Yep, pretty much. I made it so that my dwarf was the only one who believed Paddywagon Man wasn't actually dead and that was just a lookalike, but I and Paddywagon Man were both upset to watch the baroness status go away.

In other news, time to go refill those cage traps! Who cares about all the corpses, fire, fiery corpses and goblins?

589
We still have gang wars? I'm still just happy over here snuggling all of my Mimikyus.

IF I HAD ANY (do I?)

590
I'm trying REALLY hard to fortify GoldSilver for that moment, so hopefully when it actually does happen we aren't totally screwed. Also, does anyone mind if I use a whimsicott as an arena beast?
I believe in you, Petrel. Let's keep this fort alive until we actually plunge into HFS and it all goes to shit unless we have a heavily fortified underground as well.

And aww, Paddywagon Man. Thank you.

I missed you guys. :-[

Okay, nevermind then about that cascoon.
What about silcoon and beautifly?
266|Silcoon   |POISON           |  38|  24|  39|  28|  38|  38|MARVEL SCALE|-------     |POKé BALL (common)
267|Beautifly |POISON           |  73|  46|  75|  54|  73|  73|MARVEL SCALE|-------     |

Not that great, but anything would have been better than that abomination Dustox.

592
The evolving period is something like 30 months, so I can't promise anything.
Fair; we'll have to see if a couple of overseers can go without just forcing these tiny spiders into being a torture chamber of sorts. Though that wouldn't be a bad idea...

And I guess that's true Paddywagon Man, but I could have done that Galvantula trap better. Either way, that whole thing makes me wonder just how bad Goldsilver is gonna crash and burn when the time comes... I hope we all die by !!!Ho-Oh!!!, that would be hilarious after what I did in my prelude.

593
Looks good so far, I am curious however what Dustox's stats could be.
Cascoon's truant and just its stats in general really suck though.
I suppose if you wanted to evolve it you could get an exp share and level it up with that.

(Stats: HP / ATK / DEF / SPE / SP.A / SP.D)

It wouldn't even be completely unsalvageable if it didn't have Truant...

594
Well, I had planned to slow-cook this LP for a bit to let people choose, but... ah, what the heck, I'm feeling a bit too excited to play this. Sorry, guys! Don't worry, I'll have plenty of choices for everyone down the road.

My friends were yelling at me to pick Marshtomp, but sorry, I have to go with my dwarves on this one, and Puppyguard was the one voter choosing Omastar (with a pretty nice analysis, I like looking at analysis...es? Analysi? Analyses? Who knows). Either way, I was kind of looking at Omastar myself...



...so it looks like we'll be using Omastar! Of course it gets a painfully overspecialized movepool, but what can you do?



First and most likely last time I'll ever use Rollout considering how dangerous it can be to your Pokemon since they get locked into it... unless you're a stupid Scyther... grumble grumble.



Our starter Warpstone (I'll probably attempt to not do as many DF references this time unless I get a really good one, but I had to name the starter one at least, even if it's Masterwork-exclusive) starts off with Trace, and Careful nature, which... could be worse I guess, Omastar is tanky and does want the Special Defense, but Special Attack... then again, it might be a while until we get any decent Special moves on this thing.



He also came with a TM, that contains...



...Oh, that's pretty sick. Too bad Warpstone can't learn it; not like I'll teach it anyway.



I don't implement Nuzlocke rules until we get Pokeballs, but first route had a lot of trash Pokemon...



Really trash Pokemon (it was just Bug-type).



Some trash Pokemon attempted to be saved from the trash bin, but it didn't really work out for them.



May's route, however, had a lot more interesting Pokemon. (Still died in one hit, it was Dark/Flying)



I grind up a few levels...



AND IT WAS A BATTLE FOR THE AGES.







Then Warpstone got the Ancientpower boost, and it was pretty much over.



So, first route, first Pokemon! I don't have really high hopes, since we encountered that Poochyena, Slugma, and a Spinarak I never screenshotted, but I'm not expecting much for our first encounter!



SWEET JESUS.

Grass Type
Hyper Cutter/Trace Ability
HP - 119
ATK - 71
DEF - 70
SPE - 95
SP.A - 53
SP.D - 123


Damn, it's one hell of a wall! Special Attack is left to be desired, but that's a small price to pay!



It had a Super Effective move...



...but we got it first try!







I updated moves to their S&M variants, so Giga Drain is actually useful! Hooray!



Eh, I wouldn't have taught her Sludge Bomb anyway...

Our next encounter is...



Oh, sweet!

Normal Type
White Smoke Ability
HP - 92
ATK - 65
DEF - 95
SPE - 123
SP.A - 63
SP.D - 77


Not the most impressive, but I still want it!



