Night bump
>>592270020/10 why the fuck does a random guy own an urshifo
>>59227753How vig is David's Swampert? Be interesting to compare it to Hali's.
Hali "cover" of Cara Dillon's "She's Like The Swallow", with slightly altered lyrics and the addition of dnb mixed in. This should give a rough idea of just how good her singing voice is meant to be.She's Like The Swellow: https://files.catbox.moe/hll4gn.mp3
>>59228416I don't know how to metrical length to imperial length, so I'll just say it as I think they would be.David is 1.73cm tall, and Swampert is an L size one. The reason David looks small is because I like when strong guys go chibi. If you ever saw Get Backers, you know what I mean.>https://youtu.be/Pk31LZ5Q2m0?si=SJvPOnYUPG03yEDU
>>59227940I have not played gen 8, isnt urshifu a legendary that evolves from another mon? I imagine those kinds of mon make sense that there is more than one running around, and they are just called legendary/mythical because of high BST.>>59227753cute swampert art.>>59227764>"What is- Oh God! Spatulas are not meant to be used like that!!"with the existence of rotom, and now with how rotom is used for practically every appliance in universe, I'm scared of what a rotom would do if one posseses adult toys...
>>59229260theyre called legendary because theyre fucking legendary and not every douchebag can get one
>>59229306>Not every douchebag can get oneI can assure you this has been wrong, ever since GEN 3.
>>59229306>xe thinks legendary are actually "rare"Anon...
>>59229260>isnt urshifu a legendary that evolves from another mon?Yeah, it's classed as a legendary. It evolves from Kubfu which is also classed as legendary. But like Manaphy all the lore surrounding it just implies it's just a normal pokemon.
>>59210158looks like you jynxed it>>59228838
>>59229838It will die soon enough, as long as they keep a low profile (spoiler: they won't)But if it does, maybe I should start looking into how to install a slop machine into my PC, and gen that loli character. We will know in the future.
What pets (Pokemon not for battle or retired from battling) do your OCs have?
>>59229331Frontier Leaders aren't random douchebags
>>59230585They still count. They have travelled the world, and have under their belt Pokémon that (allegedly) only ONE exists (or in the case of Manaphy: many CAN exist with the right circumstances).Having an Urshifu shouldn't be that rare. He is only rare the same way pandas are rare: they don't fuck enough to keep existing. But in this case, is because their species took a vow of solitude, so the species is locked in a secluded place.
>>59225715Was this character ever named?

Rough design for the female protag of my region. Made in CustomCast.Taking suggestions for what her name and the male protag’s name will be.

>>59230959*taking name suggestions. These should of course be thematically paired. (EG both are colors as in Kanto, Calem = calm & Serena = serene, Rosa + Nate = resonate)

>>59230960Lapis and Lazuli like the Dragon Ball Z androids
>>59225715>What is the favorite food of your OC?A pint of stout beer and Kalosian onion soup>Write in-character how your OC would explain themselves, per example their backstory, their personality, or some random anecdote.It all started when I had to take Mawile out of the machinery where a gaggle of Sableye had held up. They got intimidated and were blocking the machine at my father's work. I just so happened to be there and pulled it away from its demise before it could happen. During the run from the gaggle, I started to understand the systems that the factory was using and in the days thereafter I asked my father more about how it worked. Not so long after, I became a junior employee and slowly amassed Pokémon that could assist me in different ways.
>>59231987That's a happy Mawile
>>59229514>it just implies it's just a normal pokemonI don't remember how exactly it was, but I do know that Manaphy can breed with Dittos to make Phiones (but Phione cant evolve into manaphy), Manaphy itself doesn't technically die and then another egg spawns from the sea?>>59230960Marge(as in margin)/verge/Orbi(t) for the periphery/the border, Sol/Sun (since it is the center of our solar system)or Crux>>59231987Cute mawile>The other mouth is drinkingWasn't it confirmed that the other mouth is just a defensive measure? I don't think she can eat from that one.
Got my new N2DS XL, finished modding it :)
>>59232837>Manaphy LoreI feel is something about the waters. Sinnoh is land affected by cold climates, so even if you breed a Manaphy, you will get a Phione, probably because it has the body to endure the cold.Maybe if you raise the egg in places like Hoenn, Alola, or Kanto, you will get a Manaphy because is a hot climate.>>59232902Victory for modders!
>>59232837Margaret and Cory...yeah these work well.
>>59233445Revamped look for Tenna, the first Gym Leader (Electric-type Specialist)."She behaves like a college girl who is TOTALLY still 18. Definitely not into her thirties, no sir. Novice Trainers are sent out to battle Tenna first as a means of acclimating them to Gym challenges. Additionally, the fresh-faced kiddos relate to her, uh, 'youthful' personality quite a bit. Don't let Tenna's immaturity fool you, though. She's still got PLENTY of ways to punish the careless who believe throwing random Ground-types at her means a guaranteed Badge. Bemoans her inability to find a husband at her (real) age, but has yet to realize that there are MANY younger men who see her as the most eligible bachelorette in Omven, if not on the planet."Team:-Chinchou, Level 12, Volt Absorb, Bold, Male.

[Electroweb, Double Kick, Bite, Quick Attack]Rewards: Awe Badge, Technical Machine for Electroweb.
>>59232837Manaphy's pokedex says it will swim great distances to it's place of birth. Considering how real world animals work, this is clearly talking about breeding without saying breeding since it's a kid's game. It's other entries say it's born with the power to bond with other pokemon, which means that there's more than one and rsearchers have witnessed them being born/hatching. In other words, nothing about Manaphy's lore seems to imply it's anything more than a rare pokemon.>>59233013other way around. Phione is the warm water one. You probably need the egg to hatch on the icy cold sea floor for it to be a manaphy. That would also explain why Manaphy always returns to it's birthplace to breed. It's necessary to get a proper Manaphy, otherwise you get Phione.
>>59230709He calls himself Corin. The creator said his real name is something lame and humiliating, like Gaylord.
>>59225715I made Corin. Here's my next guy. He's the Champion of Alola, colors based on Kommo-o (his ace). His name is Jace.
>>59233502Because I have suddenly decided to make every current/future gym leader a cute girl, this is Kara (Dark-type Speciality), the Trainer slated to take over the Splitteam City Gym when Scarry inevitably retires. I wanted a character who was the more stoic, tomboy, sporty type but played completely straight. What you see is what you get. Takes the job very seriously."As with Nadia's predecessor, the Omven League's guidelines for the Splitteam City Gym have instructed her to field a Malamar as a challenger's first 'stat check', a fully-evolved Pokémon that is a struggle to overcome for the under-prepared. Malamar's BST is less than Starmie's BST, a fact that does not escape Trainers from Kanto who struggled to defeat Misty and earn the Cascade Badge. While she is being prepared to serve as Gym Leader of Omven's most sports-enthusiastic city, Nadia is significantly less of a baseball fanatic than Scarry. She does plan to keep the 'strikeout' Gym Challenge, as it's iconic. Shai won't let her change the badge insignia away from a baseball mitt, though."Team:-Pawniard, Level 18, Inner Focus, Relaxed, Male.

