I don't really have anything against him. I just like Samus better, that's all. I mean, if you could have your choice between a fire flower or an arm-mounted energy cannon/rocket launcher, which would you choose?

Between just those two? I would still take the Fire Flower with no question. I don't care about destructive power. Guns, and all other weapons  of the sort, hold no appeal to me. I prefer "fantasy violence" to just out-and-out violence.

But backing up a bit: If it were up to me, I'd rather have a Super Leaf or Super Carrot than a Fire Flower if we're talking just about Mario's world. Or a Winged Cap... or a Tanuki Suit... even the Froggy suit is cute...the cape is really funny, too...or Parry (Peach's Parasol)... *voice trails off as she continues* ...

*he laughs* Out of every weapon from every Nintendo franchise, I stand by this forever and always when I say I would rather take the Master Sword (formerly the Goddess Sword) and the Hylian Shield over anything else. I mean, a blade that was forged by the goddess Hylia and a shield that has been proven to be indestructible time and time again? Not to mention that fighting with a sword comes natural to me, shield or no shield.

I'll take the Master Sword. XD

*hugs it to him and runs up a tree* Ours! Our precious! *he's hunched over like Gollum, caressing the blade and handle lovingly*

*laughs* Sorry, I just really like the Master Sword. I tend to go a bit overboard at times.

Are we ready for the tournament yet?

You'd have to ask Sailor. She has yet to respond, anyway.

The answer is "No", but mage you were the last post so you should know! It very clearly had nothing to  do with the tournament starting.

I might have already said it, but I'll say it again: This is why I wanted some of the other Snagem admins to make an appearance without truly incriminating themselves. It would give us something to do during the slight "down-time".

Well bring them in then. We can just NPC them.

Well, I'll leave that up to you, then, since I have no idea who any of them are or how they behave or anything. If we were to, say, bring in the Sinis Trio (the Team Dim Sun admins) from Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, that would be a different story. Then I'd volunteer to be Ice, since he's the one I know best out of Ice, Lavana, and Heath.

Having them be NPC was the assumption from the beginning.... Anyway, I know more about the Snagem/Cipher admins from Colosseum than the ones from XD, but Yami, you said once that XD is the only one of the two you've played, right?

Anyway (again) we were using both sets, so we have: Miror B., Dakim, Venus, Ein, Lovrina, Snattle, Gorigan, Ardos and Eldes.

Ardos is the one we've already used and I have specific plans for Miror B. and Venus for later, but other than that, the rest are all up for grabs. (that also reminds me that I need to get my other profiles done FOR said plans...)

I have played Colosseum and watched a little bit of a play through of XD. I have never beaten Colosseum. I always stop when I get to the lab. I really don't remember the admins expect for Miror B and Venus. 

I could make an OC? I know I hate bios, but I feel like I would roleplay an OC admin better. They don't have to be admin though. They could be a high ranking grunt.  Also I really should make my other trainer OC from Kalos.

Sure, if you really want. All the information you could need on the others is right on Bulbapedia, though.

Yeah, but I feel like I wouldn't be severing their character justice.

Heck, I doubt that I really serve justice to any of the Pokedex Holders, but I'm still using them.

I'm very picking when it comes to roleplaying as Canon characters.

Are you going to respond, Sailor? I honestly don't know how long it's been, only that it's been a few weeks.

I'm sorry, but I still honestly don't know what to do. Our groups already kind of have a small wager going on between them that Iris was included in because she was there at the time, so really, having your character have an extra bet with  her kind seems... I dunno.... redundant.

I guess If you're really, REALLY insistent on keeping it this way, my characters could up the stakes as well by having each of them offer a Pokemon for whoever out of all of them gets the furthest in the tournament, but.... I would have to think of which Pokemon...definitely not any of their Team Pokemon, or any other notable "status unknown" Pokemon, but...

Well, I honestly only did that because of her being a Dragon Master, and Garchomp is the only Dragon-type I (Seishin is pretty much based on me, aside from the whole "Aura Guardian thing), aside from Dragonite, and Dragonite is completely OP, not to mention she already has one in canon... Anyway, if you really have no idea where to go, I'll just take that part out.

But it's not even the Pokemon you chose that's the problem, it's the "bet on top of a bet" that I'm saying is making it redundant.... but maybe I CAN work with it if, like I said,  I level the playing field by having everyone offer a Pokemon to the winner of the first bet and that will be THE bet.

I'll take another look and do my best to get something up by the end of the week (you honestly don't know how hard it's been just to fit in all of my art in between in between work lately, but HOPEFULLY that's done now)

Well, I took out the Garchomp, so now it's just the bet about the name. And my reasoning behind that was, if everyone else is part of a bet, why not have Seishin have one too?

*sigh...* Alright, good enough. I'll... see what I can do.

I'm not sure if those are actually ears that Lucario have, all I know is that they act like antenna, aiding in their ability to sense aura.
