Drawing Board:
https://magma.com/d/0dve1EVRL9 In the previous thread, an anon made a drawing board for all of us to draw in (I think that's what they're called), come join if you just want to draw... just please be nice and be civil and all that. Other than anons reviewing the writings of other anons had shared on previous threads, game related discussions. KFC-anon proposed the Guild’s first expedition. It will be a collaborative writing with all of us.
Now the question for this thread, we will be doing 'A Wacky Dungeon Adventure' and 'Enter the Federation' story line according to the poll results so far. A simple question at the moment, (not because I'm rushing on making the next thread or anything!) what will your pokemon and partner, if any, be doing during this dungeon adventure. Just rough ideas at least.
Even if you came to the thread late, please come join the discussion with us! To start off, answer this question: What Pokemon would you want to take form of and would you like to join a guild composed of everyone in this thread or shall you do your own thing as a rogue explorer or any role?

lookie what we have here
>>53450514 >>If you die on a dungeon... do you reset and reload or do you accept the loss and continue? (or do you have someone to rescue you, which is unlikely) Depends on what I have on me. If it's nothing that important I just take it, but I'll be damned if i'm losing a Tight Belt to an escort falling into a pitfall trap. As for rescues, I'm usually the guy doing the rescuing.
>>Out of all the starters on all the games, which among them is likely a /vp/ anon (that isn't munchlax) Riolu, Shinx, whatever the most furry starter is
>>Let's say you became a birdmon but you're afraid of heights. What will you do on this predicament? You gotta make confidence your bitch, flight's too useful to chicken out on
>>Would you prefer the return of basic attack or just keep Moves as the only attacking option outside of items? Keep the basic attack but make it deal some kind of meaningful damage. I think 20 damage minimum would be fine, at least enough to finish off pokemon that just fell short of dying
Bullet
Ok here goes
>>53450511 Bullet the Noivern will be joining the expedition alongside his Partner Mimi the Indeedee, as he wants to interact with them more.
>>53450514 >>If you die on a dungeon... do you reset and reload or do you accept the loss and continue? (or do you have someone to rescue you, which is unlikely) i usually accept because i was taught early on to store my shit and not overprep going to dungeons.
>>Out of all the starters on all the games, which among them is likely a /vp/ anon (that isn't munchlax) Skitty & Psyduck
>>Let's say you became a birdmon but you're afraid of heights. What will you do on this predicament? I am afraid of heights, so i guess just not tell anyone and try and disimulate.

A simple question at the moment, (not because I'm rushing on making the next thread or anything!) what will your pokemon and partner, if any, be doing during this dungeon adventure. Just rough ideas at least. Traveling the region and just pal-ing around with each other. I've been watching a bit of that Spice and Wolf anime lately. While the personalities of them obviously wouldn't fit that particular interactions, its fun to imagine social dynamics like that, a sort of "slice of life" literally just every day sort of thing that you never see in stories. >If you die on a dungeon... do you reset and reload or do you accept the loss and continue? (or do you have someone to rescue you, which is unlikely) Well, I've been playing Adventure Squad which can get surprisingly difficult when combining monster houses spawning in several 3-4 pokemon tall stacks, who get 3-4 attacks each turn.
I take my lumps and keep on going if I get beat though, where's the fun if you don't take your loses as they come? Maybe I'm just autistic from coming into PMD from rogue-likes like TOME, but sometimes dying (or at least losing) can be fun.
>Out of all the starters on all the games, which among them is likely a /vp/ anon (that isn't munchlax) Well, I mean, it IS 4chan...so that pervy cyndaquil seems actually reasonable kek.
More seriously probably some anti-social autist starter, so probably the sassy, quirky...lonely types? Checking things here and memekip is the lonely type for EoS apparently, so I guess that one.
>Let's say you became a birdmon but you're afraid of heights. What will you do on this predicament? Hop/flutter around like a chicken or something ig.
Maybe try to find some way for precautions like using a balloon or sometihng

Hmm, I'd probably end up just flying close to the ground.
The four moves limit is something I feel is an artificial restriction that is a holdover from the game-boy era, there should be nothing wrong with having a basic attack. Also its useful for the longer dungeons.

>>53450514 >>53450581 >Would you prefer the return of basic attack or just keep Moves as the only attacking option outside of items? The return of basic attack but make it actually do some damage, though obviously a low damage and some drawback to encourage using moves such as using extra hunger to use basic attack or something.
I just don't like hauling around a gorillion elixirs.
Anyways, some updates on Adventure Squad playthrough!

I get that its a Mystery Dungeon and its "muh plot" and all...
But why the heck is there a random chocolate bar just lying on the floor out in the open here? And why is it so huge??? Its as big as the protag mon here.

