Once I've uploaded the Grym and Circe remixes later today, I'm gonna be gone for about 3 weeks or so. I'll still be reviewing cards as they come in, and I'll definitely be back before the deadline.
>>56814595Holy smokes, that long? Well, enjoy your time off. Any chance we can push the deadline back? November's shaping up to be a busy month for me as I prepare to finish EiF.
>>56814587Did I overlook something SPOOKY? Yeah, probably. Use it as an excuse to post it here.
>>56814618Sure. When would you like it pushed to?
Which pokemon (female) would do grappling or BJJ with their trainer?
>>56814629We don't do that here.
What are your intentions in making pokemon OCs? I'm trying to come up with one for OCxCanon content but I feel like it's really self-indulgent...
>>56805453Dang Miko balled out some gambling money on some doc martins. Looking boss getting some autumn training done in the forest.Forgot he had an umbreon.>>56814636It's all about creating the Pokemon experience and storyline you'll never get to play, read, or watch.Just do whatever and bee yourself Okubro.
>>56814627How about extending it through to the end of December? Another two weeks should give me time to cram in as much end-of-the-year drawing practice as possible. >>56814636>intentions in making pokemon OCsFun, mostly. Writing and drawing practice, personally. Either recreating the feeling of playing through the games, expanding upon the setting in ways the games/manga/anime overlooks or doesn't have time to focus on, or providing commentary on the franchise and its state.>I feel like it's really self-indulgentCorrect! And that's okay. You should ask yourself what you want to achieve with this content. Being able to have a specific endgoal in mind to work backwards from will help you structure your thoughts into a more cohesive idea.
>>56814691Sure. December 30th work?Also, goodnight.
Night crew can have a little preview. As a treat. >>56814696That's perfect, thanks. I'm heading out too. Let's have never-ending nightmares, /tog/.
happy halloween and happy birthday bibi+brendoom, dressed her up as a vampire for the occasion. also, these should be creepy enough to repost i thinkhttps://files.catbox.moe/5bomo4.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/3r1nc3.mp4>>56812273haha sorry for the super unceremonious drop. i was in a mega rush, basically opened up my laptop, hit post and then had to head out again>>56812482i'm really happy you had a good time with it!>>56811541new phos art is a sight for my sore eyes, love the shading you did on the pants and jacket, got me trying to emulate that shinyness, very expressive posing too!!!>>56805453sheeesh the human body may be 60% water but miko's 100% drip. the composition is sport on as always and the placement of his pokemon really shows off how great you are at making the most of all the space available on a canvas/mastery over managing foreground and background elements. that jacket's to die for too>>56812865happy to see adeline again! she looks really cute in that outfit. wishiwashi is a fun "off theme but still on theme" sort of pick, i adore these teams.>What's the backstory here?bibi's one of my ocs, back when i first made her all i really wanted was to redesign juliana since her and florian look boring as fuck to me, but she ended up developing a personality of her own over time. i stick close to the canon events of sv, but one big exception i make is that the koraidon 1v1 during the climax starts with her getting attacked directly. she lives of course, but it's a huge blow to her confidence (read: arrogance and hero complex). my comic just goes over a what if scenario where the main sv crew make an even worse trip down there while directly parodying a dark gag manga i like called sayonara zetsubou sensei>>56814636everyone's just here for a good time mostly! it's not wrong to do things that make you happy anon. i've drawn ocxcanon and haven't gotten laughed off the board if that's any consolation
>>56790477it's late as balls and i have to sleep but as soon as i have the time i'll be reading and sharing my thoughts!>>56812334[spoiler[good to know google translate didn't give me a bunch of nonsense[/spoiler]>>56814780FRANCO TOO? eif fans stay winning
Trying to decide on how I should draw my OC. What do you think?Yes that's a Golurk.
>>56814903i like 2, but if it's something you're willing to do, try combining it with 3 so that we can see the whole gang
>>56814911No matter which option I'm going with I'm inserting the rest of the gang by the side, or maybe the top and bottom. They'll all be there.
>>56814540Why is someone reposting my AIslop? Especially when I've posted other, better autumn prompts than that one.
>>56814636I just do it to get a character and storyline out there to people cause at this point publicly writing even just her Pokemon AU stuff is the only real progress to make at this point on my end. Whether it gets me known at all remains to be seen since this is just some containment board on a mongolian basket weaving forum but frankly it's not like there are any better places to post my fic chapters at this point. Everywhere else is pozzed with alphabet cult freaks or just straight up Poke-fuckers like the old /tog/ was. Some people will obviously silently scoff at OCxCanon, some are fine with it. Depends on if you let the intrusive schizo thoughts about the former get to you or not.
Bump.
>>56814988Is cute slop
>>56814881>>56814852THIS IS SO COOL now I'm picturing Bibi trying to put the eyeliner on Koa while he's super confused, that'd be hilariousYour manga was beautiful! Sorry if that small addendum counted as a mild spoiler to some people. I, too, was spooked at first. I hope you enjoy my story after SO LONG AAAAA
>>56815708Yeah but they posted one of the less cute ones (in my opinion anyway)
>>56815909I liked the eyes best in that one.
>>56816107Personally I don't like the eyes of the one the anon reposted. This one's eyes are better imo, in terms of shape. >>56814988
>>56816710Jesus Christ, anon. 1, now please delete that file.
Happy Halloween one and all!Hope you're all having a great day and will have an even better night.Also, enjoy the autumn for me, because it's summer where I live.>>56802286Squally G is great. But me being me, the "G" sends my mind straight to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt1Ph5tG3XA>Battle TombWhen I first talked about it, I wasn't sure about the name, but when you put it like that, I guess I'll keep this name.>>56814636>intentionsNone. I'm just very, deeply frustrated with GF and TPC for not realizing Pokémon's true potential, and since they'll never give me the sense of wonder and adventure I seek out of this franchise, I look for fan content instead. These OC threads are specially nice, witnessing people creating their own characters and developing their adventures is something really really cool.Then, all the fun rubbed off on me or something and I decided to make my own little guy too, tho my severe laziness will prevent me to do or think anything too elaborate.tldr: I like seeing people being creative with this franchise.>I'm tryingLike others said, just go for it.And before you realise it, you may end up with a .doc with the word count on the thousands about the adventures of your OC.
>>56816845
>>56816710Well either one works, we've seen chars that rode in both manners, and I often find myself alternating between either one.But based on the character archetype (really actually just the bodytype itself) I'd be inclined towards 2. Try see if maybe Golurk holding his hands cupped will do you better than in >>56814903 , or maybe look at SnK for reference as well if that doesn't look right.Either way the other anon is right, put something on her
>>56816790I actually haven't deleted anything in a long while and forgot how deleting works, so I ended up actually deleting it.Ah well.
>>56816879It's all good, anon. In the future, I would recommend using catbox to link files portraying nudity so there's no risk of getting jannies involved. Both poses were fine, but the more open posture of the first pose allows the viewer to get a better look at the character's clothes (she will be wearing clothes, right?!) and whatever characterization those clothes can infer. If this is going to be a promo for the character and her team, it makes sense to use the more open posture.
>>56816710Of all the versions you could post, it had to be a nude one. I think this thread might not be for you.
>>56817130Now, now, they deleted it. It's not uncommon to use nude models or figures at the start of a drawing in order to get the bones right. I know one of the actual TCG illustrators draws all the pokegirls in their panties before doing the clothes. Goes so far as to give them all unique styles too.
>/v/ has Pumpkin Hill stickiedToday's going to be a spooktacular day.
>>56817604And all the shitstain newfags and tourists are malding about it. Which is a good thing, anything that pisses them off is good.
>>56817614They did the same thing with Rainbow Unicorn Attack, I genuinely cannot comprehend what their major malfunction is. Is reddit just mad about old internet culture? Does the idea of having fun threaten the JIDF demoralization campaign? I just don't get it.
>>56817624WAIT, hold on. Is it because they're all mobile users and can't actually participate? Is that what's going on here? Fucking sour grapes?
>>56814852Oh hey, two ships passing in the night. Now I just need to hope Miko anon comes back too. I'm sure you're relieved to have that big project behind you now. I know I will be. >very expressive posing too!!!You flatter me. I realize this will be one of the last few occasions where I'll be obligated to draw Phos and Franco, so I wanted to really go above and beyond. I'll still be drawing these two for a while I'm sure, but you know what I mean.
>>56817624Is reddit just mad about old internet culture? Does the idea of having fun threaten the JIDF demoralization campaign? Yes and Yes.Reddit soiboys hate older nerd culture, as evidenced by how much they want it utterly abolished from the gaming industry much like the slacktivists do. And leftoids unironically think laughter and working out are far-right behaviors.
>>56818014>I forgot to put the arrowFuck.
>>56818014Bro just highlight the text before clicking on the post number. You're not some kind of... mobile-user, are you?
>>56818386Not even gonna answer that question. Kill yourself. Now. For making that accusation of me at all.
>>56818395Is it a Galaxy or an Android?
>>56818513Neither. It's a laptop you swine.
Alright, HAPPY HALLOWEEN folks.As promised, here are the remixes of Circe and Grym's themes.>Circe: Black Roses (Vinyl Mix)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYniUEDw30s>Grym: Let Go (Acoustic Mix)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZkV7CTOWf0This somewhat chilling acoustic version of Grym's theme should provide a shiver or two.I'll be back by early December, if you guys could do the honors of posting the booster posts on each thread until then.See ya in a few weeks or so, lads.
>>56818731I gotcha, beaux. Send a postcard whenever you can.
>>56818731These sound great. Have a great time!
The new TCG game doesn’t have Kommo-o, but I got this guy. I have the other Mewtwo EX too. I still haven’t pulled a Dragonite, though. How are you guys doing, if you’ve tried it at all?
>>56819224Is it just a TCG gacha game? I think I'd rather gamble for something physical to admire, but Grymanon's card project has actually been a godsend for teaching me about how the TCG actually works. I'll put it on my to-do list.
>>56819261It’s a TCG gacha, but to my knowledge none of the cards in this game are from actual packs. They all seem original. That or maybe they’ll sell the packs physically later I dunno, but there’s a pretty good quick battle simulator. I’d compare it to Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel
>>56819297Ahhhh, gacha. I mean, gotcha. I figured it was just an online version of the tabletop game. Unfortunately I have had maybe all of ten hours of free time this year so it will have to wait until after I have no chance of competing against the pay whales. C'est la vie.
>>56819385Yeah, I just happen to have very good gacha luck for some reason. Wouldn’t recommend it to everyone.I could draw a Koa card sometime maybe
Barely made it within the spookday deadline, expect to finish it by 2027
>>56819613Never in doubt. Deadlines are really just guidelines anyway. >>56819464>I could draw a Koa card sometime maybeYeah, it'd be great to have another pen chipping in, it's an opportunity to practice drawing some of your favorite mons.
>>56814383>Bibi ReviewWell, Bibi, you were right, it would be good for you to do some proofreading. You have a funny way of describing things, "canine bearing grin" is an interesting way of describing Bibi's smile and I do think that it's accurate to compare her to a chihuahua, and it's also funny how you describe a 4X weak to Fairy Pokemon as having things in common with them. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but Bibi to me speaks in a sort of "country" way, despite being from Paldea. She's the kind of character that I both want to hug the shit out of and beat the shit out of. You do a good job of characterizing her as annoying with her run-on manner of speech and I also like the way that you got Koa to "Challenge" Bibi.Nyx and Rina are interesting despite being yuri. Rina speaks in a... sophisticated manner? It seems like you were trying to make her seem "mysterious" in conjunction with her monotone voice and dubious origins while also having a humorous side with the "5 star hotel" line. I don't actually mind the constant "..." on Nyx's part and I'm assuming that's done with the intent of making her seem uncertain, which is done well enough. The tone shift between sappy romance and The Trial is interesting. I find it funny how just the question of why she was attempting to do the trial caused her to string her words together. Don't take that out when proofreading. I think it would be funny if she did that more often. You seem to really like Pokemon metaphors/analogies. I like the cliffhanger quotes as well.I don't actually read manga so the thing you made was actually kind of my introduction to it. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have to get used to reading from the left. The cover page is really funny as a result of being left open to interpretation. You did a good job of making Bibi's personality show manga-wise, especially in the "I'm In Despair" panel. I still don't get it but that's probably not the intent anyway. Good Stuff, was worth the wait.
on this spooky day, a certain hero appeared to bring forth the rightful justice...And to commemorate it, I can answer up to three questions regarding him, feel free to ask anything!I'll start with a fun fact: When i first posted his (re?)design, I was expecting people to treat him as a wannabe champion and, overall, a joke character without any big role to perform, it was pretty surprising to see that basically the opposite happened
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!Hope everyone's feeling spooky-dooky. Time to play catch-up halloween ediditon.>>56814646Miko's seasonal outfits always end up looking like a remix of his base design so I figured I'd try out something a little different for him.>Forgot he had an umbreon.I don't feature the Pokemon he keeps with his grandpa in Johto enough so I wanted to include some here. Ecruteak has some autumnal lookin forests to ball out in right? >>56817941I hope I didn't make you wait too long <3>>56811541>>56814780You're really pumping these out one after the other and they're coming out so good too. Keep up the great work anon, may you never experience burn out :)>>56812232Holy shit bibi-anon you never really miss do you? This was so perfect. The kumeta koji inspo really shone through and you got so much packed into just 15 pages. This is the best treat this halloween. also rip bibi ;( (and happy birthday to her as well!)>>56814852>>56814881And these outfits? Pure peak.>>568149032 for sure>>56818731Have a great time, we'll be listening to your music until then <3>>56812865So happy to see more Adeline content! Both her gym and rematch teams are full of immense character and flavor, absolutely love it.
