I mean, I guess it's probably because they're so tiny? And if he evolved... eh, but if he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to. Not my place to push him one way or the other.<br /><br /><small>[Ryner is on one of the sturdier branches of a tree, lazing back against the trunk as though he's considering taking a nap right there (he probably is) and watching his party go about their business down below. It would appear as though five large pieces of paper with X-shaped targets drawn on them have been spaced out over the ground, and five of the six 'mons are eyeing them intently.<br /><br />The sixth, the Joltik in question (wearing a tiny top hat), is standing on a stump in front of them, and with a "Tik!!" raises one of his front legs.<br /><br />At that point, there is a loud roar, as all five of the other Pokemon - a Clefairy, an Absol, a Wigglytuff, an Audino, and a Staryu - use Thunder at the same time. All of them strike their targets true, except the Clefairy, who frowns with a pout.]</small><br /><br />Not that it's that big of a deal, though. Thunderbolt's better anyway. Sure, Thunder gets you more power, if that's what you're going for, but look at the cost.<br /><br /><small>["Tik!!" The Joltik raises his leg again, and another roar happens as another round of Thunders go off. This time, only the Clefairy and Staryu hit their targets.]</small><br /><br />Seriously, that lack of accuracy is pretty terrible. If it was Izuchi, I'd much rather go for a version that pinpointed exactly where I wanted it to go over power. ...Ahh, well, actually I'd be most likely to go for casting speed, honestly, but that's not really the point, and that doesn't really seem to matter as much for Pokemon anyway...<br /><br />Besides, if you don't hit the right thing, you could end up causing damage where you don't--<br /><br /><small>["Tik!!" Once again, the roar and Thunders go off. This time, the only one who misses is the Staryu, whose Thunder hits dangerously close to the tree Ryner's in. Ryner is not amused.]</small><br /><br />Hey! Watch where you're aiming that, Arius! Don't make me regret teaching you that as a reward for good behavior already...<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=tearsofademon&ditemid=24333" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://tearsofademon.dreamwidth.org/24333.html what a pain the partners will play tiny!spider wanted a tag too magic nerdery *game: route 29 public 12
