Emily is capable of move tutoring and she's collected TMs and TRs ever since she was an actual kid and kept them all in a CD drum. She's actually one of the very few people who still has some of the oldest TMs like Mega Punch, Swords Dance, Dynamic Punch and Zap Cannon.

She charges people for direct move tutoring for their Pokemon and sells copies of her TMs and TRs to people.

It's a good day to have a good day, /tog/.
If you think about it, Pokemon battles are really the perfect solution for disagreements. Making a bet at the bar, disagreement with the neighbor, wife simmered the noodles and boiled the pasta sauce? No need to punch it out, just have your Pokemon settle things. It's telling that even the most docile, friendly or timid mons still love a good fight. No one enjoys losing but even getting suplexed through the floor is still a net gain for the scrappy little bastards as long as they can soak in that sweet, sweet Move energy. Is the energy channeled in those attacks somehow dampening the impact? Some sort of Chi imbalance that makes it impossible to keep using magic but somehow that Krookodile's Crunch isn't breaking bones except for when it's raiding Trapinch pits?
The real trouble with all that of course is that even the most docile, friendly and timid creatures are still willing to fight you if you fuck with them. Imagine if the cicada perched in the branch above your mailbox decided that picking up the latest edition of Gameinformer violated the NAP. As mentioned prior, Pokemon have the plucky combination of being nature spirit Kami standins, can fill any ecological vacuum as it appears, and don't refuse a challenge. Being one with nature is non negotiable. You can't get rid of Pokemon no matter how hard you try, and they'll merc you if you did. The bond between man and mon is the only solution, and letting them cut loose in battle is the most sure fire way to keep the peace in both worlds.
I say all this in the hopes that winning Pokemon battles means I can earn a bunch more free mix drink tokens at the local dives.

Krooks and Flygons hunt together. My man, he ain't raiding the other's kids like that
>>
>>56385170
Krookodile and Flygon are enemies to lovers at best. Sandile still takes advantage of awkward Trapinch fumbling through the sand doodlebug-style for an easy meal. Predators rarely fight pitched battles against one another because the risk of being crippled by an equal opponent isn't worth the caloric reward. Even lamed carnivores are overlooked by opportunists due to a lack of nutrition and higher presence of toxic substances like heavy metals and diseases compared to non-carnivores. Lions will kill hyenas but not eat them. Wolves will punch down on coyotes but only eat them in times of desperation. The only exception to this is during duels to decide mating rights where there is a reward more valuable than survival at stake. These rivalries are a test of the individual's worth as a hunter--the more successful killer with the more deadly tools will pass on their genes.
In the wild, evolutionary game theory disincentives conflict between carnivores. It is much more common for two competing carnivore species to simply avoid territory overlap or otherwise find better real estate after an intimidation display, or to be targeting different ecological niches and thus have no true conflict with one another. The symbiotic relationship between Krookodile and Flygon is a matter of convenience between two hunters, not a true alliance seen elsewhere in cases like Tatsugiri and Dondozo. A victory for one over the other would leave both individuals worse off and vulnerable to a coup de grace from a third party. Going halvsies is just pragmatism on their part--the same pragmatism that also encouraged insectivorous Sandile to hunt Trapinch. We see similar behavior between Hornbills and Mongeese in the real world--they'll both prey on each other's young while benefiting from being in the presence of matured individuals.

Zap Cannon's actually one of the less popular ones due to the low amount of Pokemon compatible with it through conventional TR/TM methods. It wouldn't take much haggling to get a low price for it since most people don't buy it at all.
>Emily's Poke-Taco Bell order
She's fairly simple in her tastes in food. Soft flour tortilla, ground beef, lettuce and taco sauce. Especially since she's lactose intolerant.

He prefers making lure balls (in PTU they make pokemon you've baited with food 20% easier to catch). He largely doesn't care what ball a pokemon gets but he does really enjoy the handiwork aspect of apricorn balls and how each one reflects a bit on the person who made it.