>>59233502Keep everything else the same but make her into a 30 year old twink going through twink death
>>59233588Revamped look for Taylor, the third Gym Leader (Bug-type Specialist)."The overworked (by her own choice) third Leader on the circuit in Ninewing City. Sacrifices too much sleep and leisure time to train, teach, and research. Her team has a reputation for hitting faster and harder than Bug-types have a right to do. Suffers from mild impostor syndrome. Elesa has spent years trying to coax Taylor out of her figurative shell (and Wormadam-like wardrobe) and into a pair of skinny jeans--it's like she's forgotten what 'fun' is. Taylor is from a declining port town in Fidera, with her own journey finishing at her home regions Elite 4. Secretly has the body of a runway model underneath her baggy, muted clothes--all legs, toned stomach, hard gaze that's the scary sort of arousing. She finds this highly embarrassing of course. Taylor embodies of 'you can just do things', given her tendency to commit to things to the bitter end."Team:-Swadloon, Level 27, Chlorophyll, Adamant, Female. [Skitter Smack, Razor Leaf, Light Screen, Screech]-Kleavor, Level 28, Technician, Jolly, Male. [Skitter Smack, Smack Down, Rock Smash, Ominous Wind]-Vivillon, Level 30, Shield Dust, Modest, Female. [Skitter Smack, Air Cutter, Psychic, Swift]Rewards: Cavalcade Badge, Technical Machine for Skitter Smack.>>59233637Oh there's gonna be a twink, alright. But no twink death for him.
>>59233655Murkyset City's deputy Gym Leader Reeshia (Water-type Speciality) is next in line to take the Gym over when Atano hangs up the mantle. Jacinthe seemed to be very well-received by the fandom at large, at least from what I've seen, so I figured I'd blatantly do the same thing and make a black girl with purple hair from the big city who was also somewhat unusual--her entire thing is swimming, diving, the whole shebang. Unlike Jacinthe, Reeshia isn't a single-minded asshole."The Murkyset City Gym has a long history of appointing Gym Leaders who excel in defensive battling, which has no doubt benefited from the natural bulkiness of many Water-types. As a former triathlete and long-distance paddleboarder, Reeshia knows well the value of endurance and carefully planning her decisive strikes. Her knowledge of sports medicine has been enhanced by her predecessor's own medical background. As a result, challengers should not expect to deal with her Gym teams in a few super-effective shots. While she isn't the same legendary mentor of Pokémon Rangers Atano is, Reeshia excels at mentoring younger Trainers in dealing with the physical and mental travails of a journey across the Omven Region."Team:-Gastrodon, Level 32, Inner Focus, Sassy, Female.

>>59232837It can't taste with it :^)
>>59233559I like the outfit. Very kickass.
Bump
>>59233445>>59233502>>59233588>>59233655>>59233764This region is starting to look more fun each time.
>>59235912I feel like the aesthetic could be pushed further into a concept. These feel kind of flat, like regular NPC's.
>>59233445Glad my names were good enough>>59233525I guess that makes sense, The only real mythical part about it is Manaphy being a "sea guardian" and it being rare.>>59234512....oh godnow I'm actually surprised I didn't see Mawile being used for random vore art if she can actually eat through that.
>>59237658>I didn't see Mawile being used for random vore artI mean, I feel you can find that on the internet.But at the same time, the Shawn/Voreloli crowd are annoying as fuck, so let's keep the lid on for now.
Peaceful weekend
Up
>>59233559Update for Jace. I think it makes him look a little more like a Pokémon monk who meditates in caves and under waterfalls.
>>59239324Loviing the redesign. Reminds me when we had a "what would your OC look like in another genre?" task.
>>59225715>picWow, it literally looks like a random character from any other post-2020 anime that isn't Pokemon, Congratulations if that was your goal
The pebble is here
Good morning, /tog/. I hope your week starts lightly and joyful.
These days I had exams or big homeworks, so I couldnt do much, im going to bump with this screenshot I made a while ago that I quite like.
>>59225715Updated since I got insecure.
>>59241968Who's the Mega? Because I can see 3 picks, but I feel it depends on the situation.M-Metagross is just POWER. Is good to delete everything in a moment's instant.M-Aggron is a WALL. Is great to protect and recover, especially if your enemy is just a Physical attacker.M-Scizzor is great for Hit-n-Run tactics. Need to balance the scales? Scizzor. Need a quick punch to humble? Scizzor. Need an unexpected surprise? Scizzor.Interesting team rework.
>>59242036Hmmmm, I think for the mega choice for OC reasons, it would be Aggron, because he's an inventor who wants things to last.
>>59239324What is Jace's team? Kommo-o is his ace, I've gathered. And he clearly uses Z-moves.
Saw this thread and thought I'd try my hand at an OC. Not completely decided on the team yet. It's got a general halloween theme. Registeel is meant to be a sort of frankenstein stand-in. Might swap him for Banette though.
>>59243436She's both a neat and a Pokemon trainer? She has a fully evolved team and a fucking legendary. This bitch isn't sitting around doing nothing.
>>59243436I want to take a whiff of her hair, but knowing she has a Muk, I may not come out alive.
Ah, the classic "resting bitch face character who just so happens to have a legendary"
I'm seeing a slight rise in fetishistic/sexuality-oriented characters this past week.
>>59243566Well, is spring-to-summer, so I guess people are a bit more... "playful" than usual.
>>59243566All of my Pokémon OCs are of my fetishes. Some are more obvious than others. ;3
>>59243506nepobaby
Where are all the Battle Frontier OCs?!
>>59243566I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt mostly because the guy can draw, but>>59243436I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't at least a bit concerned by the fact that this guy felt the need to mention that his OC's pussy is unshaved, combined with the fact that she is described as "desperately needing a good dicking" and sweating very easily (you know how people are with sweat... for some fucking reason). Not to mention the bit about the sagging tits and the cliche of the oversized sweater that makes it look like she's not wearing pants. Put her on Ozempic.
>>59243566how DARE you imply that my sweaty thick gamer girl with heavy pubic hair could possibly be motivated in part by sexual interests. I am deeply offended by your insinuation.
>>59243725Ozempic puts holes in your bones. True story.
>>59243734Only if you're not diabetic.
>>59243737... You mean only if you are diabetic?
>>59243566As much as my fetishes are more aimed at height/bodytype differences, it does mean that I find more fetishistic artists in the area.
>>59244523Also, do not put the cookies in a place where a sweettooth can get them, they wíll be gone the moment you turn around
>>59244523>>59244528I feel the moment ONE cookie touches the tongue, the mouth will close harder than a bear trap.
>>59244984If you want to keep your hands, you should likely stay clear of mouth n.2, tho you can either put it on her tongue or just hand it to her.
>>59244286*Sending Charizard hugs*
>>59235956>>59235912yeah these are just rough drafts for concepts, general looks, etc

I dont know why this became a meme format, but hey, I saw the tyrantrum and it worked out for this one.

