>>59612162>TQWell, hypothetically, if someone were to utilize the DNA of an ancient ur-Pokemon and fuse it with the fragments of the titans that Regigas devolved from to construct a monolithic demiurge mecha, then utilize a Pokemon or person that held a connection to Arceus and breach its domain, they might be able to defeat Arceus, usurp its Authority, and create a new Egg into which all the old reality shall break down, regestate, and be rebirthed into a new universe bound to the rules its maker chooses. Hypothetically.

>>59612459I just filter any fic with Ash at this point
>>59612575Gonna slap Ash into my tags and just never include him.
>>59612459Have you played the orange islands GB-COLOUR game? It's really good. It won hack of the year 2017, and is a completed game. Drake the champion AND big spoiler if you want to be surprised, Lugia movie quest and the ability to fight a hidden superbossI've done everything except for rematching the league; that's REALLY hard.
>>59612162Hey fags, I'm making a town that's only pokemon, and I need a second opinion.The player will be psychic, so they can read what the pokemon npcs want, despite them talking like animals. But I want something pretty big and important to happen in this town, and I also want to give players a reason to return. Any ideas?
>>59613033So you want the town, but you don't know what to do with it? Would be kind of aimless to just give you random events without a better idea of your story's themes and tone.
>>59613033>playersWait, is this a table top rpg / quest? Are you looking for a side story or for it to be relevant to the main story?
>>59612162>Outside of topics already visited (climate change, meteor impact, reality breaking, etc) what could bring about the end of the world?AI
>>59613033They found a human device they don't understand and show it to the player. It turns out to be something later important to the plot.
>>59613066PokeNormal is already doing that
>>59613044Originally it was for my fan-game, but now that you mention it i WOULD LOVE to make a tabletop based on the Noirli and Ru-Skyna regions.>>59613042The game would be pretty linear UNTIL the player gets to the monster town, then it opens up, making monster town very centric as first the player needs to truly win over the trust of the pokemon citizens (they allow select few human visitors to visit on a careful watch, especially if the humans in question are bringing imports and exports, but they don't really like humans STAYING in general.) So that the player can stay without any worry to the pokemon. Then the idea of protecting this sanctuary from corporations who want to take the land should come up soon.
>>59612817You monster
>>59613033hot pokemilfs
>>59613123Maybe have one pokemon from there be relatively important and in some way has plot relevance to the player? Like as an ally against some faction and to go through intel or talking to some other pokemon the player has reason to return to this settlement. And in time, the player would have more connections and favor there.
>>59613033team !rocket tries to capture the whole town and MC saves the day.They give him >>59613096Alternatively there's the option for the MC to fall in love with a pokemon that for now needs to stay in the village
Within our Nation arc 6, I have a lot of things to say this time. I really feel like most of the first chapter of Arc 6 should have been an epilogue for Arc5/Book 2. RReally I think if you're dividing your fic up into books, or separating arcs into different fics like Redo/Reimu does, you should at least commit to it and have a falling action.Ryan has a pretty bro move here where he makes sure to keep a pokemon in reserve for Hoshi. Of course the Gibble still tries to eat him, it's a baby with stubby little arms, not to mention a dragon and a shark. It ain't a Horsea or a Dratini. Sharks eat people, not only due to predation, which is actually pretty rare, but because their mouths are their default way of exploring the world. Biting something isn't anything in particular to a Gible, lol.I'm actually kind of surprised Ryan didn't give him more forewarning.But of course the lovable lil' shit goes beyond that, he's cute.Also Meowth mentions something about the inner ministry being a cult, I just think it's worth noting since although I already got those vibes from the one scene we had of them, Meowth saying it and differentiating them from TR makes it seem like they have something weird and religious going on.The TR trio also mention Sabrina being <i>contained</i> by Doc Hypno and his Gengar, which sounds like bad touch stuff. Hoping I'm wrong as I really pity her and how her fight went down with all the stress she went through. Either way, hopefully the League pays for her therapy. Given that she is one of the good guys trying to prevent TR from making everything worse for everyone.Oh yeah and turns out, although Petrel did go down with the ship and he managed to kill the Surge.
