>>59338652For some reason, this Mt. Coronet reminds me of Kakariko Mountain.Must be the clouds.
>>59338652>Write a small anecdote in the POV of one of your OCs Pokemon, going through an adventure without their trainer.I will take the opportunity to come up with proper names for Genes team, right now though I don't know what to take inspiration from for their names.... Eevee should probably be some random pet name like Vee, Fluff, or like.... I dont know, furball.
Peaceful weekend
>>59340205Indeed. Good to know the /tog/ peeps actually have lives lmao.
>>59339527>Eevee should probably be some random pet name like Vee, Fluff, or like.... I dont know, furball.Fluffball? Veeball?...Veebucks?
>>59340513Veeball is interesting me...For Lucario I have been thinking Raul, Serperior makes me think something like... Gawain, because of Green knight, or Rein. For mimikyu...Tepu. Absol can just be called Omen and Crobat makes me feel..... Brian, just Brian.Larvesta would be called Sol, and Charcadet I want to call it.... Cali, as in Caliburn.
Previously I had only told Bibianon and Zatchanon about this, but there was a basic synopsis for the final act of Grym Tales past the Vyce arc.An advanced mutant Deoxys (referred to as AM-Deoxys) fell to earth, and began targeting the legendary Pokémon across each region by splitting itself into clones and having said clones infect the legendary Pokémon, turning them into hyper violent hybrids.The idea was that while Grym and friends were trying to track down and stop the original AM-Deoxys, I would have encouraged others in the thread to "team-up" with another anon to fight against one of the infected legendaries. Sort of an "everyone bands together" deal.The finale would have had everyone come together at the end to fight AM-Deoxys, whose chest crystal was in fact a megastone, causing AM-Deoxys to become Mega Deoxys.
>>59341519>AM-DeoxysIs his theme idea about hate?
>>59341811KekI'm sure it would have had some very strong words for humanity along those lines of IHNMAIMS
>>59340982Neat names
Do you give your OCs Japanese alternative names?
>>59342570I thought about it, but then I dropped the idea, msinly because I feel I would've put random nonsense.In fact, here's one I had in mind: Tekarukite.
>>59342570This was something that actually came up in the super early days of the thread and nobody ever did anything with it afterwards. The one I came up originally for Alex was "Arashi Tanegashima" meaning "storm gun", written traditionally as "Tanegashima Arashi". In kanji this would be>種子島・嵐Because in Japan you write your names with the last written first because the culture emphasizes the ̶f̶a̶c̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶u̶n̶c̶h̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶s̶o̶u̶l̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶l̶l̶e̶c̶t̶i̶v̶i̶s̶t̶ ̶b̶u̶g̶m̶e̶n̶ family lineage over the individual. I considered having Alex forsaken that naming convention in order to emphasize his personal focus on individuality and also because it rolls off the tongue in a Romanized brain ("storm gun" versus "gun storm" read literally), but I decided against it because it would be a grammatical, linguistic, and cultural anomaly, although he would still go by his first name Arashi regardless. The idea came from the fact that Wanderer had released around that time and that was what I named mine.

Free OC. The Turffield Gym Trainer Girl. I based this on the character models of the gym trainer girls of Hulbury and Circhester (of either game versions) + the face, clothing, and "personality" of the Gym Trainer Neesan from the Turffield Stadium.She has no name since she's just a generic NPC trainer class.
>>59346958>it wasn’t a smug femboy>this whole time it was a girl I’ve been tricked, backstabbed and bamboozled
>>59347018In this day and age, I can see this as an actual complaint.
>>59347018Just make her a femboy lmao
Ok, I have to apologize to davidanon for taking me so long with the model, but the main problem I was facing is not being able to find a way to make the body into a musculous body or any attempt from making it to feel off until very recently, Here you can see the comparison between the old and the new one in 3 sides (new one is on the left, the old one is the right one, the bigger change was on the legs and a little bit in the arms).Now with this done its just finding the correct clothes, I'm also sharing it in case you want to change something like the skin tone, the hair, the eyes or the shape of the body in some part, etc. And again, fucking sorry for taking so long.
>>59347018fag
>>59347635Damn, that's a lot of cake!
So, did anybody saw the Nintendo Direct? Any Wiwa news?
>>59349278What do you think?