It’s been a minute what I miss?
>>59249824Nothing like screaming with your pals to hype up.
>>59249824A new anon has come and is working on his own region as you can see here in >>59233655 it's a region based on chicago, aside from that, I got bit by a mosquito, and I was not able to move for a week, and still trying to make the model for davidanon>picrelThe girl is one with the nature.How is the comic going on your end? Any new developments, or anything interesting happening IRL? Yesterday I was surprised to see the Nintendo direct AND HOW NINTENDO HAS THE FUCKING BALLS TO REMAKE STAR FUCK 64 FOR A 4TH TIMEJESUS CHRIST I UNDERSTAND IF THIS IS A SAFE BET BUT HOLY SHIT THIS IS A FRANCHISE THAT ONLY HAS ONE FUCKING GAME AT THIS POINT. I don't even dislike the new designs compared to how people seem to be dogpiling them on the internet, but I swear at the very least make something else instead of remaking the original game for a fourth fucking time.
>>59250464>HOW NINTENDO HAS THE FUCKING BALLS TO REMAKE STAR FUCK 64 FOR A 4TH TIMENintendo at this point should just release a Star Fox collection at this point.Remake 1, 2, update 64 and Adventures, and just make Assault playable.Boom, all the Star Fox you want is in one game.>What about the one in the Wii U?That sucks balls.I really, really, REALLY doubt they will ever release a new game. And personally, I'm fine with that. Let Fox be a happy memory in my heart, instead of another mascot being forced to be cool and hip, just to have a very shitty game.
>>59250695>instead of another mascot being forced to be cool and hipWho's going to tell him?
>>59250764I know about the movie, but I don't care. Smash Bros was as close as we have to a "Star Fox" game, and the movie was a cameo.I doubt Nintendo will suddenly go "hey Fox, let us put this shit on to make you cool and popular to the kiddies!".Most kids weren't even alive when Fox had games!
>>59249824Not much, just our classic chill thread, saluting newfriends and helping old ones.What's up with you?
Hali is from Hoenn, her home is Lilycove.Midori is from Unova, her hometown being Nacrene City.Cain is from Johto, born and raised in Mahogany Town.Sorry I haven't been too active, gearing up for project work again and toying with character designs.
>>59251782I wonder how fate made them cross paths.
my god awful attempt at imitating gen 1-2 sprite art, featuring my oc, also my first attempt at pixel art
>>59252435Oh, neato! A bit small, but GB sprites are really small. Good job.
>>59252435I like it, the no eyeball lends itself really well to the look in GB to make it unique. what tools you used to make it? good old paint, or did you use something special?
>>59252239Midori and Hali have known eachother for a few years, having met in Hoenn after Midori was attracted to Hali's concert (those Lilycove Stadium Corndogs smell amazing!)Cain met the two when he travelled to Hoenn in hopes of finding leads as to what exactly went down in Kanto Labs, though I haven't figured out as to WHY he met them yet.
>>59252471gameboy pokemon battle sprites tend to be 56x56 pixels, i decided to go along with the limitations>>59253142mspaint (evil windows 11 edition)
>>59253355Considering the biy stumbled into an idol and a girl who is into smells and slime, it probably was a sticky situation. And not one of the good ones.Maybe a mid one.
>>59253490>mspaint (evil windows 11 edition)Im more surprised that you managed to do a well done sprite in mspaint, I mean mspaint its not that bad, but Im used to paintdotnet for a while and its so nice when I want to do "simple" stuff.>>59251048>Most kids weren't even alive when Fox had games!Which I think its the main reason they are trying with Starfox 64 FUCKING AGAIN, star fox has not been relevant outside smash for more than 8 years, they probably dont even know if the market wants another on rail shooter. I just hope they actually add new stuff to this remake, or we have a moment like DK Bananza and how K rool took the stage in the last hour or 2 of Banaza.
Something no one asked for
>>59255023Midori would LOVE to have a Mega Reuniclus like that.
>>59255023I feel I defeated something like this in Megaman Zero.
>>59255129that's because you did
>>59255161It was a fun fight. Both in 1 and 2.
>>59255023So that would be from 110-65-75-125-85-30, moving some of the speed into the defenses and then giving him actual physical damage to make him a mix attacker with bulk, and with Huge power as its ability you are making it a physical attacker mostly.The speed implies that it really wants to be in a trick room team.Actually Im kind of surprised of the physical attacks reuniclus can learn as TMs, focus punch, the elemental punchs, gyro ball, knock off, is that why you made the mega physical? Also, Is it still just pure psychic or did you consider he gets a change in typing too?
>>59255997I find funny that a (supposedly) psychic type was made not to throw books, but throw hands. Is funny.
>>59255997The jello fetus' dex entries talk about its physical boulder crushing capability and ran with that. It basically turned into "Mega Starmie but fat". It is absolutely a monster in TR, but a sitting duck otherwise, relying on it obscene bulk just to hammer away. Same attack and ability as Mega Mawile, but worse defensive typing, worse STAB, and no priority.
>>59256308Sword dex:>While it could use its psychic abilities in battle, this Pokémon prefers to swing its powerful arms around to beat opponents into submission. It does make me wonder why they gave it a pretty low atk stat since the dex entries kind of implies he could be a mixed attacker.>>59256356>The jello fetus' dex entries talk about its physical boulder crushing capability and ran with that.Yeah, it is still a good idea all things considered.>Same attack and ability as Mega Mawile, but worse defensive typing, worse STAB, and no priority.You can't beat fairy/steel typing, I still like the design and the idea, it looks squishy.
>>59256829>It does make me wonder why they gave it a pretty low atk statWell, GF sucks between lore and gameplay. Just look at Vikavolt.But if I were to give a reason, maybe is because he is slime? That could be a reason.
My trainer Has all 3 Kanto startersCharmander >First partner Found as an egg after parents were chased by pokemon hunters Squirtle >Befriended during Squirtle line migration and chose to come with us Bulbasaur >Abandoned by trainer after terrible gym loss, befriended and beat that gym with him