>>56819867ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BRENDOOM!
>>56819867>Three questionsAlright>1While he fights him a lot, does Brendoom consider Grym a friend of sorts?>2How close is he with his sister? He must be a nice brother if she doesn't mind taking care of him a lot>3What happened to Venomoth?>>56819901Lucky Miko, got all the chocolate coins.
>>56814852>>56812232Oh shit. Thanks to your unceremonious posting, I almost missed it (yes, I'm choosing to blame you instead of myself for having no time to read the entire thread).Gotta say, it was very Zetsubou-sensei indeed, and the meta references in the typical wall of examples had me acting the [tsukomi] thinking "you're not supposed to say those!".Also, since you said your parody would reference manga only stuff, I actually tried to start the manga to see if I could get far enough to get said reference(s), and. . . did you just spoil me the ending?Well, I'm sure the actual ending has more to it than that considering the afterword, and to be honest, it'll probably take so long for me to get to the end that I'll probably forget about it.Either way, it was great, thank you for such cool Halloween gift (for the thread).Could you get a glimpse of how it is to be a serialized mangaka?>filename
Got over a hundred trickertreaters this year (I hand out the full-sized bars), how'd you guys do? >>56819901>I hope I didn't make you wait too longI'm just glad you're here. I pride myself in seeing every single post, so I was pretty distraught when your midnight post somehow slipped past my notice. Won't happen again, probably.
>>56814383>>56819780>>56812232>Bibi ReviewI don't know how about Instantlergram or Rugrattattas. "Forged In Hellfire" sounds like the name of a cookie cutter deathcore band like Shadow of Intent or Brand of Sacrifice, it's a perfect band name for someone pretending to be extreme but really just obsessed with kayfabe. Alto continually and shamelessly dropping Cid Kagenou tier lines never fails to get me and the nail polish was also funny. Is there a reason how he got this way? I think there's potential for a running gag of him continuously trying to justify his feminine tastes. Bibi continues to be super huggable and punchable. I'm still waiting to see more of Alto in a crop top. And the others as well too.>Koa ReviewAdmittedly, a bit cliche, but I liked it a lot. Like the other guy said, you should probably proofread it once you get the cover art done. Personally, I think you should change all of the "Dragon/Fighting Type" to "Dragon and Fighting Type" or just "the Dragon". I also should warn you, on the second page you forgot to put spaces between the paragraphs starting with "Rushing", "Ma", "It's", and "Go". IIRC, dashes between words do not have a space between them.I struggle to envision a boat home shaped like a Gyrados, as well as a Kommo-o with a shit-eating grin, but it's a cool concept. Koa's manner of speech is interesting and pretty well developed, he's very clearly 14 years old with strict parents, unironically saying "heck", and I don't take issue with the dialogue-heaviness, it's expected for an exposition and I don't really care how long a build-up is as long as it's worth it. The tour guide scene was my favorite and the "pet dragon" comment was hilarious as well as the "Darumaka droppings". "Z-Noodles" are cringeworthy but very Alolan. I think you could have extended Hemlock's speech a bit it might also be too early to have Tapu Fini falling ill but I'm looking forward to the more action-focused Chapter 2
>>56820150>question oneBrendoom's judgement is hazy and he doesn't deem anyone as truly evil, so while he does sabotage Grym's plans on weekly occasions, he also invites him over to the volleyball match literally next day, picrel is him barging into Xavions apartment uninvited for similar reasons>question 2Natty arguably cherishes her brother way more than one might think, Brendoom's love and appreciation are primitive and don't usually go deeper than "they're part of the family and i love my family, so i love them by default", in fact unlike him, she is well aware about what happened next question related>question Brendoom doesn't remember his childhood. Strangely enough, his only memory of the past is his mother's favorite color was purple
...brendoom and grym are enemies?
>>56821881More like "accidental rivals". You see, people were talking about a "mean trainer", and Brendoom went to see who this meanie was.He saw Grym having a fight, and his team was so scary and powerful, Brendoom though "he has scary pokémon, so he must be evil!"There are more dangerous criminals than the edge master, but Brendoom is too much of a hothead to realize it.
>>56821939Ohhh.I thought you were talking about the goth girl lol
Here’s my Grass-type Gym Leader, Woodrow. Gives you the Lumber Badge.
>>56822028I can see the differences. In fact, I made the mistake as well.>Grim: from Grim Darkwood, edgeman extraordinaire>Grym: from Grym, the cutie patootie goth girl that deserves all the pancakes she can eat>>56822088That's not a badge, that's an axe!
>>56821881>>56822028You're quite new here so I'm going to fill you in.First of all, it's Grim, like the word, not Grym. Now for the actual loreIn January 2023, after Hirocima and Niggasaki killed the first /tog/ in December of 2022, two threads emerged from the rubble. The first was Kayda, which was a coomer thread, kind of like the fetishmon thread but centered around type specialists, revolving around Kayda, a redhead with exaggeratedly large breasts, who, depending on who you ask, was created to make fun of new Dragon types such as Hydrapple and Archaludon that weren't "dragon" enough, or was created to satirize people who criticized Dragon types that weren't "dragon" enough. The second thread that emerged was Edgyverse, a thread centered around making fun of the OCs made by popular Twitter artist Nyantcha AKA ThiccWithAQ AKA 00_Homura for his Zirca region. He is notorious for being a giga coomer nigger who pretended to be a woman and was doxxed a while ago on /vp/ (not posting it). The thread made fun of the Zirca OCs, in particular Champion Vos Xavion and Poison E4 Dorado Guerrero for being outrageously edgy to the point of being blatantly out of place in the Pokemon setting, like Alexander Heriot x10. There was also another OC named Grim Darkwood which was created by a 25 year old Colombian man who watched too much shonen, somehow managing to create a character that was even more unironically edgy than the Zirca stuff. Contrary to what some people believe, Grim is not a parody OC, he is 100% serious, and is also not related to Zirca at all; his creator was just aping Nyantcha. An unknown anon created two phases for his special snowflake Mega Tyranitar with multiple abilities and STAB versions of other Pokemon's signature moves. Brendoom was also created around this time as a counter to the raw edginess of Edgyverse. Anna and Hasumi also emerged around this time. Edgyverse and Kayda both died off due to becoming stale, /tog/ is reborn, the rest is history.
>>56822198It is important to know that 1. Grim's creator never intended for Thanatos to have multiple phases, and its only known move is Stone Edge and its ability is just Sand Stream, and 2. Grim is really not that hard to beat, Alex solos him easily, Bibi solos him assuming she brings all of her Ubers/OU Pokemon, Franco arguably solos him just with Annihilape and Iron Valiant, Tesoro COULD solo him, Koa also once tried to argue that Mo-o can solo him with this set.
It's still Halloween somewhere.finally finished the spooky story.https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS6pJ3PYAb2oAQDE9jaBNbVcWeJtvGyGnEO03ebrhfOeUeH34FZnzIaD9dOZzFla_RM8yFHAYGHsU-r/pub
>>56821486Hey, thanks for the review. I wrote it with a very spaced out schedule and I might’ve missed a few things. I might draw what Koa’s boat home is actually like sometime if you have a hard time imagining it. Also, Z-Noodles are from the games. I didn’t make those up. I’m just sticking to the games. I also have that “running out of words to describe a character/ Pokémon by something other than their name” problem, I’ll do my best to not do that next time.
October 30th and 31st: HalloweenNovember 1st and 2nd: Día de MuertosAs long as I can party with good music, costumes, and lots of candy, I say let the ghosts stay! Some tunes to keep the vibe.>https://youtu.be/TbwFsnL995M?si=AeHTix50T9_yiUGV>https://youtu.be/3fYzacWm0QI?si=e6K0mhfTKtg11UIP
Halloween buzzer beater.He got lots of candy.
>>56823186Lucky Volbeat
Bump.Emily's not really all that involved with Halloween and kinda just roams around at night watching others doing Halloween things.
>>56822535You may be the first person in eighty years to be fortunate that California exists. Nicely done, anon.
>>56814383My lack of motivation strikes once again as not only did my odd urge to try drawing bases for some reason suddenly just evaporate today but I don’t even have inspiration for continuing the interview. I cannot wait to get this over with.>>56824125Given how Halloween originated, I’m actually left wondering how people transplant it to the Pokemon world. At least “Palentine’s” seems to have some kind of lore behind it.
>>56824816>I’m actually left wondering how people transplant it to the Pokemon worldSomething involving ghosts. Don't need more than that at this point.
>>56824816Easily. In our world, Pokemon are inspired by culture; in the Pokemon world, Pokemon inspire culture. Someone saw a troop of round-bodied Gourgeist marching up and down the streets of a town or Misdreavus sneaking up and scaring the soul out of some poor sap in the dead of night and thought to themselves "But what if?" The rest is history.
Alright, let's accomplish something great today, /tog/.
>>56825790I will not accomplish anything great today.
>>56825875>t. Alexander the Great
>>56826545Thank you, bump bro. I was wondering how long it would take us to float further down the catalog. Ahhh, quiet afternoons.
>>56825790my technicality works both ways, I'm done for now and I'm off today. It's the first day that actually feels like fall to me. October kind of sucked this year.
>>56826858I think I know what you meant by that?>October kind of sucked this yearOctober didn't even happen, it was just an extended September. Suits me fine, really. I had to wear a winter coat over my Halloween costumes growing up and yesterday was a beautiful summer day.
>>56827257I was talking about my spooky story.>beautiful summer dayI yearn for the cold gray skies
>>56825219I like to think these days are the annual days where Ghost pokémon suffer a surge of power, and to calm them down they give them sweet tributes. Funny enough, people discovered they preferred sugar and pumpkins, so they started to give sweets and pumpkins.Also, since the Ghosts appear nearby cemeteries, people started to gather in those places to remember those who left as well.A sweet tradition, going strong to this day.
>>56827530>I was talking about my spooky story.Oh, sho' nuff. I was way off the mark, then.>I yearn for the cold gray skiesI'm just going to let that slide since we're such good friends and all. >>56827535Pokemon Trainers are so lucky to live in a world where their animals are all robust enough to eat caffeine without nuking their livers.
>>56827639>Without nuking their liversI mean, have you seen their powers? A hard diet wouldn't be out of the question for some species. Fast recovery of calories would be a solution, and a solution is to eat ANYTHING. That's why Snorlax and Swallot are ready always: they just devour everything.
>>56828063Oh, absolutely. Their metabolism is off the charts to be able to pull off the magic that they do. >SwallotAhh, good ol' Swalot. How I wish you were better than your Poison-Type peers. When a younger me envisioned what my hometown would be like in the Pokemon World, I had Gulpin and Swalot signed on as street cleaners (this was before Garbodor and Trubbish were around). I still say Gulpin is the superior janitor. Trubbish just collects all that trash, Gulpin melts it down into energy. It's just so much more eco-friendly as long as you keep small children and pets away from them.
>>56827639>I'll let it slideSo generous.I'm gonna work on David's Battle Frontier next, looking for more fun stuff like that to write before I dive back into Gilded Platinum.
>>56828391I was thinking about doing something different and making a prepackaged adventure for people to run their characters through to break away from the interview meta. We've got a pretty good grasp of how most of our dudes function in a conversation, let's see how they handle being out in the field. But we are 13,000 words into Episode 6 and by God I will get this done before I let myself get distracted again.
>>56814383So you know that "drawing tablet" problem that I had? Well it turns out that my 2 in 1 laptop alledgedly works fine as one. I still need to buy a pen and I'm also asking around to see if it's worth even bothering with it or not. What do you guys think
>>56829378
>>56829326Hell yes, go for it!
>he fell for it
>>56829411This kind of over explanatory process always makes me wonder: are vorefags REALLY into this stuff?Because if your stomach acid is strong and hot enough to burn a FULLY GROWN HUMAN, you'd have a tummy ache at best, and melt yourself at worst.Seriously: human digestic acid SHOULDN'T be as powerful as fucking industrial acid vats, stomach mucus aside.
>>56829378>>56829411>>56829468>>56829474Do you have any trainer OCs, Aldithanon? They can be members of Team Plasma and her companions, perhaps?Like those two niggies under her and Barret, called Schwarz and Weiss.
>>56829549Knock it off, retard.
>>56829610
Jannies are being extra lazy today. Shame.
>>56829664To me, it makes me wonder how the fuck Shaun overcome the 15 minute check with his bots.Anybody can wait, but can he be so desperate for attention he waits in different devices, with different IPs mind you, just to annoy everyone in /vp/?
>>56829679It's to be expected of a curly haired manchild like him.I have an entire discord server dedicated to archiving and laughing at his pathetic exploits. You'd think he'd become self aware at some point.
At least it seems like he's been image banned.Let's talk about our favourite OCs made by other anons.
>>56829701>You'd think he'd become self aware at some pointAutistic people NEVER become self aware. Chris Chan has proved this.
>>56829724I like both young and older Luke. I also like Hasumi, Grym, and Circe's goth clothing.And Bibi is a cinnamon roll too pure for this world, we must protect her as much as she wants to protect us.
>>56829767Grym and Hasumi are adorable, Luke grew on me and I think he's fun, Bibi is cool as heck and Circe awakens something in me fierce and primal (respectfully)Also Circe and Grym's themes are so good man
>>56829724You're asking me to name my favorite child. It really can't be done. Even the ones I don't really care for I can still play devil's advocate to understand the appeal or appreciate the artistry behind them. It'd be easier to list off the ones I don't like, which is pretty much limited to the flat characters that were just concepts that never went anywhere. I see OC differently from most people. I'm not content to just say "I have an idea," because that's the bare minimum. What are you going to do with that idea? Anything? No? Then why should anyone else care? It's not really fair to say I dislike them either, because there's not really anything to dislike. Moreso disappointed that the creator didn't apply themselves. If there's one that sticks out to me, it's from the early days when I was more of a passive observer, we had a regular whose OC was a safari park ranger in a jeep. And that was it. His contributions to the thread were "Yeah, my OC is a safari park ranger. He drives a jeep."Silently, I was begging and pleading and hoping that he would actually elaborate or expand on the idea, but he never did and then he left. It could have been so much more.
>>56829769>ARE YOU AWARE OF HOW MUCH OF A COON YOU ARE?I'm not a coon, I'm a spic. Get your insults right, gentile.Gentile, becuase I feel your 'people' would rather ignore you that acknowledge your existence.