>>59349278I didnt see it but I heard from second hand, but yeah, aside from Pokopia there wasnt any Pokemon news.I was genuinely surprised to see a remaster/expansion to Dragons dogma 2 since I thought it failed for the most part.Seeing the Final fantasy gacha unchained from EoS status made me happy.Some of my friends craved for KH4 news for YEARs so they were bouncing around the walls this direct, and seeing the trailer of the OOT remake made me icky since they seem to be going for a more realistic design and also the possibility that Nintendo might BotWify OOT, which feels like a sin.Oh yeah, the Pokopia DLC looked nice being able to be underwater, but I'm curious what other lore implications will be in there or if It's going to be just a new environment for you to build.
>>59349347I don't know what to think that's why I'm asking you.
>>59349672>lore implicationsOH NONONONONONO WHAT IS THIS???
>You are challenged to a battle by Midori!https://files.catbox.moe/78yg08.mp3New renders soon, writing up rules for the New /tog/ setRegarding the set, here's a few notes.>set is based around the Platinum/HGSS era of cards>all Pokémon can be used, but there are no special types in this dex (ex, Prime, Tera, etc)>NO AI card art allowed at all>If you make a card, it'll be VEEY much appreciated if you also make the art for it>please consider making at least one trainer card if you make a few cards!Submissions and full rules open up next week, lasting until late August.

>>59350050>NO AI card art allowed at all>If you make a card, it'll be VEEY much appreciated if you also make the art for itAre you sure you're in the right tab?
>>59350378Very funny

Finally. After so long, I'm finally in my two free weeks vacation actually, it started yesterday, but I've been doing grocery shopping and random stuff, I may as well be anywhere but here. Good to know this place stands.>>59347635Is ok. I've never been very picky about people do stuff for me. If anything, I'm flattered you still try.Also, damn, I feel like the dude from Silence of the Lambs, because my character has a nice ass. It's obvious the game was made with female bodies in mind.>>59349672>I'm curious what other lore implications will be in thereEither a way to get Lugia, or we will have to fix whatever nuclear spill humans left. Remember that Kanto was the most modernized of Pokémon Japan.>>59350050Now that's a banger>>59350378Maybe I could learn to draw during these days. Nothing else to do. Does anybody have a copy of "drawing with the left side of your brain", or whatever that book was called? Also, Loomis if anybody has it.
>>59350407>NO! You have to accept my garbage, you have no choice! By all means feel free not to contribute, you wouldn't be missed.
>>59350407>>59350378I see I've triggered a few people.
>>59350536>>59350050The funny thing is, this guy used to use AI a lot for the music in his game (which has been in development hell), he just either caved to the pressure of Redditors seething about AI or decided to start an anti AI grift in order to attract attention from them and gain traction for his game. AI hate is copium from people who aren't skilled enough to be better than AI.
>>59350597>used to use AI a lot for the music in his gameOnly as prototype tracks to get an idea of how I want it to sound.>which has been in development hellThat's none of your business, but the game is doing just fine.>decided to start an anti AI grift in order to attract attention from them and gain traction for his gameDon't be stupid. What I do here and with my game is seperate.This is a community creative exercise, so we should be being CREATIVE. No AI for the artwork, otherwise that defeats the purpose of doing this in the first place.If you're going to be an idiot, please put some effort into your posts. Thanks.
>>59349801To be fair, it was nice to see the world in a "humans have not existed for a while" compared to humanity just not being there or not being in view for the most part, like PMD, aside from that the art that came out of the game is very nice.>>59350410>'ve never been very picky about people do stuff for me.

>>59338652Rate this elite 4 Ice-type team (I know, I know; it sucks, but I hope it's competent enough since I'm going for a theme of icy caves and primal).
>>59347018hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok, and flat out deceived?yeah, me too lol
>>59350597>AI hate is copium from people who aren't skilled enough to be better than AIAnd imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness, but you'll probably need to have grok explain how these two points could be connected. If I ran a mile in six minutes and someone says they can travel a mile in one minute using a car, what do you think the most likely response would be? True, AI images are constantly being calibrated to be better than the hazy, eight-fingered sludge of 2021, but it's not 2021 anymore and the conversation has moved on since then. What has always flown over your head since you first crawled out of the sewers like the little rat you are is that artists don't just make art, art makes the artist as it's being made. A real artist learns, grows, and improves organically. Artists communicate with each other and form communities that strive toward bettering their understanding of art. You don't understand that because the skill floor and skill ceiling of typing a prompt is shaped like an Oreo. If you give a master artist a piece of chalk and a cave wall, they could still create something meaningful. If some good samaritan confiscated your keyboard from you, what would you have left to work with? This is why your thread's dead, btw.You think the art is the finished image, but what matters most is that someone took the time, put in the effort, made the attempt to express themselves. >Mad cause my TECHNOLOGY makes your effort less impressive? Give me a break. Can't draw worth shit? Nobody could draw well from the start. Unless you have Parkinson's, try.Someone who wants to organize an art contest has a right to say "you need to be able to do more than act like an ideas guy for a computer." There's nothing to be impressed with from someone whose claim to success is having an idea they can't act on. Yeah, a machine can travel faster than a marathon runner and sweat less too. But that isn't the point, is it?
