i am curious.
for the tournament next month, how are you picking your team?
not asking what you picked specifically, just the thought process behind it.
is it better to go with your strongest or your favorites?
or do you have a different game plan entirely?
it's a lot harder narrowing it down to just three than i thought it would be.
i know there's still plenty of time and i don't have to decide TODAY but the sooner the better, right?

I asked my Pokemon to see which were interested, and when there were more than three, I picked between the group based on their types. I wouldn't be successful if I used all of one type, after all. They cover each others weaknesses.

Being interested means they will be more motivated to winning than something that is only going with it because you want them to.

There aren't any types that don't have any sort of weakness, so you probably will want to see about their moves too.
shadowdive: (bliiink)

[video] whoops last was supposed to be vid too hahaha

[Well that shot his eyebrows up with curiosity.] What type combination is that? [Thinking about it himself now.]

... I see, makes sense. [Scratching his chin in thought, he's trying to think what that would lok like.] Is it tough enough to take a hit from the moves that do normal amounts of damage though? Or does it have something that can prevent critical hits?
shadowdive: (dark glance)

You probably still will have to keep an eye on them being overwhelmed by pure power. [And there's that word again; oh right, this was Rose's fiance, the... guy who gave him "the talk". When it was actually Rose being a troll.]
shadowdive: (awkward)

I JUST DECIDED TO TAKE THIS PART DOWN HAHAHAH

[personal profile] shadowdive 2012-10-17 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. [Shrugs, but now that he's gone and realized that, he's starting to look a little awkward.]
shadowdive: (planning)

[personal profile] shadowdive 2012-10-17 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Not his fault your lady took advantage of anonymous.]

No. Just remembered something. Uh, thanks for then, now that the gears are working. [The most awkward yup.]
shadowdive: (planning)

[personal profile] shadowdive 2012-10-17 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Increasingly awkward.]

We spoke a little while back, though your typing was different. I assumed you were typing differently because the gears were acting strange and erasing trainer IDs. [Though now he's kind of suspicious..]
shadowdive: (awkward)

private lol

[There's some tapping on the gear as he's digging out that conversation, though he's somewhat hesitating because the topic is REALLY AWKWARD.] I thought it was Rose but the person said they were her fiance.

[After a moment, the feed goes private before he's linking this.]

Are you sure this isn't you?
shadowdive: (ghhhh)

private IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL THREAD

[personal profile] shadowdive 2012-10-17 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[God he wishes he was not using video now because his face is all sorts of a hilarious shade of red, his other hand half hiding his eyes.]

They seemed like easy to understand terms? [YEAH IT WAS PROBABLY ROSE. Damnit all.] At least my initial guess was spot on.
shadowdive: (awkward)

[personal profile] shadowdive 2012-10-17 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [Even his ears are red.] I guess "it's nice to meet you" instead, now.
shadowdive: (whatevs man)

[personal profile] shadowdive 2012-10-17 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Vanitas. Yeah, I am. [Snorting, at least the topic is shifting.] That must have been on the train, he wouldn't stop complaining. There wasn't anything else to do other than argue with Sollux though, it was boring as hell.

I don't really have that many options for my roster since I'm still a bit new, but it seems like there's a correlation between my favorites and my strongest. I also took movepools into consideration so I could be prepared to go against as many types as possible.

I'm slightly nervous, since I haven't challenged any gyms yet but I threw myself into this... (´・_・`)
