This was a cute read, I think your use of symbols is pretty unique and adds a lot of character to your dialogue. It's obvious Eliza's a super cutie. Also your text divider was really nice looking too lol.

Max sheen, of course. Wouldn't live up to the original character concept that evolved into Louis if she didn't have it. The bit about her landing and riding on his head is going to have a payoff when she evolves.

The text divider is intended to be a bit of an interface thing, too, since you noticed it. That's his on-hand roster.

But yeah, I'm of the opinion that symbols and such can add a lot of tone that you otherwise wouldn't get in written work.

WAIT Alex has a crush on Alto right? Not Tesoro, changing my answer to him instead. Also just read all the poems Alex wrote and they were really cool, I loved the formatting on some of them, thought that was really cool. Edgy poetry is also such a perfect medium to express Alex to us too, so kudos on that.

>Thread Question: What are your OC's survival skills (or just any skills)?
For skills in general it's just fighting, understanding the inner machinations of Infinity Energy (which at this point is just the Pokemon equivalent of being a mage, so basically she's just a prodigal mage), cooking and 1-2 music related things in the form of singing and guitars. In the way of survival skills she's basically got it all from how she'd spend weeks at a time out of the house as a child ever since she got Mawlie on her 8th birthday. She frequently was in either Pinwheel Forest or the deserts around Relic Castle. Urban survival skills obviously came from also being born and raised in Castelia City. She was just constantly pushing herself to develop the skills to eventually go on a Pokemon Journey just for said Journey to find her instead in the form of Team Plasma.
>Draw Task: Draw your OC in the streets of Lumiose City.
You get AIslop unfortunately.
>Writing task that was too good not to repost: Write a description of another anon's character from your OC's view, but don't include their name in it.
Slight spoiler in the way of describing the personality of what will be her upcoming main antagonist as to draw a comparison to said antagonist to someone here in /tog/ "Spiteful, spoiled brat. Got his head at least 3 feet up his own ass at all times. Never satisfied with anything. Thinks he deserves more than he has, thinks he can sneer at people like me and get away with it-- and for the record; they can't. I can't fucking stand how alike that psycho in the Collective and that utter PUTZ of a boy are. Thank fucking god I never ended up a spoiled rotten rich brat like him."
>Writng task: Your OC has gotten lost navigating a maze. How are they going to get out?
Emily would either smash her way out or do that trick where she basically scans her surroundings and mentally maps it like she did in Ch. 2 and find the way out if it's just a simple maze.

Had this idea for a long time of a model/idol who uses poison types - like Muk, Weezing, and Garbadour. She keeps up a perfect and proper veneer for the media with a heavily sanitized persona but underneath it all wants to cut loose and let go. She sneaks around away from the tabloids to clubs and underground battle facilities for places she can let go and not have to keep up appearances.

She's sweet, charming, and demure, and a cunning master of navigating social situations. But when she's actually battling she's loud, boisterous, and a little unhinged. Fighting style is that she bumrushes people with high power moves with very little regard for self preservation. No retreat, no surrender, and if things get dicey you just Self-Destruct.

She's really affectionate with her Pokemon despite them being stinking rancid toxic waste monsters. They're her friends and she sees herself in them. They don't have to pretend to be something they're not, and she really likes that honesty about them.

Don't have an idea for a look yet but I was thinking a white collared sweater and leggings. Don't have a name either.

For thread question - survival skills are nil. She's a city girl through and through. Though I guess she's good at surviving in that kind of environment.

>Draw your OC in the streets of Lumiose City
In a city with as much history as Lumiose, it is commonly believed, accepted even, that not every archway leads to the same destination twice. Anyone who has wandered through the cobblestone avenues of the city can attest to the strange sense of déjà vu that permeates the crown jewel of Kalos, where it might take one, two, or even three passes to reach your destination even if you knew exactly where to go and how to get there.
Those who get hopelessly lost might eventually and through great misfortune find their way to some unremarkable dark alley or long-forgotten park where their paths cross with a tall and lanky fellow. The boogeyman that haunts every boulevard: Black Jacques, the world's most untrustworthy tour guide.

>ivy's type

Gotta keep your page breaks appropriate for the setting you're writing imho. I'll probably change the color for his party to cyan when I post the actual story on Ao3, just so I can include the parties of anyone traveling with him too.

>>57485926
See >>57484575 for a bit of my answer. It can even be described as a 'funny background event', depending on how you like to write it. I know I'm writing most of Louis' team having various... Quirks of personality. Like, Eliza's a sparkle-headed zubat. Nueve, an Alolan Sandshrew of all things, is overconfident and uses snowscape at every opportunity. One of the next ones he'll get is a voracious boy and will try to eat everything, including and especially poisonous stuff.

If you're going all in on writing a pokemon trainer, I feel like you should include some of their team's interplay and general 'existing' outside of being a narrative tool. It also lets you fluff up your word count.

Yeah the first one is ostensibly Phos but I have no idea how you came to the conclusion of the cultist. The other one was Ivy and I’m surprised that nobody caught onto it yet. Second one is completely correct. Gene is close but no cigar. I don’t really know of anything has actually been revealed about him besides the fact that he works with rich people a lot and is paranoid about being kidnapped.

Well it couldn't be Ivy because she doesn't have a grudge and you said she looked poor. The only other character who

Ah, I get it! Either of Gene's 3D counterparts Cain or Grey. Probably Grey because his eyes are in the same hemisphere.

Ivy’s grudge is against the Nurse Joys, and she looks poor because of all of the tears on her jeans shorts and shirt. In a similar fashion to Phos Alex questions where she ordered it because while the clothes look used he’s also not sure what kind of stores sell that stuff.
>close but no cigar
I just gave out the answer to the last one. Cain has way too much emotional baggage and also looks Chinese. Grey is well, a grey area, I don’t know how much Alex would like him physically but Alex would probably stay away from him other based on his distrust of legendaries due to their consistent abuse by evil teams, and assuming that religious beliefs still exist outside of isolated groups like the Draconids, holds them in no special regard.