Anyway, how was the first time your OC met their first Pokémon?
>>59351279>You think the art is the finished image, but what matters most is that someone took the time, put in the effort, made the attempt to express themselves.Actually no, the only thing that has ever mattered and ever will matter is the finished image. I literally could not give even half of a rat's ass if someone put in "effort" o algo to make something if that something looks terrible, if it looks like shit than it is shit, simple as. That's apparently a concept too difficult to penetrate your homo habilis skull, however. I don't know why the hell I keep dignifying this copium with any form of response when it's the exact same thing from the every person I've seen who shits on AI.Obviously everyone has to start somewhere, and that's fine. What's not fine is idiots parading around their Chris Chan ass artworks babbling about how it's better than le clanker because IT JUST IS OK. Now fuck off.
>>59351342Can you fucking stop replying to what he says? At this point its very clear he will always take the chance to bait you on your rants to derail the thread, same with glorifying AI art like that, we should be motivating others to work on their skills, not to denigrate them like you indirectly do.
>>59351342Shut up, alex. I don't care what you have to say.
>>59351359nta but skimming over the card stuffs in the mega and last thread the ai ban seems pretty dumb because barely people in the thread even use it and also there basically aren’t any ai cards already made either. ai can’t even coherently generate any non popular mons so unless people are going to try to submit pikachus it doesn’t seem like it’s necessary to ban ai because nobody is even going to try to submit ai cards in the first place. this whole debate seems silly and feels like it’s just two guys with irreconcilable value systems going at it because they just enjoy arguing, it’s a waste of time
>>59351288>how was the first time your OC met their first Pokémon?For Gene and Eevee, I have to imagine that he got it as a gift from his parents, being homeschooled I have to think that he was for the most part lonely, not being able to engage much with kids outside of any random party his parents held or any kind of activity they did outside, I could see Eevee being probably one of his first moments where he wanted to see the world outside.Actually this got me in the mood to write something, I can make another short story of how Gene meet Eevee, I need to investigate what royalty/rich/upper echelon british families live like though, I don't know how exactly I can search for references in that regard.
>o algoUgh, fucking pseudo-intellect wojak speak.
>>59351407Your first mistake was reading and not just kicking him in the dick.
>>59338652I'm designing a caveman OC and was wondering if you think a white-furred ursaluna would be great as a fur headdress? Or would it be better to use a Beartic? DESU, Ursaluna is more ancient, but if Beartic fits better, I'll use that.
>>59351466Beartic. Ursaluna are dopey looking, while Beartic are fierce looking, and all the cavehoes will think the Beartic-killer is hot as fuck for slaying a fierce beast.
>>59351464True.>>59351466Definitely Beartic. Such an underused Pokémon.
>>59351149>BaxcaliburI didnt knew that was a Pokemon. Aside from that, I respect the use of Lapras and Jynx in here.>>59351466Yeah probably your best option is Ursaluna if you want someone to be old, I do think maybe beartic is better, one thing I could suggest is maybe add mamoswine to the design too? You could probably use one of its tooths as a weapon or keep it as a chain. There is also tyrantrum, which you can probably use it as a makeshift helmet for him.
>>59351466Is this a serious prehistoric setting or a campy Flinstones type of deal? You should probably know that Ursaluna would be more common than Beartic unless you're in an tundra/mountain setting. Are you >>59351149?
>>59351501Yes. I wouldn't say serious, but not so cartoony; a nice middle ground for the Pokémon universe if possible.
>>59351503>Yes.Well Ursaluna is actually the much stronger beast in terms of stats, but I would assume you're not doing stats in your writing, so in that case Beartic is going to be more palatable to readers but Ursaluna isn't completely out of the question if it's some kind of mountain/Nordic forest area and not a hardcore arctic setting. In my opinion, however, Ursaluna's face actually sits better on the head and looks cooler because of the yellow circle in the center. You should probably consider how the hood is actually going to go over his head, if it's going to be the literal bear skin or just an inspired outfit, it's going to look differently if it just drapes over the head like a standalone pelt or if it's woven into a coat. This image isn't from Pokemon but it's something your post made me think of.>I wouldn't say serious, but not so cartoony; a nice middle ground for the Pokémon universe if possible.So, just the normal tone, then?
