Over the past few weeks, I've found myself putting several battles in BP:WiH in a Pokemon battle-esque form. I've been posting them up as the topic on the BP beta testers' IRC channel on EsperNet, but I was "encouraged" by The E to create a thread on them if I'm fine with running the risk of getting :wtf: stares and :lol: as well as being reminded that HLP is neither a democracy or dictatorship.
Now bear in mind that while these are done in nearly the same vein as a wild Pokemon encounter or Pokemon battle, they are not exactly the same.
By the way, everything here contains spoilers.

You, Sir, are a sick, sick man. What were you smoking when you came up with that? and where can I get some?

GTVA ADM. STEELE wants to fight!
The best part.

Just for the record, there are a lot more of these, but they can get quite messy if I factor in everything, or in certain missions like Forced Entry...
You, Sir, are a sick, sick man. What were you smoking when you came up with that? and where can I get some?
Thanks. I'm not exactly sure how I ended up linking the two, but I don't think boredom was part of the reason. I probably had a brainwave one day, while beta-testing WiH, and I realised that Calder and Steele's "subspace chess" was a scaled down version of how the UEF-GTVA war is, and chess is turn-based, in the same way that Pokemon battles are turn-based. I ended up trying to look at as many battles in BP as possible like a Pokemon battle for fun. The ones I've posted so far are the ones I've come up with.

Enemy J.E.HOOVER used DISABLE!
TOUTATIS's APOCALYPSE is disabled!
Okay... I'm sorry, but as an obsessive Pokemon freak:
Disable can only disable the last move used. If one tried to use it before the opponent did anything, it would fail.
Anyway, sorry, nitpicking over. In truth, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. :wakka:
And Snail's picture is win. :yes:

Snail : Turn it into an animated gif and you'll earn a cookie.

nice idea man, I lol'd a bit :D

DM: Okay, so last session, you had just defeated the SD Eva, but we had to break before I could hand out XP. Alpha wing, you each get 400 XP.
Alpha 1: Sweet! I leveled! I get a new feat at this level, right?
Alpha 3: What? How are you so far ahead of us?
Alpha 1: I had that solo session in the Dragon, remember?
Alpha 3: Oh, right...
Alpha 2: Okay, first, LOOT! Then we need a short rest.
DM: Actually, no loot for this session... because before you can rest, you get an urgent message from Command! The Galatea is under attack! What do you do?
Alpha 2: Well, I guess we return to the Galatea then. We have time to rearm, right?
DM: Sure, go ahead.
Alpha 1: Okay, so we're going to jump to the Galatea. What do we see?
DM: The Galatea is damaged and surrounded by a wing of Basilisks, a wing of Manticores, and two wings of Nephilim bombers. When they see you, the Manticores turn and charge! Roll initiative!
Alpha 2: 19.
Alpha 3: Ugh. Only an 8.
Alpha 1: I got a 27!
Alpha 2: Geez, how come you always roll so high...
DM: OK, Alpha 1, you're up first, then the Manticores.
Alpha 1: I hit my burners and dual-fire my Synaptic Bombs! Can I borrow your dice, guys?
Alpha 3: We have Synaptics? I didn't use any last mission.
Alpha 1: There weren't enough to go around, so I gave you Hornets instead. Can I roll for damage?
DM: Sure. That's fifteen hits on four fighters. This one dies, these two are bloodied. Any other actions?
Alpha 1: Hmm, I've already moved and attacked... I'll activate my turret.
DM: Alright, Manticores' turn. Alpha 2, you're up next. Since you're closest, they all go for you, Alpha 1.
Alpha 1: Immediate interrupt, my turret fires at the first one to attack me.
DM: That's this damaged one. Roll your attack.
Alpha 1: OH YEAH! NATURAL 20! Eat my Avenger, Shivan scum!
DM: Wow, that's... enough to kill it. The other ones attack... and miss... and hit. 12 points of damage.
Alpha 1: No problem, it all goes to my shields.
DM: Alright, Alpha 2 is up, then the Basilisks.
Alpha 2: Okay, I'm gonna go for the bombers. Are there any bombs in flight?
DM: There's one over here, on the other side of these Nephilims. Your movement would provoke opportunity attacks from their turrets.
Alpha 2: I'll go for it. I'll use my burners, then Prometheus on the bomb. Does a 16 hit?
DM: Yeah, you shoot down the bomb, good job. Let me roll my turret attacks. Seven hits!
Alpha 2: Wait, SEVEN? Can I do a Knowledge check? How many turrets do Nephilims have? I got a 21.
DM: Nephilim bombers have four turrets each.
Alpha 2: Ouch. Well, there go my shields... next?
DM: Me, then the bombers. Well, the Basilisks are assigned to escort the bombers, so they're going to attack you, Alpha 2.
Alpha 2: Crap.
DM: They're not moving, so they get to use primary and secondary weapons with heavy lasers and swarm missiles. That's a lot of damage, but not enough to kill you, right?
Alpha 2: Uh... well, normally I'd be OK, but we never repaired after the last mission, so I'm toast. Sorry guys.
Alpha 3: Oh man!
DM: Alright, the bombers fire another salvo at the Galatea and recharge their turrets. Alpha 3, you're up, then it's top of the round again.
Alpha 3: Bombers are priority, so I'm going after the nearest Nephilim with my Hornets.
DM: Good hits, but not enough to go through their shields. They're going to regenerate that next turn.
Alpha 3: Ugh. I hate this game. I should have played "Star Wars" with Jim.
Alpha 1: Is it my turn yet? I wanna kill more Shivans!
DM: Lucifer arrives. Everyone dies.

In the same way that the UEF was able to send out more than three subjects against a lone PEGASUS. :drevil:

We need a Freespace (and subsequently Blue Planet) pen & paper tabletop strategy game with roleplaying elements. NAO!
I guess a pokemon Romhack, as funny as the above read was, would be pushing it. (implying that it wasn't just a joke to begin with :p)
And Snails pic, I literally lol'd.

And I thought I was the Pokémon nerd, Androgeous :lol:
