Sir, this is a McDonalds editionPrevious >>59088690>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.>What the Hell is PIPS?In many of the stories, the scientific community in-universe has begun referring to Pokemon instincts and the loss of humanity some people who transform experience as Pokémon Induced Psychosis Syndrome, or PIPS. The term is explained in more detail here: https://rentry.org/sip-concepts

Thank you for making the thread, and thank you as always Macho for updating the archive.
I really appreciate how everyone in these threads keeps it in their pants and isn’t making it a fetish thing.
>Wake up as wurmpleI am so fucked. Need to survive the birds, and string shot alone ain't gonna cut it...
>>59195812Maybe start sleeping in more? If the early bird gets the worm, it’s the second worm that stays alive.
>>59195674How do I get transformed or can I choose or is it a random thing?
>>59197041It happens in your sleep. Nobody knows how. Don't try to explain it.
>>59197049So I can't choose it and it probably won't happen to me?
>>59197052You, as an entity in the fictional Earth where this is taking place, do not get to choose. As a matter of raw probability, you probably will not turn. For narrative conceit, we can probably assume that people aren't turning into mons in circumstances that will immediately kill them and/or others around them.
>>59197054So I am not allowed to use this thread. (unless I get increadably good RNG next night)
>>59197060As a writer, you can write whatever you want; the general advice is to avoid legendaries and don't explain how it happened or focus on the transformation itself. This is about your new life as a Pokemon, or the lives of people you know who have turned into Pokemon.
>>59197062>the general advice is to avoid legendariesDarn it! Anti-legendary discrimination hits again. Legendaries are truly the most oppressed class in the Pokémon world.So since Ninetales is already taken, I am assuming this is off the table too, unless I maybe take shiny Ninetales.
>>59197066There's no rules against duplicates.
>>59197071Then I just need to decide which one I take before I can start brainstorming.I am assuming this is about the real world, not the mainline games or Mystery Dungeon.Can I get a tripcode so nobody can derail my saga or will that get me bullied off this thread?
>>59197078Some of us namefag while others like Lucarioanon use images to identify themselves. Tripcodes are overkill in my opinion.And about the dupicates. I have nothing against duplicate protags, but I think it would be nicer to have more variety than the 10th Ninetails or Eeveelution. Just my two cents.
>>59197078Most people have either been Anon Posting or namefagging, but I don't think anyone will try to stop you if you really want a tripcode.
>>59197078>I am assuming this is about the real world, not the mainline games or Mystery Dungeon.And yes, this is correct.
>>59197112I think I can start the brainstorming phase then.Picking a chosen one is hard. Ninetales holds personal value to me because I played Ninetales in EoS but I get that it's also a popular basic bitch shillmon.
>>59197078Nobody can derail your saga anyway since this isn't a roleplaying thread (which I'm told is against the rules anyway). If you wanna write a story just start writing it and posting it.>>59197116Nineanon's story is pretty short-form and shitposty anyway. If you were to write something more long-form and serious with a Ninetales protagonist (which I'm guessing is your intention seeing as you're taking so much care to ask so many questions), they shouldn't step on each other's paws all that much. Unless you have your own penname in mind, I'll probably refer to you as Talesanon to distinguish you from him.
>Welcome to your new life of perpetual headaches>No, you don't get psychic typing out of it
>>59197616Or do you only think you don’t get Psychic powers, because you can never remember using them?>If it uses its mysterious power, Psyduck can't remember having done so. It apparently can't form a memory of such an event because it goes into an altered state that is much like deep sleep
>>59197616Just evolve, dummy
>>59198710>>59197664>>59197616>I wake up>I have a headache>Suffering builds character>I black out>I wake up>I have a headache>Suffering builds character>I black out