>>59351528Fuzzy boi

I had to do a important investigation yesterday, so I decided to bump with this shot that I am proud of making not that long ago, I just like how I managed to make everyone fit and not look out of place or "weird" in the shot.
>>59352768I hope it wasn't a hard one. Good image.
What would sound like a fun Gym Puzzle concept for a Rock-type Gym Leader?
>>59353413no other trainers in the gym, but you have to run through a rock slide to get to the battle arena, and if you get hit by the rocks then you just genuinely die
>>59353413Aside from doing some hiking I can't really think of any other way you can make a puzzle besides blocking the path like some of those strenght puzzles regarding blocks.Maybe one where you need to make rocks fall down to make a path towards the gym leader in the lower floor?
>>59353992>>59353513Maybe climb to the top of a mountain via Rock Climb?
>>59338652>>59353089What do you guys think of having firearms in the Pokemon Universe: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Weaponry_in_the_Pok%C3%A9mon_world
Here’s one of my region’s E4 member, Brigid. She specializes in Ice-type Pokémon.
>>59354678Here are the other 2 members of my E4. The guy with the afro is a Steel-type expert and the old man uses Fairy-types. The last member is a Bug-type user named Annette.
>>59354529I can see them being used, but mainly for law enforcement or hunters. There's also guys like the Safari Keeper. And we can't forget poachers or random criminals, but they probably use Pokémon more.
>>59354529Cain used to use one when he was in the military, but I can't imagine outside of peacekeeping forces or the actual army there would be much use for guns
>>59354681Fuck off David. You're still not wanted on this board.
>>59355355Hey, be nice. I was just sharing some OCs like everyone else.
>>59354052Yeah, that is why I referred to with hiking, there is just not much to do with rocks beyond making it an obstacle or make it platforms for your path.>>59354529Before it was there because it was still "our world, but with monsters", These days I think they never make actual guns because of age ratings. There is the entirety of genesect, blastoise technically having cannons in its back which becoming an actual tank on mega, and the sniper of Inteleon while dynamaxed, I think they get a pass because they don't look like regular guns.There is also the fact that now with Pokemons, they have become one of the weapons of war, like how we have weaponized elephants, horses and similar to be war mounts, there is also the fact that in Japan owning a gun is pretty rare (unless you are in the military or engage with Airsoft) compared to places like the USA.
>>59355430>>59354681>>59354678Go away please, David.
>>59355958I completely forgot about Gmax.I think a lot of people did, lol
>>59356116The only things worth remembering about SwSh are Gloria, Marnie, and Poké KId.Maybe Hop, but only to remember how fucking fun is to piss on a complete retard.
>>59355958I mean, Pokémon ARE the guns by this point. We can't return to the days of whips and taming, now is Pokéballs and friendship.
>>59357227Yeah, that is my point, These days Guns are kind of unnecessary when the animals themselves are so dangerous, and you can use those as weapons, there is an argument to be made about mass production and maintenance regarding living beings and how cost-effective it is, but beyond that? You have a tank in your ball that you can deploy at any time>>59356711Me like girls, so I also appreciate Bea, Nessa, Oleana and Sonia. Also, allister because his ghost design is fire.
>put effort in OCs>never RPWhat's the point?Also, do you know any good RP websites/forums?
>>59358080I like to write personal stories of my OCs that I will never share (also make porn of them).
>>59358080I never got the appeal of RPing. I get is something like playong a character, but never grabbed my attention.
Figured I'd open it up a couple days early!Introducing the NEW /tog/ set, NEW GENESIS!https://forms.gle/bMHQFK8b2NJUuqFo8This set is based on the HGSS era of Pokémon cards, so Attacks, PokéPowers, Pokébodies etc should reflect that of the HGSS era.Cards must be made using PokéCardMaker, - https://pokecardmaker.net/createCards must use the HGSS Template.All CANON Pokémon can be used, but there are NO Megas, EX cards, Tera types, Delta Species or the like. If you are struggling to create a card, use the HGSS sets for reference: https://pkmncards.com/set/call-of-legends/You have until August 20th to submit your cards!
Goodnight, /tog/.
>>59358421At its core it's collaborative writing. So you if you like writing, you might enjoy it, but your RP partners must not suck.