Hello everyone, I'm back with more content.

Pic related is Colt, leader of the bad guy team Team Dust. Colt is a very practical man. He has no goals of world domination or destruction, he just wants to be free and have fun. Those things both require a lot of money, though, and he's figured out the quickest way to get a lot of money is to simply do bad things and be stronger or smarter than the cops. I'm knocking around the idea of him being related to Professor Cypress, but I don't know yet. If someone offered him a big enough sack of cash, he'd probably up and quit crime altogether.

My buddy, the architect of the Aurelia region, has an evil team whose goals are based around completely obliterating nature and mechanizing everything. That sounded like a pretty lofty goal to me, so I wanted to do the opposite and make a more small-scale team like Rocket or Skull.

Colt's ace Pokemon is Howlance, the Fang Pokemon. I'm a little iffy on the name and type. I was picturing it as a pure dark, which makes it really similar to Mightyena. It also looks a lot like Lycanroc to me, which is a little frustrating. I'd love some outside opinions on the design.

Considering he is a guy who only wants money to enjoy life, I can see him being a desperado, robbing people with a crew or hunting men for rewards as long as he gets paid, hypocrisy be damned.
Maybe he is not "evil team" material, but he can be some sort of rival/major side character that eventually grows up, realizing peace is not inside a big bag of money, but in a place where you can rest your head without having to double check every step.

I had an idea in my head that eventually he'd just buy a master ball and catch a box legendary so he could become the region's champion and essentially do whatever he wanted with impunity. I thought it would be funny to have a situation where someone purchases a master ball but the player isn't allowed to.

Mustache looked weird, I think I made his face too youthful to make it look right. Go Nagai-style sideburns look pretty good though.

>fancy jewelry bolo tie
Now that I'm thinking about it, his whole endgame goal with gaining money could be for the Master Ball thing I mentioned earlier. I added the patches on his pants to sort-of imply he's not spending a lot of money if he doesn't have to.

>>57490217
Did some thinking and I think Alphang (alpha wolf + fang) might work better as a name. I also added some shit to the back legs to make them a little more interesting. I'd give it a bigger tail but that just makes it look more like Lycanroc, which I'm trying to avoid.

I remember it had a more rudimentary system of what you did here with several reactions based on responses and a few special reactions based on characters. I don’t think anyone else did something like that at the time, you’re the first person I’ve seen to make something like it. Also to this day it’s still the most viewed Pastebin and I’m not sure why.

Same. A little school shooter slam poetry will put me right out, I'm sure.
>how much was this based on Alex’s Interview
Not very much. Yours had specific conversations for specific characters, which was much more involved and complex, this is much more loose by comparison. It's a "you know what you want to do better than I do and we're all on an equal playing field with the supporting cast, so just wing it" sort of deal. I mean, I guess if I had to make untrue comparisons, it would be Frankensteining Raphael, Alex, and Luke's interviews together.
But by that same logic, I can tattle on myself for plagiarism--every single word that appears in that text was copied from another book.
Perhaps you've heard of the dictionary.

Well, it's been a ROUGH one, /tog/. College keeps fucking me and leaving me with little time for some proper writing, plus there's been some shit going on in my life I'd rather not talk about. Nevertheless, I find myself in need of a creative outlet, so I might as well stick around for longer even if it's only to answer the thread prompts.

>Thread question
Merry doesn't remember the last time she spent on the wilderness, so it's safe to say her survival skills are close to none. On the other hand, she's always been cautious around Pokemon, so even if she gets lost in the forest she still has enough common sense to not panic when encountering an unfamiliar creature.
>Writing task
Merry prefers to stick to what works, so if she'd found herself lost in a maze she likely wouldn't get any more creative than the old "follow the wall" technique. That being said, if she's allowed to chear by using her Pokemon, she at least has a Magnemite that can float overhead and signal where to go.
>the other writing task
This one seems super interesting but also lengthy so I'll get to it tomorrow, promise.

Also damn, we doing full-blown Fakemon now? Neat.

The hardest part is I never came up with a full team for her. She’s more contest-oriented than a battler, so I need her to have a few NFEs. Oricorio is clearly her ace, and I want her to have a Larvesta that would eventually evolve, but I need to fill spots for a “puppy-like” Pokémon. Growlithe is a good fit, and I kinda want her to have a Fuecoco too, but that might be too redundant if I give her one of the Charcadets. Ceruledge is the better fit for a Pokémon a dancer would use, since Armarouge is a bit too stiff as a cannon guy, but that’s gonna be two Fire/Ghost types.

Definite picks:
>Oricorio
>Larvesta
>Capsakid

Candidates for consideration:
>Ceruledge
>Fuecoco
>Growlithe
>Ninetales
>Salazzle
>Torkoal
>Torchic line?
>Flareon
>Rapidash
>Fire Breed Tauros

Oh shit, Tauros should probably be a definitive one, yeah. If you want to add some recommendations, please remember I don’t care about Smogon AT ALL for this, even less than I would for Koa, which is like, not at all lmao

Instead of Fuecoco, why not consider playing against type by giving her the dancing duck? If you're adamant about the Fire typing, I'd say go for a Torchic with Feather Dance but then it raises the question of where she got a Torchic from. An ex-boyfriend? Should be fun for you.

I don’t know if you need everything spelled out like an elementary schooler or if you just genuinely don’t understand the concept that some Pokemon are just naturally stronger than others.