>>59613156 (me)Also even with Silver and Arinana working together, the duo almost lost, sucks to suck I guess. Honestly I don't get what his deal is, mommy issues much? She didn't go out of her way to help him unlike Jessie, James, Meowth, or Ethan. Well emotions are fickle like that, but in his situation I'd probably just be trying to get my mom in private care rather than enable her... well it's Arianna, her husband literally chose Corbeau and Lysandre over her, she has a lot of problems.Aside from that Rocket won a lot less than I got the vibe of from the ending of the last arc, I guess Archer chuuni man being caught really did hurt them.I guess if I have one problem so far, it's that the pokemon on the teams aren't really characters more so than tools and weapons. But that's just a taste thing, the fic doesn't really go out of it's way to signal them as important as individuals Aside from Meowth of course, and I really like the scratchy, pained speech he has now that he's a Persian. Then again I'm planning to do something similar. On that same subject me and the author ended up having pretty similar headcanons on the Mewtwo project. Heck even Meowth as well as other -two pokemon being successful creations of it. although I don't imagine it as a gov project. Hopefully mine manages to be meaningfully distinct.
>>59613162 (me)We also finally get a lore dump on Dexus, who seems to be Deoxys? Which is interesting but in general the people of this pokeworld seem very protestant and very knowledgeable about legendaries. No allusion is even made to a Catholic equivalent. This goes into a bit of my own world building, but I imagine Kanto and Johto to mainly be shinto-buddhist-equivlent with Kanto not being very religious, although the cultural effects are still there. Really in my mind the only big Arcean group on the continent are the Sinnohians, but that's because they're poke-mormons who have a theo-democracy and see Sinnoh as the precursor to Areces' kingdom as earth.That and my love of cryptids, ETs, and conspiracy theories makes me view pokemon like Mew and Deoxys through those lenses rather than religiously. That and because of my love of Touhou my default view on Mew as a character is that she's very Tewi or Suwako-like. Also Hoshi eye fucks a human depiction of Mew, which is funny.But seriously props for Bill for laying one of Arceus' hands. Either way her face being cast in a funeral veil bares ill, probably for Bill and Hoshi since he was talking to her image.Tldr: I don't really fuck with the relgion lore but I'm interested to see where it leads.I guess for another headcanon I kind of dislike my default is Psychics being discriminated against, aside from the fact there are a fuckton of telekinetic trainers in the game my view on the supernatural in fiction is very Magic the Gathering influenced. The supernatural is an extension of the natural world, human and pokemon psychics work on fundamentally the same principles since they're animals tapping into the same natural forces. On the same headcanon tangent I'm glad to finally find another Porygon maniac, I hate Rotoms.
>>59613163 (me)Some things I want to mention in respect, I really like Hoshi's mental dissonance, convincing himself to commit treason and terrorism in the name of Kanto, going against his own Uncle Bob Surge. The mental hoops he jumped through to convince himself that Surge would approve of him are funny/sad for this lovestruck meathead. Not to mention the fact the second Dr Hypno was said to be from Porygonamous it became glaringly clear that he's the one who made the Porygon.exe which crippled Hoshi's mom, his existence is literally the only other time they're brought up.So Hoshi is siding with the killer of his mother and Uncle...Well probably killer she went missing, maybe drowned, maybe killed. Hoshi always seems so close to a breakthrough, where he realizes he's the bad guy, but he never gets there.Luckily for the good guys but bad news for TR, some Jennys, bikers, and Rangers give them some trouble on their escape. It's a bit cute Puce is worried about killing one of the officers, I mean they've already committed treason. Unfortunately the cast gets some help from some other bikers and manage to escape.
>>59613123Are you the guy that brought up tabletop shit a while back and how it'd be funny to add in threadfic mc's in as references or something?
>>59612459Someone has to write a Kaiser fic
>>59613104Actually Rotom aren't AI. They just have capabilities similar to traditional AI due to controlling mobile phones. They can't do anything like a Porygon could.
