Red and Blue: Badge 1

TimeLine: Nov 2023

This is where our journey truly begins, and the start of our Kanto adventure. Ferel chose to play through Blue on physical cart since they own every game, while Felt chose to play on the 3DS out of personal preference. Ferel had set a goal to complete the Pokédex in the first generation for the very first time. Felt meanwhile, has a much bigger goal in mind across their lengthy journey.

Ferel: We began our Kanto journey like everyone else does, with the game opening up in Pallet Town and with us going to try and meet Prof. Oak, though of course he wasn’t there so we decided to try and see what was outside of the small town. Suddenly we were jumped by the missing professor himself and he brought us back to his lab, only for us to then meet back up with the jackass himself, Gary Oak. Prof. Oak then showed us the three starters we could choose for our adventure, I chose a young Squirtle named Shella, and Felt choosing a fiery Charmander named Mala. We both took down Gary easily in our respective games and took off into the tall grass on Route 1, where we would battle various low level Pokemon to make our new partners stronger. 

Ferel: Upon entering Vermillion City; Felt was wandering around the city while I decided to check out the Pokemart there, as I entered however the store clerk got my attention and asked if I were able to deliver a package for Prof. Oak, I complied and took back off with the box in hand, seemingly forgetting about my girlfriend who was oddly nowhere to be seen. After returning to Vermillion with two new pokedexes for us, I realized that Felt was not in the city, I looked about before heading to Vermillion Forest. Felt: I decided to take a small strut over to the nearby forest while Ferel seemed to be preoccupied with something at the Pokemart. Imagine my surprise when the moment after I stepped foot inside, a Pikachu suddenly ran out in front of me! The little fellow was surprisingly friendly and just trotted over to me. I jokingly asked if it wanted to come along, and yet, it didn't seem to object. With that, I decided to toss a Poke Ball and caught the little guy first try! Right as I was about to head back to Vermillion, when Ferel popped up behind me with a PokeDex in hand. I showed them the PIkachu I caught, which I was pretty happy about... then I realized I didn't know what to name him. Ferel suggested the name "Jack", and after looking at him... yeah. He kinda does look like a Jack. Jack the Pikachu it is then!

Ferel: With that taken care of we then headed into Vermillion Forest properly this time, where I tried to catch any new Pokemon that crossed my path, Felt did the same but at a more leisurely pace, as well as catching a Metapod and naming it Metagod. (cont.)

(cont.) We soon exit the dense forest and enter Pewter City, home to the very first gym of our adventure. Felt explored the new city while I went right for the gym, where I easily defeated everyone with Shella who by now had evolved, by the time Felt got to the gym, things weren’t as easy for her… Due to the bad type matchups and both Mala and Jack being unable to learn a decent move to counter Brock’s Geodude and Onyx, Felt failed her first attempt against the first gym leader… though hope wasn’t entirely lost. Through vigorous training back near the forest, Metagod the Metapod evolved into a Butterfree, and with its Confusion move that left the non believers in awe and fear, Felt was able to triumphantly win her second attempt. 

And with that, ends the beginning of our journey! Next up will be our trip to Cerulean City and the happenings along the way, we hope to see you then!

I made this back in either late October or early this month? But when ever this was made I did it to both cheer up my girlfriend, aaand to keep a promise I made to her when she helped me get a stand for my drawing tablet.... Troll Gordon Ramsey everyone 🙃

Reblogging here just to say this here <:3

POV: Pester has something to say to you

In light of what’s going on right now, please know things are going to be ok <:3 It looks very bad right now I know, but try to stand strong in light of everything going on. Stick by those who you care about and care about you, we’ll get through this storm together ❤️

[ferelbasta]

Omg yes I was wondering what happened! I’m so so sorry it’s taken this long to get back to you tho XC I checked yesterday and I was confused as to why your icon was an anon one. Yee! My gf and I have actually been constructing a huge AU story with Mckraken life as well as a story for Fumi/Katie getting the watch instead. We’re working on them via rps so most are already written down :3 we just need to write them in the formats of a proper fic than rp lol

I'm trying to explain to my friends that Chairman Mckraken is so interesting to me, but I'm AWFUL with words so UGH.

I wish we had more content on him because most of my opinion has to be extracted from the small bits that we get in canon. Or fanon/hcs. That too. I tend to like characters who are basically if the kniving joke villain was an actual threat and wELL. The alternate timeliness doesn't look fun (profuse sweating). He throws little puns in there and he's condescending af to anyone of no use to him 😭 he's terrible and perfect at the same time. I love him <3

I also just love that his redemption arc was implied, but all IN THE BACKGROUND. From 1-2 he got caught at some point I think. Maybe. I don't know the timeliness gets a little funky sometimes. And in 3, he's running not 1 but 2 restaurants to pay off a debt (again ??? I think so) and by 4, he's calmed down enough to where you can actually befriend!!! Yay!! Unfortunately there's low hope for Shadowside translation, but it's something!