>>59258971Very few. Just Alex, David, and Grym, seems like.
>>59258471K-K-K-K-KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>59259500We had Luke and Koa visit. Shame they didn't stayed.Oh, and don't forget Coloris dude. He comes and goes.
>>59259570Luke asked for his work to be pulled, so I assume he's leaving. Grym IS coloris guy.
>>59258971>>59259500It really depends how you define "OG", Tweny was here for a while but now Alex is the only one left from January 2024, Grym is from February, and David and Gene are from March.
I'm still about, just using Hali, Midori and Cain now
I tried to think about more mons that could fit the backrooms, but besides porygon (because glitch in the world/system/game) and some of the dimension hopping ones like the Cosmog evo line and Hoopa (who is not in the program), nothing else comes to mind.
>>59260470What about Ultra Beasts? They literally are from another universe.
>>59260951I forgot about them, or more specifically, I doubted they were available, now that I checked, the only mons available from the ultra beasts are xurkitree, nihilego, blacephalon and Celesteela. So just 4 of the 11 mons are in the program.
>>59261766Two or three should be enough for an image.But if you want all, I guess you will have to wait or rip them yourself.
>>59259500>>59259580Seems like the threads have a lot of turnover. Kind of fun, honestly.
>>59262801Well, this thread is mostly chill (compared to other generals), so is normal people come and go as they see fit.Is relaxing to know you don't need to be stuck 24/7 to the screen or miss out all the fun.
Returning to project stuff tomorrow, but I'll still have renders and character stuff lined up for here.trailer hit 1k nice
>>59264100Shalom
Goodnight all.>>59264111Trips of truth
>>59225715Dark type edition?This is Jamie, though she mostly just goes by Jam.A resident Dark type specialist and coordinator. Jam is, for lack of any better description, a complete scary cat. Bugs, ghosts, thunder, lightning, public speaking, confrontation, you name it. When she was young, her childhood partner, a Nickit named Nikki, often got her into a load of trouble.Currently, she is struggling to raise a Deino. It’s not going well, to say the least. The only reason she managed to catch it in the first place is because when she disturbed it and it charged at her, Jam panicked and threw her bag to distract it, and a stray Nest Ball pelted it in the face.

>>59264304
I've been in here since the "First" type of trainer thread. The ones with ming-ming i've just been silently looking and watching sometimes until more drama comes up and watch
>>59264408Unless you can time travel to a one year and one month ago, this thread has been pretty chill.
Good morning, /tog/.I hope you guys are having a great week.
>>59264313I never like Hidden Powers on trainer teams. Otherwise, I dig the setup.
>>59265182Hell yeah, I am.
I like seeing "OC teams" because of the contrast.Competitive teams are completely bloated with Gen9 mons. Iron Valiant, Tusk, Hands, Flutter, Koraidon/Miraidon, Gholdengo and stuff. And yet, even though they're constantly used, their appeals never seem to trickle down to teams that people actually dream of having outside of the competitive space.I really do think the quality of 'mon designs has declined a lot in the past few gens. Regional forms were cute, but the tidal wave of "It's just a pokemon from before, but made of metal" is... kind of lame. Its lameness is proven by how nobody wants to touch these 'mons with a 10 foot pole outside of how broken they are in battle.Anyways, just pondering. /blog
>>59265272I like when OC teams are more focused into telling the OC's story rather than see a guy with a full evo comp team.Like, yeah, I get it: meta rules. But only because you aren't "the main hero" it doesn't mean you must have leads to become important.Sometimes, one silly mon, shitter or not, is enough to tell you about the guy/gal.Like >>59264166: A naughty Nickit that plays with a shy dark trainer. Is cute.As for the Deino, it can turn into her evolving beyond her shell. Is a good idea.
>>59265539>I like when OC teams are more focused into telling the OC's story rather than see a guy with a full evo comp team.Hell yeah. I guess, on that front, I'm just saying so many of the new gen pokemon don't evoke that "Story" kind of feel. The fuck is the personality of someone who has an Iron Hands on their team? "I like winning" I guess.Love to see all the unique teams in these threads. I think the general avoidance of new-gen mons vaguely indicates they lack a certain staying power in peoples' hearts.
Cain's team.Depending on the path he takes, Charcadet will either become Armarouge or Ceruledge.
>>59265803... you know, I have no idea why but I always imagined Charcadet + its evolutions as Legendaries.I was going to bring up obligatory muh no legendaries rule. Hey though, turns out you're good.Love the team. Kaijumons are always based.
>>59265842Yeah, it does seem like Charcadet was intended as a babby-legend.Cain's team is primarily built around how a 12 year old would ideally build a stack of six tough monstery-mons. A Giant Gator, Rocky Godzilla, Baragon incarnate, A kick-ass shadowy Lynx and a goddamn AXE DRAGON. Cain's team is meant to represent "the coolest kid's team" without going full meta or introducing legends to the mix.And I think we can all appreciate a bunch of "tough guy" mons at the end of the day.
>>59265856>Cain's team is primarily built around how a 12 year old would ideally build a stack of six tough monstery-mons.