Archivist doesn’t use BST in his writing which is how you get shit like a Malamar beating an Iron Valiant but for the sake of saving time he used it as a proxy for strength here, but BST is never actually mentioned in the storyline he’s made, it’s something meant to help the READER when writing a response. A Hippopowdon is a slow, fat, lumbering piece of shit, it’s BST reflects that, but even if you don’t use BST you would probably still want to depict it as such because it just LOOKS like a slow, lumbering, fat piece of shit. Going back to the Skiploom example, do you *really* think that thing could beat a Blazkien? One is a valiant martial artist, fully evolved, and the other is some forgettable flower creature that isn’t fully evolved and has no real combat-inclined tendencies. Surprise surprise, one has a much higher BST than the other.

Some Pokemon are at a face value just apparently stronger than others. You’re not going to seriously tell me that a puny little Jigglypuff can do anything to a Naganadel, regardless of whether BST is counted or not. One is a cute little pink blob and the other is a poisonous alien dragon bee of DEATH.

Then again, you pitted Kyreum-White against a Mawile and had the Mawile win, where any reasonable person would have had it get deleted by Der Flammenwerfer, so maybe you do just genuinely believe that “anything can beat anything” and all of this is just talking to a wall. So I’m just going to summarize

>BST isn’t LITERALLY used or mentioned in the writing, “in-universe”. It’s just used as a general guideline for how strong a Pokemon would be perceived as, and the responses go off of that. You do not have to explicitly mention BST unless you wish to.
>Some Pokemon are just meant to be strong or weak.

Personally I like making full teams, but I think Ceniza might work better with less. After all, she lives by herself in an apartment in Mesagoza and she can’t raise all that many on a small wage, or have really big Pokémon in a cramped space.

I like the idea of that Torchic, I’ll find a nice way to tie that in. The thing is, I don’t want to miss out on Pokémon that would be pretty cool with the theme. Fuecoco (eventually Skeledirge) would add to her contest performances by singing, Ceruledge would do some Swords Dance stuff, Tauros is very emblematic to Spain Paldea, and I kinda like the idea of having a puppy like Growlithe following her around. Plus, I kinda have to emphasise that she’s a Naranja alumni (alumnus? Is that the term?). But maybe keeping it small works better.

Why am I being dragged into this? I wasn't even gonna write anything for this. I'd likely chalk up enough tally marks for the guy to not bother battling her and otherwise it doesn't really look like an interesting prompt to me. Especially since Emily's BEEN to Lumiose before.

I mean, the anime had Pikachu beating or facing legendaries a few times when it probably shouldn’t. Ash’s Pikachu is just built different, or has trained enough to get to that point. I’m sure a level 100 Butterfree could face a level 50 legendary and come out on top. And on a story level, there is such a thing as an underdog story. Everyone loves rooting for the underdog and cheering for an upset, from what I understand.

That said, you’re right. The usage of BST in this prompt is just a guideline for points and it doesn’t force you to change how you write the fight, if your OC would stack 4 points, whatsoever.

Thank you for demonstrating that you have the attention span and reading comprehension of the average black teenager in high school. Part of me wants to believe that this is Emily pretending to be someone else and part of me is trying to process the fact that we might have found someone even more retarded than Emily.

As I outlined here >>57493689, I’m opposed to in-game logic for writing battles for purely narrative reasons. I don’t want outcomes to be determined by external factors rather than who, in my head, should win the fight to make the story more satisfying. I trust my own common sense, but I also want to recognise that a Pokémon isn’t entirely determined by its species. Training, moves and the circumstances of the moment can turn the tide of battle.

I would write fights thinking of both Pokémon as individual characters with different abilities. Strength of character is also really important in a fight, which is why I don’t really want to do what you’ve recommended to me once or twice of having Koa get a Frigibax in the middle of the plot, have it level up super fast over the course of a story that should span a few months at most, and then have it replace Hula the Milotic against Hemlock’s team, because Hula is too kind-hearted or something. I kinda want to introduce that Frigibax egg with that Paldean dragon clan ambassador character, which was a pretty cool idea, but it’ll probably stay a Frigibax because Hula wouldn’t drop out of the final battle like that. Hula is Koa’s aquatic transport and the “mage” of the team, to a degree, but she’s a badass in her own right. She can handle a battle with tough opponents and take her own spotlight if needed. Every member of Koa’s team should have a chance to shine, within reason.

Also, I kinda disagree with writing in the game-y elements of battle like raised (and especially lowered) stats. So what, a random trainer’s Pikipek uses Growl and now Mo-o hits less hard for some reason? Nah, in-universe that would be different. Growl would probably be some kind of intimidation tactic, which might not even work on stronger or larger Pokémon. Same thing with moves like Baby-Doll Eyes, for example. The enemy would probably lower their guard after seeing that.

I don't know shit about what goes on in people's heads but at this point I assumed his issue was the use of BST as a criteria for the tally mark system specifically since it partially shapes what kind of action the guy giving the dialogue would take. I personally don't care cause I wasn't gonna write anything for it anyway. I can already tell that even without the BST stuff that Emily would fall into the <5 category and nothing interesting would happen. Very boring.

The idea is so boring the captcha basically agrees with me

Yeah, I made a post earlier talking about this. Some people here, me included, prefer not to reference game mechanics when writing battles. Alexanon does like game-style battles and using Smogon-esque teambuilding, which is okay for him to do, but I think the collective frustration’s grown from the fact that sometimes Alexanon will criticise others for writing characters with competitively unoptimised teams, or recommending people write things the way he’d do it when they’d rather do things their way, and I think he was going to write a guide on how to write OCs with competitively viable teams. I’m not saying this to spite him or anything, because I’m happy to get any ideas at all, but those conversations have happened before.

