Plotting Meme: October

[these_balls]

PLOT DISCUSSION

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is for general, game-wide or location-wide plots, larger-scale player plots, and general plotting ideas. This is not a CR meme.
→ The idea of this post is to help generate discussion, inspire, or plot out overall plots, as well as bounce ideas off of your fellow players and moderators. We will also be letting everyone know the overall ideas of what we'll have coming up, and you can give us input on those as well!
→ Please play nice while discussing things! Remember, it's okay to disagree, but be polite!

MOD PLOTS:
→ A special swarm will begin on the 23rd of October and last until the 28th. More information will be given out soon!
→ The mods are holding a tournament in November. The timeline is currently unknown (it depends on how many participants we have) but we anticipate it going for a good chunk of November!

Apollo didn't fill out the survey because he can't read and listening to the text reader for something that long annoys him, and he hasn't responded to the various Science! posts because he doesn't get what's going on/they don't sound interesting/he's not a nerd, buuuut he could fit in with this. He can "talk" to Pokémon and ask them things, and he's well on his way to knowing what all the edible and medicinal plants are here, both for humans and Pokémon. Once spring comes he'll be trying to plant various Berries and stuff from the PokéMarts, so he'll be a source of hands-on knowledge about that stuff, including the nightmare of trying to grow the Sitrus Berry he won from the Bug-Catching Contest, which according to the mods is from a warmer climate and will be hard to take care of.

So just leaving this out here even though I have no idea how to get him to talk about this stuff with Reid.

Well, I can definitely see him managing to be worked into the plot. Reid is mainly dealing with the mental and emotional effects of Pokemon/the world that shouldn't happen, whereas Albert's been dealing with the stuff in the physical realm. You should probably talk to Alex about Apollo and Albert somehow talking about the berries, because I think the nerd duo would find that very useful. :3

Reid's pretty set for talking to the Pokemon, though, because he's friends with Fluttershy and has a psychic Pokemon who's happy to translate for him.

*nods*

Fluttershy's better at it than him. He has to be near the Pokémon and can't communicate anything too complex; it's just a series of concepts and images. Fluttershy can do it over the Gear and just talk, while he has to use one of his Pokémon as a "translator" of sorts if he wants to do it over the Gear.