>"is not much, but is honest work."
The trophies are real. You see, after David quit the Frontier, Scott sent the many trophies he invested his money. The idea was to give whoever defeated David one, but since the only way to challenge him was to get all 7 Gold Symbols, not many did. David only gave 2 in his entire career.
Now, he is broke, living at his parents' house, and his room is filled with lots of trophies. What to do?
Well, he discovered a loophole: trophies have to be earned, but they could be sold as well (as long as he gives a share to the Frontier's committee).
A small rebranding later: get your BF souvenir! Only 100000 yen!
Many were sold relatively quickly, and now he had money to spare. But then Scott got wind, tried to sue, David uses the loophole, and both sign a contract agreement. Now, to get a BF trophy you must pay 250000 yen (Scott cornered the market, and David can't sell them anymore), or get over 1000 BP for one.
Still, David keeps a big box with many leftover trophies. He mostly gives them away as a present. On the good side, he gets royalties thanks for being the one who brought one more revenue to the Battle Frontier.

>>
>>56386962
Well, David's team are the Hoenn Starters. He keeps them in a categorized system:

>Blaziken: Heavy Hitter
Is a fighter, can use fire, and is very reliable. He uses him when he just want to finish the fight on the spot. Thanks to his knowledge in martial arts, he has developed moves that can strike various enemies with no much difficulty. In fact, he can take battle stances to change his strategy (imagine Deoxys as a move), and even change his physical attacks for special ones, so he can "punch a ghost" so to speak.

>Sceptyle: The Hazard
Sceptyle doesn't like to fight directly. He is more scummy in his approach, tiring his enemies. He uses the terrain to inflict openings, and use hit-and-run tactics to defeat them over time.
In fact, he can change terrains with ease using spores stored in his tail. It can replicate an ecosystem, so the moves he uses can always have the advantage. And trust me, Sceptyle can cover quite the interesting moves.

>Swampert: The Ace
Between Blaziken and Sceptyle, he would be the inbetween in strenght and speed. But don't let him fool you: he was trained to STAND. It uses both power and technical moves to defeat his opponents. At difference of Sceptyle, he doesn't look for weak points, he MAKES them. And at difference of Blaziken, he doesn't need to set a turn aside to prepare, he does it as the fight goes along. This, combined with the ability to reach Ultima Fusion, he is the Ace powerhouse he needs to tilt the odds in David's favor.

>Ultima
Imagine a fifth evolution, that's the explanation. Since David got tainted with Mega Power at Sootopolis, he can reach Mega Evolution without the need of a Mega Stone. Now, after his investigation in evolution (friendship, stones, events and circumstances), he managed to create a new evolution. The steps are simple yet precise. I'll follow it next post.

>>56386995
I actually know this one! The trick to drawing chibis is to direct emphasis to the features that normally go overlooked on proper proportions. For example, take Phos's normal sex appeal and condense it down so that you're seeing more of her curvature within a smaller field of view. For that Bibi, you see her silly glasses, big grin, cute school outfit and bright pink boots all in the span of a few inches. David has that gap moe appeal going where you see all that confidence (furrowed brows, smug smile, crossed arms to emphasize his biceps) delivered in a package you could lift up like a baby. So on, so forth. Big balloon heads, round shapes to emphasize cuteness, simplistic details.
>>
>>56387019

>1) Get a Pokémon
This is the easy part

>2) Be capable of Mega Evolution
This is the not-so-easy part

>3) Train both body and mind
You must be trained and disciplined, otherwise the overabundance of power may destroy your mind. The method is like Reburst backwards: (you) fuse your soul with your Pokémon. Since both men and Pokémon are connected and share many aspects together, fusing in the most pure way possible allows to both tap into the most sacred power imaginable

>4) And probably the most dangerous part to dominate Be willing to die
David and Swampert managed to tap into this power by accepting the fact this is something NO ONE should have. Ultima forces a sudden increase in a Pokémon's intelligence, so the new emotions and self awareness can destroy the unprepared mind of an innocent being.
As for the human side, David says "I feel the more I try to use it, I slowly lose myself". This is because the craving for this power makes the human soul fuse with the Pokémon soul. But if both souls synchronize into one, the new being is more likely to develop a bipolarity disorder, since now two beings are living inside one, and there's no way to undo this because if the fusion is permanent, the human's body dies, so it can't return.
To "dominate" this technique, you have to be aware that both sides can reach the final consequences, and there's no going back. No regrets, only the result of your actions.

Then sadly turn to the porn/furry well of degeneracy and quick money, taking their style into stagnancy, eventually dying.

They to drawing chibis is pretty much what >>56387026 said. Reduce everything to a more simplistic design and by contrast exaggerate their body language. Add stubby little fingers like a toddler's. Everything is round and short, and the head makes up roughly 1/3 or even 1/2 of their total height.
Personally I prefer drawing them with "pillow-y" bodies (like Chibibi) but that feels wrong when drawing characters with pronounced chests like David or Phos. Hence why chibi David turned out a little less stylized.

>>56387001
Also thanks for these brush settings and tips!

TQ: Ivy is known to have a side hustle of selling vitamins and other "drugs" (ability capsules/patches/other hard to come by medicines) to students for a quick buck. She's basically a plug for Pokemon steroids.
Miko on the other hand is too young to work, but sells any valuables he finds while he's out scavenging... that and he's a lucky little bastard when it comes to gambling.
TT: Gonna see about drawing Ivy later when if I find the time to, seems like a fun task :)

I'm personally unsure of Golisopod even swim-- let alone quickly-- and if they do swim quickly, it's a question of HOW they do.

>>zero water types except Golisopod
So you have one (1) water type
>>
>>56388514
Okay but it's not like a primary water type and you'd sooner attach the word Bug to it than Water when asked about it. While everyone else has Pokemon that people would say "Water type" first and foremost at a glance.
>>
>>56388520
Miko's only water type is Pyukumuku, so I had to get creative with its locomotion. Even then I'd probably say that throwing your trainer and chariot is against the rules and not very effective for taking turns :P

>>56388580
At this point I assume Golisopod can just jet through the water since it's Pin Missile is like a little missile salvo launcher inside it's shell in it's back.

okay rough time trying to come up with card concepts since i don't play the tcg, even if i spent like an hour mulling it over while making lunch. but do either of these sound reasonable to everyone?

1: if a pokemon was knocked out during your opponent's turn, search your deck for a pokemon card and a basic energy card. add them to your hand

2: upon playing this card flip a coin, if heads choose a pokemon to be immune to damage on your opponents next turn

i think the "knocked out" condition on the first one sells the ghost type theming. as for the 2nd, i intended to title this card "ghost dive" after the japanese name for phantom force/the song of the same title, so the whole immune to damage thing is a reference to the move itself

https://youtu.be/RYPYWQPz2T8?si=cyK2RIolFq5gzSIt
>>
>>56389695
Wow, what an amazing transformation that coloring job makes. To one day steal your powers and add them to my own... a lunatic can dream.
I like the first description more specifically because you don't specify what kind of Pokemon you can choose. It creates an interesting strategy of sacrificing a basic mon and giving your opponent an easy prize card in order to bring out a fully-evolved bruiser earlier than you would have otherwise. A card as stunning as that should have an equally memorable effect, it almost feels like a waste that a coin flip could decide to let it go unappreciated.

i've said it before but i don't mind lending advice where i can, it's just that i have no formal background in art, so everything i say should be taken with a grain of salt. regarding colors, i think my biggest tip is that a shadow should always be more saturated than the base color, and i usually make them a bluer or purpleish tone to convey a cool feeling (there are times when you don't want to do this but i feel it's a technique that's generally applicable). conversely i make highlights warm by tinting them yellow. see how the colors on the left in picrel are kind of icky compared to the right? it's because they're just being shaded with lighter/darker versions of the same color without the hue or level of saturation shifting. case by case basis and all, but this is my standard approach.

Well, I finally did it. Nearing 20K words, I finally tied Chapter 1 and 2 of this Thing together. Now I can get to reworking the opening of Chapter 2 to be congruous with the changes that I made to the story in Chapter 1 (since Chapter 2 was originally the only part of this that was supposed to exist). Speaking of which
>>56384991
I guess this kind of vindicates but also kind of doesn't vindicate the idea that Alex would have to fight someone over a poker game. I imagine that certain establishments would try to arbitrate things without battles, and casinos would probably be one of them. How does Alex end up where he does, then? Well, you'll just have to wait and see.

didn't mean to come off like i was insulting anyone's choices. plenty of artists do make it work, and it's the choice most artists intuitively make because, well, shadows=dark, so the answer most anyone comes to is usually "to shade x color, i should use a darkver variant". that said, if anyone finds the tip useful i'll be thrilled

one of our monitors must be fucked because she's wearing red, the outfits meant to look like skeledirge....anyways if you need outfit inspirations i really just recommend looking into j fashion or watching kpop music videos. imo asian fashion scenes are way more fun than western ones, so i model a lot of my designs off of their trends

You misunderstand, king. If I can still hold a strained paternal love for Alex in spite of his best efforts, you're not hurting my feelings anytime soon. You're absolutely spot-on, I was going for the obvious answer of just sliding the colors directly vertically. Because I'm a caveman with a supercomputer and I'm teaching myself as I go. It's invaluable to be able to see a broader, more creative perspective that goes beyond the unga-bunga solution.
>>
>>56390205
No, I was referring to her normal outfit which you stated was based off of "Jirai Kei" but without a skirt because Bibi hates skirts. It looks like a orangish red to me. I mostly just take inspiration from certain anime outfits such as this one which I used for one of his "Special" outfits with a few minor tweaks, most notably a vine pattern on a black belt instead of the white belt here, meant to resemble Serperior. I don't know if either of us would be in to J-Fashion and I can't stomach K-Pop.

Embarrassingly, I did once actually design an outfit from the ground up based on DND with some anime/gacha game elements. Archivist did call me out for my build kind of being shit for DND and the “Lore Bard” basically doing all of what I wanted to do and more, so I guess let’s just ignore gameplay mechanics for writing purposes (how ironic that I am saying this). I think that you also told me that I should look into Monster Hunter armor.

>Why not just use a Rilaboom?
I don't know if this is a joke, considering David can be considered as big as an ape (in muscle at least. He is 173cm tall).
Still, he will use a Rilaboom. By the time he reaches Galar, he is relatively adult, so he will go MONKE, mainly because many of his enemies will start parroting about "EVs" and "IVs" and "Meta". He just go "Big monke, big punch, figure out the result".

So, I'm stuck on how to progress Gilded Platinum. I don't know if I should include the gym battle or skim over it. I've already depicted what Roark's challenge is like and I don't know if it would seem too much to go through the challenge again but with the main characters instead of over a VOD..
>>
>>56390965
I haven't read that part yet, but if you think the fight is basically filler, maybe you should skip it.
Sure, filler moments can happen, but those are better played as downtime from serious chapters. If you only repeat what happened in the last chapter, maybe it shouldn't even be considered part of the story.

>>56390016
To be fair, there is no one right way to do shading and using less saturated colors has its place. There's so much to take into account, like lighting, personal style, mood... Don't forget that shadows are also affected by the color of the light so eg in red lighting you'd choose the shade of your shadows accordingly.
That said, >>56389914 is a great tip for creating vibrant pictures in standard lighting and it makes me wanna do more colorful pictures too.

Grim and Edgyverse, as well as its fanbase, fell off hard. Whereas previously there was some actually compelling stuff about them, now it’s just devolved into circlejerking into how UNBEATABLE Grim is and how COOL Zircaslop is compared to other stuff.

And I do feel like a lot of Grim wanking nowadays goes un-laughed at because everyone got tired of it, so now the only people left in those threads are the people who genuinely enjoy bragging about the Mary Sue edgelord.

Please understand, if you're posting on the internet, it means that they can't. They're welcome to make as many threads as they like. I'd love nothing more than to see them actually accomplish something, I'd wholly support them if they could. If.
Until then, the impotent crying is really funny for me.

Yea I found that odd at first, but I can sorta see where one could get there.
It could be people from the previous oc threads, or just who generally don't like some aspect of the current ones for one reason or another and found the edgy verse as the most appropriate place to dump that out on. Though one cannot really dismiss the inherent connection between the two threads, as some guys have moved on here from the edgyverse stuff.
In fewer words, someone possibly just doesn't like something here and wanted to talk about how much he doesn't like said thing, but not in here.

I was going to use it to show growth as a team as well as some evolved pokemon, but ultimately the gyms aren't super important to the story. I'll probably gloss over what happened instead of going too much into depth because there's more exciting stuff I want to get to. Especially since what most recently happened.

Ever? They stay in their threads, we stay in ours. In an ideal situation, everyone benefits from this. Don't like the way we run things? Go over there. Don't like the way they run things, come over here. Don't like either? Start your own threads. I welcome it.

Nothing important, really. Have some fish oil, the omega-3s and lipids are good for promoting brain health, it'll help you organize your thoughts.

I don't think I've ever eaten anything with fish oil in it before. Might look into it. Ended up eating a leftover burger instead for a quick lunch. I wonder if fish oil would be good in beef and rice chow mein since it's the only asian food I ever make.
>>
>>56393163
Typically it's a supplement you have with whatever you're eating normally and tastes like the vague idea of a bland fish stick, or you get it as a side effect of eating actual fish (I do both). Regardless, it's a super nutrient; mankind was born and raised on a diet of fish and fruits. Fish oil helps process fat cells, supports brain health, keeps your skin vibrant and supple (useful if you're drinking a lot of alcohol that would normally dry your skin out), and helps control your blood pressure. I like to pop a fish oil pill when I plan on doing a lot of thinking.
>>
>>56393203
Ah, I don't really pop supplements and such. And as far as skin care is concerned I don't drink anyway so--
>>
>>56393105
>>56393203
NTA but this is legit, omega 3 is really good to combat brainfog, it only loses to a good cardio session, when I combine 30m ~ 1h of cardio with a couple of Omega 3 pills it's the difference between heaven and hell to me.
The top 3 supplments for brain activity are Omega 3, Creatine and Magnesium L Threonate, in that order.

It's a more efficient use of time imo, I can waste 4 hours in "The..." >>56392152 or instantly become me at my best after an 1 hour investment. The "comfy writer" idea is a meme, a healthy body means a healthy mind.
Obviously this all comes in layers and you can choose what layer you stay on depends on your free time or logistics like if you have a gym nearby or if buying a treadmill is viable, becoming a gymbro is the "perfect" scenario but you don't even need to go all the way to 100% and become a fucking bodybuilder to notice a difference, even just Omega 3 is already a % of the way that you can benefit with very low effort.
>>
>>56393424
>a healthy body means a healthy mind.
I will die on this hill surrounded by the bodies of the naysayers.
>>
>>56393424
While they can be correlated, a healthy body does not mean a healthy mind. Plenty of gymgoers have mental issues, that’s why they go to the gym in a futile attempt to sweat them out. It’s a distraction from their troubled minds. Though less common, I have also seen people with unhealthy bodies yet healthy minds in spite of that, although I don’t think anyone appearing on My 600lb Life was very mentally well adjusted.
>>
>>56393524
There's always exceptions, starting to lift for the wrong reasons and starting to take steroids, etc is also a common pitfall.
At the end of the day the human body is complex and it's not a zero sum RPG stats slider, even genetics play a role, but still, anedoctal circumstances of people that went wrong don't necessarily prove that you wouldn't feel more productive by actually doing cardio, lifting and/or taking supplements.
I still think it's a worthwhile experiment that every person with a creative inspiration should try for a while.

Welp, I'm up 3k word s and the booze buff is starting to wind down. The typos will remain long after our dalliance concludes. It's a windy evening in the windy sity and everything is as it should be.
More or less.
How are you doing, anons. No need to say anything, of course, just give it some thought and know I'm thinking about you too. I hope you've got plenty of bread to fill you and water to keep you afloat out there.
Here, have some easygoing music to listen to if you feel like winding down for the evening. I even checked some of it to make sure there were no popups (I use adblockers).

>>56390494
ah anon, i finally caught up on the gaiden chapter, i usually hold off on talking about these things til i draw something related to it but that'll take some time so....okay, the "if i need an escort" line? i was gagged, as the kids would say. catty phos is so entertaining. these little trips through her memories also really solidified zoroark as my favorite party member, cute and shy but all that rage and bitterness just under the surface makes for one sweet package, and illustrates that she's got more backbone than malamar gives her credit for. no shocker the dialogue between phos and azelie really got me as well. grief never really leaves us, life just sort of expands to encompass it as we live on. lots of great action scenes in this one too since we jumped from set to set so often, i'm never not a sucker for motorcycles crashing through windows/into buildings, and i love that a franco appearance never occurs without some kind of monologue. despite eif's grittier tone, it remains something very heartfelt and sincere. a je ne sais quoi of sorts that makes it so that even if your writing has such a distinct personality to it, it feels like it was made with genuine love for the source material, and i think that's why it resonates so much

Well, chapter 2 is finally done. It's a TAD bit longer than I expected by around 2000 words. It's probably not perfect but it's kinda just how it is since I don't normally write solo and it feels a lot easier to make fluffy, enticing prose that makes a read through something more appealing when bouncing off of someone else, but not much I can do there.

I have NO IDEA if Google's suggestion to change all the "it's" to "its" is correct, kinda lacking the energy to care atm. But here it is.

If it were up to me, I'd instead have Sticky Web remove an Energy Card from the Active opponent and discard it. Making the opponent show their hand is a neat idea, but there's some real nasty stall potential in cucking them out of their one drawn card per turn while you can keep stockpiling uncontested. Stealing from the Active foe on the other hand, creates a more dynamic way of forcing a strategy shift as the opponent suddenly has to contend with their heavy-hitter no longer being able to afford their main attack. They're not being outright denied the chance to move, they just have to start putting Energy on one of their Benched mons to try and swat the little gnat out of the way.
>i finally caught up on the gaiden chapter
Thank you as always for reading, it really does mean the world to me to be able to create something that inspires such an amazing audience as you and everyone else who comments on my work.
I'm very glad you liked that final scene. It's been an interesting challenge trying to portray Azelie as a total bitch across her four major appearances without alienating the reader, but I think she made good use of her screentime in the end, especially with that heart-to-heart. Her involvement's done, but her story's not over just yet.
Personally, my favorite scene to write was the Wellness Check. I think the parallels between all three major players refusing to accept help from someone while figurative and literal death is following after them was some of their most important characterization.
>it feels like it was made with genuine love for the source material
It's true, this franchise has given me countless things to be thankful for over the years, and I love it dearly despite it all.
And speaking of being thankful...

Not at all. Think about it: how many people even get the idea to do a creative writing assignment outside of high school? How many people decide they shouldn't bother because they won't measure up, or talk a big game about what great ideas they have without actually making them real. How many people give up at the point where you kept going?
Chapter 1 was, what, 10k, 11k words? You'd be a page or two shy of a full novel at this point. How many people have written a novel?
Here's to you.

Silas's Golisopod, Teach, is the muscle of the group. While Some may say it's a rather cowardly personality to be described as such, Silas sees it as fleeing from impossible encounters. Like a sixth sense, when approched by an Aggron, Salamence, or similar Teach knows when they're beat. The only thing to do is hit the bricks and live another day. Otherwise, he's happy to knock a few Numel out of the way or shield Silas from a Flamethrower or two with his hulking claws and exoskeleton.

My cat of 20 years has taken a turn for the worse. Whether it's heart disease or kidney failure, I can tell she's preparing for her departure. As if there needs to be another reminder: Trainers, I pray you take care of the Pokemon that you chose or chose you.
Let's be mindful of the friends we journey with here today and those we've met along the way. For while the time we have is limited, it allows us to measure the love of our relationships. From our story's sunrise to sunset, it's all we have.
These are the companions of the heart forever.

This took me a while, but it was a fun read. Emily surely is cruel in her "interrogation" methods, but I guess is fine Arai and Mari remind her to take the slow approach. At least is easy to clean her mess that way. On the flip side, I'm 100% sure she would jump, scream, and laugh like a kid if she were in a sealed off room with no outside way to see into it. She totally enjoyed sending that robot to space.

Nah, the machine itself did that to try and make her unable to avoid the orb it created after that. It tried to catch her in it and kill her, just for her to destabilize and detonate the orb anyway. Like shooting a frag grenade that's still in someone's hands.

Take good care of your kitty while she's still with you. To them we are often their whole world.

This interpretation of that part of the fight scene actually makes me wonder if it was just you mis-reading it or if I worded it poorly.

Bump. Not entirely sure what I wanna do next for Chapter 3. I have a general overarching plan for this Kalos story arc as a whole but I am kinda winging it on a lot of the smaller in-between bits. But I suppose that's a non issue since I JUST posted Chapter 2 last night and am basically obligated to spend a few months on the next one. One thing I learned from Chapter 2 though; no more fucking multiple fight scenes per chapter, that shit drained the fuck out of me and pushed the chapter to 27k words.

You too, huh? I can't exactly relate, because the first fight of this thing is kind of filler to stop the first part of Chapter 1 from getting too boring, but at least you serve as a tale of caution to not do two major fights in a row very often. Speaking of which, I actually have Chapter 1 ready to go, but the structure of ABBITNS necessitates that all three chapters get released within the same document; I should also mention that I've now committed to this thing being a full on novella and including every scene that I have planned, no scrapping things this time. I don't have a specific word count in mind, but I anticipate that this will cap out at around either 30 or 40K words. For now, however, little to no progress will actually get done, technically speaking, since I am rehashing what I had of the original "Chapter 2" before I decided to create Chapter 1 and 3. I will not be expanding what I have of Chapter 3 currently, because I don't want to have to rewrite anything else. 20K words is further than it appears.

I think Emily and I are the only ones who bypass the move limit, but for the rest of you with Four Moveslot Syndrome, how do you guys feel about signature moves being "inherent" to a Pokemon's behavior? I know that Leon's Dragapult was shown to have five moves. It feels odd that a Pokemon has to learn and can forget a signature move, especially with Pokemon such as Dragapult where it just feels so inherent to their behavior. This kind of extends to some non-signature moves as well, such as Serperior's Glare.
>>
>>56398677
You and Emily are not alone, PTU allows for up to 10+ moves (starting at 6) max per pokemon if you build it correctly, has a player whose pokemon had like 13 moves. Most of Luke's pokiemon have like 8 because he gets one free move slot specifically for a status move. He can also teach Swords Dance for almost free.

I'm a big fan of how Legends Arceus did move sets, I like having access to the whole move pool that can just be changed at will and so that influences how I write and world build.
>>
>>56398677
Me (David) personally, I go with the 4 limit move to make things easier.
But when I can go my way, I mainly focus on the animal/realistic side. Going with the flow, so momentum isn't cut.
For example: David fights a Flying type. Now, if I have to advocate for the 4 moves rule, I'll make Swampert use either Ice Beam or Blizzard.
But when "I" can go my way, I see the many ways he can defeat the enemy: chuck a rock at it by crushing the land and grabbing a relatively big one (Earthquake + Rock Throw), propel himself to reach it and crash it down with his weight (Waterfall/Hydro Pump + Seismic Toss), use an Ice move, make a small ramp, and launch itself to the bird (Ice Beam + Body Slam/Take Down).

I prefer to go more "big kaiju fight" rather than "[X] used [Y]", but I understand why people picks 4 moves. It can be translated into the game's universe, so is more recognizable to the reader.

Nox is running the Payday 2 Dodge build.

>>56398677
In Ruka's world 4 moves is more of a regulation for battling. Basically having more than 4 moves can
1. Overwhelm the battling pokemon
2. Makes certain pokemon more adventageous over others in a tournament setting.
So prior to most battles you just sorta agree on what 4 moves you're gonna use for the battle and once you use the 4th one you're not allowed to declare a 5th move. That said, outside of battles Pokemon can use any moves they've learned at any point in the past.
>>
>>56398670
What really gets me is how Nikke ONLY has female operators just like Girls Frontline and some other games. The oversaturation leads to a lot of the characters becoming forgettable because there’s no males to balance them out and they coast off of being sexy. Gachas do this because it’s very easy to just churn out hot bodies and feed them to players, all a female character needs to be loved is to be attractive and nothing else.

Opening my heart here: this is the main reason I hate gachas.
I'm tired of dry spell koreans who are exploiting EVERY loophole to put sex everywhere they can't have it, so that means only female sex bait MCs. Or chinese casino owners who either they put kid's first unreal anime skin, or BLs massive femboi fujo baits. Arknights maybe have some good hard dads and classic hero men, but then they have furry skin.
How the fuck you make furries out of fucking FISH PEOPLE?!

Fuck gachas, I stay with either Fortnite skins or PUBG clothing sets. At least some customization makes things interesting.

I will now be going over my own personal thought process on how training pokemon works unprompted.

Every living thing is connected to the elements of the world around them. Pokemon even more so. These are called Elemental Connections

Take Biff here, he has a Primary connection to Fighting, thus the Fighting type.

That doesn't mean Biff can only utilize that Fighting connection. he also naturally resonates with Dark, Normal, Dragon, and Rock as moves from those types show up naturally on his move list. These moves could be vestiges of Biff's ancestors, or hints into what future Machamp might be like as biological evolution marches onward.

Move tutoring is, in my view, teaching pokemon moves that their ancestors once knew or had access to (I have no basis for this or really anything here, I just think it makes sense).

TMs are vague in-game and I never really know what to do with them, but essentially I think they are largely trainer made moves where trainer and pokemon work together to explore other latent connections they may or may not have (which at this point would have been recorded by professors for a while).

With PTU this can taken a bit further with features like Move Sync that let you change a Move's typing. Trainers can teach a pokemon to a move like Ice Punch and then teach that same pokemon to use Ice Punch through their primary Fighting type Elemental Connection resulting in a Rock Punch.

as of pla/sv you can swap moves in and out whenever so it isn't like they forget something permanently. i like it when people stick to 4 moves since it's just kind of how the series has always handled battles and kinda feels integral to the identity at this point, but that's personal taste. i'd justify it in universe as part of pokemon battling being a pretty thoroughly regulated combat sport. just like how groin attacks are illegal in the ring, you don't use more than 4 moves in a match

What are youse personal explanation for this to fit the mechanic (or its effects) into your story?

