OU if we have mega
Mence is OU
Ursaring is PU (lowest tier)
Crobat is UU

Seems to be pretty spread around the tiers.
While I really like Escavalier, I feel he's the black knight to Gallade's white knight and lets be honest /tg/, we're all white knights.

>>50229365
We'll name them one we have a finalized team. The only ones that have names so far are the Sableye (Dyce), the Ursaring (Sir Bearington), and the Crobat (Screech)
>>
>>50229473
I say Sableye be the mega. You can have /tg/ without white knights, but you can't have it without Dice.
>>
>>50229473
Weren't we going to add a Golurk named Golem 6b to the team? Where does he tier?
>>
>>50229496
Golurk is NU.
>>
>>50229496
Golurk is NU, the tier above PU. He was originally on the team but was replaced by Salamence. You can't have a /tg/ team without a dragon and mence was the one that looked most like a traditional western dragon.

>>50229492
I agree whole-heartedly.
>>
>>50229517
Also don't forget to have Ursaring have the good ol Guts + Toxic Orb set for Facade.

>>50229541
>>50229517
Making a preliminary team right now based on >>50229473
We don't have much for utility mons but we are also missing a strong special attacker. Do we want Mega Sableye to be supporty with Knock Off or do we want him to be a set-up sweeper with Calm Mind and Shadow Ball?
>>
>>50229594
Supporty. Also can't Mence or Aegislash act as a special attackers? We can have Crobat with defog.
>>
>>50229608
Aegislash is a good option. From my experience Mence is usually a physical attacker with a special move for wall-breaking but Aegislash could definitely work as a special attacker.
>>
>>50229652
Yeah, go for it. Gallade is the real mystery for me.

>>50229718
What about Balls: The Catchening?

>>50229729
That can work. Our team is pretty heavy on physical damage, so we just need to hope they don't have too many physical walls.

Alright, guys, /vp/ isn't going to play nice against us, but they've discussed and have decided that if another board manages to beat them at their own game, then that's considered grounds for declaring /tg/ their soulmate.

So the real question is, how much do we want to get with /vp/?

Pros:
-They get strategy, game balance, and the importance of
-They have *just* as much interest/hate towards monstergirls and beastfolk as we do.
-they understand the importance of a good story, and how to fix their own lore(remove Ash from the anime and will openly admit that Digimon did it better story-wise)
-could be persuaded to tabletop using various board games, including our gift to them.

Cons:
-might be way more into the kinky stuff than we give them credit for.
-have to deal with /v/ as our brother in-law.
-childish at times
-it means that we've given up on /x/ once and for all.
-still fairly vidya

Thoughts?

I wanna get with /vp/ so bad it isn't even funny. They are the reason I look forward to the winter ball and with the twins turning 17 it isn't nearly as weird to have us dating Vanille. I've been pushing for this since the day the first piece of fan art came out.

You must be confused anon. That is not Necromancy, that is summoning. Granted there is a very fine line between the two when it comes to ghosts but only summoners have to bind the spirit to a summoning circle like those two have before commanding them.

Having a hard time sleeping so I'll give you guys an update on the /vp/ poll.

20 votes total so far. A bit above average for every other poll we've done so far.

95% Hell yes! We've been alluding to it for two years, now it's time to put our money where our mouth is and follow through!

5% I want to pursue /x/. The corpse is still fresh and we know necromancy.

Looks like the answer to this one is pretty clear to see.

I suggest taking a look at PTU and Pokerole, to see how they handle shit. I don't know the systems, only that they exist.

Guys we should allude to our courtship in the Pokemon battle somehow. Challenging them with an entire team of Luvdisc and claiming it was a mistake, giving all of our mons attract, that sort of thing.
>>
>>50231779
Would these luvdiscs be male or female? This is important?
>>
>>50231867
Four female, two male
>>
>>50231901
A defensive team huh? Them males better be top tier sweepers.
Fagboi, why are we attracting Viol?
>>
>>50231931
[Spoiler]Vanille is the main goal. Viol comes along as a package deal so we have to make sure he feels right at home too.[/spoiler]plus he's a little fagboy
>>
>>50231931
fuck I just realized the purpose of the question. The Luvdisc genders.should be reversed.
>>
>>50231972
Too late. I'm sure /his/ will appreciate what you're doing.
>>
>>50231776
PTU is mostly fine. I GM a game with it and while character sheets take my players a bit to figure out (being more complex than they're used to but not impossible), the main drag is combat. With Pokemon being considered just slightly less skilled players, with even just 3 players and a full team, you're managing fights against an effective force of 21 PCs. And the only way to make combat challenging is a big boss fight or massive hordes of enemies that drag out combat when the players are not into that. But avoiding combat for the sake of player enjoyment hurts it aswell because players itch to show off their new catches and want conflict. Just without it taking 2 hours to fight through an easy gym.

plus GM tools kinda suck, but I'm probably not the best at leveraging them to the best extent. Takes awhile to generate teams of Pokemon on the fly without the stats getting fucked into either min-maxing or all defense investment with no attack or speed.
>>
>>50230205
So who is going to do the actual battling? Or are we gonna have a war counsel?
>>
>>50232294
PTU has fun ideas, but making a challenging fight is a pain. Since Bosses need to be strong enough to handle fighting 3-4 Pokemon at once even with minions, and the fight will still be in the PC's favor due to have up to 5 Pokemon in reserve. I love the idea of PTU though, so I'm determined to make it work.