Fine. Fully Remote? No thanks.>No, you made a promise to yourself that as soon as you had figured out the basics like walking, talking, eating, and driving, you would still go out and about in town like normal, public perception be damned>And you kept that promise to yourself ever since >Thus, here you were months later, grabbing a shopping cart before heading in to the local Costco>It was busy in the typical way like you remembered, was it even possible to not have a line waiting to go in?>Your membership card in hand, you join the crowd and slowly make your way in.>Oh, that’s new… they scan your card instead of just flashing it>Is that going to be an issue?>You don’t exactly look like your photo these days
>>59200940>You hold your membership card up to the scanner and start to explain to the checker“It’s my first time coming in a while, what d-“>>”Welcome In. Next.”>Ah. Best keep the line moving.>Well that wasn’t bad at all.>You’d say that was the first hurdle cleared, but that was nothing.>Electronics and Appliances are the first thing they bombard you with>Your phone was holding up just fine and you could purchase discounted personal computers through the IT department if your assigned work laptop wasn’t enough>You probably weren’t thankful enough that your fingers could more or less work regular keyboards and touch screens without issue>Keeping your phone on a lanyard was a bit different, but adaptation had been the name of the game>Only having a total of 6 fingers didn’t make you very confident in your grip>Reaching into pockets wasn’t easy either, so you did your best with the old man special.>Speaking of, the next section was clothing>You had built up a skill for carefully threading your talons through pant legs without tearing them to ribbons>Shirts were practically impossible but the hood and wings satisfied your psyche enough to never feel naked>Over time you’ve grown to appreciate the faux bow tie and the sophistication it gave>The plume was still a bit silly to deal with>You were pretty sure it was actually taller than the ones the marching band uses>Shoes were out of the question entirely>All of this did help to cut down on the laundry you had to do>Oh, that reminded you to get detergent and dishwasher pacs>Next was Snacks>Then Patio Furniture?>The thought of perching on top of the children’s swing set crosses your mind for the briefest second before you laugh it off>Even if you wanted to do your “king of the world” scene, there were plenty of better places and ways to do it.>Then Wine and Spirits>None for you, thanks>Now the Bakery
>>59200975>Besides picking up twice the amount of bread for less than the usual price, something else caught your eye>Two Bite Brownies>As a child, you took that as a challenge to purposely eat them in any other number of bites>These days, the beak made things a bit different>You hadn’t tested the limits, but you could effectively swallow whole a disturbing range of sizes>After all, no teeth meant no chewing>This meant wiping down your beak frequently with napkins or a handkerchief as food kept getting stuck or leaving residue on the outside>Imagine how dirty the outside of your teeth would get if they weren’t in your mouth>Yuck.>To stay polite, you made it a point to always only take small bites, even when no one was looking>Learning about owl pellets for the first time was harrowing and dare you say traumatizing>God protect you from ever having to experience that>Alright, enough of that. Keep moving.>The walk in refrigerator was on one side next to the bakery>Might as well do an experiment while you’re here>This was probably the coldest environment you had access to without traveling North to the mountains>How would you handle it?>You decide to leave the cart and slowly walk a lap inside>The initial burst of wind from the air curtain primed you for the shock as it jostled the leaves and feathers that made up your hood
>>59200981>2% Milk - So what’s the other 98%?>The initial bite of the cold is immediately felt on the outside of your arms>Eggs - Wow, they still make those?>Consciously or unconsciously, you pull your wings in tighter against you and start walking faster>Orange and Apple Juice - They DO grow on trees, so why is it still so expensive?>Feeling your talons on the concrete, there’s only a slight separation that keeps your body heat from seeping directly into the ground>Cotton Candy Grapes - So we were playing God even before people started turning into Pokémon?>The air trapped between your feathers was holding the warmth in, but you can feel it starting to equalize with the air around it>Yogurt - Why do we need probiotics if we also need antibiotics?>With one lap complete, you have your information and duck back out>You could feel the cold starting to intrude.>If you had gone another lap around, it probably would have started to hurt>It felt like if you had more layers to your feathers you’d do a lot better>You’d end up dangerously cold if you were trapped in there>Good to know that you can’t handle the cold nearly as well as you would have expected>Despite looking like a hoodie, it was still your body exposed to the elements>From one extreme to the other>You push your cart directly over to the Rotisserie Chickens in order to casually warm yourself up>After taking an unreasonable amount of time “considering” which chicken to take, you grab one, drop it in your basket, and move on>Toilet Paper>Paper Towels>Water Bottles >Pet Food>How long until some industry tried to make Pokémon Chow?>Would they dare risk the backlash for dehumanizing turnees?>It had to have been well over a year now since the first cases>As you weaved through the frozen aisles, picking up ready meals for days you couldn’t bring yourself to cook, you came across everyone’s guilty pleasure>The sample carts were out
>>59200992>Where did they find such a steady supply of little old ladies to manage these things?>>”Popcorn Shrimp, just 8 minutes in the air fryer”“One please”>>”No shellfish allergies right? Okay, here you go young man.”>Now why did it never taste this good when you made it at home?>Even if you could have swallowed the nickel sized piece whole, you still bit it in half to get the crunch sensation >The next aisles had miniature pizza bagels, and defrosted frozen strawberries>Except for an “oh my” and a “aren’t you a handsome one?” they didn’t even make a direct comment on your appearance>Probably trained that way to try not to offend any other turnees>That did make you wonder how many others there were in the surrounding area>The conventional wisdom from the media was that ‘Everyone knows someone who has turned’>You should probably investigate the statistical validity of that>You had still never seen another Pokémon in person>In crowds as large as the university and a crowded grocery store, was that unusual?>Sounds like a variation of the birthday paradox… or maybe a Poisson distribution… there could be a paper in this>Oh!>You were so lost in thought you nearly walked past the aisle, even though you had been looking at it the entire time>This whole “turn your head farther than a human can” thing could pop up in odd places>You know you’d master it eventually, you just hoped you didn’t scare too many people in the process>Having an owl stare at you can be a bit unnerving>The final aisle had cheesecake bites and buffalo chicken dip>That was something you missed more than you expected.>Most birds are incapable of perceiving the pain of spicy foods>Apparently, you simply don’t have many of whatever sensor is needed for capsaicin to bind to so it just passes by>Most hot sauces just have the pepper and vinegar taste, but no heat at all