>>56829923Oy vey
>>56829880This was a fun one-shot that I got to run for the editor in PTA. E-Chan is a very, very, very, very, very difficult person to try to please, so even though Big E never touched that system again, the fact that I managed to chisel a smile out of stone means I might have done something right with this. I'll clean it up and make it more universal when I'm done with the real important work.In true archivist fashion, that's the actual area code for the Ashoro District in Japan. The rest of the number is fake and splashed over with mud just on the 0.01% chance I ever posted this image online. Don't you feel lucky.
>>56829993>>56829981Anudda shoahKeep replying and posting your gay fanfic scraps so I can add them to the discord and give the jannies more fuel :)
>>56830024Hey, I'm sure you're having a blast but can you two pick this up in some other thread and quit wasting our post limit.
>>56829951I love that! Such a good idea for a one-shot. I once put the Okinawa police station number in a handout (don't remember why, other than it took place in Goldenrod which is based on Okinawa). I also made this nifty newspaper icon to do background story arcs like the champion going off to Kanto.
Is this thread always like this?
>>56830744Not really. Is just Shaun having a full meltdown. No idea how he keeps going.
>>56830774Shaun? Seems more like a bot.Like they wrote a script to autopost. I'm not saying it's the anon's of the thread's responsibility to reign-in their schizo, but...I mean. Sort of.Reign-in your schizo.
>>56830803That's the thing: if it is a bot, how the fuck did he manged to overcome the captcha?How do you program a bot to wait 15 minutes, and then go post after post after post the moment he can be left free?No, I think this is more like a raid from some Discord Server. And I know because one similar post happened in other thread, but they forgot to delete the "copy" part>>56829171
While his name is probably something like schlomo nosenberg, it's a lot easier to tell (((who))) I'm talking about whenever I call him shaunberg. One can't help but notice how it's always the kike shills and their hired shitskins who support him, or his filthy jew family that lets him reset their routers, or his fellow jews who let him beg them for freebies.He'll never be able to deny this because shaunberg, as a yid, has no spelling errors when typing in his native language, yiddish. Meanwhile, whenever he tries to type in English, so many typos abound. This alone is enough to out shaunstein as a filthy jew, who was kicked out of Nasser Yorat University and not New York as he tries to imply, and was rejected from the University of Tel-Aviv and not UTM. As a member of a (((tribe))) with a professional victim complex, shaunberg's only available instinct when punched by a single pajeet was to curl up and beg for mercy, then play the victim later, rather than fight back like a real man would.
>>56830834>>56830834oh. And here I thought it was something ...quaint? like a thread schizo bleeding into other threads. It was just most prominent here, so I thought it was the source.so it's a discord raid? I'd filter if I wasn't already on record for saying 'filtering is for the weak'.
Despite the shill begging for mercy for his pet kike, shaunberg, I'm proud of the rest of you for standing up for your thread. Don't worry, shaunberg will still be upset about me in the morning, and it'll affect his mood for days to come. Eventually, he'll screech at the wrong people and get kicked out of yet another place - 109 in total. Or he'll get into another road rage, and this time, he won't make it to the hospital in time.
>>56830859>It was just most prominent hereThat's because we are one of the more active threads during night time, mainly because of some guys who have free weekends to enjoy, and one non burger who usually works night shift and only has wednesday free.
That's another perfect example of how shaunberg can barely speak English, but has no problems typing out his yidjabber like "HASBARA"! One can't help but notice how it's always the kike shills and their hired shitskins who support him, or his filthy jew family that lets him reset their routers, or his fellow jews who let him beg them for freebies.He'll never be able to deny this because shaunberg, as a yid, has no spelling errors when typing in his native language, yiddish.

