Forgot The Bump EditionContinuing the 'I Woke up as a Pokemon, So What?' AUPrevious >>58841099>FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon. Some are having the time of their lives, and some are struggling to survive. These are their stories.>How do I join?Just start posting.>What's the lore?People and animals (and at least one tree) are changing at random in their sleep, waking up still in the real world, but now as Pokemon, and nobody knows why (that includes you. Please don't try to explain it). Just enough transformations are occurring to notably change day-to-day life without collapsing civilization. This is not the apocalypse, even if it might feel like it to some characters in the moment. Some people are more in touch with their instincts than others, and some have lost more of their humanity than others. That's about it. Avoid legendaries if possible.

>>58912708>Meanwhile, at the FDA, some poor schmuck has to classify all the new substances introduced to see if they are fit for human consumption.>Gets the option to chose between Salazzle pheromones, Reuniclus jelly, and Dragalge poison.
>>58912826Oh God, the sheer number of poison types with unique secretions would keep lab techs busy for decades.
>>58912849Lucario would be an object of interest too, with broad-spectrum poison immunity and a mostly flesh and blood physiology.
What new kind of Olympics would be created with Pokémons in the mix?
>>58913863I think you would have to do classification and evaluation like they do for the Paralympics. In the case of people who woke up as Pokémon, there will be some categories where they’re above the human limit while they’re impaired below the human limit for others.https://www.paralympic.org/classification
>>58913863Some sort of electricity manipulation event would be fun for electric types.
>>58914272>Pure Voltage>Pure Current>Arc Distance>Total Power OutputWould 3 Phase Alternating Current be a team event?
>>58912708>Forgot the bump editionThe Americans are still recovering from the Super Bowl, huh... I missed the bump because work kept me too busy for once. Mea Culpa. :(Working on the next part of our chocolate-loving, furry slinky. Shouldn't be too long, I hope.>>58913412>couple turns into two cute-mons.>they struggle to make ends meet and have to do side-jobs, like being the highlight at a child's birthday party or doing mascot work for various companies.I would watch a comedy centred around such a couple, ngl.>>58914044That's what would probably happen at some point. I do like more niche stuff like >>58914272, though. It would be hella entertaining to see bird Pokémon having races like you'd see with drones nowadays, while throwing moves at each other to get the upper hand.Have MMA style battles between turnees. Moves are allowed with some constraints to keep things interesting.Maybe mix figure skating with Pokémon contests, with a Mon-Human pair where moves could be used to do some fancy shit while they dance around on the ice.Some Olympics themed one-shots would have some potential, wouldn't they? Maybe that could be the thread theme for now?
>>58915050I could imagine it going something like this:>Year 1: Games nearly cancelled due to fears of infection or athletes turning>Year 3: Controversy over whether turned athletes are allowed to compete in their original event>Year 5: Pokémon compete in categories of the Paralympics>Year 7: Several new Pokémon specific sports have been invented and are part of the regular Olympics>Year 9: Shared events are allowed with peak performance Humans occasionally beating the seemingly superpowered Pokémon
>>58915153Imagine turning into a Cinderace and having a sport tailor made for you.
>>58915756>You enter a minor existential crisis when you realize you, a being of flesh and blood and fire, were made for the sport
>>58915756>WOOOO I’m gonna be a star and crush this game!>…>What the fuck does “offside” mean?
>>58915756Plot twist, the Cinderace finds they have more of a knack for taking down skeet shots with their balls.
>>58915785We all wish we could find that level of fulfillment
Skeet “shooting” would be a great general purpose display of mastery over any sort of ranged attack.>Lighting Bolts, Water Jets, Flaming Cinders, Seed Guns, etc.
>White guy turned into a bird pokemon discovering he can no longer sense capsaicin
>People start turning into creatures not even in the pokedex.>Turns out this shift even ties into Generations not yet made.
>>58915050All the Olympic talk and the idea of Pokémon being more physically powerful raises the inevitable question: When are we going to get a Pokémon Supremacist?>yadda yadda superior life form>something something next stage of evolution on Earth>humans bow down to their superiors etc. etc.You could play it as a straight villian, subvert expectations by having it come from something like a Butterfree, have it come from a morally gray anti-hero, or maybe even a regular protagonist putting up with anti-Pokémon hate?
>>58918233Plot twist: The Pokemon Supremacist is a human getting their misanthropic rocks off.
>>58918234>glowie false flag poke-terrorist movement to implement tighter regulations on Pokémon and surveillance on everyoneOh no, I’ve made myself sad again.>>58918161>A few people somehow turn into scrapped early designs
>>58918244Turns out it's just a regular Zork disguised as a BetaZork
>...Seems the gashapon machine's nearly empty after today. Guess we need to order another batch.>Never would've expected to become one of the characters in them after seeing them every day for a few years now.>Not like I can help it, it did just kinda happen outta nowhere, didn't it...>Oh, the line's coming in, need to go deal with the rail switch.>Come on, move over you...>There!>Oh, it's coming in, need to tell it the way's open...>...it's hard waving these flags with these tiny arms, how annoying...>And away it goes.>Didn't get to conduct today. Again.>What a shame...>Oh, there's the boss, my turn's over for the day. I should cross the line passes for tonight before counting today's sales...>At least jumping up onto my desk chair isn't that hard.>53, 54, 55...>More foot traffic than usual, isn't it...>Has word gotten around...?>At least the kids here seem to enjoy the show.>Part of me wishes I turned into almost any other Pokemon, I studied to be a conductor, not a performer...>Ah, another call.>"Hello hello, it's Yudakinshuko Station! How can we help you?">"...eh? Mr. Fukasawa? I-It's an honor! Please, how may I help you?">"Ah, yes, I'll get you in contact with my boss. Pleasure talking to you!">"Oi, president!">"Oi, what is it Denji?" He replies.>"Chairman Fukasawa wants to talk with you!">"The chair...? I'll be there in a second!" And now he's got the phone.>Where was I? 56, 57, 58...>"Oi, Denji! He says he's actually looking for you! He's asking for our pokehuman conductor, so I'm assuming he means you." Boss calls out.>"Oh, of course!" Dangit, hard grabbing the phone with these paws, how did the one in the show do it?>"Yes, it's me again! Huh? A... job offer for the Morioka - Miyako line? Why's that?" Boss gives me an intrigued look before... seemingly coming to a realization.>"Y-Yes, I can look it up, just give me a second...">" 「POKEMON with YOU」 Train?">Well, having turned into a Pikachu, I guess I should've figured...
>>58918283Oh man, being one of THE Mascot line mons would be a hell of a wearying thing.
>>58918161Somewhere, some poor soul has turned into sonichu
>>58918283Huh. It was a real thing!https://web.archive.org/web/20250715225540/https://www.jreast.co.jp/tokyo/jre_pokemonmegarally2025/