We should have a Meowstic named Sicarius.

>>
>>50233318
I have a better question. Why do we not have a Delphox, the literal wizard Pokémon? Better yet, why do we not have a male Delphox with a cowardly nature named Rincewind?
>>
>>50233533
Because it will trigger /vp/
>>
>>50233252
Guys, /vp/ wants us as much as we want them, all we have to do is not screw this up.

/vp/ will be giving about 75%, so we give our %100, and build a solid team, and we'll at least make it interesting. That probably means learning how to use Aegislash like the Uber he is.

Morning guys. I'm back with the final results of the poll.

With a score of 27 yes to 1 no, I think it's save to say that this is something we all really want. I wish you all the best in your courtship endeavors. Now I shall recede back into the shadows until my skills are needed once more.

>>50232342
I'm casting my vote for the anon who made the preliminary team here >>50230205 It seems pretty good as is and that's without any help from /vp/. He obviously knows what he's doing.
>>
>>50233721
Aegislash is only an Uber because he's too strong for OU. If there was a tier between the two, he'd go there. I think the set we have there is fine. Weakness Policy will catch them off guard, especially the fact that it is mainly a special attacking Aegislash.

Hmm. While we are probably be fine with it, you'd better go ask /vp/ and /his/ first. It's their opinions that matter the most. If either one of them say no then I'm afraid we will have to decline.

>>50234989

Alright, I begrudgingly accept this, but we keep in mind that /vp/ is who we're pursuing now, and we keep /x/ at arms length. Unless /her/odotus' Roman Orgy happens.
>>
>>50235506
Well if they're both OK with it then welcome to our adventuring party /x/! I'm sure we'll have a swell time just like last year. If you want someone to call a date I'm pretty sure /his/ still has Herodotus open if you don't mind animated statues of ancient Greek historians.
>>
>>50235608
That sounds right up /x/'s alley
>>
I realise this may be a sensitive topic, but could someone give me a rundown of the /tg/x/ relationship?
>>
>>50235870
This is from the 1d4chan page. It seems a little out of date, a year at most, but gets the point across.

/x/ and /tg/ grew close over a shared interest in lovecraftian horror. When /b/ invaded her room, shitting up the place like a wild monkey, /tg/ offered to let /x/ stay with him. /x/ and /tg/ started dating then, and things were good. For a while, anyway. /tg/ helped clean up her room after /b/ left, and /x/ seemed to be in a better mental state with him. It didn't last though. /x/ started to fall apart, her own psychological issues compounded by exposure to /b/. After a long downward spiral in their relationship, one terminal fight broke out, ending the whole thing. /tg/ was angry that she was hanging out with /b/, /x/ was angry with /tg/ for being a dick about who she hangs with, and /x/ dumped him. /tg/ was initially angry, but mostly just sad at these events. /x/ has made a turn for the worse recently, and /tg/'s just upset that there's nothing he can really do about it.
>>
>>50235983
>That page doesn't even mention /vp/
This is so outrageous.
>>
>>50235983
>>50235870
also /x/ has a boner for /pol/ because the managed to summone a ancient frog god (or deamon, we still dont know) with just their shitposting
>>
>>50236035
>>50236043
To be fair the paragraph is about /tg/ and /x/'s relationship specifically but I will agree that it is pretty outdated. At least three years.
>>

Shit, how long has this been going on? I remember having a blast with this

Is it true there's a showdown match happening? When?
>>
>>50237224
Agreed. We want to win their heart with fiery fighting spirit. Stall is the exact opposite of that.
>>
>>50237273
No set dates or anything. We still have to wait for /vp/ to decide to tier and then nominate someone to actually do the battling. The way it's looking right now is that each board will have 6 Pokemon that represent the tan(s) and that board for their team, no tier restrictions. Our agreed upon team is >>50230205 with the nicknames subject to change.
You'll be happy to hear that we are now actively trying to get with /vp/ romantically. They have a birthday in a week so it's the perfect time.

We are also writing /his/ an Ork rendition of the Illiad or Odyssey.

/x/ has been shitposting and sockpuppeting in all the /pol/ Winter Ball threads because /pol/ picked /o/. If the shoe fits...

I don't have a picture to express the incredulity I'm feeling upon reading this post.

Go read the archived threads for yourself then. I'm not begging you to believe me if you're dead set on making /pol/ the evil boogeyman.

As you said if the shoe fits considering how they sockpuppet but my original gripe was them copying the scooby doo thing. They could've done something else to show they don't want /x/ but I guess they saw something easy and already half done. Wouldn't be hard to just tilt the situation into it.