If you didn't think shaunberg was a plagiarist before, you can be sure he doesn't have permission to copy shit blindly from AO3 or whatever dumpster he scavenged all of that from! One can't help but notice how it's always the kike shills and their hired shitskins who support him, or his filthy jew family that lets him reset their routers, or his fellow jews who let him beg them for freebies.He'll never be able to deny this because shaunberg, as a yid, has no spelling errors when typing in his native language, yiddish.

>>56830871I don't know, it takes a lot of effort to flood multiple threads. I mean, for one person.That's why I thought it was a script. Sorry about your thread. I guess our jannies are sleeping.
It's shaunstein, then! While his real name is probably something like schlomo nosenstein, it's a lot easier to tell (((who))) I'm talking about whenever I call him shaunberg. It's obviously something shaunstein is able to type more easily than when he tries to type in English! One can't help but notice how it's always the kike shills and their hired shitskins who support him, or his filthy jew family that lets him reset their routers, or his fellow jews who let him beg them for freebies.He'll never be able to deny this because shaunberg, as a yid, has no spelling errors when typing in his native language, yiddish.

>>56830920>That's why I thought it was a scriptNah. Nowadays everything is a Discord/Reddit raid.Is like a war of attrition. Why bother with bots and code when you can just grab as many idiots you need and point to a random area.
>>56830803>your schizowe don't claim him
Even if the pozzed troons from shitcord and the primitive shitskins from sharty threw shaunberg under the bus when they started getting shot three times, they're still the ones who taught him how to ban evade, since he doesn't have the IQ to figure any of that out on his own. One can't help but notice how it's always the kike shills and their hired shitskins who support him, or his filthy jew family that lets him reset their routers, or his fellow jews who let him beg them for freebies.He'll never be able to deny this because shaunberg, as a yid, has no spelling errors when typing in his native language, yiddish.