>>59359081Just to make sure I get my sources correct when making my card, I found this site that is a database of cards, would these sets be the HG/SS ones you talk about?https://limitlesstcg.com/cards
>>59358080>waste ocs on rp>instead of preping them to be a part of a good webcomicalso you just outted you're an onanist lmao
>>59360880That's a very chill Iono
>>59360880Not that all of them can write a decent fanfic, let alone draw a fancomic. Which is why most OCs are used for OLRPing (like with Zirca).
>>59360865Correct
>>59361185>its not people's fault that they are gay faggots without any grain of being multifaceted
>>59361212Try making an animated series; I fucking dare you.
>>59361260nah, i'm planning on webcomic. story so fire, ctulhu wakes up to read it. worldbuilding so extraordinaire, that marvel and dc sell themselves to me so their universes can become part of it. writting so flawless and complex, andrew hussie will kotow to beg me for my wisdom. hideo kojima will make me his heir. toby fox will live in my basement and yada-yada-yadaand animated series? nigga, i don't need my story to hit mainstream kek
>xe's actually wasting time writing things instead of keeping them all in xis mindlol brainlets
Up
>>59361277>i don't need my story to hit mainstreamProbably best mindset to have, you should always be striving to improve yourself, if you try to go for popularity, you end up having pretty dry works, or how "Creative projects done to cater everyone end up catering to no one" or something like that. Always write/draw/make what you want to do, or what inspires you, rather than hope for the views to come in.
>>59363857Reminds me when I made a green in another board.The first part reached over 3000 views, but when I made the sequel, it barely broke 500. Sometimes doing everything for the sake of art is the best mindset. If you focus on popularity, it will bug you when youe new stories aren't popular enough, or you get random spikes of "oh, this story is cool!", and then fade to obscurity.
I do like the idea that Lucario (I need to remember I called him Raul now) every once in a while makes Gene train, either because he doesn't want him to be weak, or because he is aware of Genes Upbringing so he doesn't want him to not be lacking in musculature.Offtopic, using the lucario model made me realize how bad are those spikes in his arms, I can't even do an arm cross with him without looking weird, kind of why he is kind of out of focus, lol.
>>59365015That would explain why he has a Boxing Bag in his room.Gotte keep the shape.
Good morning, /tog/!
>>59338652Need to actually do some stuff with my OC again at somepoint instead of just making designs for the sake of itNot the biggest AI fan but fun seeing my OC in the Anime style
>>59366541Comfy look
>>59338652Updated my steel type team. Anything that might need improvement?
Goodnight all, hope to see some cards submitted soon
>>59367572Have a nice rest, anon!
>>59338652>>59368314The abilities for some of the PLZA Megas have been added, what do we think about them:>Mega Staraptor: Contrary>Mega Scolipede: Shell Armor>Mega Scrafty: Intimidate>Mega Eelektross: Eelevate>Mega Pyroar: Fire Mane>Mega Malamar: Contrary>Mega Barbaracle: Tough Claws>Mega Dragalge: Regenerator>Mega Falinks: Defiant
>>59359081How does this look? I found Plus power and defender so I decided to make a single target plus power that is attached to the active pokemon, but remains in the board unlike defender.
I want to make a priest OC, but religion is very, very hidden in the Pokémon universe.
>>59369705Looks neat, but try this:"Attach Rigorous Training to your Active Pokémon. The attacks of the Pokémon this card is attached to do 10 more damage to the opposing Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). If the Pokémon this card is attached to moves to the bench, discard this card."Hope that helps!
>>59370112What do they praise? Because the main religion in Pokémon has been shintoism.
>>59370426Might do a new age religion founder, but a little less cult-like.
>>59370497Now that sounds fun
>>59370405Added the description and sent it over.>>59370112Like the other anon said, probably your best bet is going for shintoism, planning to make it similar to team plasma, or how do you want to go with your idea?
>>59370112Put him in Sinnoh. Problem solvedAlso if it's a play on that trope where the priest was a professional fighter or street punk in his youth but who mellowed out yet still packs as much of a punch as he ever did, that'd be based.
>>59369704I dont know enough about pokemon comp to get most of these, I am kind of surprised elektross is the only one that has an ability with a unique effect.would staraptor and malamar even have moves that can take advantage of Contrary? I dont think they have stat decreasing ones.
>>59369705Honestly creating cards is hard when I'm not exactly sure what fits Pokémon, my YGO brain is telling me to do stuff that I don't know if it would be allowed in the Pokémon TCGFor example, right now I got curious and checked the database, and I was surprised to see that TPC never made an Everstone card, I feel making it a trainer card that does not allow mons to evolve for 1 turn might be an interesting idea, but now I wonder why they never tried to do that.>>59366541What was her story again? Maybe talking about it motivates you to start thinking about more stuff than just doing designs for her.