>tfw I'll never figure out the full teamit's ogre
>>59225715An idea I've been experimenting with is something I call "Affinity", where trainers who have a connection to a particular Type begin to take on some of its traits. It's pretty well known that certain Psychic type trainers have minor telekinetic powers and that certain Fighting type trainers can spar with Pokemon that posess superhuman strength even though neither of those things should be physically possible (seriously, do you think a non-enhanced human would be able to trade blows with a Machamp). I don't really feel like making one for every Type right now, but I wanted to get out the idea that I had for Steel, which is basically just... kind of being a Steel type. He gets proficiency with basically anything made out of metal, usually blades and firearms but I could also extend it to regular items like cooking utensils, and he also gets some kind of "resistance" to them as well (basically being able to get shot and stabbed more than the average person) in addition to being able to handle heavier metal objects (and recoil) easier despite not being muscular. Maybe this also correlates with elevated levels of minerals in his body. This isn't really like the Aura Guardians who are born with it, it's a bit weaker because it has to be developed over time. It's not established canon, but it's reasonably extrapolated from the two examples I gave, so I think it's believable enough. Admittedly, it's also kind of a bit superfluous lore because there's not going to be any actual gunplay or other combat in the writing that I have planned so far. Pictured here are two reproductions of firearms, he got the design for the left from Steven Stone and he got the design for the right from Drayden. I'm not a huge fan of asymmetry so maybe he has a two piece set of each rather than only having one. I have designs for custom firearms for him as well but I feel doing Pokemon designs might make the idea of firearms a bit more acceptable to readers.
>>59266160Duraludon dual pistol design. I would probably want to put a suppressor on this as well.
>>59266175>The ugliest pokemon becomes a cool weapon.Makes sense.
>>59266175Inteleon pistol, probably needs a suppressor as well.
>>59266160Honestly, I always just assumed X type trainers were drawn to that type because of their interests.Interesting spin on the idea.
>>59266256
>>59266271>A gun with an Eevee finishDoes this means is customizable? Or is it for Normal guys?
>>59266160reddit meme
>>59265539The components are appreciated. Have the picrew I used when I initially designed her.
>>59266717Adorable girl
>>59266160>"Affinity", where trainers who have a connection to a particular Type begin to take on some of its traits.Isn't that already kind of canon with how trainer classes are in the games, like hex maniacs, fossil people being ground types, etc? Though you are saying that they will become more "their attuned type", so I can see the difference. like now water trainers could probably breathe underwater or plant type trainers being able to control vines or something similar with the flora of the world.>>59265539I have done shots with the full evo team, but I do have to admit that they kind of feel off, At least crobat and lucario make sense that they are evolved because being friendship evos they "evolve quickly". I still have no idea if I want charcadet/ceruledge and Larvesta/volcarona in his team, but I really like these pokemon.>>59266256>>59266271I wonder where you got these gun designs, They look nice.>>59266717Looks bullyable, Which other Pokemon you plan to give to her? scrafty or more dark types?
>>59267518Sir!!! SIR!!! THAT IS EIGHT POKEMONS SIR!!!That is two more than the number of Pokemons you are allowed to have sir!!!!!!
>>59268154He must be in his hometown. Remember: professors keep the trainers' extra pokémon in a ranch.
>>59268621>He must be in his hometown. Remember: professors keep the trainers' extra pokémon in a ranch."No, kid, you don't understand. I get to battle with 8 Pokemon, because I'm superior."Based gigachad professor laying down the law.
>>59268748Well, he always mantain one Pokémon that isn't picked. A team was going to surface sooner or later.
>>59263103>Is relaxing to know you don't need to be stuck 24/7 to the screen or miss out all the fun.Very true.
>>59268154Its 8 because someone I know recently modded in a bunch of extra mons in the program I use, so I kinda wanted to add some mons to the team regardless of the specific team size.>>59268621It would be more his parents, as he is more doing a self discovery journey.>>59268748If I do want to move with the canonical 8 team, I will just say that since he rarely does official/gym matches, the 8 team limit is not enforced, or at least he doesn't see a reason to stick with it, or maybe say that the Eevee doesn't count as it is his childhood pet, and larvesta basically just hatched and is still a lv5.
>>59269685>The 8 team limit is not enforcedAccording to the anime, it is. The ball is automatically teleported, but the household pets argument can work, since technically they aren't "caught" pokémon.
>>59268154six pokemon is too few anyway. We need to bump the team to 7 or 8. Your average RPG has like 8 or 9 characters and they field 4 at once instead of just one or two.
>>59270582Cute
>>59270582>six pokemon is too few anyway. We need to bump the team to 7 or 8. Your average RPG has like 8 or 9 characters and they field 4 at once instead of just one or two.Could always have a Box.
>>59265572Hai, it's me (it'll be too obvious if I post an image). Crawled from the darkest pits of hell to come here and say that, in this short:https://youtu.be/LvlwKAv15XU?feature=sharedPart of it is about continuously winning, sure, it's a small part of it, but it's there. So I think it's possible to come up with a compelling story for a trainer with a Iron Hands (part of the story would *have* to be how they even got such Pokémon in the first place), tho that won't be me.I guess part of the problem would also be how to give robot Pokémon personalities, or actually expressiveness? Anyways.Also, there's another PokéToon short about the fire MegaMan and the blue fire MegaMan, which are newer mons, it doesn't exactly counter the argument that newer mons have less staying power, but I wanted to mention it.>>59264166>Easily scaredI know someone who would have a field day with her.
>>59271268Turns out I could have posted an image without giving myself away, this one, that shows Iron Moth being a happy moth.
>>59271271Oh yeah, context...The moonrunes are showing how petting each of the variants is fluffy, but then Iron Moth is completely smooth, having no fur, it starts to feel dejected, but then the human pets it anyways, and then it becomes quite happy.
>>59271268>>59271271I think part of it's also, no doubt, the derivative/uninspired design of the Iron mons (and Flutter-adjacent set too)Finding a trainer that both has an evocative story with Iron Moth that simultaneously also couldn't have that story, but better, with Volcarona is not easy.
>>59271298That's indeed an excellent point.Without thinking much about it, the first thing that comes to mind would be a super nerd fan of robots, but even such person would probably end up with a Golurk or some Steel Type before ever getting to meet a paradox.
>>59271451>Without thinking much about it, the first thing that comes to mind would be a super nerd fan of robots, but even such person would probably end up with a Golurk or some Steel Type before ever getting to meet a paradox.Really though. Fan of robots? Klingklang, Rotom. The roster already has plenty to satisfy that, and explaining how they met a Paradox mon simply won't ever be easy.I guess, from my perspective, in a vacuum outside of the "Playing the game" vacuum it's cool to see which 'Mons trickle up to the top.The list of "Pokemon I want on my battle team" appears to be VERY different from "Pokemon I would want to be best buds with if I had the chance." It's just cool seeing how that difference plays out, in these threads.
>>59271490Exactly.That's probably also true. This is a little bit of a tangent, but I remember being very disappointed when I saw that every team in the top 8 of the World Championship 2015 (except maybe 1) had a Landorus and a Tapu Koko... In the very next year of Se Jun Park's victory with a Pachirisu in his team. Anyways, I like this franchise because of the sense of wonder and adventure, and the bonds between trainer and Pokémon, so it makes me happy that most OCs aren't concerned with BSTs and whatnot.
>>59271803>so it makes me happy that most OCs aren't concerned with BSTs and whatnot.100%. Even then, it's fun to see when an OC does end up caring about that stuff because it's part of their character to be a tryhard championship-focused trainer.
>>59266271
>>59272007
>>59272011Kino ngl.
>>59272007Is this a shotgun or a musket? Because if it's a musket, that would explain Slow Start.
>>59272383It's supposed to be a coach gun, which is why it has two triggers, one for each barrel. Silliconda doesn't get Slow Start, though.
>>59272011
>>59273005
I'd like to see a shotgun (possibly an AA12) based on Swampert/Mega Swampert please. The idea of Hali wielding such a shotgun is a funny one too.
>>59273023That one will probably take longer to do since the design isn't actually made yet and I have difficulty visualizing Pokemon accessories for Pokemon that I don't care about.
>>59273003Oh, I thought it was Regigigas. My bad.