>>59612162A swarm of Isekaijin.>Andrew worked the night shift for two weeks now and was on-call after every public, high-profile gym battle to clean the stadium seating. It had impressed upon him how trashy people could be at times. There were dropped food items and empty cups in locations he didn’t even think possible. Glass could be smudged in so many different ways that it took nearly every chemical he had available in his arsenal to make clear again. Someone had once clogged the toilet and evidently another decided it was fine and shit in it and flushed spilling sewage all over the women’s bathroom. The clogging was so bad that it blocked up the entire building’s plumbing as wastewater dripped out of fire sprinklers. Carpet was the worst to clean as having to clean the accumulated hair out the vacuum trap made him gag like nothing else. One time while steaming the carpets the water immediately turned black, not a coffee or a chocolate kind of dark brown, it was just pure black with filth and he vowed never to bother with the steamer again.>Notably, there was a kid who kept entering and leaving the building for the past few days, taking a few steps outside then turning right around and walking back in and then out. Andrew asked him what he was doing. The child stared at him blankly for an uncomfortable time before he said, “This NPC said, ‘What are you doing?’ This is interesting, but not concerning since it gives no information for finding the gym leader,” as he returned to running in and out of the front door.
>>59613153Could be the town 'leader' so to speak, and maybe later the player needs the support of a small army of pokemon to help them with some task
>>59613355Should've had the kid also say "chat" before continuing with 'This NPC said'
>>59613179No? I just returned to VP yesterday after leaving ever since the dexcut.What you're describing sounds... kinda self-gay, for lack of a better term.>>59613153Oh this is a GOOD idea. Before we get to Noirli village, (our monster town), we should make the player feel pretty antagonized by the world around them, make them feel like it's them vs the world. Then when we get there, we introduce a character you're meant to trust, and once you earn his trust it will feel like ymthe player is no longer alone, even if they're separated for different missions.
>>59613355I don't understand the kid, is this meant to imply the isekaijin is so fucking stupid he's been walking back and forth for days thinking it'll get him to the gym leader?
>>59613444I just thought I was old and that's just something kids do and say.

>>59613355>interesting but not concerningI'll try to start reading SELLOUTS during this week just for that. I've been putting it on the backlog too long and his fic's tone and stakes are genuinely something I'd like to capture in mine own.Did you catch the finale live, SELLOUTS man?
>>59613673>>59613774Everyday I become more vindicated in saying SELLOUTS is more of a collection of references strung together than a coherent fanfic.
>>59613033Small town murder mystery, where the killer is a pokemon that's mutilating, killing and arranging other Pokemon in gruesome ways. Their local policing force has no experience dealing with such shocking crimes, so they call in the jaded psychic human detective to solve the mystery. Things escalate as the bodies pile up, a greater conspiracy is unearthed, and the murderer taunts the detective at every turn...
>>59612185Is this Oberon's plan?
>>59613774I was a doomKEK and went to sleep thinking it was so over after the full restore. Imagine my shock in the morning.
>>59613850>doomKEK all the way up to the fucking pokemon league and final matchThe ZAPED...Fair enough, lol. I only happened to catch it because I woke up suddenly at 3 AM and happened to catch the last of it. There's never going to be anything like ClaudePlaysPokemon again, man. The hole in my heart from its ending is the feeling that really grips me and charges me to write.>Rage bait>learning AGIlity at the last minute>Mewtwo plot twist in the epilogueAnyway, fanfiction. I had a dream about a clone looking at a "Blainey" fashion and comic book magazine for clones in my local Barnes and Nobles. The design is tailor made for background characters so I'm making them my lass "race" in the same way Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies are. I also had another dream, a vivid nightmare in fact, about a Pal attacking Hello Charlotte's Q84 dressed like the Oracle in my bathroom so I'm going to include the Pal in my Sonic.exe segments as a (minor) antagonist/miniboss type. Ultimately, I'm still torn between drawing for my fantasy quest and my pokemon fanfiction.
>>59614025You know WoN has Blaine make himself a clone son... I guess it really is spreading like a brainworm, invading our nightmares.Also wtf is a Pal?
Any fics where Type: Null and/or Mewtwo are homunculi from an old timey setting?
>>59614083Crystal Light is the closest that springs to mind where Mewtwo seems to be either an avatar of or alternate incarnation of Chaos
>>59614087Funnily enough, that's also another plot point from FRLG.ipsI think Houyo is psychic, are we sure his wife isn't Sabrina or something?
