So I don't want to pre-empt Schazer posting anything about this herself but the new version came out so I decided to nail down a character before I started second-guessing myself too much. I also slightly edited the character sheet you are stealing from me so if anyone had downloaded it in advance they'll probably want to make a new copy.
But then I found something that I thought I should probably ask you about before writing onto my sheet:
If I told you that I realised I could take Type Sync at level 3 and use it to begin the campaign already owning fire/ghost gastly how receptive to that would you be
I was looking and gastly's line kind of doesn't really learn any moves, capabilities or abilities that reference the fact that it is poison type at all... So while it'd be neat if we could give it a new levelled move list actually pretty much all you'd have to do if that sounds like too much effort is change what TMs I could teach it.
And it doesn't take much thinking to reinterpret Gastly as a Will-o'-the-wisp either.
Also Slorange not much has changed to invalidate your general kind of direction but Cheerleader now requires a prerequisite of a new feature "Inspired Training" which you don't have because it didn't exist when you made your character, and also most of the features within the class have changed a bit too, so you're probably going to want to give them another once over. To start with you essentially get Motivate for free.
I think it might actually leave you with a stronger character than you had originally so there's not a lot to complain about there.
Also your pokemon have 42 + 47 stat points which works out a little over 80, unless I'm understanding this system wrong.
I'm not entirely sure this ends up as the best way of balancing things when it costs you about 90% of your budget for the pokemon and then one additional point per level but I think I can work within it (or rather, I'm pretty happy to start at level 4)