>>59270391>According to the anime, it is.Was it ever acknowledged after the first season? I know it was used to justify Ash quickly capturing the 50 tauros, and I think in one scene they presented it with another trainer, but I don't remember any other scenes where the ball just disappears because of the 6 team clause, I just feel forcing the 6 team clause in any other context besides a Pokémon fight to be weird.
>>59225767>>59226914why are anti ai faggots so obsessed? this generated image is high quality and thus isn't slop.
>>59274208
>>59274208>this generated image is high quality and thus isn't slop.Quality implies craftsmanship.
>>59274208Im not anti or pro AI, the only time I do hate AI is if people are trying to profit off of it, I consider those Patreons where they sell AI genned art stupid. If you are using it to try to give form to ideas in your head, and it isn't the stopping point but more of a ladder to get your creativity across and later down the line you get to make your own art or commission, I think it's fine.
Today I will once again remind them.
>>59274227Quality only implies a good product/result, craftsmanship is not too relevant.>>59274208If you want a good idea of how stupid and obsessed anti AI people are just take a look at this compilation of people hating a real Claude Monet painting just because they were told it was made by AI.
>>59274392
>>59274395>people hating a real Claude Monet painting just because they were told it was made by AIIf AI could make something like that, I'd be impressed. When AI does something, you can only "feel" something doesn't work.Besides, even if it was AI, how can you tell? Is only a digital image. Pixels on a screen. We can't be 100% if an artistic image is AI or not. In fact, I think a man did a masterpiece once by drawing it in Paint. Is all about the tools.
I saw that meme of the one person looking melancholic and the other person ruining the vibe and I got into the mood of trying to recreate it with Gene and his mons, then be disappointed once I realized only like, 2 out of 8 of his mons have actual mouths. Still I did the shot with what I had, Mimikyu is there to not be left out.
>>59274392My guy over here trying to pretend like Sonichu is anything other than perfect, ideal archetypal embodiment of the metaphysic of astral autism.Fuck up outta here with that low IQ shit.
>>59274392>"Soul" But actually:>Money laundering >Corporate brands>This one has soul, yes. Quality of the soul is another matter>There's some soul there as well, just not enough talent to have it as your job >Funny>Money laundering >Hollywood slop>Even fetish shit has some soul, again, the quality of the soul is another matter >Vide aboveI rate that image 4/9, not bad I suppose. Just remember that "Soul" =/= "Talent", something can have soul and still look awful, while something prompted into existence using AI can look all levels of beautiful, but will still lack soul.If you use Gyo to look at AI art, you'll 100% of the time not see any aura>>59274472Invert the roles and have Gene as the one ruining the vibe.
>>59250464>A new anon has come and is working on his own region as you can see here in >>Nice, a new bug specialist and I haven’t been Chicago so this will give me some ideas on what it might be like^v^)Also, I’m a bit late to the Star fox discourse but as an outsider looking in it doesn’t look that bad except for Falco. The villains got a huge glow up, Wolf and his friends look extra threatening.>>59251518Not much, life be lifing per usual
>>59274472I love how everyone is looking up, and Mimikyu is like "the doll always look up, but I don't want to be left out."
>>59259181Why is it so cute
>>59274632this image just reminded me that Buneary is one of the very few mons that has friendship 0 the moment you capture it. evil bnnuy that bites you because you dared to exist in her general vicinity.>bit late to the Star fox discourse but as an outsider looking in it doesn’t look that bad except for Falco.Yeah, after the initial reaction, the designs marinated on the community and overall, I think people are ok with the more Star Wars looking designs, compared to before that they looked more anime. Not everyone agrees but I do like how they look like actual animals without going too realistic.Kat looks like she went into the deep end and looks like she is a rehabilitating drug addict though, but she appears in like 1 or 2 missions so It's whatever.
>>59274928The Bunny hates all and all love the BunnyWell that is good to hear, the Star Fox community has been a long drought so they needed some crumbs. The only other complaints Ive seen for the game is that it was a carbon copy of the 64 version which I’m inclined to believe there maybe a bit more to it but this is Nintendo so…50/50
>>59275057>Love Ball or Heal Ball?Truly the hardest choice
>>59275339Well, which one would you pick
>>59275384Personally, I go with Luxury Balls and the bell so I can get a Lopunny fast.>Don't you get Luxury Balls in Gym 8?Yeah, I just gen a few in.
Post lore
>>59275497I recently learned that Comfey solos Mega-Rayquaza.It's not lore, but it's pretty cool imo.
I was considering buffing the boobs, hips and butt of Hali and Midori.But to be honest, I think they're perfect just the way they are.
>>59275744>they're perfect just the way they are.And that's a good thing.
>>59275744Nigga don't you already have a pair of twin bunnysuit girls that basically show their bare asses? Your game has enough coomer bait already.
>>59275850Yeah but Hali and Midori aren't part of that. They're PURELY Pokémon OCsAnd errm actually it's only one ass cheek per bunn girl ermmm :B lol
>>59275850>Your game has enough coomer bait already.Considering the engine, that was an easy step. I find funny the creators of KK made a lewd engine, yet you have people doing crazy shit that would give MMD a run for their money.In fact, I think they also had a land builder game where a dude survived with a girl, and people literally box the girl so she doesn't follow the player while they are playing Minecraft.How can you make a porn engine, and then people go, take it, and make SFW stuff for fun?
>>59275960I'll actually be making the move to 2D at some point, so a LOT of designs will be tweaked and toned down. The idea is for it to be a 2D fighter like Persona 4 Arena and Blazblue.Koikatsu has always been intended as a temporary footstep in order to realise my designs
>>59275497Im trying to think how Gene could have come across Charcadet and Larvesta.I said that maybe he found it as an egg, but I wonder how else could I flavor it. The only natural one that appears in Unova is in Relic castle in the desert, right? It doesn't appear in any other spot besides eggs.Charcadet has kind of the opposite problem, Charcadet is very common, so I don't know in what way I would narrow down his encounter with Charcadet.
>>59275497Lore
>>59275960>I think they also had a land builder game where a dude survived with a girl, and people literally box the girl so she doesn't follow the player while they are playing Minecraft.Yeah that was another game by the developers of Koikatsu, they kinda filed for bankruptcy and closed, but after a few months we found out they rebranded (from Illusion to Ill games). People assume they just wanted to get rid of some "problematic" games they did in the past, but still. The community would have moved to these newer games, but they use a new compiling method that doesn't allow the heavy modifications of the older games. So the community is kind of stuck in the old games until the modding tools become better, or the modders basically punch the wall hard enough to get a breakthrough.
>>59274392>>59274397anon, can you tell me where 99% of ai image generation resources go?
Ugh, shut up with the AI whinging already.
>>59278795The eraser points upward unless you're correcting a mistake.
You've been whinging about this for a day now and the conversation has gone nowhere.AI is here to stay, like it or now. If you don't like other people posting it, ypu ate more than welcome to post art you've drawn or made yourself 2D or 3D.We'll be waiting.
>>59278891What the fuck is this pretentious nonsense supposed to mean? You should honestly kill yourself for making this sad excuse for a retort.
>>59278936Maybe you should ask Grok what it means.
Right, don't bother engaging with it anymore. It's clearly only here to try and start arguments, ignore it.
>no lore>no art skill>bucks the task off to a machine because they can't think for themselves >somehow thinks xer uber cool OCs are worth a damn
>>59278371 (me)Ok, after thinking for a while, I think I know how is going to be the encounter of Larvesta.>While Gene was travelling, he was going to Relic Castle because it was a tourist spot, going around with a small crowd seeing the past of Unova, then while they were travelling down there, An earthquake happened, forcing Gene to be separated with the rest of the crowd.>He got a few bruises, but so far he was ok. Trying to find a way back to the tourist guide, he went through some caves. and while he was walking around, he saw pieces of broken eggs, as he got closer, he saw a nest with all the eggs broken because of the earthquake, except one.>Gene, Not sure about what to do, was going to leave the egg until he saw a dead Volcarona close by thanks to the earthquake again, and recognized the colors of the egg to be similar of Volcarona.>Realizing that was probably their parent, he decided to take the egg with him and try to raise it so the Larvesta could have a chance to live.