This is the kind of shit that makes me wonder: should we even bother to report?I mean, the evidence is everywhere, they know when jannies are resting, and here we may mock them, but then what? They will keep barfing this crap anyway, ban or not.Besides, we can make a new thread. They may whine and cry, but we remain strong. Something they will never be.
I've always kind of wondered if there's a lot of crossover between this thread and the fanfic thread.The closest I have to an OC is my self-insert. Like if you were to TTRPG pokemon for me, the character that I imagine I would be is sort of an OC. But what do you do with an OC after you create one? That's sort of why I'm asking if there's crossover.
>>56831111Honestly do whatever you want with it, write, draw art, interact with others. just have fun with it.
>>56831111Nice quads.Well, I usually avoid writing fanfics, mainly because I feel the Pokémon world is already a fanfic on it's own. You don't necessarily have to be part of a "Save the World" story, you can make a sweet SoL story, or an adventurous one. Maybe even a horror one if you want to go for lore accurate Pokémon. Lewd is another can of worms I'd rather not openBut when you have an OC, is basically putting a character in that world, and see how he develops in it. His goals and failures. His dreams and fears. And even the unnexpected lessons, for both the character and writer.That's what I do with OCs: put them in a scenario, and see how they develop.Side note: the only 'crossover' I have between my OC (David) and my stories is the name of one of the characters (Zynthia)
>>56831177It's sort of a... time? If I can reuse the TTRPG metaphor again... or analogy? Creating characters is fun. I can see why people do it. Creating teams for those characters is fun.But going through an entire campaign is work, and I don't really have time for it.I was just curious though.
>>56831186>IS CYNTHIA DEAD FOR GOOD IN YOUR UNIVERSE THEN OR WHATShe is happily married with Steven, got a kid who became one of Hoenn's E4s, and her younger sister became the new Sinnoh Champion.Both are enjoying their lives in Celestia Town since is the closest to Mt Coronet.
>>56831199I see. Well, I never played a TTRPG, so maybe another anon can help you, sorry I couldn't do much.
>>56830803How are you this new? He's a board issue, it has nothing to do with us.
>>56831217>It was going to be a long nightThe fact you are posting THIS EXACT SENTENCE makes want to believe you have some sort of evil timing, next to your crappy fetish.But that would require actual intelligence to pull off, something you never had in the first place.
>>56831219yeah, I got that. And I'm not new anon, I just come here for a few weeks and then fuck off for a few months, and then come back. It's been like that for years.As I said, I only thought it was 'your schizo' because this is the thread getting the MOST shit, so I wrongly assumed it originated here.I can only take so much /vp/ before I have to take breaks. also, despite what people say, /vp/ was, in fact, not this bad back then. Not even referring exclusively to the current issue. Just in general
>56831261You leave first, underage loser. This is your idea of a Saturday night?
>>56831213It just means that creating a character is fun. In a ttrpg, creating your character is where you get to express yourself before going through an adventure. Think about backstory, and motivation.A fan-fic is creating a character AND an adventure. (and setting, world, side characters, etc.) Some people create characters for a story. Some people just like creating characters
>>56831213>>56831199>TTRPG mentionedOoh Ooh! me! me! I have experience. Though you don't need a whole campaign per se, do some cool slice of life stuff. Maybe a gym battle. I have a Gym battle I ran for my players you can look through and get inspiration from if you want. It's a really big technical read. because it uses a lot of PTU terminology, but you should still be able to write a little something for yourself with your OC in that scenario.Take a look: https://pastebin.com/jc6cwL35starting at line 21 should be good, it's a little intro plus what the gym leader does. again, it's mostly just how to run the gym for a game, but feel free to write whatever you want from it.
>>56831111Nothing too centralized, mostly drawing, be it various outfits, various scenarios or various interactions. The latter leads to some fun battle interactions, so there's also that.
>>56831253We are the ones getting shat on the most by him because at least one retard here keeps egging him on and encouraging him
>>56831338so /tog/ leans more into being an art general or concept general? >>56831353yeah, I've noticed. I've been here for a while this morning. I frequent the board, but am kind of a tourist to your thread. My main question about how this thread interacts or crosses over with the fanfic thread has been kind of answered.That thread is more writing, and this one feels like it's more art-leaning.
>>56830850>>56830890>>56830906>>56830936>>56830976>>56831207>>56831234I want my bumps back damnit! At least the thread won't be dead when I wake up. Forgot to work on my MS Paint Ilex today. I did however make some progress since I last updated it. Might switch to photopea. idk I usually feel more comfortable in that software.
>>56831374Honestly it's a bit of both, while the main focus are the oc's themselves. Not everyone here has the skillset or the drive to draw their chars, so besides slop the only other option is writing fics.As for the fanfic thread, I don't go there too often so I can't tell you how big the intersection between the threads is, but while there the fics are the focus, here they're the means of of the character process
>>56831374We do half-and-half, typically. You should check out the links in the OP.
>>56831421Really, it's about self-improvement through our mutual love of Pokemon. If you want to be a better artist, this is the thread to study under some very talented artists. If you want to become a better writer, this is a place to practice by creating a narrative for your original character's adventure. Other threads pull from other sites, while everything posted here is a /vp/ original. We just ask people to leave their fetish posting elsewhere. We're not opposed, there's just other threads for that if you need it.
>183 postsConsidering we reached around 260 posts before the purge, I will just say wow.
>>56831603Jannies not doing anything to stop this, but only deal with the cleanup. Although its not their fault we got in this situation to begin with
>>56830803>your schizoHe's a schizo that belongs to the entirety of /vp/. He's existed before and after the revival of /tog/.
>>56831096There's never been a reason to reply to Shaun but some retard keeps doing it anyway and needs to be beaten like an unwanted child IRL for doing so.
Drama?!? In MY /tog/?!?Who the hell is Shaun anyway?
>>56832199The vorefag.
>>56832180People pretend to ignore him but it’s not working at all
>>56832277Responding to him does more harm than ignoring him so don't act dumb.
>finally back to work again>there's a crown of thorns costume prop and an unopened stanley cup waiting for me on my deskIt's the little things. Hey, does anyone remember what Tweny's fire-type team was? I only remember the Blaziken that he had forgotten about. >>56832199I'm as surprised as you are.
>>56832277Because people keep responding to him
>>56815893man was your fic worth waiting a year for! in the event of something unfortunate happening to koa's parents i'm adopting him. you mentioned it being dialogue heavy but frankly i really do like that you take the time to explore the characters and their emotions, it's what makes the world feel alive to me, so i wholly welcome it. comes as big of a shock to me as it did to koa and hapu that as kahuna she wasn't in on development plans, and i'm really excited to see how the conflict between technology, nature and the careful balancing act plays out in the future! i think your scriptwriting studies really show here, felt very much like i sat through a tv episode!>>56820262haha yeah i guess i kind of did, my bad for not putting up a spoiler warning beforehand. it's just that whenever szs comes up all people ever seem to talk about are the recurring gags or the ending. usually the latter. you ARE right about the fact that there's more to the ending than what i did here, and frankly you don't need to go through all 300 chapters to get the last 10 or so. szs is a gag series, it doesn't really lend itself well to character arcs or long plotlines because the structure of the series would have to change to accommodate that, which doesn't really serve its needs as a gag/satire manga... if you already met the whole class+itoshiki's family and get the overall structure of the manga you can probably dive right into the ending. while i'm not in love with szs on the whole, the anime did shape my sensibilities a decent amount, and the ending continues to be a thing i think about at least once a year so even if you don't want to read the whole thing (i didn't since finding all the scans was ass back in 2013) seeing the ending feels worth the while. serialized mangaka are far stronger than i could hope to be>>56829817oh she's adorable!!!
>>56819780>>56821486glad you were entertained!>I'm In Despairthis one's actually a pretty direct reference. while i had leeway with arven/penny/nemona a lot of bibi's dialogue had to be put through a sorta szs style filter. you can watch this to from 2:40 to 8:15 to *sorta* get the gist of the characters she's supposed to take turns emulatinghttps://youtu.be/-yKzalMqBHE?si=ZYiflfZ_C4CsKpf_&t=161 the official subtitles translate "zetsuboushita" as "I've lost all hope" but back in my day we called that being in despair i felt it would've been like asking the audience to do homework so i neglected to bring this up in the afterword, but maybe that just made things confusing>countrythat's something i actually got into all the way back during vega's first round of questions. while it translates into what looks like a country accent in text, when bibi's comfortable with those she's talking to her speech just gets fast and lazy, like she doesn't hit her consonants very hard and words blur together a bit. it's actually another reason i chose nanawo akari as an ideal VA since she does something a bit similar sometimes>Instantlergram or Rugrattattasyour only choice is to love them because i'll put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger before i stop making puns>rinarina's actually pretty blunt and direct, the main difference between her and say, someone like bibi is that rina's soft-spoken and a bit more formal in word choice, which i think adds a sort of punch to the fact that she can come off as borderline harsh/terse when speaking to people who aren't nyx (and, as demonstrated, she's not above teasing or bossing around her partner either)>>56819901i'm glad you had a fun time reading! i for one am thriving with your breakneck pace on delivering stellar art pieces. costume? adorable. gimmighoul? precious as hell. miko art never fails to impress. love how you've been handling backgrounds lately!
>>56833135>>56833135Bibi-Anon, could you do me a favor?Can you clarify the connection between Bibi, Tesoro, and Alto? Are Tesoro and Alto also academy students? Are they all friends with each other? It's been so long. I don't remember. =/And lastly, are they nice people in general or a bit on the mean side? The writefag notes indicate that they can be a little... vengeful. It's been so long. I don't remember. =/
>>56833272>>56833272aha sorry.....some of the stuff in the pastebin's pretty outdated, especially when it's comes to character notes>bibia different take on the scarlet protagonist! first year student at naranja, technically friends with alto but they're almost always teasing each other or bickering which usually leads people to think they're on worse terms. she's a nice girl at her core but more or less having grown up in a hospital resulted in a severe lack of social experience, so she has a bit of trouble navigating interactions+a tendency to be insensitive. gets better about this by the end of the story but the issue doesn't disappear entirely.>altoan upperclassmen of bibi's, but he's very dedicated to his dream of being a vkei style vocalist so he never wears the uniform. he may or may not have a deal worked out where he refrains from doing "concerts" on campus in exchange for dressing how he wants. he's great with instruments but a terrible singer, and is almost always seen with his toxtricity. multi-talented but not much of a battler at all. he's not nice per se, but not a bad guy either, and can be surprisingly sensitive irt others' feelings. generally though he's frivolous skirt chaser and a completely over the top chuunibyou>tesorotechnically a naranja student but he and bibi never meet while he's in attendance, i wager he'd have graduated by the time scarlet ends since he's in his last year. he sorta exists as a "what if" villain to give the scarlet cast trouble a few years after canon events wrap up. doesn't really care for anyone rather than himself and is willing to attack people to get what he wants, so not a nice person at all, even if he can convincingly act the part. absolutely obsessed with the treasures of ruin. may or may not be a reincarnation of the king who once owned them.if anything else needs clarification feel free to ask! i have a lot of ocs so i'm sure the lore's a pain to track
>>56833453Thank you very much!Some additional questions:>BibiWould it be accurate to describe Bibi as "a cinnamon roll with spunk" or does she unintentionally come off a little awkward and blunt in her speech?>AltoDoes he still have Obstagoon attack people that insult his singing?>TesoroTesoro mentioned a loss to Bibi in the Alex/Damien interview. I imagine that's still the case? Is he bitter about it?How quick is Tesoro to pull that knife he carries? And how frequently does he commit acts of petty theft like pickpocketing? He kinda has that "opportunist" vibe, but with his sights set high.
>>56833571And one more question:Does Bibi like tea?
>>56833571>bibii guess both are true? as much as bibi tries to play nice with people she'll sometimes comment on things that she probably shouldn't. it's usually not mean-spirited, her innocence is just a double-edged sword. doesn't stop her from coming off as blunt or annoying though. she's got enough energy to maintain a certain level of charisma/charm, but you can still expect her to say something that grates on others' nerves (ex: making a comment on how people actively avoid fighting nemona, not realizing that she's striking a sore spot there). she turns remorseful if she knows she's hurt someone's feelings, but the problem is that you'd have to spell that out for her to get it. if you ever want to read the luke+alto interview you can see that she's a lot more focused on doing nice things for people rather than using words to solve problems. i will say she does have a very aggressive side to her though.>Obstagoonhaha admittedly i'd change this a little. obstagoon moreso just intimidates, though if anyone tries to get rowdy it'll definitely step in. if anything, primarina's the one to worry about, she's violently protective of her trainer since he and the team have been the only support she's had since she was a popplio, though she acts on her own will rather than alto's, he'd rather just avoid any fights altogether>bitterincredibly so, and it goes both ways since he betrayed her trust. he's not quick to pull the knife at all, generally speaking i still treat pokemon battles as the major way to settle any conflict, but adding a pretty serious instance of human on human violence is how i sell that he's scum there's also a metaphor there in how he literally reopens bibi's old wounds, as if the past haunts the present. he's not very strong at all, so he only gets physical when he's 100% certain he can get away with it or that it's his only option. while cautious though, he's not exactly immune to a lapse in judgement.
>>56833726yes! her dad's a bit of a health nut so she's actually very used to drinking the herbal kinds or green tea without any sugar, on that note though, growing up with him+a lot of bland, gross hospital foods means she likes to eat/drink really sweet/salty/spicy things when she can. so depending on the situation she's either going to be drinking something super healthy or loaded with sugar
>>56833854>>56833864Your responses are very helpful. Thank you, Bibi-Anon!

>>56834579Thank you, bump bro. I'm so fucking tired I can't even pretend to think straight. I miss those creature features I used to have the brain cells to type up. Maybe I'll do one on Vivillon if I survive the trip home. Hell, I'd be willing to take requests.
>>56835059Just rest your head for a bit. That should help you out.
>>56835631Yeppers. It's been a long, busy year for us all and I'm starting to feel it more and more as the days get shorter. I'm gonna make the most of that extra hour tonight, I promise you that much. I don't think I thank you anons often enough for all that you do. What a year it's been so far, I'm grateful that it's been spent in good company. Thanks for helping my dreams come true, /tog/. I'm sleeping myself to death tonight or I'll die trying.

