The hate runneth over editionPrevious >>59195674>FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon in the real world. 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

>>59310099>You sat there waiting.>Not wanting to leave her alone.>She looked strangely peaceful while sleeping.>It was strangely uncanny.>Maybe because it was the first time you saw her like that.>A pillow made of hair and the blanket obscured most of her head.>You lost the sense of time as you didn't know how much time had passed.>You only noticed it when you checked the time on your phone just to get flashbanged by the screen.>It was already dark, and you didn't notice.>Not only that, you noticed that your breath was visible in the phone light.>Like a boiled frog, but in reverse.>You stood up and wandered towards the light switch to check if the power had returned in the meantime.>You flicked it once, you flicked it twice, but nothing happened.>What you did notice was that the air was comparatively warmer.>You turned around to look at Layla while leaning your back against the wall.>Was she having a nightmare?>Or was it something else?>She wasn't exuding this amount of cold when she first showed up at your place.>Has it been so long that you forgot how it felt?>You did end up with some frostbite.>But only in the places where her claws phased through your body and where her tears landed.>Maybe a blanket was enough to insulate it from her.>Then again, she woke up in a better state of mind.>Now you didn't know if she would do the same.>And honestly, you doubted that it would reoccur.>You rubbed your hands together, trying to regain some of the warmth you lost.>The option to go for a jacket was there.>But something was keeping you from going to get it.>Layla was in your house; she confided in you, and in a certain way she was now your responsibility.>And your fault.>You did drag her with you on Halloween.>At the end of the day, you did save someone that day by dooming someone else.>The thought that if you didn't take her along, she wouldn't have ended up like this crossed your mind.
>>59315979What's CopAnon planning here? You've got me curious, now
>>59315791Not bad
Reminder: You don’t have to have a multi-part story in mind to contribute. Short posts about how someone who became a certain Pokémon would live their daily lives are appreciated too.>Anon turned into a Mimikyu and builds a collection of life size plushies to inhabit>Centiskorch chef trying not to burn the food as they cook it with their tiny legs>Pilot of a major airline wakes up as a Zebstrika>Anon deals with their bulldog becoming a Granbull overnight
>>59317113How do you mean, anon?
>>59318116I think he means how I broke up the format, getting all the stories into one post and moving the Statistics bits into another.
>>59317770What’s the joke with the pilot one?
>>59319012Nothing special, just that you need hands and feet to fly a plane. Something that a zebra has neither of.
>>59319332That would cause some problems. Fortunately commercial airliners and all other reasonably large aircraft have copilots specifically for medical emergencies.