>>59201001>Once things got really hot, usually beyond natural peppers and when they started having stupid or vulgar names, then you could start to feel it>Good thing you weren’t a spice head.>Come to think of it, should you be avoiding chocolate?>Maybe just avoid the dark stuff and keep it infrequent?>Just before heading to checkout, you grab an unreasonably large container of multi-vitamins>You had picked up this pill popping habit after realizing that this body probably needed additional nutrients that you weren’t used to>Generating those quills constantly probably consumed some kind of resource>You didn’t want to develop whatever the Decidueye equivalent of scurvy was, so it was probably better to be safe than sorry>Checkout was decidedly boring>You weren’t trying to be anti-social or avoid talking to a store clerk, the self-checkout lines were just legitimately shorter>You wondered if the automated security system analyzing the cameras were freaking out about a giant owl instead of a human>So far, the humans around you hadn’t caused a stir>It didn’t feel like people were avoiding you, but with how crowded it was, you doubt they could have if they wanted to>At very least it was nice no one was staring at or filming you>Was it politeness, apathy, or even a sense of intimidation?>From a distance or viewed from the back, maybe some people unfamiliar with Pokémon just think you’re a person wearing a silly cloak?>The end result wasn’t objectionable, so that would stay a question for another time.>Had you actually saved money on this trip by buying in bulk?>Ehhhh… maybe?>You could and probably should crunch the numbers when you get home>Finally the food court
>>59201009>You might as well get the whole experience>A few taps on the terminal, a short wait, and a hunt for a table later and you’re seated with an inordinately large slice of pizza>Despite the smell of everything else in the food court, the rotisserie chicken in your cart next to you at eye level stands out the most>Your thoughts go to how you would butcher it to use in other dishes during the week>It’s weird enough thinking about how that used to be a real life chicken>Even weirder, was to imagine its skeleton and how it might look fairly similar to your own>If you laid on your back, arms and legs bent at odd angles… ugh>Granted, you were more of a bird of prey than a mere chicken>You had seen a video of an eagle tearing apart and eating a live chicken before>Not exactly a pleasant experience>The imagery and process played in your mind>It stood on top of the prey with the talons making initial cuts where they grabbed>It lowered down its beak and tore the muscle along the grain with a head movement before rising again>After a moment’s delay, it tossed the meat into its mouth with a practiced motion before starting again>That was NOT you>That could NEVER be you>You have usable hands, you have manners, you have utensils, you->Huh.>Now there’s a thought.>Whether you like it or not, you basically always had a knife on you with your quills>What if?>You discretely take two short quills from the leading edge of your wings>You don’t have the dexterity to use them like chopsticks, but you have a different idea in mind>In one hand, you hold it like a pencil focusing on the pointed tip>In the other hand, you hold it like a scalpel, focusing on the bladed edge
>>59201019>Poke with one hand to pierce the pizza>Slice with the other to cut a bite size piece>Carefully bring it up to your beak and eat it>Brilliant.>This certainly wasn’t an intrusive thought from whatever instincts the owl body carried>This was human ingenuity and creative tool use>For such a minor task, you felt immense accomplishment>It felt like learning to snap your fingers for the first time as a child>Unlocking an innate capability you didn’t know you had>This calls for a celebration>Maybe a churro?
>>59201027Hell yeah, Costco run!>LineHmm. Somehow it's rare that I've ever actually been stuck in one to get in. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or the local Costco itself is just small/old relative to the newer, more refined stores that opened later.
>>59201199Mine isn’t usually long, but it’s always 2-3 people back. Just long enough to grab your card if you forgot.
>>59201027A mega-post from ProfD? New thread just started and we already eating guuud.Heheh, swivel. Owl necks. Ayegeddit. It's funny - ProfD was able to figure out that trying to keep out of the public eye is folly, and Lucario was able to figure out that trying to lock away the Pokemon instincts is folly. If only each could see what the other sees.ID being rendered an absolute nightmare for governments and other authorities is something I am 100% here for.To be fair, Miloticanon could work a computer by slapping it with his tail, so you probably wouldn't've been TOTALLY screwed if you'd become something else. Probably.I'm still amazed he can manage to wear pants without looking totally absurd. Maybe he DOESN'T manage it...Boo for depriving us of drunk birb swinging around and around the bar by his talons.Yes, puking tends to be unappealing regardless of who's doing it or why. Experiment or not, I notice Prof doesn't seem to be over-analyzing quite as much as he usually does. Just make some bad jokes, decide that, yes, in fact, cold IS bad for grass types (who woulda thought?) and then move right along - more of a stream of consciousness than the hyper-fixation we're used to from him. The light meditative state of an effortless cognitive task must be helping clear his head a little. Just as well - even the greatest brains need rest. I mean if you want the TRUE Pokemon chow experience, literally just make mixed berry fruit salad. :^)In all seriousness, though, I'm sure some body plans WOULD appreciate some more easily comestible food formats. Nobody's ever tried to make kibble gourmet because there's never been a need for it, but if there's demand you know somebody's going to try.I must admit I've never had popcorn shrimp. I honestly think I'd actually enjoy being a 'mon that people can coo over the form's cuteness.
>>59201467Huh. So whereas Lucarioanon and many of our other protagonists are living in transformee hotspots, Prof is living.in a transformee desert. Having him finally meet another transformee would definitely be an interesting plotline in that case.As a professional spice hater, not being able to perceive spice heat sounds heavenly. And yeah, apparently chocolate is somehow even worse for birds, but Prof's no ordinary bird...The resource used to generate the quills (and other Pokemon moves) is dead-ass, straight-up mana. Should we do a storyline about scientists discovering and quantifying how PP works? Does that count as explaining the phenomenon?>the Decidueye equivalent of scurvyKekI feel like I've mentioned the inevitable hilarity of LLMs and other AI systems firehose pissing themselves trying to deal with this new reality before.>apathyNot quite apathy, but you'd be surprised how quickly humans can mentally adjust the weird into the new normal."Food court" always trips me up. Here such places don't usually have their own kitschy name for the entire cluster of shops and the seating as a whole.I dunno about the dinner chook comparison, but Prof would definitely look adorable posed like that.You don't have to tear live prey apart with your beak and humans don't have to pick nits out of each other's hair and then eat them. Shouldn't really need to worry about it.>This certainly wasn’t an intrusive thought from whatever instincts the owl body carried>For such a minor task, you felt immense accomplishment>Unlocking an innate capability you didn’t know you hadAhuhuhuhuhuhuhu... ohhh, nature finds a way, Prof... Nature finds a way. I love this - the idea of the instincts worming their way back in via these extremely subtle, easy to explain away mechanics has SUCH fun implications for out favourite birdbrain. Now I am fucking DYING to see this silly bird person finally try to fly...