>>56814383Well, this is an... interesting leak. What do us outfit designers think of this?(Google) Translation:>[People] Check from cultural background>The shorts are tight and short, and the shiny black leather material is gay/SM>It makes an impression on the character.>It looks like a stripper.><Revision Proposal>>Wear longer, looser pants.
>>56837024>seeing children in bicycle shorts makes me think of gay sexWew, laddie. May had literally the exact same shorts in gen 3 and got to keep them in her redesign just two years earlier. Look at her artwork, they practically traced it. If the issue is with boys wearing bike shorts instead of girls, why not give that outfit to Chicken-chan and design something else for the boys. Like a Lycanroc hoodie or something.
>>56837024I remember a while back when Wolke was trying to design that long faced dude with the sleeveless shirt he was trying to figure out whether or not shorts would look good with it and it was generally agreed that shorts on men go out of style around the age that they hit puberty. I agree, and I think the comments that the staff made are actually pretty interesting. I think there's an argument to be made that, within the realm of anime, it's actually gayer to wear shorts than a crop top.>Aether from Genshin Impact>Ayerscarpe from Arknights>Wallace from Pokemon>Sai from NarutoThey all show their waists but they DON'T show their legs, which is quite interesting, and there are a few more examples out there. Independently of that, is it just me, or is there a lot of sexualization of thighs in anime? Even fully covered, we're all aware of the trope of characters being sexualized with thick legs (which is why I take effort to describe Alex's legs and ass as skinny and flat). Notice how staff didn't actually comment on midriff or arm exposure at all. As a result, this might be why it's less gay to show your midriff than your legs as an anime guy, as well as the fact that when sexualized, thighs are often paired with ass, both of which are accented by shorts. Using pants, aside from just being better looking, is a mechanism to stop the outfit from being too gay.As for the actual outfit itself, it's kinda ass, and it doesn't fully commit to being "tribal" or just "referencing" Kommo-o. Either you go full scales with the crop top or just ditch the scales on it, but the scales hanging in the middle against the plain design of the shirt looks weird.When I was designing the fantasy outfit for Alex I was a bit on the fence on the Aether style waist exposure but nobody seemed to call me out on it. I would never make a design like that for standard Pokemon, but since it's anime fantasy I guess it's okay. I dont know why I spent so much time writing this

>>56814383Luke's response to being welcomed to the Battle Frontier: https://pastebin.com/HtarSfBR
Bump before bed. I STARTED Chapter 3 but I'm kinda stopping and going atm as I figure out what I want to even do for Chapter 3.
I'm tentatively calling her Evelynn "Eve" Adam.In the old past, she was the princess of the Eden Kingdom, but an incident destroyed said kingdom. The very same incident granted her immortality. She spent the next few centuries hanging around the remains of her old castle and what was once the civilization that surrounded it, even after it began to overgrow with vegetation, forming a forest, and become a home for wild Pokemon and such, and even after her noble wear weathered away due to the elements. As the last living royal of the area, she considers herself leader of the Pokemon that call this place home, and has made herself one with nature in an attempt to deepen her connection with those she considers subjects.Golurk was tasked with protecting the Royal family, even before she was born, so it protects her. The ruined Eden Kingdom is also home to many Florges-managed gardens. Her main partner is a Ninetales she had raised from a Vulpix.

>>56839422The writefaggotry page, at the very top of this thread.
>>56839410Cool concept, but please put some clothes on her.>>56833066Thanks for the kind words! I guess there’s a bunch of family drama in my story, so I wanted the conversations and arguments to have weight. I wanted to show the difference between Alolan leadership and foreign bureaucracy by having Hemlock’s team convince the Kahunas to leave Hapu out of the paperwork, since she’s too young for it. I’ll go more in-depth about what exactly happened next chapter, but they didn’t exactly agree out of malice or anything. The Kahunas, all of them, are still going to be very important recurring characters.I’m glad it read like a TV episode to you! That’s what I wanted from the start. My goal is for people to be able to read Chapters 1 and 2 as a 20 minute TV two-parter with ads in the middle or something. You know, like an actual pilot episode for a show, which are often longer than the average episode. Chapter 2 will definitely be more action-packed.
>>56838106>I dont know why I spent so much time writing thisThinking about crop tops again.
>>56832284>Implying I’m the one responding to him No I more so see him everywhere, sigh and report him just like most people should do.
>>56839410Ah, so you were the one asking about long-lived species a few weeks back. I'm glad to see those posts bearing fruit. I covered for you the first time, but you really need to put some clothes on her. I get the theme, but it's a very slippery slope into fetish-posting if we allow it.
>>56839735This. I like the idea, but maybe a leaf should be on her. Maybe 2.
>>56839410Please put some clothes on her. She may be immortal, but she probably still gets cold and sun-burnt.She should be able to craft her own clothing from natural resources.-Even in hot climates, people would wear grass or bamboo skirts and animal skin tops. -Where resources were especially scarce (and ochre available) full body ochre paint was worn for sun protection.-Even in nudist colonies etiquette requires carrying a towel with you at all times so that you have something to create a barrier between your body and furniture for hygienic reasons and sanitation.
>>56840104And one more thing: walking around without shoes isn't fun. Rocks and sticks are sharp!
>>56839422As the anon said, the writefaggotry link in the OP. Though I'd say Chapters 1 and 2 aren't my best work. Solo fic writing isn't my forte and I usually write WITH people. Ideally Chapter 3 should be much better after some input from both chapters. I'm not putting my work onto any of the main fic sites until my solo fic writing becomes as good as my actual writing when in a story RP WITH someone which probably won't be till idk...chapter 5?
>>56840104How about a dress like the one that Florges wears?
>>56839505The pyramid was tempting, but domes are round. reminds him of a boobie
>>56828958I was going to ask if anyone had a ready-to-go one-shot TRPG thing that I could try with my friends in an afternoon. To see if they'd be interested in starting an actual Pokémon RPG.
>>56841256>>56814383It's the bottom four links
>>56841256My bad pimp, you said one-shot. Those are encounters. I'll write one of the one-shots I've done before and add it to the megapaste
>>56841567Yay, thank you
>>56841256Depends on what you're looking for. There's two dedicated Pokemon tabletop games, Pokemon Tabletop United (PTU) and Pokemon Tabletop Adventures (PTA). The latter PTA branched off from the former, and its main selling point is beimg heavily derivative of base D&D 5e not requiring an Excel spreadsheet to play. PTU is much more freeform and complex and probably isn't abandonware. If you have time to wait, I can link you to a folder for the version of PTA I have along with >>56829951 the tutorial adventure I wrote up to coach people through running the game in a way that appeals to my specific idea of how I would handle things. Which I guess also means the rest of you will be getting the edited version to use as a writing prompt a bit sooner than expected.
>>56841719I didn't know there were different systems. I've been part of a DnD group since high school but we hardly find time to play together these days, and most refused to move on from 3.5 because they didn't want to relearn the rules. But even with their 3.5 knowledge I think they could probably adapt to PTA more easily.I can wait, you don't have to rush things. Thanks, bro!
>>56841848Yeah definitely go with PTA. It's a more GM friendly system
>>56841848PTA will be pretty familiar to them, then. Defense and Special Defense convert into AC, you're rolling above dice checks to use skills, so on. The system revolves around using Type advantage to make the most of the Wizard-style spell slot system. Weak moves like Tackle and Ember can be used at-will, strong moves like Flamethrower can be used three times per rest/per day, and powerful moves like Fire Blast can only be used once per rest/per day. Playing optimally means rotating your mons efficiently as they burn off their strongest attacks or being clever with item use. Having Player 1 order their Kingdra to use Blizzard while Player 2 uses their turn to feed a Leppa Berry to Kingdra so it can use Blizzard again, for example. Unlike PTU, mons do not level up individually--instead they get stat boosts and extra options as your Trainer ranks up. An Ace Trainer can add their Strength modifier to their mon's attack and damage rolls; a Contest Coordinator can tutor Helping Hand to give teammates fire support. All you need to do is bookmark a mon's stat block in the Pokedex and make a note of their HP and what six moves they know, so there's not too much accounting work. It's all very accessible but I personally love the way it handles Trainer Classes. You start off as one of six archetypes, then as you rank up, you can specialize into certain roles or pick up to two new archetypes to make yourself more all-rounded. Lot of options for you to explore.

Regardless, I think Eve has a pretty cool concept, if keeping her nude is important to you, you might want to consider the bayonetta route and give her an outfit made out of her hair- i sketched up sm quick as an example. I think that sort of long haired, godiva-esque route would also evoke that sort of nature freak/secret garden vibe. Also the fact that one of her nipples is only covered by the cuteifly happening to fly by is kinda wild lol. Still, looking forward to seeing more from you and Eve.>>56841719>>56844636Thanks for this anons. I'm a pretty big dnd loser who tried and gave up on PTU in the past, but PTA seems pretty neat.

The way you write NPC’s really adds a lot of depth to the story and breathes new life into an already well established world- it really freshens things up. I don’t know why, but that Vince character really resonated with me. I don’t often consider the supporting cast of one time characters, NPC’s, background actors, and nobodies in my stories, but this has really got me inspired. You truly have a gift for this kinda stuff Luke-anon. I don’t know if I can wrangle up some friends to play or run this one shot myself, but maybe I can try and incorporate some aspects of this in into my stories or a writing exercise. Regardless, bravo.