I love to make up a little backstory for him about what might have caused his initial views, and what happened during his redemption. I want to see more interactions with Dr. Maddiman and maybe even Micchī since he might very worked with him due to the whole seal debacle. (If that's even the same Mitsumata to be fair).

In conclusion, MAKE SQUID CONTENT. THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.

A lil something for my gf @feltmanor <:3

[ferelbasta]

Kind of an old doodle I did for my gf buuuut she suggested I post it regardless .v.

Just a simple doodle of Leshy and the yellow cat c: ( who my gf has dubbed Mernaty )

[ferelbasta]

My gf @feltmanor and I recently beat the Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remake and OMFG I WAS CRYING AT THE END FROM HOW MUCH I LOVED IT 🥺

Seriously I can’t believe this remake wasn’t made by fans, how much polish and detail there is and the quality of life updates! This easily became game of the year for my gf, and for me it reminded me just how much I adore a certain “freak” in a sheet, I’m talking about Doopliss uvu

I never had this game as a kid and only discovered the games when I was in my early teens, I discovered Doopliss when I found a comic about him being made over on deviantART, it was about him having partners of his own and going on his very own adventure! This ofc engrossed me and I read every page that was available at the time, sadly the artist behind this comic never finished it and hasn’t touched it in… so many years… I actually remember asking if I could continue it a few years after she stopped and yet she wanted to give it another try at making the comic… though nothing became of this… cut to now and I’ve fallen right back in love with this lil guy after encountering him in game and seeing all new art of him 🥹

I remember during the time I was really into paper Mario after playing super paper Mario and watching videos about it that I tried to take a crack at creating a story for Doopliss, I used at least two characters this person made for her old comic and added known characters from the PM world. I only ever made stand alone art pieces back then and never got into an actual story… until everything came flooding back when I played the remake of TTYD. I’m not going to go into detail on what this new adventure will be about but I’ll just say it incorporates some stuff from my old ideas and a few characters from that old comic I discovered ( I’m sure the artist wouldn’t mind that I’d use these old characters since the comic is abandoned to my knowledge but I’ll see if I can ask her first ).

NOW to these doodles! :’D (spoiler talk under the cut )

My gf actually requested me to draw some Doopliss doodles and ofc I happily obliged. It’s been literal years since I last drew this lil baby boy and just seeing him makes me so damn happy 🥹❤️ also this is the first time I’ve ever drawn Flurrie! Tbh I thought I’d fuck her up but I’m kinda happy with how she turned out c: Now since Doopliss does join Flurrie in the acting business in the end of the game I see the two start bonding over the years they work with each other. I see about five or so years passing by after the events of TTYD and I see Flurrie acting as a motherly figure to Doopliss, since I see him being rather young mentally, like around 14 to 15 years old, his bio age I got nothin on since idk how duplighosts age >>;; plus I got ideas for his parents and he hasn’t really seen/been with his real mom in a rather long time.. so I thought it’d be cute and sweet for Flurrie to do this <:3

( also that chicken doodle is a reference to this post )

[ferelbasta]

Calling all artists !!!

RB for sample size maybe? I’m very curious.

Could also apply to writers!

[ferelbasta]

“Stand by for validation…”

My gf made me draw this :Y

[ferelbasta]

Was feeling really off today since some rl stuff, so I decided to doodle some Yokai from memory and try to get the hang of my design for a Satori oc I have planned, though I wasn’t that happy with how he was turning out.. theeeeen I decided to look at some Japanese Macaque images to try and study how I should draw him later.

The images I used were found on google images btw

[ferelbasta]

Eh really a huge story but you probs get what I mean :Y

Ik these aren't canon to what we got from Lvl5 buuuuuut I have been working on a rather huge thing for Mckraken for many years now :3 Been working on and off of it with my gf and I'm working on getting bits and pieces posted ^^

I'm trying to explain to my friends that Chairman Mckraken is so interesting to me, but I'm AWFUL with words so UGH.