Now, specifically, BST was referenced in this prompt. It’s a very nice prompt, and I think people jumped to conclusions here. BST is referenced as part of something in the prompt that would translate to your character obtaining or subtracting points that add to a tally mark, which eventually determines which ending your character gets. Some people outright refused to write their takes on this prompt because of this, which I find to be an overreaction. The endings simply determine whether Jacques battles you or not, with which team, or whether he brings in back-up to jump you. Nothing in the prompt asks you to write this battle like if it were a Showdown battle log.

It’s okay to go over the subject again, but always with respect. Let’s not make a dumb argument about it.

Ok then hear me out on this. What if, and I really mean it what if, you took it as a suggestion, and prepare for this one, as to how the battle would go in an immersive manner!

Nobody is forcing you to adhere to calculations like the Bible, all narrative weight be damned. It's there to keep the setting itself more grounded to its preestablished set of rules so you have less and less of the anime-esque bullshit going on. Think of it as an advisor's suggestions, to which you gauge how closely you want to follow it or not.

Eh, the problem is I’m going to ignore most of those suggestions if it would get in the way of the flow of the narrative. I can have common sense of my own and not write a random Cutiefly beating Necrozma, but this is a written story and not a Showdown log. If you read the rest of my post, you’ll understand what I mean a bit more. For me, stories have different rules. My approach isn’t 100% mutually exclusive with game elements, anyway. Pokémon have their moves, their abilities, heck, I can probably fit critical hits in there somehow! But I just don’t want to, for example, do what you did at the end of Agent Orange where you directly referenced stat drops. I’d rather write that differently.

Tbh it kinda does seem like bait because that person very clearly didn’t read the document, or didn’t listen to the explanation he was given. The whole point of BST is to add a reference point and determine whether Jacques would be intimidated by a character, or whether he’d see them as easy pickings. It’s not that complex, but I’m taking the opportunity to discuss the topic once again.

I’ll say, though, that I don’t think I’ve given Alexanon enough credit for how he writes his own stuff. We may disagree, but he doesn’t have his preferences for no reason. I’d be happy to hear what his process is like and see what I can take from that into my own writing.

> Thread Question: What are your OC's survival skills (or just any skills)?
Vega has spent a long time traveling in her younger years (Ages 11-15), so she has picked up a knack for making the most out of any situation. Her first Pokémon, Fomantis, is actually a nocturnal species which makes it kind of a pain to raise while on the road. I'm sure that for a while she had a pretty degenerate sleep schedule, but it also helped her learn to travel safely at night. At least a decade after the fact I imagine that pulling all-nighters are something that she tries to avoid.
It's too bad though, since her hobby is behind-the-scenes manipulation. That sort of thing has got to keep you up late.

That aside, now there's the Jacques thing to play with too! Man, I already had an idea for a certain scenario but it turns out that Jacques is actually a nice guy, albeit sketchy. The character I had in mind would get like 1 point at most. I'll have to sleep on it.

Mine has changed over the years but the current version is a member of the race that lives on the other side of the ultra wormhole.

It’s also my first ever Ceniza write-up, so I’m adding a lot of lore and coming up with things for her on the spot that maybe weren’t there before. She’s pretty different from Koa, that’s for sure. And yeah, I guess you made it kinda easy for people to avoid the battle with Jacques, but in Ceniza’s case I came up with a really funny explanation for why he wouldn’t jump her after all. Just wait and see.

>Skills
Being a farmboy since childhood, his family taught him about nature, trappings to get small game, the edible mushrooms from some species of Paras, how to make antidotes from a Weedle's poison gland (surprisingly, it isn't on his head), which flowers are edible as well (those with primary colors are safe), how to notice when the grass grows taller (predators may be hidden), etc.
Plus, the experience adquired in his travels made him a survivalist by nature. He was very friendly with Brandon, discussing wild techniques.

I can't draw, so you get a repetition of yesterday's task, with Enide. To celebrate the return to Kalos.
Wait for me, baby! I have to meet my mother-in-law!

David would play it out like a game. If he sees a crosspath, he would mark the one he chooses. If he goes in circles, he marks it with an X (this one doesn't work). He would repeat this until finding the exit.

I've been revising my writing process, actually. I use a modified system where each Pokemon has max EVs and each Nature boost (because let's be honest, both of those things are only limited for gameplay reasons), and I use the damage calculator that way. I then add up the damage for each attack based on low rolls. When the Pokemon reaches a point that it cannot possibly survive an attack, I will have it faint, except in rare "toughed it out" plot armor moments where I need to keep a Pokemon alive. I have a vague sense of where I want to go with each battle I write, so really I just have to make the math fit the narrative. No calculations are ever shown in writing and mentions of stats are sparse so as to prevent it from feeling too LITRPGish.

The issue is that I am starting to lose faith in this system because reviewing my damage calculations sheets makes me realize that the way that I write battles would be statistically improbable as everyone is consistently getting low rolls. As much as I hate to admit it, it looks like in order to create the most believable fights, I am going to have to start doing some hard math. I am currently reviewing Black Blaze's battle sequence to see if I can make it more believable while still keeping the outline of what I had planned for it. Some options available to me are
>Alternate between the lowest and highest rolls for each attack so that it kind of averages out in a layman's sense (easiest option, but not the most mathematically accurate)
>Only ever use the actual average roll, which would essentially remove "rolls" entirely and just make it singular fixed damage numbers for attacks (this would be a pain in the ass as while it's basic division it would be tedious to do this for every single attack)
>Going hardcore game mechanics and just using RNG to determine damage output, and try to make my writing fit that (Not ideal)
>Just do what I'm doing now and hope nobody feels like the battles are dragged out

Because of her and ruka's psychic connection they can split up in opposite directions and relay to the other which path they took.