>>56847584Yes, handsome, you called? >>56847951We haven't gotten there yet. Soon, soon. Trust the plan.
>>56847075Aw shucks, thanks man. I create npcs the way I do because their meant to add flavor to a story. They're important to me to get right since they make the world feel real and lived in. I have simple story arcs for most of the ones I make and have them grow both on and off "screen" because they're doing stuff while the players are doing player shit. It gives them reasons to interact with the world around them and invest in its people. >VinceFor example, I reused this guy in a bigger campaign and the players would find him in the most bizarre places needing their help because he tripped over a partially submerged Krookodile or something. The players liked him enough to try and help him be more safe on the road, only to find out he made a fortune teller angry and she cursed him with bad luck. They spent an entire half session trying to convince her to let him off the hook. I hope you do find a group to play with. I'll keep making stuff like this until my Visions From Celebi game is basically compiled into a runnable campaign module.>>56847951I didn't draw those, but you're welcome for the one-shot. I hope it's useful for you.
>>56814383Well, it seems like my brain is now actively avoiding getting back to writing Black Blaze. After I finish the interview, my motivation is mostly going towards writing an explanation document for the Alex EIF stuff, because I feel like some things weren’t adequately explained or elaborated upon. On top of this, not only did I gain a resurgent interest in drawing due to realizing that I was putting the cart before the horse in how I was going about it, but I also continue to think more about that fantasy AU then Alex’s actual storyline. I’m committing to finishing the interview and explanation document before going back to Black Blaze. Now, speaking of that fantasy AU>Hydreigon>Ceruledge>Marowak-A>Baxcalibur>Malamar>KingambitI built this team a while ago for a scrapped project I had, which ironically would probably take less world building than this. I don’t think I’ll be using the villain of Alex’s canon storyline for this because of difficulties with what I’m imagining for the plot currently, and also to have a bit more freedom as opposed to having to transplant everything from his canon storyline into the AU. My question is, would it be a bad idea to give a bad guy a Heatran? Although it’s been portrayed as somewhat heroic in the anime, ingame, there’s an argument to be made that Spiritomb is more legendary than it. Heatran is probably the least legendary out of all of the Legendary Pokemon, its only “Legendary” quality is being exceptionally rare and powerful (just a bit more than a pseudo). Its status as a gendered Pokemon lacking breeding capabilities suggests that it’s just a Pokemon born in volcanic caves. Aesthetically, Ceruledge pairs impeccably well with Marowak-A, but it’s not only dogshit outside of Trick Room, it’s not even that good IN Trick Room. I could do some semi-room shenanigans with Malamar but neither of them are very good. Heatran provides much more defensive and offensive power to this team.
>>56848429>not only did I gain a resurgent interest in drawing due to realizing that I was putting the cart before the horse in how I was going about itmfw>Heatran is probably the least legendary out of all of the Legendary Pokemon, its only “Legendary” quality is being exceptionally rare and powerful (just a bit more than a pseudo)It's Legendary for being the oldest living creature on the planet. They're primordial, older than even the Super Ancient Groudon and Kyogre, living avatars of the planet's molten core. But yeah, there's nothing wrong with giving legendaries to villains if you can justify it. A protagonist is only as worthy as their strongest antagonist.
>>56848429Legitimately glad you're drawing again.I think Heatran is fun and doesn't get enough love.
>>56848541I’m not “drawing again”. Between finals, the exams I have before Thanksgiving, finishing the interview and Alex EIF Explanation, and getting back to Black Blaze, and the fact that I don’t even have a digital pen yet, I’m a bit pressed on time budgeting. I really want to get Black Blaze finished before this year ends and there’s a good chance that I don’t actually attempt until next year. I don’t even fucking play video games anymore due to the time crunch and I also just want to get back to gaming this December.
>>56848595Fair enough bud
>>56833902(-_-)ゞ glad to be of service>>56822535it took me a bit to read but i'm glad, the chill setting in lately really helped me get into the story. charming cast in a classic cabin in the woods scenario immediately gets you ready for things to go terribly wrong and i liked the build up into the really spooky parts the way you describe froslass really helps make it feel like some terrible monster instead of a pokemon i absolutely love, so you totally nailed the big scares!>>56839410glad to see you've done more work after popping in for opinions on pokemon for an immortal! i think artistic nudity has its place but this *is* a blue board so that stuff's probably not going to sit right with most. another anon already beat me to the punch with the bayonetta idea but failing that, i do think having her wear clothes primarily composed of plant matter or thin, natural looking fabrics can help make her look more regal, fae-like, and one with nature if you decide to ditch the nudist angle. i'd volunteer ideas but that'd have to wait til i'm off work>>56839653>Thanks for the kind words!thank *you* for the fun writing!>>56845582>>56845870>>56846072>>56846407>>56846750as always i'm astounded by how fast you make such great work anon, didn't think we'd be hearing about that particular guard again either>>56846578btw great work on having her hair drape around her like a dress!
>>56848429>More team building stuffI had the idea of replacing Hydreigon with Mega Charizard X, and actually, this team did originally have Mega Charizard X on it but I swapped it out for Hydreigon because Charizard is cliche. However, although Hydreigon is a quintessential evilmon it’s fallen off recently, I think most Pokemon would be at their Gen 8 power level since we don’t have Paradoxes, UBs, or Legendaries (excluding the birds, Heatran, and any other “minor” legends that aren’t super difficult to obtain) running around, but Hydreigon still kind of fell off because of Faries being introduced, and a villainous Charizard is an interesting idea to explore. That being said, although Charizard can fly over Ground attacks, it’s also stacking weaknesses with Heatran and Ceruledge, and makes BBEG’s team too weak to Sneaky Sediments deployed by Glimmora + its STAB and coverage. I did actually consider making past Paradoxes available in this setting, but given that they’re a product of the professors and the Scarlet Book, I’d have to stretch it. If I go with “Pokemon world but fantasy”, the two options I have are>They only show up in Alola due to Ultra Wormholes reaching into timelines where the Paradoxes are real in addition to UBs>The Scarlet Book is some kind of McGuffin in Paldea that someone used long ago to summon the Paradoxes to our timelineThe former is stretching it a little bit while the latter introduces a conflict that I do not want to exist, because this story is absolutely NOT focused around a McGuffin. If I go with a homebrew setting like what I was planning, I can still use either of those or just make them endangered species of some kind that actually ARE evolutionary ancestors. The only issue I have with a homebrew setting is finding out where regional forms and Legendaries may dwell. The former can be just called Variants and the latter isn’t difficult to figure out but I would need to make “lairs/dungeons” for it
>>56848807>wake up>have no idea what I'm doing>have no idea what I was planning to do>have no idea how I did all thatFucking fairies, man. I like how the zippers on those jackets get progressively smaller by the hour. At least this morning I remembered how many earpieces a pair of sunglasses has (two, if you're curious). >didn't think we'd be hearing about that particular guard againI've been mulling over the idea of drawing up the side hoes of EiF like Ida, December, so on. This would have been Lucie's appearance, but I guess I decided it was better to use the idea on something I'm definitely doing instead of saving it for something I might do instead.>>56848913>a villainous Charizard is an interesting idea to explore.Agreed.
>>56814636I've always liked Jynx. Mostly cuz I'm a sucker for big kissable lips and drew them from time to time. Then while watching the Gyaru Sushi video of the waifu world tour there was a pokemon section where they included Jynx in the "gyaru". And all I could think was "a Jynx that is a gyaru is such a fun idea". So I quickly whipped up a trainer for her and drew some pixtures and ended up getting such a positive reception I wanted to keep developing them. So in that way it's veery self indulgent. It makes me so happy to hear people have started to see Jynx in a more positive light because of Ruka.
>>56848913>even more teambuilding stuffThe good news is that since Malamar is a turbo shitmon that serves no role in the team besides “low quality mixed attacker” it can be very easily replaced. I was thinking either Great Tusk or Roaring Moon, but the team has enough dragons in it already. If I can’t find a way to justify Great Tusk, I can just put in a Donphan. Garchomp is another option but kind of cliche. Tyranitar is also cliche and the main villain of Alex’s story has a Mega as his ace and I want to put a degree of seperatipn between this guy and that guy. Ursaluna is another option but just kind of looks weird next to the other mons. Nidoking is an option for a special attacker that this team is kind of lacking especially if I replace Hydreigon. Haxorus is redundant because of Baxcalibur outclassing it in every category except for looks. Crawdaunt is an option, but it’s obscenely slow and easy to revenge kill. Mega Gyrados competes for the Mega slot and I really don’t like it as much, same thing with Mamoswine vs Great Tusk/Donphan. I’m open to suggestions from Gen 8 and 9 UU/OU/UUBL.This has now gotten me thinking about the team of the actual villain of Alex’s story which is>Mega Tyranitar>Skarmory>Toxicroak>Annihilape>Pangoro>IncineroarI’m thinking to replace Toxicroak with Nidoking and to put Scizor somewhere here. Thing is, it can’t set hazards like Skarmory can. Greninja could replace Pangoro or Incineroar (probably Pangroro because Incineroar has more utility) and Gliscor could be considered instead of Skarmory for less passivity. Mamoswine was what I had before Toxicroak replaced it. I also considered giving this guy a Heatran but decided against it for a few reasons. Ferrothorn is an interesting option defensively and for hazard setting but it’s also quite passive. Haxorus could also replace Toxicroak. Rillaboom is an option to replace Pangoro while being thematically similar. Again, I’m open to suggestions.
>>56849297>It makes me so happy to hear people have started to see Jynx in a more positive light because of Ruka.I always loved Jynx, but having her with a cute innocent gyaru girl who only wants to have adventures makes her more adorable to me.Ruka and Rouge are great.
>>56848807Thanks! I hope the ending wasn't too disappointing, I just figured that once the ghost is found out to be a Pokémon, you can just catch it. Plus I thought it was funny. I really wanted to depict Luke's and Nox/Suzi's parents when they were younger and I think this really did a good job of that.
>>56849644>posted one hour ago>we were still on page 4This board is finished, I tell ya.If you're using Malamar for anything other than Contrary shenanigans with that paltry 68 special attack, you're a fool. Give him that Greninja if you want a Dark-Type wildcard.
>>56850020Something about the shading just isn't sitting right with me, but I don't want to waste more time being finicky about it. Onto more important things. A lot of times I feel like my lineart looks better without color, but that's just my subconscious trying to weasel out of doing more work and you can see me actively fighting my own left hand in the way I often shade cloth folds. >>56849297>Mostly cuz I'm a sucker for big kissable lipsAhhh, so the plot thickens. And here I was all this time thinking you just liked blondes.
>>56850359https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ssPdKQ_g_E
>>56850020Malamar is an AWFUL Contrary user, the only actual way it can boost is Superpower. To remedy this, I was considering giving it Psycho Boost but given that the only things that learn it are Lugia and Deoxys, it’s probably too far-fetched. I don’t even like Malamar that much but it’s a very good evilmon thematically, issue is that it’s just unviable outside of the early game. Wholly outclassed by Lurantis and Enamorus physically and by Serperior specially.>GreninjaI don’t know if you speedread that, but I wasn’t considering giving Greninja to Fantasy BBEG, only the actual canon one (they’re completely different OCs). COULD Greninja work with that team? Yeah. That team needs some speed control and priority. I’m a bit iffy about putting two shillmons on the same team, so I might keep Hydreigon if I go with Greninja.>>56849644As for the actual plot, this is what I have so far (I am doing my best with mechanics but still do not understand them fully)Episode 1 opens in a sort of deserted area. Alex is traveling with a family in a covered wagon transporting goods that aren’t important but also not elaborated upon (gotta preserve that mystery). He’s kind of being an ass, and justifying it with “You paid all of this money to put up with me”. They come across another wagon that’s a bit busted, with a wheel off of it. Some guy in a turban is sitting down outside of it pleading for help. Alex tells them to move along, but of course, the family stops the wagon. “Call an ambulance, but not for me” ass nigga pulls out one of those Arabic swords, his son and (maybe) some random guy spring out from the back and demand that they surrender the goods. Wife gets scared, dad calls out for the Adventurer, but he is nowhere to be found. Alex comes out of Invisibility, towelhead gets his head turned into ground beef by a magical pistol (if you know who Clorinide is, kind of like that), all parties involved look on in horror (Continued next post)
>>56850359Haha funny you say that cuz blonde is actually my least favorite natural hair color.It goes Black >red>brunette/brown>Blonde
>>56850455Son gets pissed and lets out a Rhyperior while the other guy gets his head blown off by Alex’s other pistol (yeah, he still has two of them, most rogues in 5E use two knives). Alex puts away his guns and Rhyperior goes down to Samurott-H before being mercilessly cut down by Alex’s claw gauntlets. The child of the merchants is yelling about how AWESOME that was while the father chases down the loose Numel and the mother begins to rethink their decision about hiring someone who said he was doing it because he just needed a ride. >”Okay, new rule. I’m going to charge you extra for each time we get into trouble that could have been avoided. This one’s on me, because I’m nice like that.”Merchants get going and we cut to the scene where they arrive at the town at night. Alex gets off and gets paid and it’s at this point that he goes somewhere to wind down. This WOULD be a tavern but I’ve been watching a few videos that have told me that medieval Europe didn’t really have taverns the way that so many fantasy stories portray them. After this, he goes somewhere in the town where a lady with a Sneasler outfits his claw gauntlets with the poison injectors I mentioned in the original post. He then decides to test them out, and that’s where the title of this episode comes from: Crossroad Killing. Fortunately, a few thieves are in town ransacking houses. He tails their wagon as they leave unnoticed. When they’re far out of town limits, he strikes them along with Weavile. One of them begs for mercy, and it’s at this point that Alex does something really awful to him, I’m not sure what yet, but the current plan of action is for Alex to strip him naked and parade him through the town while everyone throws spoiled food and manure at him, or just strip him naked, burn his clothes, and force him to go far off to the next town. Alex then goes to a nearby lake in order to bathe, and may or may not fight a Gyrados that’s not happy about
>>56850556
>>56850581He calls it a day and goes to sleep in an inn. It may end there or there may be a scene of the thief arriving at the next town.A critical detail about this is that Alex has some really edgy nickname like “Frostbite” or “Night Terror” in infamy as a result of being exceedingly brutal in dealing with criminals in addition to being seemingly untouchable to the average scoundrel.I do not know what will happen after this aside from some plot points, but I do know how this ends. Basically, in between that and the ending>Thief gets really pissed, makes a deal with a fiend and trains his ass off to become stronger than Alex (mind you, Alex is at Level 15)>Warlock finds Alex somehow, hits him with a critical Hurl Through Hell, Alex somehow gets away>Warlock puts out a message stating that he will “utterly destroy” any settlement he visits and discovers to be hiding Alex>Uncannily, he is right on Alex’s trail, nuking the village that Alex was planning to take refuge in with some magical bomb that he stole from an Artificer, and Alex doesn’t want to go back to his father’s estate because that will put his family and the Heriot Mining Company in danger>Locals are scared shitless due to rumors of Shadow Pokemon becoming common after a place is touched by this guy>Alex continues like this for a while before managing to contact HMC, decides to take a large sum of his father’s money>Uses it to hire a bunch of adventurers, either one-offs with little characterization beyond personality traits, outfits, and Pokemon, or potentially other people’s OCs>Build an entire fake settlement far away, continue being on the run, fighting henchmen whenever the Warlock himself can’t be bothered to go somewhere>Army is too busy doing fuck all because basically everything outside of the capital city is de facto bandit land (this is why Adventurers exist)>Fake town gets completed, Alex goes over there and waits for the guy to comeContinued
>>56850639Gohan lookin headass.
>>56850670>Alex uses Vicious Mockery gifted to him by a bard that strangely resembles Venti>Out of nowhere, some Braviary throws down an anti-magic field Alex bought>Cut off from the Fiend’s powers, the Warlock engages Alex in a Pokemon battle>After losing, Alex gives a signal and he jumps him with all of the Adventurers that he hired>The anti-magic field may or may not run out of power at this exact time, if it does, we then transition to standard DnD combat>Warlock gets defeated, gets horribly maimed, gets crucified>Generic celebration sceneI figured this works much better than the “Orb of Pure Anger” storyline because it keeps the same motifs of Alex’s story, namely, “No good guys, only bad and worse” and a conflict of revenge and domination instead of classic good versus evil, but it subverts them by reversing the roles, in the normal story, Alex is the hunter and his enemy is the prey, but in this one, it’s the opposite. As for how Patrons work, I had the idea that they are just Legendsries or Mythicals, I even had the idea of a Genie Warlock with Tornadus being a comic relief character in reference to his ability Prankster. Not sure what works for a fiend, I thought of Pecharunt but idk if he’s evil enough.Yeah, I’m aware that RAW you can only cast Greater Invisibility on yourself and not standard Invisibility but that’s fucking dumb and the foundation of DnD Homebrewing is “Because I made it the fuck up” so I’m going to let him be invisible. Alex getting Vicious Mockery despite being an Arcane Trickster will either come down to Not Venti letting him steal the prepared spell or just a homebrew system where you have limited capabilities to learn minor spells that you normally shouldn’t
Only four days late, and also grossly late into the night, but that's what I get for playing VNs and sitting on my ass instead of drawing.Anyway I had fun with the lineart on this one, felt more satisfied with it than previous works. Also I will shll Furudo Erika's laugh it's amazing I love that intellectual rapist so much.