It's okay that we have no talent because there has always been people without talent! You know what else you had? People with talent. Which side do you think mattered more? What do you believe people with talent think now when they see slop worshippers being defensive and hostile toward the very idea of posts made with effort? You're insecure because you should have been gatekept over a year ago and last thread you had no fewer than three people demand that you stop parading their work around to cover up the truth that you don't have anything worthy of posting. You hurled insults at them and antagonized them, and you still haven't respected a real artist's takedown request. His folder is still there even after he said he didn't want his work associated with (you). He didn't cite the shutdown, he didn't blame your gangstalker.

Everyone else who feels the thread isn't good anymore is content to just go elsewhere and peacefully leave us be. Not sure why you can't, or why deserve to be entertained at all.
Lmao. Awkward time?Anyways. I'm making a custom region for a Pokemon TTRPG. Reminded me of these threads. I poked in and did some sprites a while back.Was thinking of floating around here again, for ideas. Hopefully things aren't as apocalyptic as those recent posts imply. Might be up to do a few more battler sprites too, maybe.
>>59281034>Awkward time?Nope, just regular /tog/.>Floating around for ideasSure thing, man. Lay it on us, what's the campaign about? We can help.
After finding this map I got motivated to do more stuff (still got kind of lazy when I got to Serperior because it's always annoying to pose him)besides that, Im just going to reaffirm my position, if people are interested in these threads, I will keep making them, no need to be defensive or be against them>>59281034>Lmao. Awkward time?It comes and goes, depends on the mood or how the troll feels at that moment.I am interested in your sprite, what is exactly that Pokémon? Some mutated version of another mon? a fakemon? Or an entirely different thing like Ultrabeasts? The lines remind me of the FNAF puppet and the cloak makes me think it's like a different evolution of shuppet, since its eyes have a similar tone of green.>>59281034
>>59281065>Sure thing, man. Lay it on us, what's the campaign about?Genuinely? No damn clue. The idea was pitched for me to run something like this pretty recently, and I fortunately still have a while before anything starts.Obviously, I need some Pokemon. Already working out the Starters and Legendaries mostly, other ideas would be great.I have a vague sense of something to do with the "spiritual" side of things that Gen 1 (and vaguely Gen 2) had. Things hinted at in Lavender Town's Tower, that were later dropped (no doubt for child-friendly appeal.) No idea though, if you have an awesome idea I'm all game.>>59281069>I am interested in your sprite, what is exactly that Pokémon?The region's Pseudo-Legendary. Reaper-themed. I'm thinking of using it as the villain/rival's ace or something along those lines. Wanted something edgy for the role.
>>59281069Looks amazing honestly.
Its earlier evos, too, since you asked.
>>59281082>Hopelessness>Ice/PoisonYou could make it about an expedition in frozen lands! It would be a nice place to add some extint Hisuan Pokémon. Also, if he appears at the end, you can make it about finding something evil in the frozen tundra.Like "The Thing", except less body horror and twice the flamethrowers (Fire types).
>>59281101>Like "The Thing"That sparked a lot of ideas. I had a vague image of the dual "Main Legendaries" as Ghost-types, and perhaps the adventure starts with the players accidentally unearthing/releasing the ancient evils?A colder, more harsh Region might be pretty kino too.
>>59281098Cute
>>59281034This place isn't apocalyptic, it's post-apocalyptic. But our settlement is mostly comfortable.>>59281125That's basically what it is, yeah. Nobody who's actually affiliated with the thread hates AI. We have no reason to treat the haters as significant in any way, or even as more than a single individual.
>>59281169>This place isn't apocalyptic, it's post-apocalyptic. But our settlement is mostly comfortable.A wasteland-style / harsh environment region might honestly be an interesting route. Could pose a lot of non-Battle challenges that comfy zones wouldn't.
>>59281236Isn’t that literally just the Orre region?
>>59281293>Isn’t that literally just the Orre region?Orre, but cool. (Temperature wise.)Could be inspiration.
>>59281300So like, a nuclear winter that you wished for because of patrolling the Mojave?
>>59281293If Orre is Fallout, then a cold region can exist as well.What was this game called? Frostzone? It was about dudes trying to survive in the cold while raiding the last remaining places on Earth. Also, Whiteout Survival totally rip them off.
>>59281337>So like, a nuclear winter that you wished for because of patrolling the Mojave?Gen 3, but with Hail and Sand instead of Sun and Rain? I do love me some derivative pulp trash!
>>59281337I feel larger claws would be better. When I see Pokémon using tools, it makes me feel like a bit out of the setting.I know, is weird (considering gen 8 with the starters and legendaries), but that's what I feel.
>>59281169>everyone I don't like is one person>only one person in the entire world thinks ai garbage is bad
>>59281107From what you are imagining, I can see the group of players being a expedition in the Antartic equivalent, and they accidentally come across the evil team waking up the 2 legendaries, shenanigans happens, they either capture or the legendaries escape, and the group has to deal with them in some way.The one thing Im not sure is what could be the theme of the region, SV was past and future, Sword and shield is that, Sun and moon is that, X and Y were Life and death, Black and white was truth and ideals, etc.Maybe you can make an argument on them being memories? Or how you honor the death if you are keeping the ghost typing on both of them?
>>59282023>The one thing Im not sure is what could be the theme of the region, SV was past and future, Sword and shield is that, Sun and moon is that, X and Y were Life and death, Black and white was truth and ideals, etc.>Maybe you can make an argument on them being memories? Or how you honor the death if you are keeping the ghost typing on both of them?Yeah, a theme like "Memory" or "Honor" or something could work. Maybe the two Legendaries that get unleashed aren't "evils" per se, but just locked in an unresolvable battle. Ghost-avatars of lost civilizations or something.
>>59282039It could be something like "Progress" vs "Respect".You can have a "man-made" legendary that is like the guardian of the expedition group, and on the other side you have the horrific ghosts fighting the intruders of their dwelling.Basically the protector is malfunctioning, so anything alive = threat, and our team must either run or counter it, while ghosts and curses are attacking them left and right.If they solve the puzzle, the ghost stop attacking. They may be even recruited for defense.But if they fail..... let's just say snow isn't the only thing white in the frozen tundra.
>>59282059>You can have a "man-made" legendary that is like the guardian of the expedition group, and on the other side you have the horrific ghosts fighting the intruders of their dwelling.That's pretty great. The plan was Ice/Ghost and Electric/Ghost, I can easily make the Electric one some kind of ancient Mewtwo-like artificial mon.Heroache could be some kind of guardian line? Maybe with another new Ghost type. (Perhaps failed prototypes of the Electric legend?) Who knows.
>>59281034One thing I'll warn you about before you begin is to not give your players alot of pokemon. Start them with 1, add new ones very slowly and evenly. If you give them too many battles will take ages and they'll never lose. Make up a reason for why they can't field more than 1 pokemon at a time. Anyone who's played in a group with a necromancer doing the skeleton army build knows why.Also do group initiative so everyone decides their actions together. Much faster.
>>59282173Trust, I've run many tabletop games before. Solid advice though.
Well, last 10.Any picks for the OP? How about questions?
>>59282406>Any picks for the OP?Rocket Golurk.>>59271451Because he's cool.>How about questions?Considering two anons came in with new regions? "What's your OC's favorite region to visit?" or something?
>>59282417>what's the best representation for this thread?>an image that wasn't made by anyone in this thread!You graduated top of your class in Calcutta, didn't you?
>>59282435bro but it's rocket golurk
>>59282437>It's rocket golurk"I'm a a Rocket Mon!""Rocket Mon! Burning up my fuse up there, alone!"
If I drew a mustache on Rocket Golurk, would it be acceptable as an OP image?
>>59282437So go make a Golurk thread if you want to post Golurk. This may be the only original creation thread in this website's entire history that actively campaigns against creating anything new, no wonder you worship a computer.
>>59282466>So go make a Golurk thread if you want to post Golurk.... acceptable.He's just a cool guy with rockets. I like cool rocket guys. Don't mind me.
>>59282406I have one: “How many troons do you predict will seethe about AI over the course of this thread?”
This one's>>59244286A great OP.
>>59282459
>>59282466
>>59282492Glad to be a member.
>>59282498Basically
>>59282488You genuinely want to use a piece of art by someone who posted this as the op?>>59280244Use something someone made this thread.
>>59282523Take the suggestions, anon. Then make the thread with what you like.
>>59282498Retard can't understand that anything drawn by a toddler is infinitely preferable to anything cobbled together by a computer while you pull a roulette arm. It's not your creation, it's not your idea, it's not your vision. You want all the prestige of being an artist without putting any work into being an artist. You are a fraud and any idea you luck your way into will be lesser because you had to have a machine do it for you.
>>59282552Nigga, do we call ourselves artists just because we told the PC "do this?"We said it all the time: is only something we use for fun. Sorry your Patreon died because someone else managed to recreate your style and cash on it before you could.
>>59282552Retard needs to elevate subhuman scribbling garbage because he can't understand that the result matters more than the process.
>>59282571>Retard needs to elevate subhuman scribbling garbage because he can't understand that the result matters more than the process.The simple distinction is that AI demands no excellence. Humans care about human greatness. AI will always be a novelty, as it holds no depth and requires struggle."For fun" is whatever. People smoke dicks for fun, if that's your thing then you do you I guess.
>>59282562>>59282571I don't care what you call yourself, fraud. Keep sperging out every time you're told that the bare minimum of participating in a creative thread should be the ability to create something with your own hands. If you worship your computer so much, stop reposting this hand drawn art you have such a low opinion of and just make AI fanart instead.
>>59282571Would you like to point out which of the drawings in your folder you would call subhuman scribbling garbage? https://mega.nz/folder/7MZhhRzA#d__DtSaqxctoawZZL3hxWw I'll wait.
>>59282571>subhuman scribbling garbage:( I thought my art was pretty cool.