Drops petals strategically to show which paths they've already gone down. It can even color coordinate paths already taken to make it easier.
(If they're inside of a building it could use sunny day to make the light at the entrance even brighter)
>Arcanine
Uses odor sleuth to sniff their way out. Can also bark down long hallways to tell if it's a dead end by the echo.
>Azumarill
Punches the wall and then uses its big ears to hear the reverberating echoes.
>slowpoke
Sends out a tidal wave surf through the maze while Ruka rides on his back. Eventually the water flow will lead her back out through the exit.
Clefairy: basically useless in this specific situation. She'll certainly keep you entertained while you're lost together though. Maybe if it's a full moon she can float above the maze (assuming it's outdoors)
>staryu
Can probably float above the maze of its outdoors.
>Snubull
Can sniff its way out of the maze if it's not too busy biting Ruka.
>Aromatisse
Releases different scents in different parts of the maze. The faster the smell dissipates must mean there's more airflow so the fainter a smell is the more likely there's an exit.

Well… if this works for you, good. But I couldn’t fathom ever doing this, personally. I’ll have to go back and reread some of your works to check how you handle this in practice, but I feel like this opens up a lot of problems that probably wouldn’t make fights immersive, but rather robotic.

First of all, the average Showdown interaction between two attacking Pokémon that both hit each other neutrally would maybe end with a 3HKO. How does that make fights exciting to read? A fight is an exchange, a conversation. It ebbs and flows. Advantages are traded like a pendulum’s swing. You’re basically gonna end up with very short fights where the rhythm isn’t used narratively to its full effect, which is a shame. Creative fights should be kinda like puzzles, at the same time as conversations. Think of JoJo and how the main characters have to solve the problem of the enemy of the week. There’s moments where the heroes are cornered, and there’s also moments where the villain is on the ropes. Heck, think about what makes watching WWE fun! Realistically, the Undertaker should be able to knock out Mick Foley with ease. But he doesn’t! They sell the punches, blows, throws and submissions because the STRUGGLE is what makes it fun. Not knowing who’s gonna end up the winner, wanting to believe in the good guys and cheer them on, celebrating when they win, and also feeling bad for them when they lose — but at the same time, expecting their comeback with excitement.

I feel like (and please don’t take this criticism personally) you read and write these stories and calc out all these battles in your head, and if a clearly improbable scenario IN THE GAMES happens in the story to make it more exciting, it takes you out of it because you’re calcing it all out. And I’m sorry to say this, but that’s YOUR problem. You just write that way. That’s fine.

This is the biggest disconnect between roleplayers and people with aphantasia. The roleplayer understands the interface you engage with is just an abstraction of what's really going on, and that mons aren't just standing in place taking turns smacking each other. Literal minded people don't think beyond what they're seeing in front of them because they're accustomed to film and animation telling them to trust their eyes. The roleplayer knows that the Pokemon would be moving around, and that a Miltank using Rollout continues to roll between turns instead of slamming to a halt before picking up speed again.

A 3KO does not mean “exactly three attacks will be thrown at this Pokemon before it faints” since attacks can be dodged, blocked, use the terrain, etc, the trick of the battle is actually landing those three attacks.

I don’t feel like the fights I’ve written are robotic. If anything, I feel like the things that I try to add in order to make the fights feel more organic will make them feel drawn out. I did indeed add something more improbable into the mix and it feels like I’m just unnecessarily extending the fight for the sake of making it seem more br00tal. Maybe you just overdosed on shonen, I know DBZ has really drawn out fights. I can’t comment on wrestlingsloppa because I do not watch it.

Well, I don't think you have aphantasia, right? You understand the abstractions of Pokémon battles, you know what you can do to write interesting fights... so what, you just think attacks should be dictated by calcs? Call me shonen-brained, but 3 attacks to solve a whole fight is going to make a very weirdly-paced fight. DBZ fights tended to draw out because the manga and the anime were coming out at almost the same time. The anime was being made faster than the manga, so if the next chapter doesn't come out in the middle of a fight, the staff had to pad out the fight to avoid an awkward situation. That's at least a pacing issue, when you don't take those circumstances into consideration.

I don't know, maybe it's less about Showdown and more about different perspectives about writing fights. Although I still wouldn't use calcs for that personally. I'm a very visual thinker, so I write what's in my head.

Tell you what: I'm gonna write a few battles in my Jacques write-up, featuring Ceniza. When that's done, give it a read and tell me if you feel like it drags. What's the best fight you've written, in your opinion? I'll go back to it and tell you what I think.

I wanted to make a three-stage early game bug that wasn't fucking lame as hell so here we are. Larvash, Heatle, and Firalis. They're bsed on fireflies but I think I went a little abstract by the end of the evolution line. I think it looks cool hell though and fireflies are my favorite bug so it's fine. They get fucking shredded by Stealth Rocks though, since they're Bug/Fire. I'm not really sure about what ecological niche they would fulfill, but frankly most Pokemon in their natural habitats don't have meaningful niches anyway.

Honestly, it’s difficult for me to state what my favorite fight is because I have not written a fight that I’m truly proud of yet. The one that I’m writing just completely blows everything else I’ve written out of the water. I don’t enjoy the idea of “raising the bar”, but yeah, this is going to raise the bar for what I write. If you really want to read something of mine, check out Control Human Delete, but as much as I enjoyed making it, in retrospect I don’t know if I really did my best on it, even if it’s my favorite work of mine so far. I can’t really go back and edit it now regardless because it’s been out into the Omnibus. It was a challenge to try to conform my writing to the EIF style and only use diagetic music (music that the characters can hear), this is also why the lyrics are in eleven point font like in EIF episode 1 instead of eight point font like how I would do it in my writing, which in turn kind of led to my writing getting a hard to read. This is also why I did the same in Agent Orange, because your writing doesn’t have BGM, but I feel like it had better execution there due to the lyrics being easier to format based on the songs.