>>53450608 Lmao, now the Pokemon are getting into a big fight...over a chocolate bar.
I mean, sure, its a special magical treat because no mon knows how to actually make that stuff but man.
Imagine some human turned pokemon comes along that knows how to make all this stuff. I mean hell I probably could if I could source the materials, I watched a neat video from that "How to make everything" youtuber on making chocolate from scratch.

>If you die on a dungeon... do you reset and reload or do you accept the loss and continue? (or do you have someone to rescue you, which is unlikely) I haven't died in a dungeon in a while. Usually I just accept the loss unless it was one where for some reason I brought a lot of items in or I was really really close to the end. Not as much a problem now, but when I was little I packed like a page and a half of stuff so it happened a lot.
>Out of all the starters on all the games, which among them is likely a /vp/ anon (that isn't munchlax) Assuming we're discounting the multiple Fire starters that are already here (alongside the grass/water ones), Machop seems pretty likely. I don't know why, I've just got a feeling.
>Let's say you became a birdmon but you're afraid of heights. What will you do on this predicament? Just walk lol. That, or slowly get used to flying by learning it with someone I know and trust.
>Would you prefer the return of basic attack or just keep Moves as the only attacking option outside of items? Basic attacks please, I like options.
>What will your pokemon and partner, if any, be doing during this dungeon adventure. Just rough ideas at least. I'm almost tempted to say my pair would stay at home tending to the treasury but I highly doubt it. Maybe if they were tired from other adventures, but that wouldn't happen for ages. I think both Natu and Charmander would come along, with Natu managing loot and Charmander just being enthusiastic about the whole idea. Would probably try and take the opportunity to get past her previous social anxieties by chatting it up with other humons- I assume she'd still be a little withdrawn unless forced into a big group situation like this.

>>53450581 >spoiler Thinking a bit more on this too, responding to my own post here. Some easy-going bants or something seems reasonable, and I think would develop the characters a bit. Shows how they act more natural and more relaxed around each other, but around others in general they're perhaps more, reserved in one case and lacking confidence/timid in the case of the other. Builds up that rapport between them and showing that they're more than just some 1 dimensional characters that "oh this is how their personalities are ALL the time". I've never liked that sort of thing as that's not how the real-world is, but from the perspective of a reader we only see what's been posted.
Though considering the whole thing a bit kek;
>The adventures of two fucking weirdos lost out in the woods At least I find something like that relatable personally, but God that must look so fucking strange if some random pokemon just stumbled upon these two weirdos out in the middle of nowhere like that.
I'm drawing a blank at thinking up anything in depth right now, but it'd be nice to develop the characters a bit more or something idk.
I just worry about posting something dumb or lackluster when there are so many better writers in the thread kek. Anonymous
>>53450639 Anon...They don't know any better. There is no industrial society that creates and develops such luxury goods or anything for them to know any sort of difference from. Hell that single chocolate bar is either magically created or some sort of relic from when humans were around (sorta like Pikmin with how it hasn't rotted I guess). You could give them dollar store junk chocolate that we all hate and they'd think it would be some sort of heavenly treat lmao. Imagine giving them something actually good after having them try out that garbage first.

>>53450608 >>53450613 >>53450800 >>53450893 This just reinforces my suspicions about how Pokemon (at least in PMD) have the maturity level of a more responsible than average child. This is why they only really live in tribal existences (sans in Super but that's a weird game), because they just are not ambitious enough or have the foresight for things like public utilities or government.
This is probably why humans get isekied so little to pmd, and then only children really do. Anyone with any inkling of how economies or trade works would rule the Pokemon world in short order.

Hopefully Clover guild will have simple desires like 'being comfy' and 'dungeneering lol' rather than touch things like trade or politics.,,

...Reading KFC-anon's guide to Aura has me thinking of it as a pre-scientific description of Infinity Energy, which is a good way to clear the clusterfuck the Anime and "reboot" movies made of the ostensibly Fighting-type energy format.

