PMD: Seventeen Plates DT

@Tortwag, the Plates already have names. ^_^ You can find them in this article on Bulbapedia. And yes, the Zap Plate is free, so you can consider it reserved. However, you will have to ask @Robusto to send you the description of the MD where it's located, and as soon as you see where that is, you'll realise that even just learning where it is will be nigh-impossible, not to mention actually finding it.

Everyone, here are the Plates and their status:
~ Meadow Plate - to be found by Zulu, Twinkiel, Ren or Frost
~ Flame Plate - already found and guarded by Ren
~ Splash Plate - already found by Zulu, guarded by Lugia
~ Sky Plate - reserved by @Robusto for Zulu
~ Insect Plate - unreserved
~ Toxic Plate - reserved by @AstralHunter for Gabriel and Riley
~ Zap Plate - reserved by @Tortwag for Twinkiel
~ Mind Plate - unreserved
~ Stone Plate - unreserved
~ Earth Plate - to be found by Jewels
~ Dread Plate - to be found by Bloodmoon
~ Spooky Plate - unreserved
~ Iron Plate - reserved by @AstralHunter for Gabriel
~ Fist Plate - reserved by @AstralHunter
~ Icicle Plate - reserved by somebody
~ Draco Plate - reserved by @Robusto
~ Pixie Plate - already found by the New Order

As you can see, if you want a Plate, reserve it! They sell out faster than hot cakes. (If that's the correct expression.)

I know it'll have to wait a while, but I'd like Flurry to be in whatever group gets the mind or spooky plates. (This is an either/and situation. She could help with one or both dungeons.)

@AstralHunter Wha... But I thought the plates were better version of the Arceus plates found in Gen IV O.o Well, my bad.
That and I get easily confused with Pokémon names and item names, as they're quite different in French.
Yes, I already PMed Robusto, but you kinda told us all NOT to plan anything after Meadow and Toxic Plate, so I'll ask for the description later. I can wait

Faster than hot cakes you say? Welp, mine's reserved already, so I'm fine here :p
(Actually, it's "faster than cupcakes". You're welcome )

ooooooooh, I'd LOVE to be in the Mind Plate's group as well! I WANT to fight a Mega Alakazam oooooooh, but then again, mega Gengar for the Spooky plate as a guardian... Goooooood, this is so exciting! Those would be a secondary reservations I guess, cause Zap Plate's first.

I believe I'm going to ask to reserve the Spooky Plate. I need to reserve one of them, after all, and the experience could be very emotionally unnerving for Riley. I'll PM you for it officially Robusto.

Oh no, @Tortwag, you can still reserve Plates, I simply meant don't plan with whom you'll be getting them or under what circumstances. That will change during a later event... You'll have to wait to find out what.

@Charizard821, that sounds great!

@AstralHunter
...Oh. OH YES. MOAR CUPCAKES.
Then I'll go ahead and reserve the Insect Plate as my secondary choice. That'll be all for now.

ooookkkk, whos next?

Posted.

I really DO NOT know how to make short posts. I don't even know why. I...I just can't D:

@Verser Well Frost's in the forest with Fleedjio and Celebi, and they fell together, they can all fly. And Ariala was on Fleedjio's back, so yeah. You guys can just find your wy to the Viper's Den and I'll take it from here. Then we'll just wait for the others to show up.

Speakin' of Fleedjio, man, I can't believe I made that reference! I wonder if anyone will That or Twinkiel's dream.

What was that at the end there, Tort? If you want to keep it a surprise, go ahead, but I was confused, to say the least.

hah legend of Zelda refrence. Don't kow who Fleedijo is though.

@15253 There you go *gives virtual cookie* What game, though? :p As for Fleedjio, if you search "Jio" in Google, you should find the character I made the reference from. Who happens to be amazing.

@Verser Thundurus is K.O'ed for now, so don't bother using him. However, this time I might actually inform you on his moveset: Thunder, Focus Blast, Nasty Plot and Rain Dance. Anyways, you have Celebi, Ariala and Fleedjio with you, so I guess you can just go to the Temple, and I'll be joining you guys.

