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!

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.”

I love gyaru Pokémon trainer Miku

[waywardstation]

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.

Art rec! Lady Sneasler with her warden and the Shiny Warden? (If Emmet also fell with Ingo?)

BIG FAN OF THIS ACTUALLY. quite enjoyable. Ingo and Emmet got separated when they first fell, with Ingo getting picked up by Pearl Clan and Lady Sneasler dragging Emmet around for about a week until Ingo woke up in a cold sweat realizing there was something he left on Mt.Coronet(at the time not realizing it was his brother).

Irida went with Ingo till they stumbled upon eachother. Irida thought he was a fucked up Zorua or something until the twins started circling eachother like really excited dogs and realized oh. okay never mind there's just another one now.

since Emmet had such a swell time with Lady Snealser and she quickly takes a liking to Ingo as well, Irida finds it easy enough to appoint them as her wardens when they get acclimated, probably the weirdest ones in the history of the clans.

they both are missing their memories; when they first stumbled upon eachother they were sputtering trying to say eachother's names they gave up and went "YOU!!! I KNOW YOU!!!!". Emmet ended up introducing himself first when he caught Irida saying Ingo's name. and got excited that he had it again.

RUBBING HANDS TOGETHER. I LOVE TO THINK ABOUT THINGS. I LIKE WENT PEOPLE SEND ME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT AND DRAW.