>>53451325 >If we all got transported to the PMD world and set-up even a single farm for the sole purpose of farming Perfect Apples, we’d all be gods in their eyes. Oh also, fun fact. How fruit trees and the like work irl is that you graft the fruit-bearing branch of the tree onto a tree of a similar species that can take it, and this is the most common method of propagating "fruit trees".
Literally all you would have to do is something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTtXmBVsolY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting On a local nearby tree and before long you have your own little Perfect Apple orchid.
>There are historical records of grating trees dating back to over 2500 years ago in Ancient China and Mesopotamia. Fruit trees like olives, grapes and figs were widely available in different varieties. That not a single pokemon has figure this out in however long they've been around, where humans have know about this for THOUSANDS of years goes to show that even the most basic of methods would dramatically change their society and improve a lot of their standards of living.
Heck, what about basic medicine? Sure They have magical stuff like heal seeds and heal pulse and whatnot.
But what if a pokemon gets sick? Like with something actually serious, say they get a bad flu or something? We already know from pokerus being a thing that disease does exist in the pokemon world (as well as the over various references to disease)
Imagine if someone with a basic knowhow of how to produce basic antibiotics such as penicillin and how to apply them wound up in the PMD world?
And on and on. Another example is how we don't see much in the way of metalworking or smithys or anything either. Imagine how much things would change for them if you introduced basic smelted metals such as even just copper or bronze into the world?

>>53451405 Yeah the implications of what would happen in these scenarios is always interesting to think about due to what
>>53451090 said about PMD’s tribalistic nature and how rapidly that would change the second you introduce a bit of technology or more broader thinking into the picture. Of course, whenever these sorts of discussions occur with my few friends who like the games as well, the topics unfortunately devolve from that point and it stops being fun.

>>53451452 It is admittedly difficult to get in the mindset of borderline tribal unga bunga pokemons from a standpoint of a modern society where technology is a constant part of our everyday lives.
An interesting thought experiment though. But yeah, it is something I would love to see explored in depth or something, what would happen if human technology ever so slowly found its way into the PMD world thanks to autists that memorized how to create and use the stuff.
Even just basic survival skill stuff, I have a suspicion that, because there are a lot of fire types or those that use fire type moves, knowing how to create fire yourself really never occurred to pokemon. Which can lead to some bad scenarios when you're stranded somewhere cold and miserable without a fire type.
Now along comes a human-turned-pokemon that knows how to identify flint or some other method of creating fire by hand, and saves their sorry ass.
I have this very quaint mental image of just a bunch of awe struck pokemon with the, as mentioned, more child-like mentality just following around some human-turned-pokemon all the time because they can do neat basic survival stuff like...create fire by striking two shiny rocks together, kek.
It does kinda remind me of Pikmin a bit describing this (if you've ever played those games and read into the character's writings and thoughts in game, particularly the first one), and I think something like that would turn out a lot better for the PMD world than some sperglord trying to rule the world or some dumb shit like that imo.

>>53451536 I wouldn't sell the mons that short. They're at least advanced enough to form permanent settlements and build houses and all that jazz, and from what I recall in Super, create books and operate ancient(?) technology.
They're certainly no savages, at least.
Ribombee-anon
Judging by the talk in this thread, seems like quite a few people see the PMD world as super primitive and dumb. I never felt that way. I always saw it as more like a medieval-level society, judging by the towns and occupations they have. And I imagine they must have things like metalworking and agriculture, even if we don't explicitly see it in the games.
>>53450557 >>53451373 I think the moves look good.
Admittedly, I haven't been following your work, because I'm totally clueless when it comes to emulators and romhacks. But now that you're implementing Ribombee, you have my attention.
Anonymous
>>53451541 Yeah, with fire types.
>>53451595 Super is canonically set some time after the events of the previous games though, who's to say the human-turned-pokemon didn't have something to do with advancing things? afaik the implications were that they all stuck around too in the Pokemon world.

>>53451536 I've been wondering how an industrial revolution would even play out in a PMD setting. IRL the textile industry played a large role, but what kind of manufactured goods would Pokemon even want? They don't wear clothes, and how would you mass produce clothes that fit enough Pokemon to make the technology profitable?

Anonymous
>>53451722 I actually really dont think industrialization would happen in a PMD world. Assuming anons intervened, the advancements would only last a few generations AT MOST because, again, the mentality of Pokemon is different from that of a human. No one wants to be the schmuck who has to work the factory line to keep things going, and there is plenty of wild space for Pokemon to move two if they needed to. Meaning no cheap pool of labor to draw from.
Social mobility also probably isnt a thing, as your job is mostly determined by your type (if your born a water type you'll die a water type, with a few exceptions of course)

https://rentry.org/xt6xx What a banger that one was! Well written and super funny. I always listen to fitting music when reading PMDG stories, so I was listening to jihad music when they entered the cave (I know, it's autistic).
But then when the fight started you provided your own youtube link which I was very happy about. I fucking died laughing reading them fight the taliban with arabic pokémon music going. Absolute GOLD.
Anyway, this story actually made me learn new muslim/arab(?) words I didn't know existed, you clearly did your research. Also cool that the taliban protested that they weren't "daesh", many don't know the difference.
Also, I love Kaiji and Kris, they make an awesome dynamic.

