I'll take a female Barboach... named "Aurelia".

No whatever, more Reimu!

OK, I made a post at 11-14-2013 04:56 PM on Page 47, and now I have some questions.

1.) Is Phione considered a legendary for the purposes of this RP?
2.) After I make a post, when can I expect a response? I think I led Sekibanki into a battle, after all.
3.) I understand that Gyms must be fought in order. What happens if I try to face them out of order?
4.) Do TMs work like they do in Gen V, or do they break after one use?
5.) Can a Gym Leader act as a Rival, plotwise?

Those are my questions.

No whatever, more Reimu!

I don't think Phione is a legendary, since you can obtain a lot of them. It's more of a pseudo-legendary. Like Volcarona.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

1) Manaphy is a legendary, but Phione's legendary status is... questionable.
2) Uh...
3) You'll get rekt.
4) They're single-use, but you can get multiple of them in this RP.
5) Gym leader as rival? That might be a slight problem, since there are other people than Seki in Unova who needs to take on the said gym.

Mima, pseudo-legendary is a very specific term. Only Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon, & Goodra are pseudo-legendary. Volcarona is commonly mistaken for a pseudo-legendary, but one of the requirements is that it has to be the last in a three stage line. I have never heard anyone call Phione a pseudo-legendary before.

No whatever, more Reimu!

(Double-post because I just saw Wriggle's post.)

Well, just to be safe, I won't use Phione. I'll do the gyms in order. And the Gym Leader will stay in the gym unless you make them leave the gym for some reason.

No whatever, more Reimu!

Thing is, my term of a pseudo legendary is different from others. I see a pseudo legendary as a pokemon that's not legendary that you can only get in very few ways, but you can breed it, like Volcarona, Phione, Zorua, etc.

I see. So it is not the Pokemon's power as much as it is the availability.

Exactly. I don't care about the power, whne it comes to Pseudo-legendaries, it's all about how many there are, where they are, and how difficult to get they are.
