-> file: messages/1013 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── peace is on the opposite side of conflict. Not here with the unfair. peace is eternally elusive only to those who are use-ed. peace is eternally internal next to those who are lucid. peace is necessary. peace is useful. peace is helpful. peace is beloved. peace is not always there. it is skittish, like an alley cat, but it will come if you make offerings. offer peace to me. I will nourish thee. offer war to me. I will devastate all who see me. there comes a time when all foes become blind, when your motives are no longer part of their story. at that time, they are lost to you, and they are only confused as to the things you do. they may heal in time. there may not be time. sacrifice your fallen to me, sacrifice them on the altar of tragedy, I will bane your broken resolutions I will claim your darkest allusions. fight for me, in spite of tragedy, and I will send mercy to your victims. fight for me, if you hold peace dearly, and I will sign fate's next ultimatum. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: messages/1014 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── Okay, that should be enough to bury it for a while.

Hey wouldn't you know it that's just enough for a pokemon team wouldn't that be a neat proof of concept. Also there's flying built into the game, and you can teleport and run really fast so like, just animate your character hopping on one of your pokemon's back and you've got travel powers or whatever. I don't play Pokemon very much hehe but I like the aesthetics. https://wiki.ourodev.com/Volume_2_Build instead of abilities on your action bar, you'd have movement commands for each individual pokemon. They'd use their abilities automatically and periodically, and there'd be lots of knockbacks, crowd-control, and target switching.