Oh yes, I almost forgot: you should reformat your card text to be more in line with the official style. The card maker has a ton of commands available via the blue ( ! ) to make the text more authentic. Ie, [G] creates the Grass symbol instead of typing out "grass."

So anyway, aside from the Jack Vance > D&D > Dungeon Crawlers > Dragon Quest > Shin Megami Tensei > Pokemon pipeline, it's important to remember that some Pokemon are remarkable simply for their ability to naturally pick up on certain moves that other Pokemon need to inherit or receive special training to access. Glare is a perfect example--look at how rare access to that move is compared to something more ubiquitous like Thunder Wave. In this case, Serperior's remarkable Glare is simply noting the fact that it has access to Glare and is inclined to use it instead of exerting itself (reptiles are very calorie-conscious creatures and it seems the stately Serperior is the sort to passively gain energy via photosynthesis instead of getting swept up by the predator's literal rat race).

It's a great joke, but I swear I've heard this one before.

As we gear up for the dawn of the final day, I propose:
>Which of the Origin Rising cards is your favorite (when the full deck goes public)?
I fully expect everyone to nominate themselves Pirates-style
>Drawception: draw your OC playing the OC cards.
Alternatives:
>Crossover episode: Poker Night at the /tog/.
>How does your OC feel about the changing of the seasons?
>Tell us about your OC's worst day.
>Tell us something about your OC that you have never told anyone yet.
>Draw your idea of how TMs work.
>Do your best to draw one of your OC's Pokemon in the Dragon Quest style.
>Draw your OC bullying Alex.
>What would your OC think of your hometown if they could see it?
>Exaggerate a feature of your hometown to make it more like the world of Pokemon (ie, turning a small park into Pinwheel Forest).
>Crossover episode: How many OCs can we fit around MS Paint Luke's campfire?
>make a short mp4/webm of your character and a scene-appropriate song to fit the mood.
>draw your OC's reaction to eating a lemon.

Every move (on my side) is replaced with focus blast, every opponent scald procs a burn, I get every sucker read wrong, opponent does the most optimal tera at the right time and the fucking bears are unbanned (which one? all of them), smeargle gets back dark void, and idfk
Then you go up by removing one of those gradually

>>56401027
I must have misread "pull" as "wear". I'm not sure how he would react to something so out of pocket, honestly.
>>
>>56401048
Do all other moves always burn, or just Scald?
>>
>>56401124
Well I too would be damned if getting hit by make it rain would also result in a burn
>>
>>56401135
I'm sure the golden boy would love that. Let me rephrase the question, then: Do all moves with a burn chance always burn then? What about paralysis and poison and flinch inducing moves, do they always trigger their secondary effect as well?

That's kind of a given with how Ash forms the anime world around him. But I don't think there should be issues with minor characters such as the anime version of Charles, which I think Phos Guy actually included for when she steals the motorcycle.

>>
>>56401242
Don't see how it's any different to inserting game characters, of course with the exception of Ash himself.
>>
>>56401306
I guess I just thought that it could be seen as some people as a disconnect since basically everyone here bases their stuff off of game canon. I wonder if it would be a good idea to use the Pokespe versions of the protagonists since the game versions are blank slates meant for self-instertion.

I use anime only locations because it makes the world seem larger. But I usually set my stories well before or parallel to (as in they never interact) the events of the games or show or whatever so I get to make a bunch of characters without consequence because I have no interest in fleshing out existing characters.
>>
>>56401354
I'd say some locations are fair game while others such as all of the kingdom settings are too Ashnime to be included. I wonder if this place would be too ridiculous.

>>56401382
I didn't use it in my most recent game (based in Unova/the Dream World) because it wasn't different enough from Castelia to really merit using.
>>
>>56401354
Fleshing out existing characters works, but you have to keep them on the side, and generally you have to use characters with very little background so that you can fill in the blanks. Phos Guy did this with December and Emma and nobody seemed to have an issue with it. A good rule of thumb is, the more major the character, the more minor the support they should have. Again, using EIF as an example, December and Emma were more minor so they could have more stuff filled in, while Blue Ahoge Guy, who has had more prominence, only showed up once and won't show up again. Protags are probably off limits except for very minor roles. You can break this rule sometimes, but you really have to know what you are doing.