>>59201467Thanks for the reply!I’m imagining the pants don’t look good, but it’s not terrible either. Functional yet weird enough to distract you from actually thinking about why people wear pants.Perhaps he might enjoy a drink later. Imagine how he might react if his first flight experience is waking up the next morning in a tree after seeing pink elephants. There’s a joke about pilots getting drunk before takeoff in there somewhere too. Unfortunately the topic of drinking is a bit of an author skill issue, but I’ll keep it in mind.As for his lighter tone, I’ve been trying to make him a bit more upbeat to give anons here a happier story considering events, and to subtly arc the story after his self actualization at the end of the “chapter” 7. Maybe this is Saturday Professor when he would have worn Hawaiian button up shirts instead of plaid or checkered button up shirts.The idea behind the stream of consciousness was that he was walking slowly enough to comment on every item in the refrigerator, only to feel himself slowly freezing. I was also inspired by the writing in the James Bond short story “For Your Eyes Only”.
>>59201550In general I’m trying to imagine transformations a bit rarer to reinforce that humanity is just chugging along. Same with the apathy point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHGN7Q7fKlA&t=39sThey call it a “food court” officially, in my mind it’s more of just a counter service restaurant. A true food court to me implies several counter service restaurants in a single place with a shared seating area, like in a shopping mall.I don’t know what a dinner chook is.
>>59201027I appreciate the banality of of this update. We seriously missed this kind of story for quite a while. Reading about a Costco as a foreigner makes it sound greater than it probably is. I certainly know no store here that has furniture, electronics, and food in a single store...>Someone poetic and slightly bitter might call this place a shrine to capitalism or consumerism or somethingIsn't this, like, every store in the USA? t. a European talking down from his high horse>The thought of perching on top of the children’s swing set crosses your mindA moment of instinct weakness or just your usual brain nonsense that happen sometimes? Hoo's to say.>Now the BakeryPlease tell me that you guys have a decent selection of (fresh) bread. I was very sad about this while I travelled around Canada a few years ago. Also, isn't bread bad for birds because they can't handle yeast or something?>Popcorn shrimpOne googling session later and I desperately need to try one of those now.>Finally the food courtThe best part about any grocery shopping spree, honestly. Very pleased to hear that this seems to be a global sentiment.>Quill chop sticksNow that is the ingenuity we all love about ProfD! Nice attention to detail on Decidueye physiology. I love details like that!
>>59202036>Reading about a Costco as a foreigner makes it sound greater than it probably is.That's one of the great things about the USA: we don't need to hype up things like grocery stores. None of what was written there is an exaggeration. They really do have a little bit of everything, there's always some sort of surprise in one or more of the aisles at wholesale prices, and it's almost always in obscenely large quantities.
>>59202036Most grocery stores around me usually have fresh baked Italian and French bread, Muffins, Sourdough, and Brown/Molasses Bread. The trick is that they get the dough frozen from distribution and bake it in-store as demand needs.There’s also pre-packaged bread available, like the gross Wonder white bread you’re probably thinking of as stereotypically American, but also regional specialties made by local bakeries or chains and shipped to the store. Thats how you can get things like local Bagels and Tortillas.I thought I read the issue was that bread was nutritionally empty for birds, so let say he’s mostly eating it out of inertia.Are food court style dining options attached to grocery stores common over there? I was going to say Costco is a bit of an oddity for offering it, but now that I think about it, even regular grocery stores usually have a Starbucks and a deli, and Walmarts usually have a fast food location inside them (McD or Subway typically). Either way, people everywhere are taking advantage of the fact that you buy more when you’re hungry.>>59202092I didn’t even talk about the jewelry section, florist, cigarettes, tire shop, travel agency, pharmacy, or the discounted gift cards.>Only one of the items I mentioned above is a lie, the rest are all true.
>>59202243The lie is the cigarettes
>>59202319You’re Winner!
>>59200992Love how you portray his racing mind.>Why do we need probiotics if we also need antibiotics?He knows too much, shut it down
>>59202243Spiritual sequel with a Pokémon visiting a Buc-ee’s when? We need more intercultural exchange.
The one downside to Costco is how easy it is to spend $300 to $800 in one trip without buying a single big-ticket item like a new television, a cell phone, game console, a sofa, a bed, patio furniture, a shed, etc.

