Hey, @bogleech, have you ever heard of the old game Nanovor?

It was an old toys-to-life game (think Skylanders) from 2008, created by Smith & Tinker, that sought to make their mark during the height of the Mons craze.

The plot of the game stated that, long before life as we knew it lived on this planet, the very first creatures to evolve shortly after the formation of the Earth were microscopic silicon-based creatures known as Nanovor, feeding off of the Nitrogen-rich atmosphere.

As the Earth transitioned to an Oxygen-based atmosphere, the Nanovor began to die out, becoming extinct. Their corpses became sand, crystal, and silicon, and inadvertently became revived when humans invented the computer chip, hiding away in many electronic (or just electric) devices.

A group of students inadvertently discover the Nanovor, and guided by their science professor, seek to stop this knowledge from falling into the wrong hands.

It was a multimedia franchise, so, besides the computer game, there was a handheld peripheral called the Nanoscope that you could use to store your Nanovor (Pokéwalker-style) and battle wild Nanovor and other players on the go.

There were also comics, a web animation series, and even a short-lived tv series that served as an expansion of the web animation.

There were also action figures that served as both collectibles and ways to get new Nanovor:

The creature designs were top-notch in my opinion, as you can see here with the three Starters, which are nowhere near as ridiculous or extreme as the designs can get:

And as for how the tone of the combat goes, it’s closer to Digimon than Pokémon, in that it’s got a Hard Sci-Fi tone. In fact, the best way I can put it is that it is to those games as Darkspore was to the original Spore, as, like Darkspore, it had the Hard Sci-Fi tone and was much more violent, as the Nanovor slaughtered each other in gory fashion during battles.

In fact, that was a plot point, as they only way they could stay alive in an oxygen-based environment was by the adrenaline released through combat. Those killed could be easily revived by another surge of electricity, none the worse for wear.

Sadly, the game was shut down a year or two after its creation, but, like with Darkspore, there are fan projects in the works to create functional emulators to bring it back!

i love comparing pokédex entries for the same mon between different games bc almost all of them will be very brief, matter-of-fact, purely scientific without any first person pronouns or personal information about the author. and then you get to the legends arceus entries and laventon’s writing stuff like ‘ngl i still don’t understand this species’ ‘i tried petting this pokémon once and it bit me’ ‘i live in fear of this thing’ ‘man i miss galar. who said that’

why are all of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon plots so batshit. like— “town is convinced you’re the harbinger of the apocalypse and starts a national manhunt to kill you.” “you come from a destroyed future and fight and if you solve the problem you get fucking deleted.” “you’re actually the tenth of so isekai protagonist they summoned but everyone else DIED.” “a being of pure hate wants to die because it’s being forcefed hate and tries to throw the earth into the sun. also it possesses your dad to send you HELL and you have to crawl put of it.”

Ingo and Akari are surprised when they’re approached by a Hisuian Zoroark parent and their kits — these aggressive pokemon are notorious for secluding themselves away from most Pokémon towns, and keeping others away from them. The group even seems standoffish while they approach them! For a moment, Ingo is concerned they accidentally encroached on Zoroark territory, and they’re about to be attacked.

But when Zoroark hands a request over to the exploration team, begging the pair to go find their third missing kit, it makes a little more sense.

Without hesitation, Akari reassures the group they’ll find the missing Zorua as soon as possible.

Not all legendary pokemon are highly intelligent, Yveltal for example are akin to regular wild animals. Acting on instinct.

Xerneas, however are one of the more highly intelligent Legendaries. And they really do earn their status as a 'Legendary' as far as they've been researched only two have been found, one in Kalos and the other in the opposite side of the world. Xerneas are highly sociable, they tend to seek out populated areas and tend to be tolerant to human presence.

Xerneas are seemingly fond of their destructive counterpart- as they have been seen picking out 'Brood Parasites' out of their nests. Yveltal tend to linger around areas where a Xerneas is present too, mainly due to the fact that they practically expel an extreme amount of life energy which the Yveltal feed on.