Speaking of CHD, for what it’s worth, the idea of a fanfic of a fanfic isn’t exactly unheard of. If you consider alternate history to be a fanfic of real world history, S.M Stirling edited and published a collection of stories titled “Drakas” based on the premise of his series The Domination.

I doubt Archivist would agree to something like this, but I think it would be a fun idea, kind of like the Jacques thing but it’s “write an adventure in a setting and have it edited” instead of “edit this adventure to write a setting”.

I think a good baseline is how recent final fantasy treats their combat. It's "essentially" still turn based but between your turn you're still able to freely move and attack as your ATB guage fills. And when your pokemon chooses a "move" it's moreso deciding a method of attack moving forward.
Like if I have Ruka's Jynx use ice punch she won't just punch the opponent once and be done with it. She coats her fists in ice and switches her fighting style to a close range boxing type style where she tries to land as many punches as she can while dodging and weaving the opponents attacks. And the way Jynx might initiate ice punch wouldn't be the same as how another pokemon might.

>the fat conductor laughed, "you are wrong."
Gamefreak puts way more care into sculpting the environment of the games than they have ever cared about how the games actually play. Nearly every single route is a picture in motion containing foundation species on up that tells the story of whatever ecosystem you're traveling through. Why is Roselia only found outside of Verdanturf? It's an indicator species denoting the area as Hoenn's cleanest habitat. Why were Farfetch'd and Lapras nearly extinct in the wild? Because they were overhunted. Why is Chimecho so rare on Mt. Chimney? It's a flimsy Psychic-Type on an island surrounded by powerful Ghost- and Dark-Types. Wurmple (foundation species) eats leaves and berries, Zigzagoon (omnivore) eats berries and Wurmple, Poochyena (mesopredator) eats Zigzagoon; that's just the first route in the game and they're all like that. And then you add fantastical elements like lithotrophs (Sableye), ferrovores (Aron), and dream eaters (Hypno, Munna, ostensibly Ralts) to the mix and you'll see just about every species has a niche that establishes its role and relationship with the world at large.

I'm not trying to get an autistic argument going here, but a lot of those are headcanon.
>Roselia
Corphish is also caught on that same route. Corphish's lore says it can live in filthy water, so as far as Pokemon ecology is concerned, there's just as much saying that area is unclean as it is clean. The point about it being clean is backed up by NPCs, but that's got nothing to do with the Pokemon present.
>Farfetch'd
I'm assuming we're just talking Kanto. It shows up on Routes 12 and 13, where it's as rare as Weepinbell and Slowbro (5%). Weepinbell and Slowbro not none for being particularly rare.
>Lapras
Again, assuming Kanto, they're not even rare there's simply only one at all in the region. That's not really a Pokemon having an ecological role to play, that's something just not existing in nature anymore.
>Chimecho
I don't really have a better answer for this one, but at the same time there's nothing in its lore that would make it make sense for it to be there anyway. It's not tied to spiritualism or ghosts or legends or anything particularly related to Mt. Pyre.
>Wumple
Sure
>Zigzagoon
I think this is just headcanon, I don't see its diet listed in any dex entries.
>Poochyena
They're explicitly mentioned to be omnivores, so no complaints there. The encounter rates are kind of interesting for those as well, but I guess I don't know enough about food chain distribution to make a meaningful point about that.
I'm all for trying to make more out of the franchise, but I think it's a little dishonest to rationalize decisions made by players as intent from the company. I think a lot of where Pokemon are in the games comes down to game balance before aesthetics, with anything that hits both being a nice bonus.

Reread that, please. "You're right because you picked up on all the context clues provided in-game, but the context clues doesn't mean you're right."
>they're not even rare there's simply only one at all in the region
Because they were hunted to near extinction. The fact that it was hunted at all speaks to its role in the ecosystem.
>I think this is just headcanon, I don't see its diet listed in any dex entries.
Riddle me this: what do raccoons eat IRL when they're not digging through trash? Are we to assume any Pokemon that doesn't get a food source mentioned in its two sentence dex blurb just photosynthesizes instead?

I'm basing my opinions on the game's ecology based off the stated information in the game. I could assume that it was a masterpiece of subtle storytelling that Tangela as a species really like being trapped on little islands only accessible with surf since it happens in both Gens 1 and 2, but I just don't think it's that deep. Food chains aren't really a part of Pokemon canon, it's all nudges and winks and pretending things stated in Gen 1 never happened. I think the games would be better if these questions were just answered, like SV saying outright that humans do eat Pokemon.

Whoa. That's a lot more seaweed than I thought there would be.
Distant common ancestry, perhaps. Tangela went onto dry land to avoid the dangers of the ocean while Dhelmise was nothing more than another food source until it started weaponizing giant rusty anchors. Or maybe Dhelmise returned to the sea in pursuit of more abundant nutrient sources (Wailord) ironically like cetaceans evolving from land-dwelling mammals.

>So what, a random trainer’s Pikipek uses Growl and now Mo-o hits less hard for some reason?
It works if you imagine it less as a literal growl and more as a Vicious Mockery type spell that's encoded within a growl. Reposting this one thing that I posted a few threads ago

Likewise, Taunt is less of an insult and more of a disruptive force that just flat out cancels your ability to use Status, like how Vicious Mockery imbues psychic damage into an insult. Which is why you lose your ability to Screech, but not your ability to screech. Something like
>"Scare it off before it starts to Dragon Dance! Use Screech!"
>Annihilape took a deep breath. The opposing Trainer muttered something under his breath. suddenly, the Paleomence's beastly bellicose disposition suddenly turned to one of vicious mockery, as it bared its sharp teeth into a hideous grin, turned over its left claw, and repeatedly dug it up towards itself, beckoning Annihilape to strike it. Annihilape exhaled a hoarse breath, a far cry from its usual terrifying roars. Upon realizing what the beast had done, Annihilape's eyes surged with red hate, with its body pulsating with enraged roiling purple mist. All it could do was slam the ground and scream as its normally controlled anger came clean off of its hinges. Franco couldn't help but be startled for a split-second. This stolen specimen seemed different from the rest. All members of the species were vicious, but that Taunt gave the impression of very conscious malice. This one seemed... evil.
>"You shouldn't have done that, *boy*", Franco hissed. "Close Combat!"