@Buggiedude2340 D'you mean the whole war thing? 'Cause is so it's basically a territorial war between two tribes of the forest. Happens. Zangoose and Seviper are Pokémons that are rivals since many generations, so I took adventage of that.

EDIT: so this is a test, but I think I know why I confused you, Buggie. I shouldn't have changed point of view, that was too sudden. I re-modified my post with the original idea I had in mind (which is a lot shorter btw). Is it less confusing? I'll just save the war stuff for next post, it's very important since it leads to an event we all need.

*noms cookie* I'm guessing......
WindSalior? errr Windmaker....Wind.....I fergot ._.

@15253 YES! It's Wind Waker! *hands three more cookies* To be fair the Jio reference is impossible to get if you don't know the character, so just enjoy those Cookies with the Zelda reference
Wind Waker is also my favorite Zelda game so far. I had so much fun in the Great Sea, as you can tell from the dream.

@Robusto Fancy kidnapping session with Hoopa + torture possibilites. Perfect. So far so good, still not hating the little trickster. I hope he'll never reach his Unbound Form anytime soon.

@Robusto, I'm not at all surprised you decided to let Hoopa do something like that. Although, mentioning Xerneas was quite smart. Unfortunately, Gabriel's going to play right into his hands...

@Tortwag, the Guardian for the Spooky Plate is actually a Mega Banette. Mega Gengar is the Toxic Plate's Guardian. I'll include the list of Guardians in this post as well. (I guessed most of them, but they were nevertheless right!)

The new list for the Plates:

Spoiler

~ Meadow Plate - to be found by Zulu, Twinkiel, Ren or Frost
~ Flame Plate - already found and guarded by Ren
~ Splash Plate - already found by Zulu, guarded by Lugia
~ Sky Plate - reserved by @Robusto for Zulu
~ Insect Plate - reserved by @Tortwag for Twinkiel
~ Toxic Plate - reserved by @AstralHunter for Gabriel and Riley
~ Zap Plate - reserved by @Tortwag for Twinkiel
~ Mind Plate - reserved by @Buggiedude2340 for Flurry and Twinkiel
~ Stone Plate - unreserved
~ Earth Plate - to be found by Jewels
~ Dread Plate - to be found by Bloodmoon
~ Spooky Plate - reserved by @Charizard821 for Riley and Flurry
~ Iron Plate - reserved by @AstralHunter for Gabriel
~ Fist Plate - reserved by @AstralHunter for Gabriel
~ Icicle Plate - unreserved
~ Draco Plate - reserved by @Robusto for Zulu
~ Pixie Plate - already found by the New Order

The list of Guardians for the Plates:

Spoiler

Grass - Mega Venusaur
Fire - Mega Charizard (Y)
Water - Mega Blastoise
Flying - Mega Pidgeot
Bug - Mega Pinsir
Poison - Mega Gengar
Electric - Mega Manectric
Psychic - Mega Alakazam
Rock - Mega Aerodactyl
Ground - Mega Steelix
Dark - Mega Houndoom
Ghost - Mega Banette
Steel - Mega Metagross
Fighting - Mega Medicham
Ice - Mega Glalie
Dragon - Mega Ampharos
Fairy - Mega Gardevoir

I should add that each of the Guardians used to be prominent figures in their lifetime. For example, the Dread Plate's Guardian is the author of The Nature of the Dark, Nosfen the Sinister; the Toxic Plate's Guardian is the former apprentice of the Third High Alchemist, Veronica the Illustrious (she's the deceased Alchemist, not the Guardian); and the Icicle Plate's Guardian is the former Archiver of the Glacial Museum, Edvard Fritloff.

@AstralHunter Prominent figures... That's interesting. Wonder if the Mega Alakazam is... The one I'm thinking about, then.

Oh, it's a Banette. Darn, missed my chance. Too bad.