>>59202243I can tell you it isn't common in Australia. Supermarkets here tend to be entirely separate from the surrounding businesses and fast food venues (if any), even if the supermarket is itself situated inside a larger shopping centre (what Americans would call a mall).
>>59202243I assumed bread couldn't be bad until I had Wonder. It's bread, how do you screw it up?
>>59204622Preservatives, large amounts of sugar, and shelf stability while being exceptionally white and fluffy for its time. These were qualities that an "ideal" bread should have and bakers spent a long time trying to invent a bread that met those criteria. That they did it with a mass produced product that could be shipped across the country was even more remarkable for its time.
>>59205700>Geez, who could get so worked up over bread?>Anyone else smell toast?>I’ve smelled something since I woke up but can’t find the source.>I’m not having a stroke am I?
>>59206980There's a lot of Pokemon whose existence is incredibly weird, but Fairies take the cake or, bread.

>>59213521>>59213369Which is worse? A Pokémon transformee dying their fur to match their old hair, or wearing a wig that looks like their old hair?
>>59216184Dying, for sure. A wig to keep a hold of your old sense of self is understandable. Dye feels more like denial.
Everyone having a good weekend?
>>59216490Counterpoint: wouldn’t dying represent “owning” your new form and dealing with it, while a wig literally covers up your new form and hides it? Either way, both are clinging onto a past that can never come back.
>>59217423A wig done in the style of your old hair would add some credence to an ID that's otherwise useless.
>>59217469How does the beauracacy deal with this? You can't just freeze turnees out of the economy, but you can't just let them claim to be whoever they want either. Might make for an interesting (if dry) adventure for sone government bean counter. Maybe at a DMV, for the added wrinkle of trying to figure out who should still be allowed to drive or not?
>>59218111Proving ID would be a huge pain. The best you could probably do is some interrogation to figure out if the Pokemon matches what other people know about the person, and then there's going to be so many that they'll only have time to do it where they actually care if Pokemon A is the same being as Human A, and their mind and skill set is valuable enough to not just fire them and replace them with someone else. A lot of very skilled specialists probably got an undeserved summary dismissal because some asshole in Human Resources didn't want to do a security check when they could pick someone else for the job instead.
>>59218122Addendum to the inevitable lawsuit point: people are legally protected from being fired for a disability. They are not so protected from failing to pass a security audit.
>>59218126>Your Honor, the reason my client failed the security audit was solely due to their disability. As you can tell from this paper trail, the company made no reasonable efforts to accommodate their disability and went out of their way to perform an off-schedule audit to remove them from their position and invent grounds for dismissal.

