Oh right, I never even thought of that. Thanks for letting me know, I'll delete my post and re-command later when I'm not so tired.

Just a few questions, though: Are any negative priority moves exempt to this, or are they all treated the same way? Like, would the fact that Vital Throw is -1 priority make a difference over a move that's -3 priority?
- How would moves such as Counter interact with this ruling? Would I not be able to command Zack to "use Counter if Lillibeth uses a physical move, otherwise use X"?
- Are high priority moves affected in any way? Would I be able to command him to "use Vacuum Wave if she does X, otherwise use Y" and still get the priority boost?

Sorry for the heaps of questions! And hopefully they're not worded too awkwardly, I should really be sleeping right now.

I haven't ever managed to get that many in a single pop, but I've had several where I was doing, like, 4~6 jobs in a dungeon and there were 2~3 traveling Pokémon. And then sometimes there were starving Pokémon on top of that.

Good thing that instead of going that far I've just been doing a lot of jobs. Copiously many at once.

I wish I had the option of just saying "Grrroooaaarrr!" back.

You know, as a timid human-Chespin.

I had already made a comment about the squad thing! Anyway it should be fixed now.

It's a very prickly situation, but, if your rule isn't wrong or arbitrary, you're within your rights to enforce it. Even in a tournament battle, it's only inevitable that some things in ASB don't go exactly like people were planning. If you want to give the commanding trainer a heads-up, you're free to, but you'll want to do it before the other trainer issues commands, since exploiting a loophole in the opponent's commands is within their rights.

If nothing else, Focus Punch in particular is a move people can't cry foul about being unable to use reactively. Even the battle messages in the games make it pretty clear that the move's charging spans nearly an entire turn, so you have to dedicate no less than that much time to using it.

Goach?

Hrmm, kinda tricky, but I'd interpret "not being able to hit her" as situations where it's completely impossible, like if she was using Protect or out of range after using Bounce or something. With Double Team, it's still possible to attack her, just more difficult. So, I'd still have Sefer use Earth Power in that situation.

Yes. All too well.

Heh, that's pretty interesting. They've really done a lot in PSMD to make some moves actually fit in the roguelike environment. (Even if Transform is now hell in a delectable blob-shaped package.)

Hmmm, I don't think I've seen. Mightyena are weak to Pin Missile so they usually don't get to attack me.

As far as moves that mess with held items go, though, permanently losing a Joy Looplet to a dumbass confused temporary teammate using Trick wasn't as adorable.

They basically just made every single nod they could.

You would deny the leader of the mighty Team Constrictor?

I'm aware of it working for Blinker Seed and the like. It working for stat-up drinks is news to me though.

Huh, that's ridiculous. I'm going to do it, but that's ridiculous.

... Oh, now I get it.

I'm probably mixing up names, but isn't the Water Looplet that one with like just two notches and the effect of letting you throw things across unlimited distances? (If there's a Looplet that affects stat-boosting items, though, I do have a giant hoard of those, so, that looks like profit in the works...)

What did you do?

That Banette goes on to explain that it feeds off the nasty feelings, doesn't it.

So MF said I should ask you about Horsea's air swimming! He also said he didn't see a problem with it. I'm going to send her out, but if there's an issue with it, let me know and I can modify my commands/throw her over the side right away.