Roaring Moon is a chaotic apex predator and probably doesn't understand the abstraction of what a "taunt" is. It's just executing a command when it "Taunts" much like it would summon Dragon energy into a Dragon Claw.

Ecologically, they probably contribute to overall forest health. I imagine that naturally, they'll want their larva to be in exceptionally hot spots to grow and hatch the most easily, which could mean they contribute to forest fires starting.
They've probably got a symbyosis with a
'mon that needs overgrowth gone to flourish, like how, for example wild lupine irl needs fires to clear out the taller stuff so it can get sunlight.

Design wise, I like 'em. Would Use/10, depending on the starters and coverage.

But I’ve been enjoying all the art from the last few threads I don’t even know where to begin. The Galactic grunt art, the yiyi art, the girl with the bags under her eyes(my apologies I don’t think I remember ever getting her name) the Jacque art and the Ivy in the ZA attire. The one with Jacque and Ivy was pretty cute. Shout outs to the koa art. And I’m crossing my fingers to see if there’s more to the one with Koa and his Milo. That one just looks awesome

But if there’s one thing that did bother me last thread it was the lil political stuff. Not just because of the politics but the implications I’ve gotten from reading them

That... is a very good point, actually. I forgot those remakes existed.
>megas or regional forms
My wager is on both--regional forms that can use some sort of artificial mega evolution. That way gamufreaku isn't designing a form that will probably only use in one singleplayer game if they get bored of megas again, it would answer why the original forms didn't get to have Megas in the first place, and you can still get a sense of forward progression by being able to use the new forms in genX instead of leaving them in the retirement home forever.

You might be on to something here anon. Perhaps not artificial but maybe just a different type of power boost like battle bond? It would explain many things, like Ash’s infernape, or in Pokken Pokemon that can’t mega just tend to have a glowing aura representing their types instead. Like Decidueye gets a ghostly aura with leaves floating around. It would also explain why Ash-gren got crit-Alt deleted from the anime and games. Now that surge in boost in power can be explained with battle bond.

Separate but kinda related. Nemona has a Infernape, Decidueye and Greninja depending on your starter. And she has an older sister. What are the odds she’s the one to explain the battle bond stuff to us in ZA with her(potential) greninja. But then we’d run into a brick wall…there’s no abilities in ZA

It became a meme because of Phos, and one time people started drawing their characters in crop tops. Me included.

As I write this Ceniza thing and come up with her lore and backstory in a detailed way, I can only remember just how many missed opportunities Game Freak had with cultural representation in Paldea. Spain isn’t like Hawaii, a very popular tourist destination for Japanese travellers, or the UK, where the game’s art director was born there, and it shows. They picked Spain because it’s a great place to use for your open world game — we have beaches, plains, forests, caves, cities, mountains, snow… well, maybe not bamboo forests. Honestly, why is there a random bamboo forest in that one place? Who put that there?

I also suspect that Spain’s lack of (widely known) distinct mythology aside from Catholicism is another contributing factor. Alola has a lot of Polynesian mythology thrown in with the inspirations for the Tapus, Galar has Arthurian myths for the doggos (would’ve been cool if we got a trio of lesser weapon dogs to make a kind of Round Table, desu)… we don’t really have that, historically. We were Roman once, which is probably gonna be used for an Italy region, we were half Muslim once, which would probably be saved for a more Middle Eastern region… and Christianity is a bit of a weird topic for them, I assume. Arceus exists, but the Spanish brand of Catholicism is very peculiar. I understand why they didn’t look into it.

STILL THEY SHOULD’VE CONSULTED *ME* AND HAD *ME* TELL THEM WHAT TO DO

There was a time where I had a fangame concept, years before SV. It had the Inquisition as bad guys and desu if I recontextualised it is some kind of Legends game concept it could be kinda cool, but that’s not exactly OC stuff anymore, is it?

All that said, I still love SV for what it is, all things considered.

Rant over. Time to write a little bit more, maybe, and sleep.

Spain lacks known mythology period, there is VERY little that is known about pre-Abrahamicuck religous beliefs besides the vague notion of "local Iberian, Celtiberian and Celtic religions, as well as the Greco-Roman religion". The most known stuff is regarding the Basque Country and compared to more prominent stuff like the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Sumerians, etc, there is only breadcrumbs.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_mythology
The most well known symbol of pre-Christian Spain is the Lauburu pictured here, which in some cases is also associated with other Northern Spanish ethnic groups such as the Galicians, Asturians, and apparently for some reason the Illryans of the Balkan Peninsula. I guess such a design could be worked into clothing or accessories, however, (in my opinion) this doesn't really work for Ceniza, her dark skin tone highlights her as ostensibly Southern Spanish, in contrast to the much fairer skinned people like Treasure Boy that originate from the regions/autonomous communities that I mentioned. Galicians in particular tend to have much higher rates of blond hair/blue eyes from my knowledge while Asturians just have lighter variations of the brown hair and eyes that the Spanish are known for. People like Alto would probably just be in the middle (Castilians)
All of this is a pretty long-winded way to tell you that if you're looking to incorporate pre-Christian/Mudslime invasion elements into Paldean worldbuilding, you're pretty much out of luck except for the Lauburu, and if you want to be accurate to the real world, your OC has to come from the north of Paldea and have the light features associated with those people. There really is just kind of nothing to go off of besides that. Maybe you've learned some more things about pre-Christian Spanish myths but on the internet this is about as much as the average person can access.
Idk how Paldea's government is, so I just go by the rule of a gradient slider based on south to north

I'm also curious what kind of stuff you would have liked to see in Paldea. Not just myths but maybe customs, traditions or just general things you consider typical for Spain. I like to regal people with stories if the Spanish New Year's Eve customs because I've been to a Spanish NYE party ONCE and thought they were pretty unique. Not sure if the thing about red underwear was just trolling, though.