Got plenty of fun ideas.I wrote 90% of that story when I was between contracts, and had a crazy amount of free and fun time. My profession has me work some ridiculous hours. Still less stressful than previous jobs. Between writing and other hobbies... It's been other hobbies. I'll be writing more though, you can bet on it.
>>59241546Thanks for checking in! Keep enjoying your other hobbies while you're enjoying them, no sweat if you've got other priorities over writing right now.
>>59237503I'd like to see that. It'd be fun to see how movies accommodate the species of their stars. With something tiny like Ribombee, for example, you'd probably have to do a lot of zoomed-in shots or keep him close to the camera so you can accurately see all his gestures and emotions.

The closest thing I've seen is an AO3 tag for "characters turned into Pokemon," a handful of badly done stuff where a portion of humans turn into Pokemon with zero focus on what daily life is like, and one dead story on fanfiction.net that is filled with drama and angst in the wake of humans turning into Pokemon, and the main character is a legendary.

Discovered a new variation in regard to PIPS," explained the scholar calmly.>"Is it akin to the anterograde and retrograde forms?" inquired the reporter further, "or is it something completely new?">"It is something new even though it is connected to those two forms," said the scholar in a focused fashion. "It would be best described as experiencing PIPS symptoms a time before the actual turning occurs.">"So there is a way to predict one's turning?" the reporter continued to inquire.>"Yes and no," replied the scholar. "This form has very few documented cases as of now, and depending on its intensity, it might not be noticed in time.">"Could you explain it in more detail?" asked the reporter.>"Of course," replied the scholar while fixing his tie. "The symptoms are like those of the regular forms of PIPS, but before actually turning. They might start showing up weeks, if not months, in advance, but at the same time they can easily go unnoticed until very shortly before turning. It is mostly due to the gradual nature of the process combined with the ongoing changes in thought patterns making abnormal things seem normal."
>>59249555>"Could you explain a bit further about the difficulty in diagnosing this form?" Inquired the reporter.>"There isn't much to say..." Replied the scholar while taking a breath, trying to formulate his response in his mind. " We know of relatively few cases. Most of them were catalogued shortly before or after they turned, so we don't have much to base our research on as of now.">The interview ended with the usualexchange of pleasantries.>Good to know at least you might have a chance to catch you turning in advance.>Other news channels had not much new by comparison.>Some Iowa senator (respectable bipartisan) allegedly turned into an Inkay.>Your consumption of the 24/7 spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit was cut short by a power outage.>You were curious if it was caused by a mon or not.>But for now you just sat on your ass on the couch thinking about what to do next.>"Can we talk?" you heard a familiar voice behind you.>You turned your head around and saw Layla without a disguise.>She was clearly not in the best headspace.>"Uhh...