When at the guild, he is wearing a capelet with a Friend Bow on his left chest since he refused to wear it over his head, he made it into something like a boutonnière. The Clover Guild badge is smaller than the friend bow so that it can be placed nearly top of it. At the right side, there's a bag, similar design to a treasure bag with a gold ring chained behind the bag (hidden).

Imagine the Explorers characters doing anything of that sort and how Chatot would react.

>>53452441 Thank you habibi, when I saw a thread about Dajjal on /x/ a couple years ago it was a rabbithole I eagerly fell down, the rest I learned through cultural osmosis from a combination of shitposting and geopolitics.
I came up with the premise about a year ago when I was using the random Pokémon generator on different character ideas I had to decide what they'd end up as and "Human who tries to convert the Pokémon world into Christianity" eventually mutated into "Mujahideen" and I rolled a Gothorita for it, leading to much laughter.
As for the music, it's always something I've done with my writing, the vast majority of my ideas I come up with while pacing around listening to music, so it's only natural it's all accompanied by the music that spawned it - half of my ideas started with the question "what kind of character/dungeon/story moment would fit this song?" and sometimes get tweaked further to more closely match they lyrics or context of the song so they fit together better. I already have the music picked out for the final fights against side characters I haven't even introduced yet, and have been fervently debating the soundtrack for my next story in my head.
Speaking of my next story (after the shorter McWagie Numel shitpost one I'm writing first), if you're a fan of Kaiji and Kris, it'll be a bit more serious in tone and get into both of their backstories, though it'll be only the tip of the iceberg for either of them.

I think that a mystery dungeon team would be stronger (using anime logic). The average mystery dungeon team is fighting dozens of pokemon per day and sometimes might be out numbered. On the other hand how many pokemon is a champion (in the anime) realistically fighting a day? 10? 20? and even then it is almost always a fair match up 1v1 or 2v2.

>>53456158 I like stories in games, but I play games to play games, if a story was all I cared about I wouldn't be playing games. So the story shouldn't come at the expense of the gameplay. Unfortunately that's exactly what they did in Explorers (and Gates to Infinity to a lesser extent). Trying to replay it without once you know the story is an awful experience because you're forced to sit through the dialogue for 20 hours, and the story isn't even that good outside of some specific parts, the best thing about it is that it's long and, again, that harms the gameplay. It's immersive, but it only really works on a first playthrough.
>AS is the most hated Most of the hate comes from people who know next to nothing about it, and there is a significant overlap with the idiots who only played Explorers because they heard it had the best story and then decided to never give any of the other games a chance. Things have been slowly changing for the better since the remake released and more people are realizing they should at the very least give the other games a chance, but PMD fans were in a really bad state in the mid to late 2010s.

>>53456651 >>53456663 The rentry thing was me trying to be a lot smarter than I actually am.
When I first read the rentry editting guide, I thought it would let me run python scripts within the page. So I thought it would be easy to just create a script then have users enter the information which would be stored as variables in a dataframe which I could use to edit the rentry page.
However, rentry just stores a webpage as a giant text file. When I run the rentry library on my IDE it just stores the entire webpage as a massive string. Meaning I would have to manually read the page line by line and pull out the data I need then rebuild the string from scratch which would be used to overwrite the rentry page. This is much easier said than done because of the weird formatting rentry uses to make tables and titles and such.
It is infinitely easier to just enter info manually.

Come to think of Skiddo's rentry info is pretty blank, so I guess I should put to pen the character idea I have for him. Admittedly he's a self insert, and in multiplayer games with a logistical or transportation element I always end up doing logi because few people do it, hence Skiddo's job as a transportation. He'd also do things like make sure to pack extra odd's and ends (because no one else will) for when the team needs it. That seems a bit ramble-y, I'll organize my thoughts later. Anonymous

>>53457873 My main concern is writing style. I want the story to have a consistent style, which is hard with multiple writers. I also don't want to butcher any of the characters.
But right now I think we should just focus on the outline, then do your idea. After the first draft, we can have a discussion and fix what needs to be fixed.

>>53457900 The other reason I wanted to do this as a collaborative writing project is because I really wanted to expand on the worldbuilding/lore. The issue is I would feel like a massive dick (and it would be unfair) if I just wrote a bunch lore without any input from anyone else in the thread. It's also the reason I kept "An expedition report" very vague.
Phanpy-anon
>>53457900 My biggest concern with just picking one writer is making sure they aren't given a huge outline that they can't finish. Picking one editor at the end feels like less work being pushed onto one person imo. But yes, we do need at least the major plot beats first.