Night
>>59373795I always wanted to make a Pokémon card, but I never got the meta behind it.I don't know if one effect I pick can either make it OP by accident, or just worthless even for early decks.
Trying to come up with the plot for the wt, not sure what should be the plot, or just making it a simple "Gene left his mons in the daycare while he was doing some errands on the city". And work from there.>>59366934I don't think you can't improve it in any other way, it looks solid.>>59375492You can always share the idea and ask how it sounds, like how I did with that card I shared a few days ago.
Bumping with the concept art Dawn made a while ago about Pokemon Gym trainers.
>>59376049A simple SoL story helps. Nothing too fancy, just a day in the trainer's life.That's how I usually do it.
Haven't seen a certain troll in a while.Maybe he finally grew up and moved on.......pfft, yeah right.
>>59376809looks like shit discord troon
>>59376809Pimpin'
>>59377351Go away, David. You're not welcome here and you know that.
>>59377398Why say harsh words, anon? I’m free to post what I want like everyone else.
>>59377411No, David.Go away, you know full well you're not welcome here. No one wants to see your game shilling even if you were wanted here.Take the hint and stay gone from this general, please.
>>59377411No, fuck off.
Toying around with some ideas, Need to clean up the outfit a bit
>>59378482You've never played a Pokemon game in your life, have you?
Starting early today I see
A tropical date with Hali :)
>>59378482What is the idea behind that outfit? Is it supposed to represent some Pokemon? Or just fairy type in general?
>>59379376No real story stuff yet (unless I can refine that outfit and get a nice bio working for her, I might scrap her) but all I got so far is that she's a fairy type specialist who has a cult following because of her music and controversial choice in fashion
>>59378960Pretty
>>59378482>>59379454I can see it, but maybe you want to tone it down. She doesn't look very Pokémon, more like "generic SSR gacha pull"
>>59379826Yeah, currently ger outfit is a bit too stripperific, even for me. I'm thinking maybe I can cover the legs and midsection, see if that works? Unfortunately the skirt is attached to her chestpiece, so if I get rid of that she'll need a new outfit.
>>59373795>>59375492The biggest difference between pokemon and yugioh is that pokemon has zero interaction. If your opponent does something, you cannot prevent it or respond to it until your turn. There was only one card that introduced interaction into pokemon, and said card was instabanned. Because of that, the meta for pokemon is setup. The game is ultimately going to become a slapfight where you take turns hitting the other guy as hard as you can, and most strong cards will 1 shot most pokemon once they're set up. So the goal is getting to that finished gamestate with your pokemon ready to swing before your opponent. Typically that means consistency, draw engines, and energy card acceleration. For example, Blastoise's ability lets him put any amount of water energy from your hand to your pokemon, when typically you're only allowed 1 per turn. So you can give a pokemon with a high cost but high damage attack all of their energy at once, thus achieving your winning setup before your opponent.
>>59380011>The biggest difference between pokemon and yugioh is that pokemon has zero interactionOh, Ok. So just like the videogame in PVP, the entire concept is prediction or set up.Honestly I think this helps me narrow down the concept of card making, thanks.
>>59380873Don't forget, you can also check out the cards from the HGSS era for an idea of how HP, attacks and abilities (then known as PokéPowers and PokéBodies) worked!https://pkmncards.com/series/heartgold-soulsilver/
>>59369704>Mega Staraptor: ContrarySTAB Close Combat and the newly added Knock Off, Blaze Kick, and Outrage should be pretty good, but it is probably going to get blown up by fast Ice attackers like Weavile and Mega Greninja.>Mega Scolipede: Shell ArmorHow to ruin a Pokemon 101 lmao>Mega Scrafty: IntimidateAbout what I expected>Mega Eelektross: EelevateLevitate + Beast Boost on a Pokemon with no weaknesses should be good, and it also has good coverage options and mixed attacking potential, but it's kind of slow so I don't see it being that good. >Mega Pyroar: Fire ManeLiterally Adaptability but for only one STAB. They saw a Pokemon that was already useless and decided to punish it even further.>Mega Malamar: ContraryNothing could possibly save this mon. Smogon gave it Simple + Contrary and that still didn’t make it useable. You could probably also give it Beast Boost and Intimidate on top of that and it still wouldn’t be good.>Mega Barbaracle: Tough ClawsOn paper STAB Close Combat, Stone Edge, and its coverage options should be good, but it has seven weaknesses and a middling speed stat like Eelektross so it’s not going to succeed.>Mega Dragalge: RegeneratorAlmost a complete powercreep of Hydrapple, it even comes with a pivoting move. The only disadvantage is that it can't hold Leftovers.>Mega Falinks: DefiantThis is kind of just a worse Mega Staraptor.
