((... that is not a Pokemon.))
No, it isn't. It's a sensible, organised way of discussing this. Not that that would occur to you Finarfinians, but some of us come from Houses that make plans.
((...))
The chart shows that we're somewhat out of luck here. Team Iximaz have five crippling weaknesses - Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. But as our team markers on the bottom show, we outright can't touch three of those, and one of the others - Poison - we only have one move for. We can hit Fire, so Aglon and Iris will be getting a major workout in this battle.
((You know we're not actually fighting, right?))
And whose fault is that? Roll the Pokedemons.
Everlasting Dark! What is that? It looks like a mutant toad with a tree growing on it.
Well, at least it doesn't change when it 'Mega Evolves'.
((Much as I'd love to disagree with you... no, it kind of doesn't.))
So let's call it Sulimo, after someone else who didn't change even when he should have. As my chart shows, Sulimo here is vulnerable to both Fire and Psychic. That latter means most of our team can take him on; if we look at his moves, we see that he'll have a seriously hard time hitting Iris, so in goes the Rainbow Goddess. Next!
((That was almost a reasoned discussion. You're going to get a reputation if you keep going like this.))
I said NEXT!
... it's a lizard with a mushroom stuck on its head. So it grew up in a cave? I'm going to call it Felagund.
((HEY!))
Felagund is weak. To Psychic.
((Oh just stop.))
That gives us lots of options... but for thematic purposes, I'm going to say use Sauron on him. I think we all know how that will end.
Remind me, are these ones themed 'Cheerful Horror-type'? Because that's terrifying. Though with that dancer pose, it reminds me of Melian... I'm calling it Melian.
((Didn't you already pick on Queen Melian once?))
Many, many more times than once. Melian has a massive Fire weakness, and nothing terribly good against Iris, so the glorious rainbow of House Feanor once again beats the forest-dwelling dancer.
((... are you seriously bragging about the Second Kinslaying?))
... I was thinking of something else, I promise.
((Uh-huh.))
You're right; if that was the point I was making, it would have been an awful one.
((Should I tell your wife about this?))
Let's just move on.
...
OH COME ON. I just used up my Melian reference! This one even has a crown! Can I go back and change it?
((Nope. You burned that ship behind you...))
Go jump off an iceberg. Fine. I'm calling this one Finarfin.
((... why...?))
To irritate you. Finarfin is a weakling pansy who runs away all the time--
((Dafydd...))
-- and is weak to the same things as everyone else. Since all he can hit with is Grass, let's mix things up and send in Arnyelle to poison him to death.
That's a tree.
((So was 'Finarfin'.))
No, he was a useless coward. This is a genuine tree. I think Cirdan grew them down at Eglarest. So let's call it-
((Cirdan?))
No, Hirilorn. Because it's so... 'majestic'.
((My patience is seriously wearing thin.))
My caring ran out a long time ago. Hirilorn is... hey, Psychic is our gimmick! Figures the Queen of Trees would steal from us, just like the Queen of Doriath stole our glory.
((You mean by being actually capable of defending her realm?))
Yes, that. We can either use Sauron against Hirilorn to hit a Ghost weakness, or go back to Iris and Fire on the grounds that Hirilorn can't really touch her.
And that... is just a goat.
((You're still going to give it an offensive name, though.))
What gave you that impression? I was going to name it after one of my tough, mountain-bred horses.
((Oh, well, that's--))
But if you'd prefer offensive, I'll call it Turin, after yet another scruffy mortal.
... what, no objection?
((Yeah, I'm not too fond of Turin myself. Remember what he did to Nargothrond?))
... is it too late to change it?
((Yes.))
Bother. Well, Turin is virtually identical to Finarfin - they were both useless cowards who got their own people killed -
((HEY!))
Heh, gotcha - except that he could hit Arnyelle's weakness if he wanted.
So we'll just send in Aglon to punch him on fire. Problem solved!