Well, they could’ve looked into celt and Iberian stuff, sure, but what I really wanted to see was some kind of reference to our long literary history. Unova had the Three Musketeers… in America, for some reason? Could’ve fit better in Kalos, now that I think about it. Still, where’s Don Quijote? El Cid? Don Juan Tenorio? I guess that’s something that only an art director or executive producer could’ve provided.

>>57508543
The what now? Nonono, I wouldn’t give Ceniza this kind of thing. For starters, Ceniza’s based on flamenco dancers from Andalucía, in the south. That’s why she’s tan, because it’s sunny over here. Honestly, I don’t get why some people are still finding this weird. Many Spaniards — and many mediterraneans — are indeed tan. The fact that I designed her with a slightly tan skin colour doesn’t make her less Spanish, or in this case, Paldean. Hell, her green eyes are meant to represent a hazel tone, which I have (despite being white as fuck) and which many of us have. I’d appreciate it if we stopped being weird about this, because it’s really starting to bother me. Maybe learn a little more about Spain before telling me to make my very clearly caucasian character caucasian.

>>57508602
You’ll see, you’ll see. There’s some cultural elements I’m making up for Ceniza to mention in the Jacques doc, and I’m filling in some gaps. I’d be happy to add extra context and answer questions after I post it, which I hope will be soon.

Upon re-reading this, I’ve noticed that you indeed acknowledged that people from the south can be more tan. Sorry for exploding like that. It’s just that, when I first posted Ceniza’s design, I remember some people telling me that she didn’t look Spanish, which really got to me. I’m trying to put a lot of my national and cultural pride into this character and it was kinda annoying to hear that, so when I read your suggestion to make her into someone from the north instead I misunderstood your intentions. You probably didn’t mean it that way. Sorry about that, again. I’m gonna have dinner and keep writing after.

I don't see much wrong with it. If they specialize in one type it's obviously a big part of their life and even IRL a lot of people express what they're passionate about through their clothes. With some people you can tell at a glance what kind of music they listen to, what games they play or which animals they groom for a living.

Is funny to me, because you posted that image of the biker with the Clefairy, and reminds me of an old biker OC I did.
He was supposed to look and act like a bit of a blockhead, but he was meant to be an honest yet though man. His team were powerhouses, and all from the Ground line up.
But the thing is that the man himself was peaceful for someone with big strenght. He just wanted to chill, drive his bike, and do some gardening. He didn't even mugged people anymore, he had a job as a construction worker and drove his bike during the weekends.
At least his catchphrase was "byeah", because he was made to be those relatively fat bikers who burp or just go "byeah".

Bold of you to assume it’s Chiko. Rose has Toto in the pic so the rival has Tepig. The leaves are coming from some random grass type Pokemon maybe

I've been experimenting with how much of the official Pokémon art style I use in my art and tried making Merumo more slender and kinda lanky, like a lot of female designs in the recent games. But I think I overdid it.
Before anyone asks, the sunset is AI generated.

>>57510940
Idk why but the bluntness of "he looked like a hobo" made me snort. This was an enjoyable read. I'd love to see Jacques' revenge if you ever feel like doing a sequel.

>>57511861
Aw damn, I made pancakes just yesterday and I had an idea of drawing something Pokémon related on them with cream but I was so hungry I just ate them. Next time. And I'll definitely take a picture.

Anon's also aiming for the slender and lanky pokegirl look.
Honestly, I think it looks fine. Kind of makes Merumo look like a doll, which suits her. Little Prince continues to be perfect and that's all that matters.
You did a really great job on that sunset too. :^)
Looks straight out of Mystery Dungeon.

>Thread Question: What are your OC's survival skills (or just any skills)?
Ivy's tough and can appreciate the rugged nature of camping and roughing it out in wilderness, but she'd only have a very basic understanding of that kind of stuff and would prefer staying in a town/hotel/inn for the night. When it comes to first aid and medicine survival skills however, she's very knowledgeable. She's the type to know about which berries and plants are medicinal or poisonous or not, but would struggle to start a fire by herself (thankfully her Hitmonchan knows Fire Punch).
Outside of survival skills (although I guess there could be an argument that this is a survival skill), Ivy's a seasoned fighter and could hold her own against most in a brawl.
>>57497494
>If anything, I was hoping you'd write over it more.

[picrel] Ivy would see Snorlax as an opportunity to strength train and push it out of the way. Miko would simply bounce over it using his Electrode. And Cece wouldn't even bother.
>>57509998
I think I prefer it when type specialists look like their type or at least have a nod to it in some regard, they are a specialists after all. I appreciate things like the floral patterns Circe has in her design that alludes to her grass type specialty.
Even if they're not exactly type specialists, trainer classes in game also tend to stereotypically look like what they are, especially if they're a jobber of sorts. (ex: super nerd with button down and glasses, scientists in lab coats, construction workers in their work uniform, etc.).

I don't remember. But basically some frat boys and girls believe that two rednecks are some sort of murderous cannibals, but in reality it was the farmers who were the victims.
You see, along the runtime you'll see those frat boys dying in the most stupid ways, and the poor rural men being traumatized.

I don't remember the name, but I heard people liked that take.