"I got impatient. I went to Derek's house so I could know...">"Don't tell me..." you said before being interrupted.>"No. Derek wasn't even there... Just something else...

>>59249583Damn. Layla needs some help coming to terms with, understanding, and managing her feelings as an H. Zork. Maybe she needs an emotional anchor to balance herself on.

>>59249815Well, she's not coping with opportunity cost because she can still pass for human, but she doesn't understand herself because her thoughts and feelings as a Zork are strange and alien to her and her human self doesn't enjoy the sadism her Zoroark half revels in. Honestly not sure how much this actually applies to Layla's situation.

Imagine writing a story where you get turned into a human-sized bipedal pokemon with opposable thumbs, pleasing features, and mammal anatomy. Weak as fuck.

Would it be better or worse if PIPS came and went, with moments of lucidity and awareness between the times where the Pokemon has taken over?
>>59258915More lucidity is always better.
>>59259011Is it easier or harder to see your son come back for a time before he slips away again?
What if I dislike PIPS and I don’t want to acknowledge it in my stories? Is it too ingrained in this setting now? The stuff about losing memories and having false memories feels too unbelievable and too dark to me.
>>59259304It would only matter if you wanted to explicitly write your story to be in continuity with the existing stories and reference the events of those stories. If you don't want to do that, and are happy to just write your own version of this setting where PIPS isn't a factor (or maybe you DO reference the other stories but keep things oblique enough that PIPS doesn't come up), you're more than welcome to do so.
>>59259304Yeah, if you don't like it you can just not give it to any of your characters.
>>59259304I write it as instincts rather then false memories.
>>59259304It’s a neat concept, if you want it and need a way to hand wave away why a former human now knows how to not only walk on all fours but also shoot lightning with their paws. If you don’t want it, don’t even mention it. It’s your story, we want to hear it from you. There are a couple of stories that have characters that are completely mentally unchanged and just raw dogging their new life.
/SIP/ inverted:You wake up one morning and everyone except (YOU) has turned into a Pokemon. No one thinks this is out of the ordinary and you can't convince them life has ever been different.
>>59259304Multiple stories don't have it (Snivyanon's Police Animals, for instance).Just roll with your imagination.
>>59209204I'll just respond to this taking the missing line from >>59209914 into account:Kinda sounds like the fightclub 'mons are a little bit TOO eager to get their fightclub on. Doing it out in the woods makes sense, but random alleyways? Sounds like a great way to get the entire operation busted. Buuut that isn't Phox's problem... yet...I guess nobody should be surprised that Phox isn't the type to let Delphox's crappy attack stat stop her.>Whoa, MommaWaitaminute, he's fighting Johnny Bravo?>Gotchya bitchOkay, maybe not. Funny thought, though.>Greaser looks firmly confused as I brush the leaves off my fur"A fire type resisting grass? THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE!"Huh. Earlier Phox said she couldn't make fire in the rain. I guess the lighter lets her overcome that? I mean fire type moves ARE generally capable of being used in the rain, albeit weakened. Also, furventory. Based.Haha! Get Substituted (or whatever the monkey poofing was) on, idiot! Don't get me wrong, Phox, I'm still very much on your side, but if you're gonna keep swaggering on about how adept you are at bullshit, you should expect to get bullshitted back from time-to-time. That said... fuckin' ouch...>I pull him further into meGiggityYeaaaah, first urban fightclub battle in and you're already on the news. This is why the alleyway was a terrible idea.>He lived.>I almost regret that I did.Hehe. You loved it. Hopefully there'll be officially sanctioned Pokemon battling sooner rather than later. Enjoy your meat, Phox, you earned it. Again, bad idea to fightclub in the city, but that wasn't your decision. Maybe bring it up to that Jigglypuff if you get the chance?
>>59261972The good ending, where Hal is able to freely practice his design work untransformed without fear and Harry overcomes his PIPS.
>>59262312Of all the side characters in these stories, those two are in the running for the most in need of a happy ending.

Someone high up on the political ladder would need to bring out a big swinging cockslap to make them stop screwing around trying to squeeze out even more tax money and to stop wasting time.