>>59379454I feel she should probably look more like an Oricorio or Flamigo, Sadly I don't know if those mons are available in the program or not. Oricorio Designs I do think would fit better with the loud design you have going on.>>59379891>Unfortunately the skirt is attached to her chestpiece, so if I get rid of that she'll need a new outfit.Cant you alphamask it or make the top be an accesory and keep only the skirt?
Have a nice night, /tog/
Quick scene, still busy with homework, so I wasn't able to make a very detailed shot.
>>59383529Nice scene, very comfy.
>>59359081is there a list of submitted cards so I can avoid overlap with anything I make? Also do you plan to remake staple stuff like potion/pokeball/etc or just going to assume the previous sets versions are canon to this set and focus on custom cards?
>>59384009Only two cards have been submitted to the drive currently, but you can make whatever you'd like. Some sets have multiple instances of the same monAlso, feel free to make staples!
>>59382471When I'm (finally) free on Friday I'll take a look!Also no Oricorio or Flamigo yet :(
See you tomorrow, guys.
>>59359081I'm not good enough to draw a convincing art so I went with one of those kind where they draw a really shitty picture and say it's stylized.
>>59385253I like it!
>>59385253Neat card
>>59386821Who is the character that is alongside brendan? I don't recognize who they are>>59385253>This card does 40 less for each energy in your retreat costI did not expect that to be a way to represent the weight mechanic in Pokemon, nice concept.
>>59387314The character near Brendom is Natasha, his younger (yet more mature) sister.She usually carries a Natu.
Good morning, /tog/. I hope this week has been treating you well.
Peaceful thread
>>59387544Yeah the clothes of her really lend themselves to natu with the color patterns, I did not know he had a sister.>>59388271This month I have been busy with college, I wish I had time to do something, but The teacher is basically making us do some big homework or study every couple days So I'm stuck doing them and taking the free time that I do get to myself, I should try working on that story of Gene dealing with Jacinthe or the mini tale of the baby mons of Gene doing some mischief or getting into trouble.
>>59388271Been working on project stuff, writing, dealing with this godawful heatwave (I am currently on the way to Birmingham today in record heat) and just trying to take things slow because the sun is my enemy.
What are some fun things to do with oc’s? I just really like designing them, I don’t even post them anywhere.. I get a sort of fomo from not posting even here. I’m just too shy. :(
>>59391302Themed playthroughs of a mainline game or seeing how far they can go in the Battle Tower/Subway/Maison/Tree.
>>59391302Many things: your own personal story, a silly insert story, maybe some art or a fun story.OCs to me is like making characters that resonate with you in your personal story. Is a good outlet to be creative.
>>59391302There is an option for making RPs too, still the main point to make OCs Should be for your own enjoyment, but there is always that desire to show off your own Blorbo, don't feel ashamed of that desire.>>59390913>because the sun is my enemy.The sun is a deadly laser as always.
>>59391919>The sun is a deadly laserBut we have a blanket!
Bumpng with one of my favorite shots from Platinumanons Comic. I just find funny the comically sized ball that will be thrown in the next 5 seconds.
>>59393326I like how Chimchar is still making it perfectly round.
>>59369705Another idea for a Pokemon card came up to me as I was working on other stuff, though I feel this effect is too Op, so I made the conditional that you are not able to attack if you do use this card, Still I feel I should make the heal be maybe 30 or 20.
>>59394951Here's my suggestion!"Heal 20 damage from all your Pokémon in play. Your turn then ends after playing this card (without attacking)."I like the render!
Woah, close.
>>59394980Sent over with the rewrite, right now I'm thinking what I want Genes effect to be, mostly because He is for the most part a young adult searching for a purpose, and also main reason why his pet/first mon is an Eevee that never evolved because of everstone. I could do the boring "search for the mons of Gene" but I want something that fits more broadly. This is just me listing possible options for him.Maybe I should leave this one behind and do his Pokemon first, before I tackle his own card.
>>59396677For this card, I recommend this:"You may search your deck for any 1 "Gene's" Pokémon and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards."
>>59397038Actually, get rid of the quotations around "Gene's"Makes it look nicer i reckon
Updated my ground-type team. I wish there were a ground-type punch move.