Hey, remember when I said I was planning a peach-inspired, Grass/Psychic Cherubi regional form to serve as my region's mascot? And how I said I'd do a shitty doodle of it? Well, I finally got bored enough to actually do that at the back of a notecard in the middle of a lecture, so here it is, the drawing and a few design notes.I feel like I had something going with Cherubi but I struggled to make Cherrim distinctive enough, aside from the stamen antennae. Turns out peach flowers aren't that different from cherry flowers.As for lore, my idea was that the weather from this region (tentatively named Meloko, forgot to mention that before) causes Cherubi to grow bigger than usual and prematurely assimilate its vestigial head, which unlocks the psychic potential in its brain. Again, I'm still coming up with ideas for Cherrim, but I went as far as to think of an ability for it: the inverse of Flower Gift, where it gets a Sp Atk and Def boost from psychic terrain rather than sunlight.Honestly the more I look at this the worse it gets but I'll let you all be the judge of that.Side note, I'm starting to wonder if coming up with a completely new region is too big a project for it to be my first writing exercise in here, but I figure at this stage I might as well commit to it (it's not that I have never written anything, I just have never written anything Pokemon-flavored).>Thread questionMerry's always been conflict avoidant, so she doesn't really play pranks on people. The meanest thing she ever did was to send her former Lampent to hang out by the houses of the kids she didn't like at school by night, to scare them into thinking their time was up.
>>56851795Ahem, why the fuck do phone pictures always end up turning sideways.
>>56851795>causes Cherubi to grow bigger than usual and prematurely assimilate its vestigial head, which unlocks the psychic potential in its brain.Oh, that's brilliant.>still coming up with ideas for CherrimThe flower details are nice and distinct and I love the way they fold out when the sunny form emerges from its leaves. How about dropping the petal on its forehead and giving Sunny Cherrim a peach-shaped head so the crease in the peach skin looks like an oversized brain? >>56851800Rotating an image on your phone stores the adjusted position as metadata that 4chan scrubs along with other personal data when you post the file.

>>56851826>How about dropping the petal on its forehead and giving Sunny Cherrim a peach-shaped head so the crease in the peach skin looks like an oversized brain?Not a bad idea, noted. Another possibility I just thought of is giving it two heads, maybe to represent the vestigial head manifesting once more; maybe I'll doodle both just to see which looks best.

>>56851168I should have clarified: RAW you can cast ONLY Greater Invisibility, normal Invisibility can only be cast on things you touch. Idk if there’s a loophole for, uh… touching yourself…
>>56852504In Sinnoh, Heatran is said to have been born when Mt. Coronet was created. Mt. Coronet is also stated to be the point where Arceus created the Sinnoh Region and then the rest of the world and universe. Put these two myths together and it paints Heatran as the very embodiment of a nascent world, a happenstantial or unintended or beta test creation that pre-dates the birth of Time and Space. It is one of the first Pokemon to ever exist. According to myth. The myths that we know through firsthand experience to be based on truth. recent leaks also imply that Mt. Coronet is a Giant's corpse, according to some moon rune interpretations, so it could also be the lifeblood of the fallen Giant reborn.

>>56852939And yet, for all of that, it never got anything beyond the Mt. Coronet lore. I’d be more inclined to think of it as legendary if there was only one, but there’s multiple of them, they just seem to be born from volcanoes.
>>56855412Legendary origins, then speciation occurs. Heatran is probably native to the planet's asthenosphere, traveling through the mantle to feed on molten metals and occasionally breaching like whales into volcanoes across the world when the heat and pressure within their environment becomes too much to tolerate (Heatran's body partially melts in some places, so it isn't invincible). Or to breed. My personal theory is that Magma Stones are actually Heatran eggs, and that's why the idea of taking a Magma Stone out of its resting place causes Heatran to go on a rampage. We see similar behaviors with whales that will raise their calves in shallow, nutrient-poor nurseries where the young can learn how to swim while being protected by the mother before taking the plunge into deeper waters. In previous threads, I also speculated on a similar premise for Rayquaza up in the stratosphere. The 50/50 gender split seems to imply that both Heatran parents take turns guarding the Magma Stone egg, and that you aren't committing accidental infanticide by catching the male or female that you encounter.