Here we have another (kinda) familiar face, Minister Squisker! I created this design for him years ago since Level5 has only ever shown off him as a redesign of Mckrakens monster form, and that never felt right to me, so I decided to give him an actual design :3 as well as a size chart. Now for a bit about him ->

Minister Squisker; as his name suggests, is a very important yokai in the royal court, he was also very close friends with the late Ancient Lord Enma, as well as his family being close with the Enma tribe in general. Squisker is a rather stern and rough sounding yokai but only ever is hard on others to try and bring the best out of them ( Mckraken being a good example), this has given him a reputation with outsiders as seemingly being a bit of a hard ass. Squisker has always been very supportive of his younger sister; Marina, especially when she decided to marry a yokai not of high society, he only cares for her and his extended families happiness.

Squisker does enjoy some down time surprisingly to most, when not hard at work he enjoys taking strolls around the palace, hanging out with either Ancient Enma ( usually involving drinks ) or being with Marina, Octavious and young Mckraken at their humble farmhouse a few town away. Squisker; while being a very supposedly open yokai, hates humans with a burning passion, no one, not even Marina or Ancient Enma, knows why the large squid has such a hatred for humans. The only soul who knows the reasoning is Squisker himself, which he had long forgotten until he was reminded one fateful night, one that he wishes he could forget.

Never thought I'd draw these two again!

If you aren't aware I made art of what I feel Mckrakens parents might look like/be, since I'm starting to get back into yokai watch I thought I might as well redo these twos first picture! Since I honestly didn't like how they looked after these years >>;; Gonna just put their old info here sinc they haven't changed -->

Marina is Squisker's younger sister, the do similarities show. She has a relaxed and calm demeanor but will become passionate about something if she takes great interest in said thing/event. Marina was always with her older brother growing up, both acting similar to best friends in ways.

Octavious's name comes from his "oblivious" nature, when in reality he actually is very observant. He too is very calm and relaxed but will jump into action when needed. His side of the family have feline genes due to his great grandfather being a bakéneko, this also explains his and Mckrakens cat like actions (and his folded ears).

I also decided to go into more of their lives since I never did so back then. Octavious's family is actually a long line of farmers believe it or not! While Marinas upbringing was rather lavish, Octavious had more humble beginnings. Shown here is Octavious starting to show young Mckraken the ropes of farming and planting crops, as well as Marina teaching him how to use kitchen tools, these come into play as Mckraken gets older since he is very skilled with cooking and such :3

What the dog doin?

Idk if anyone remembers from my last blog or over on twitter but I absolutely ADORE Jinmenken ( aka Manjimutt) with all my heart and HATE how the anime treated this pupper. He is my top favorite Yokai and biggest comfort character too, he literally means so much to me 🥺

It’s been a real long time since I last drew him so I decided to draw him a bit to get back used to drawing him again. I then decided to him with Fumika’s ( Katie’s ) dad since I actually have this huge AU where Fumi actually got the watch instead of Keita ( Nate ) and in the part of the story where she incounters Jinmenken, I see befriending him and after some more stuff happening he ends up at her house and her folks end up seeing him, but as a kinda “ugly” dog instead of a human thanks to a special collar for dog Yokai. It’s a lot to explain so I’ll ofc go into more detail later, but for now I can say that after Fumi explains that she “found” Jinmenken needing help, she decided to help the pup until her and her parents found his actual owner. The mom is fine with this but the dad just bonds with Jinmenken fast and the two become inseparable ^^;; Again there are details missing but I will explain better later <:3

But yeah! Just some really cute doodles of this adorable puppy 🥹

[ferelbasta]

Some more sketches! This time of two Yokai Watch OCs that have been on the back burner for quite awhile, just trying to figure them out. Who we have here are actually fan kids of two ships I really love, the first one is Roxanne, Agent X and Rongo Swirlls daughter, and the second is Oliver Kraken, Chairman Mckraken and Dr. Maddimans son.

I’ve had their designs brewing in my head for maaaaaany years by this point but atm I’ve been having big YW brain rot so I decided to attempt to get their designs down… at least their first draft. I’m sure something’s will change when I draw them more but their personalities are def set in stone :3

[ferelbasta]

I want to start out this post saying I LOVE farming games, so as a result of that you assume I’ve played Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons growing up, and you’d be right! Another thing I love is biology and speculative biology/evolution/zoology etc… basically I love and am fascinated by the natural world and its history.

That being said with the boom of farming games and just cozy games in general, I’ve become to be inspired to try and make a farming game myself but with a twist. It would be similar to old harvest moon games like 64/ Magical Melody but set in an alien world, where you play as a sophont alien being raising a farm (idk if livestock will be included but will think more on it) and I would like to have some supernatural/magical elements to it too. Just so it’s not just a farm game where you’re an alien from another world than a human :V

I have a lot of ideas for this concept but not the tools to do much with it atm. It’s still very much in its infancy so this is all I have to say right now .3.