Ugh, of course this sad sack joins in too.

>>59282701>>59282711It's incredible how this place can have almost no activity, but we are the most active the moment some twat comes and says "I hate you, I hope you die!", and then we are a giant magnet for any asshole on this site.It's ridiculous.

>>59279079That's quite sad, but also wholesome. And not too different to how my own OC (for convenience's sake, let's call him "Mysterious OC [A]"! Or just "[A]" for short) got his Volcarona:https://pastebin.com/VU1EcT2WHm. Maybe this was unnecessarily roundabout, but oh well, hope it's not too boring to read.>>59280244If only I had the time...Not that I could revive this thread by myself, but still.>>59280707Don't we all? Tho myself, I miss almost everyone from here.
We've reached Twitter champagne socialist levels of pretending to not understand things, which is weirdly befitting given the average political orientation of the average anti-AI fag. We ought to start calling this kind of neuroticism something like "AI Derangement Syndrome". Hey, wait a minute...>>59282577AI doesn't demand excellence and neither does a toddler's crayon gibberish (or really anything created by someone just beginning to make artwork), and that's okay. Not everything needs to "demand excellence" o algo and pretending otherwise is pure pretentious retarded douchebaggery. Is there even any benefit from banning AI posting beyond forcing that truculent wastrel to complain about another thing instead? Probably not. Ignore it and don’t interact with it if you don’t like it, it’s harmless.>>59282579>"keep sperging out", he says while sperging outIs it that difficult for you to not act like a baboon that got its ass smacked whenever you see an AI post here?>with your own handsHey retard, there's something called "prompt engineering" and "typing out the prompt" that's necessary to get an AI to work. And just that's for models that aren't locally hosted or trained.>>59282587My comment was never intended to implicate anything posted here, it was intended to rebut the aggressing ape's that thinks its fecal matter somehow has more value than some anime girl Bing spat out. And trust me, there's stuff in there that I think ranges from mediocre to terrible, but I have the tact to not talk about it because at least those people wanted to actually contribute to the thread, and ignoring things I don't like is easy (but still too hard for some people apparently). There's also a lot of things in there that I do like, so what's your sad excuse for a point?>>59282606I apologize, that comment was not meant for you. I'm sure whatever you've made is at least more appealing to look at than that fetid ape's babbling. Obviously this will be my last post about it.