>>59397523>I wish there were a ground-type punch move.I used to give Swampert Focus Punch and Waterfall for that reason. My boy needs a smack move.Earthquake is good, but more is better.
>>59397038I think I will make mon cards first before actually making the Gene card.>>59397523>ToedscruelI keep forgetting that is a region variant.What is the idea of this team? I never played comp pokemon, so I can't just glance at the move list and understand what is going on.
>>59398505Out of battle theme: muddy rugby In battle theme: dirty playing
>>59399061That sounds interesting. His puzzle could be to try an run straight into mud piles to clear the path.
>>59399592It has been done
>>59399061I can see it. You could also probably add sandstorm somewhere to emphasize the fight getting very intense, and it can probably help you in the special defense side of things.
>>59338652Something I find very interesting about the Pokemon setting is how even though the world is supposed to be very peaceful, military vehicles exist and are actually more advanced than in the real world. It's mostly shown in the movies, but there are mechanized infantry vehicles, VTOL airships, directed energy weapons, and armed submarines, all of which still showed up one or two generations ago, yet simple firearms are the things that were written out of the world. Why? I never see anybody talk about this, ironically even regular firearms get more coverage in both commentary and fanfiction.
>>59401664Probably beause of the same reason Orre or Lt. Surge's war are never mentioned: technically, humanity is superior to Pokémon because we have the "tools" to counter them.Is a setting where teleporters, moving floors, insta-healing, matter control, even fossil resurrection, and you are telling me humanity just "happened" to stumble upon it?No, my friend. Humans in the Pokémon World developed guns, buildings, mechanized weaponry, and even Psy Control.The reason why is a post-scarcity society is because humanity probably was at the edge of extintion, and after very massive wars, some went "let's just stop fucking it up, and solve this shit". But as Lisandre confirms: humanity is walking a self-destructive path again.And, funnily enough, his "attempt" at solving it was probably the same one that made the Pokémon World a post-scarcity society: massive human and Pokémon losses.
>>59401664>>59401790Pretty sure its just age restriction stuff for the boring/IRL explanation, Pokemon wants to appeal as many people as possible, the ESRB and similar age ratings encumbered with entertainment more and more, So now if you are a show for kids you don't want to show actual looking guns to raise the age rating but it is ok to show space lasers or blasters. That is why you have so many series with enemies being robots or similar, to allow violence without actually having to show blood(samurai Jack and TMNT both having as main enemy robots as an example).
Surprise Rose jump scare
>>59402558So fluid....
>>59402558Very good animation, trying to improve fluidity between expressions and body proportions as the character moves around?
>>59402558I like how she can go from fancy hair to cute buddy hair.
>>59403203Nah, I just wanted show the difference between their personalities in a fun lil animation. It’s going to have dialogue and be longer as well, potentially voice acting but not sure how to share that here
I want to finish this module soon jesus I want to be free>>59404594>not sure how to share that hereUse catbox, you should be able to upload mp4 there and just share the link that is made once its done.https://catbox.moe/
>>59359081fuck it. Did another one with some effort this time instead of phoning it it. Based the card on a bisharp I found. I'll do a trainer card later.
>>59402558Give me her full body design and colors maybe she can be lewded, if you want.
>>59405311Very nice! If you'd like, I can make a scyther card to go along with it.
>>59405311That's a cool Scizzor
>>59405313that's a child
>>59405948To ToT or not to ToT, that is the question.Not implying anything, I just wanted to make a loli joke.
>>59402283Plus it would allows for variety in the setting, like spy thrillers and evil organizations in kids media. It helps that they all have machines to combat even the greatest of legendaries and mythicals.
>>59405331Have at it.
The desire of actually working in Stuff I want to do versus having to do homework for college, Probably today the moment I get home I will just fall asleep, and then I will be busy organizing shit due to the change of month.
>>59409450Get some sleep, man. Better ideas come from your rest.
What do you guys think about my trainer OC idea?>>59410079>>59410232I know these pokemon are somewhat generic, but them being popular is part of the strategy
>>59410248Generic or not, they are really nice to look at. It can be a realistic team for a Rich Girl. Or it would be Lady? I haven't played PK in a while.Anyway, I like it.
>>59410256Thank you! I just really tried to make a working concept for these pokemon, because I love looking at them all together, haha. I'm very happy you like my ideas
>>59410248For a contest team, she is well protected.>Gardevoir and Gallade are literal guardian angels>Gothitelle and Absol watch out for calamities, so she is safe now, and WILL BE.>Meowstic are very good butlers/maidsGirl must be posh as fuck.
