It was not meant to be a criticism. All it was supposed to mean is that you seem comfortable enough adjusting to changing conditions, as you said. [ adjusting to both that and an altered shape. certainly seems to have gotten the hang of being a bird verrry quickly, considering flight is no simple thing. ] Not everyone here is. That's all.

Besides. 'If' doesn't matter. You are what you are here. You are a Rookidee so you will fight as a Rookidee does. You will have Rookidee strengths and Rookidee limitations. Forcing yourself unnecessarily to take on situations that you are not the best suited to handle— like battling somewhere that grrrreatly limits your mobility— doesn't help you or your partner. You will be frustrated with the restriction. Either with yourself or the environment around you. Your partner will have to put more effort into covering you than actually battling at their fullest.

[ they've gotten a little away from the typing and the simplified, hypothetical battle scenarios, but this is basically adjacent to doubles and multis talk, which means Emmet can chatter on about it. ]

For example. I am Emmet. I would not take Ingo with me if we had to go to the ocean.

[ not unless Ingo really, reaaaaally insisted on it for some reason. much as he'd like to attach himself to his twin for as many missions as possible, that's simply not feasible. on a slightly different note... huh, that second thing looks something like every other— okay, maybe every third or fourth— ghost move, depending on how the Pokemon in question uses them. ]

You mentioned using curse. Did you have to pay a cost for that?
