Altoram Dept. Store II (Now with Sprites!)

Lord of the Fireflies

Back in black.
ArchenAltoram Dept. Store IITirtouga


Just outside the busy streets of ASB Central (and its regional border) lies a building the likes of which cannot be found anywhere outside a League-controlled region. Inside its doors you will find shelves upon shelves of... absolutely nothing. The rows are never stocked. However, customers never come for what's on the shelves, they come for what's behind the padlocked, sliding (bulletproof) glass cases: discontinued TMs.

You see, every time the Pokémon League decides that a certain TM has been around long enough, Pokémarts everywhere just ship them to storage houses in Orre or similar places. Altoram Dept. Store does not.

You see, since it's outside any League-controlled region, the Altoram Dept. Store cannot suffer any of the repercussions of selling discontinued TMs. The TMs are still quite old, however, and so they wouldn't function quite the same as one of the more recent TMs. For example, a Pokémon who is taught more than one TM move bought here can suffer from severe health problems, so using multiple TMs on one Pokémon is against store policy.

Also, using a TM on a Pokémon who was discovered in, or has relatives that were discovered in the generation the TM was used in is rather pointless, as it is clearly not going to be able to use it. The same goes for a Pokémon that exists in a generation that has the move as a tutor. Additionally, a Pokémon wouldn't be able to even use one of these TMs if it does not have the necessary organs to use them (ThunderPunch Torterra) or the idea of the Pokémon would be simply batshit insane (BubbleBeam Torkoal).

The store got a few upgrades after his previous owner left Asber for a spiritual enhancement trip and never came back, as well as the arrival of a fifth generation that brought several new old TMs to the shelves – all of them are sorted by Generation and TM number for your inconvenience.

Squirtle already learns Bubblebeam; this business is for Pokémon in later generations who would learn the move were it a TM in its generation.
 
Re: Altoram Dept. Store II

Could I buy Fissure for a No Guard Machop?

I'm guessing no due to being overpowered, but

Machop already has fissure, even if it weren't disqualified by the "being in the same generation as the TM" rule.

Maybe that part should be bolded in the rules or something.

*facepalm*

Just teach it to my Elgyem, Luke Skywalker..
Elgyem doesn't get any water moves and the bubblebeam TM was never usable on any psychic-types that weren't also ice-typed or Mew, so I don't think that's a viable target, either.
 
Re: Altoram Dept. Store II

Go on, then.

EDIT: Also guys, please check the gen of your pokémon, then the gen of the TM, then the gen of the Pokémon again just to be sure and then ask if that Pokémon could learn the move. I don't want any more "Could my Gen One Poke learn that Gen One TM" the answer is no.

Actually, Gen One mons have nothing to do with that business since they have access to all the TMs technically.
 
Re: Altoram Dept. Store II

So let me get this straight how this works.

Let's say there's a TM of a move that is plausible for a pokemon to learn, but that pokemon is not from the same generation as the TM, therefore not granting them access. This shop lets the pokemon use that move? (e.x. Reuniclus can now use teleport)

Is that right?
 
Re: Altoram Dept. Store II

Yup, exactly. Sure, you could buy Teleport for Reuniclus at Kratos' shop, but if you're smart you will prioritize small entrepreneurs like me :D

Also I can teach off-type moves (If they make sense)
 
Re: Altoram Dept. Store II

I'll give my honest opinion, but Negrek will have to double-check anyways so it's not a final approval.

sreservoir

Yes for Bide, Teleport, Sky Attack and Mimic on Drifloon.

Yes to Teleport on Misdreavus.

Skylark

Yes to both.