...I forgot to buy more Pokeballs, but I have 4, so we can do our best!





We'll just have to try to catch it at yellow, then...



Damn it.



Damn it!



DAMN IT!



Armok, bless my last ball!



DAMN IT!



...Really? Just to taunt me, you're gonna pull out the best boosting move in this game?... Thanks.



Damn it!



LET'S NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.



Warpstone is a bit overpowered, so I decide to try and get some levels on The Wall so that she can do some better damage...



...Or she would, if Seviper weren't Flying-type.



But hey, she still jumped two levels!



Next encounter! I won't ask for anything better since I got that awesome Walrein, but I'm fine as long as it's not-



...No...

...NO!

NOOOO!!!

I WATCHED YOU DIE TWICE ALREADY!!! ONCE IN MY LOST SAVE FILE, AND THE OTHER WHEN NORMAN WIPED MY TEAM!!! WHY WON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, DAMN IT!?

Electric/Dark Type
Marvel Scale/Soundproof Ability

SP.D - 17


Ohhh... it sucks... it sucks so bad...



Just kill it. Just kill it; it won't ever see the light of day...



NOOO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? THAT'S THE WRONG MOVE, WALL!



BUT IT WAS SO CLOSE TO DYING!!! NOOOO!!!



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





I hate my life. I hate my life so badly.



You learning an inferior grass move doesn't help!



I feel actually obligated to train this awful thing now... maybe Dustox or Beautifly won't be so bad...



 >:(



Don't even feel safe switching it in on a damn Bug-type Qwilfish...



Found a Big Pearl, at least!



WHY DOES THIS GAME TAUNT ME!?

I want Armok back :(



Yeah, yeah, let's get this over with...



Oh, jeez, Wally, that Tackle was a bit overkill, but at least you can catch it now!



Uh, Wally, that's not how you-



...Uh... okay?



...What? You didn't catch shit! You killed it in cold blood! You laughed as you watched that Zigzagoon maul it to death! I can still see the Zigzagoon feasting on its innards- oh, God, I thought I was getting away from Dwarf Fortress!



HE DIDN'T CATCH SHIT!



Maybe I'll find something good here to actually properly catch...



Hey, not bad! Maybe- wait...

Electric/Ice Type
Magma Armor Ability
HP - 50
ATK - 145
DEF - 105
SPE - 53
SP.A - 49
SP.D - 38


Okay, that's pretty damn good. In fact, that is so damn good... you know how I randomized abilities?



Slaking won't have Truant.



Get in.



(Naive Nature, more speed and less special defense, pretty nice) I was expecting it to have Electric and Ice moves that really didn't capitalize on that amazing attack, but holy shit! We're gonna be rolling in dead bodies tonight!



Nope, still no Sludge Bomb...



Hey! I'm the only one here who can Trace! Get your own ability!



How the tables have turned. 8)



Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god-



Oh.



Thought I made a big bad mistake by switching in on it, but it all worked out.



Petalburg Woods! What will we find here?



Well, at least it's not Wurmple.

Ghost Type
Magnet Pull/Trace Ability (what's with all the Pokemon knowing Trace?)
HP - 78
ATK - 52
DEF - 81
SPE - 74
SP.A - 63
SP.D - 57


You'll do fine.



It's a Ghost-type that knows Hyper Voice. It's literally screaming for me to put it out of its misery.



Too bad! It's indentured servitude time!





Once again, reminder that these nicknames are all usually temporary and I will allow as many suggestions to nicknames as wanted. I figured I would name it after what it was screaming. That movepool is damn nice, though!

And now that we got a Ghost-type...



Haha!



JESUS CHRIST.



I feel bad for everything else now.



Jesus christ, finally... If you don't evolve into a nuclear tank, I'll cover you in sugarless gummy and sell you on Amazon.



Electric/Poison Type
Truant Ability
HP - 36
ATK - 56
DEF - 26
SPE - 17
SP.A - 14
SP.D - 56


Okay, I kind of like Dustox, so- WAIT.

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK.



NO, SHUT UP. GO BACK. WHAT.



................



GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT



YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE WITH THE OTHERS



AND STAY THERE FOREVER.


Well, glossing over that awful mistake...



ARE YOU MOCKING ME, GAME?



ARTISAN TIA. ALL BOW TO HIS MIGHT AND HIS



UNOWN.



Which is also Steel-type.



No, you're just terrible.



Next time; we take on Roxanne and hopefully she won't have a Scyther...