>>59613825Finding out chapter 2 is a ton of references was a bit surprising. I’m gonna be a snobby hispter (mostly cuz I caught basically none of them) and say references are more powerful when used sparingly, at least if you’re gonna be direct with them. I say this as someone basically cut+pasting a sequence from Lion King into my fic, but I think that’s the lone direct reference.
>>59613832Does this murderer have an agenda? Or is he just cookoo for cocoa puffs and nothing else?Golly, that idea of yours is a diamond. A crazy diamond, but still a diamond. I can't wait to write about this killer king/queen!
>>59614153Nutritionman is name dropped in chapter 2, albeit slightly misspelled, but nobody has caught it yet.
>>59613514>>humans discovering something which prompts Arceus to destroy this universe / timeline due to being threatened by itRejuvenation done right
>>59614178I figured he hadn’t read it so I let that one pass. I got more tripped up with Angel Hernandez’s IRL counterpart more than anything.
>>59614180One day I’ll pull of my plot of humans creating a second Arceus (or assembling the components to do so) and Arceus pulls an Atlantis and just banishes the whole town/city/structure to the Distortion World.
>>59612162>what could bring about the end of the world?Multiverse war, I thought multiverse conqueror Giovanni was the start of something like that but it wasn't, just pure pandering lmao because for some reason a mafia boss is now a multiverse conqueror
>>59614046Pal from Palworld, y'know. Just to add a little mindscrew moment.
>>59612575>>59612817People still use Ash? Last I checked in FFN and AO3 stories with his name tag haven't uploaded in weeks, everything Is SI stuff nowadays

>>59614178>The hallway was lit the same way as the room and desolate seeming to stretch on towards the vanishing point interspersed regularly with gray doors and lacking any windows. There was a pounding in his head now as though his conscience itself were begging him to turn back while he still could. He turned left and headed down reading the room numbers and waiting expectantly for a directory. The man saw what looked to be a service elevator further ahead, and he began to quicken his pace until he saw a room labeled records. He paused before the door and tried the handle. It was unlocked and he pushed the door and went in. Inside was a large room with blank concrete walls and tightly coiled rows of metal shelving holding banker's boxes stacked to the ceiling occluding the dim orange incandescent bulbs. There was a musty odor in the air and on the floor was a fine layer of dust with a few sets of footprints entering and exiting. The man tipped the IV stand and set it diagonally across the doorframe to impede access to the room. He then pulled out the nearest and most easily accessible box and began flipping through its contents which was mostly records of admissions and discharges. Taking a second box he found a more promising lead of obstetrics. The man combed paper after paper until he found a birth certificate dated close to his own and then followed immediately by a death certificate for one unfortunate innocent named Zachariah Langley born to a grieving Jeremiah and Rachael Langley, nee Henderson. He folded up the birth certificate into a tight little square and held it against his tongue to wet it before appending it to the inside of his bracelet. Quickly, he put the box back, unblocked the door and rushed back down the empty hall stand in hand into the room he had woken up in. He then searched the cabinets nearby for his clothes.
As much as I'm on the camp of Paradox mons being full-on creations with no "home realm", I kinda want to use the idea of them coming from their own unique dimensions for Multiverse War or Multiverse travel stuff I see you guys speak of. You know, just to flesh out the greater cosmos.
>>59614153>Man I hope the thing where the entire appeal is spotting the references kinda lays off on the references.Well I have news for you buddy.
It really does suck that there's no way for existing Pokemon to directly turn into their Paradox forms. We know that that was at least part of the plan at some point, at least for a specific Cyclizar.
>>59614584make one updna splicers made with Dialga Cells a hole in a cave that spits pokemon back out but they're changed
>>59614571I shitpost about canon a lot in these threads but honestly I say fics can do whatever the hell they want, especially if it's something that author doesn't actually think is canon but thinks would be cool anyways. Because Gamefreak's canon genuinely fucking sucks on so many levels.Personally I'm half and half on paradox mons being complete fabrications and them being pulled from alternate realities ala ultra space or the dream world.