KFC
>>53457975 That's an excellent point, so I think splitting up the work after the outline makes the most sense. Then after everyone has finished writing their part we can go back and discuss changes that need to be made to keep flow, tone, etc. consistent.

I'm worried about botching or misrepresenting someone else's characters, though. I have an idea of what your characters are like since I read your stories
which reminds me, I still need to finish writing reviews for everyone's stories , but I'm still hesitant to try it.

I was actually going to ask you about doing something with them both being tiny but I was too nervous and never worked up the courage i'm more than happy to see anybody take a shot at my characters; as long as they're not wildly off-base, I think I'd be happier to see them doing things than I would be upset that they're not portrayed properly

Ribombee-anon
>>53458355 Cool, thanks. I'll do my best to depict them right.
Got any ideas or suggestions? The best idea I could come up with is Natu and Booker need to leave their partners and go into a set of tiny tunnels, since they're the only ones that can fit. Inside, they'll face some obstacles and fight other tiny Pokemon, and at the end they'll get some item or activate something that lets the rest of the Guild progress through the main dungeon. Meanwhile, Sneasel and Smokey could do... something else, dunno. And both pairs would probably discuss their relationships with their partners in the meantime too.
>spoiler I feel you, I'm definitely no stranger to nervousness myself >>53458369 Oh. It's been so long since I took any chemistry classes, that joke flew right over my head.

>>53458508 i've not got any suggestions right now, but I'm wondering how Charmander and Sneasel would bounce off each other too. I still haven't gotten around to reading any of the newer stories (the most recent thing i've read was Sableye's History), but Sneasel's sort of similar to Alolan Meowth in that she's sort of sleazy, right? Just judging from how she spoke in The Gathering; not sure if that's still accurate.
If she's similar to Meowth in any way, you could do something with that? I've always imagined Charmander and Meowth having a kind of one-sided relationship, where Charmander is sort of suspicious of Meowth and tries to 1-up him to seem more competent/trustworthy and he just doesn't give a shit and messes with her a ton to make his job more fun. So if Sneasel comes off as similar to Charmander, there could be some kind of mini-arc about Charmander opening up and learning not to trust a book by its cover even if that cover is similar to a manual on how to build a pipe bomb or something. Could maybe soften up Sneasel as a result and make Charmander kinder to Meowth, or something.
pic related is the closest thing to a thinking charmander that I can find. Why is it that, despite having shitloads of fanart, 99% of charmander fanart is the same damn pose from the same angle doing the same thing? Bullet
>>53458585 >Spoiler Because charizard fans are (mostly ) drones, and charmander's most iconic appearance is it dying on a stump in the rain

Phanpy-anon
>>53458585 Tangentially related question, how would Charmander and Natu react to meeting Phanpy's team in the tavern? I'm trying to cameo some anonmons as part of Phanpy's team arriving in Capim Town. Totodile would probably be the one to break the ice, since Cyndaquil already has a scene mostly written out.
Sorry Audio My plan is for the group to get rambunctious enough that the police are called.
Ribombee-anon
>>53458585 I wouldn't really call her sleazy. I've been trying to write her as sort of sassy and brash, and somewhat obsessed with fighting and getting stronger, but still a good person deep down.
Based on your stories and personality blurb, Smokey seems very peppy and optimistic, and also goofy too. I think Sneasel would get irritated by that, and think Smokey isn't taking things seriously. And Smokey could think Sneasel's a jerk, in return.
In the end, they'd reconcile somehow. So Smokey could learn not to judge a book by its cover, like you said, by realizing Sneasel is actually a good person. Meanwhile, Sneasel could learn to lighten up and take it easy instead of being so focused on training and getting stronger. I think that could work.
Next I'll have to consider how Booker and Natu play off each other.

>>53458585 I have some Squirtle and Charmander images of you want some
Anonymous
>>53458716 fair enough
I'll post one of very few arts with it in an interesting pose
>>53458717 Natu would probably be immediately disgusted because telepathy and Cyndaquil are a match that should've never been made, Charmander would probably still force herself to try and be open regardless. If Natu warned her once or twice she'd probably stay away though. Phanpy-anon himself would probably have similar reactions, though Natu would definitely be more concerned/confused in Phanpy's case (Concerned for Phanpy's safety, confused as to why he's Cyndaquil's partner)
I'm more concerned with how Cyndaquil would react to Charmander considering the gender difference lmfao Anonymous
>>53458739 Ah, alright, my bad for misreading. Smokey would probably admire a goal like that, and you've hit the nail on the head otherwise. The goofiness isn't super pronounced, but pops up if Charmander's in a good mood (otherwise it's sarcasm).