595
If there's any left? We've got 30 if not more, and the cages in the caverns keep catching more. I'll put you down for 5 if you want them, and I'm thinking about throwing the rest into a pit and then having said pit be the caged prisoner/berserk animal disposal.
Hang onto those Joltiks and at least keep 'em safe until they evolve, I'd say; if there's anything I learned from Pocketball thanks to everyone, it was that Galvantula are really useful for their webbing ability, able to web even clowns. In fact, their webbing ability was the only reason my incompetence didn't get everyone murdered that time.

596
RedMageCole, you most definitely do not owe us any sort of apology.  If anything, this world owes you an apology for being a wretched pile of rubbish.

I, for one, am amazed by your ability to not give up despite it all.  I've already accepted that I'm lost, so I don't really understand your view.  I hope you find what you need, and that luck will be with you.
Thank you. :) I really do appreciate that, but I still do owe you guys a check-in every so often. But I do hope that you can hopefully find your own way one day, and I wish equal amounts of luck to you as well!

597
Hey, remember this thing I abandoned so long ago? Let's continue it! I'm reviving a bunch of my projects and I'm ready to revive this one.

So, I have good news, bad news, and even worse news.

Bad news is, I lost the original ROM.

Worse news is, this means no more Soul Dew Armok. Please feel free to punish me by baking me above lava mist as I get whipped into a fine meaty paste by naked elves.

Good news is, at least we don't have to deal with Wormy ever again (hopefully).



I pray for Armok's blessing once more as we restart. Once more, I will be counting on you all to determine my starter for me.


Dark Type
Levitate Ability
HP - 86
ATK - 76
DEF - 72
SP.A - 89
SP.D - 34
SPE - 49


I had one of these when I recently attempted a Emerald Nuzlocke, just vanilla. He was the biggest boss motherfucker there was... until he and the rest of my team wiped on goddamn Norman. Either way, looks like a solid choice.


Rock Type
Trace Ability
HP - 122
ATK - 38
DEF - 32
SP.A - 143
SP.D - 65
SPE - 95


Well, it's... interesting. Rock type with terrible Attack and amazing Special Attack... it could be maybe worth using if it learns anything decently special attacking. Otherwise, it dies to a single Fighting-type move.

Either way, better than...


Rock/Fire Type (yes, the one typing worse than Ice/Flying)
Color Change Ability (haha)
HP - 36
ATK - 22
DEF - 54
SP.A - 22
SP.D - 108
SPE - 87


I will find and kill all of you, shut down this LP and never look back if you elves pick this for me because picking this might as well be a giant game over.

Go ahead and choose.

598
Thank you Imic and Glass, I appreciate it.

And huh, didn't know that; you learn something new every day, I guess! But no, sorry if I confused you; there's no doc at the moment, I just pondered over the idea of a document that showed all the Pokemon we have in the fort that are unclaimed so people can get the Pokemon they want. Also, hooray for teeth-elf slaughter!

That's perfect; I purposely assigned myself to be an astronomer when I first started the fort. That means I haven't died yet! Please not the mines I promise I'll be more active I swear

Hello, everyone!

I'm gonna be honest... these past few months (I think that's how long I was gone, jesus) have not been too great for me, and overall I've stopped coming to Bay12Forums. I ended up dropping a lot of websites I used to go to, but lately I've told myself I'm going to pick myself up and start getting back to everything.

I never got to write everyone a post apologizing and clearing up everything that was going on. I have been back into college and this year has been rough; I've been trying to find a job recently but have had very little luck, which has been putting me into a bit of a tantrum spiral of my own as I try to figure out what exactly I'm supposed to do with my life.

I've lost friend after friend as well, which really didn't help my mood.

But today, I vowed to try and get back on my feet. It starts with trying to apply to everywhere I possibly can work for a job, it starts with trying to get my grades in college up, and it starts with owing everyone I owe an apology. And I owe you all an apology; an apology for having neglected this fort for so long and an apology for not updating it or giving you guys an update on how I was doing.

But I promise that I'm going to do better now. I'm planning on one day in my spare time going back and updating the front page with all of the posts. I figure the doc may be a bust, but maybe that can be a thing one day, just so MottledPetrel (hey, I just noticed, that's the name of that one Rocket Admin in HGSS with all the Koffings) doesn't have to be confused on who wants what Pokemon.

All in all, I'm sorry for everything and I understand if some of you might be angry with me, but please know that I am doing only the best that I can do. And I want to continue to support this fort. One day I might even look forward to making Rubysapphire for the new update; it could be fun.

I promise that I'm gonna try to do better from now on, guys. Thank you for your patience.

One of the reasons I love Dwarf Fortress is because when you say that we'll love the Mega Medicham fight, it's either... that's the fun part; there's literally no way to tell what's going to happen. You can broaden it to "we oneshotted it, everyone survived" or "fort over, gg" but how it got there is the fun part.

I'm hyped for this update.
