[nell0-0]

Hi Nell0! How are you? Well I’m pretty good as of late and part of it is that I can walk perfectly fine again. I didn’t even have to do physical therapy for it. But still that whole thing was agonizing and I don’t recommend it at all. Come to think of about it it’s been a while since I did a question here since I been so busy. Hmm this isn’t a question if I don’t ask one so I’m going to ask it. My brain keeps coming up with a scenario where Ingo had his own Light Dragon AKA Dragon! Zelda arc where yeah it sounds exactly how it sounds. He turns into a immortal(ish?) Pokémon to let say go home but he ALMOST lost his humanity completely like what happened with BOTW/TOTK Zelda but nope they both turned back human after all so happy ending. But what would you Legendify him into? Other than Zekrom, I keep seeing him turn into a Shiny Giratina because ghost type and the silverness of the helmet thingy can be read as his gray hair, Suicine and possibly a Hisuian one too at that because he can basically run on any body of water and basically kind of becomes a Cryptid in Unova and finally Lunala but a black and silver one because I seen a theory he got to Hisui because of the Ultra Wormholes plus Lunala can open up one anytime it pleases. Ok this was fun to ask because I don’t have anybody to talk about this to! Ok have a good day/night and I catch up with you later! Thx! ❤️

It's been some time, anon! Glad to hear that and that you didn't have to go to rehabilitation, since it can be kinda painful sometimes depending on the injury. Still would be a good idea to try and get a bit more strength in the muscles to avoid a repeat or pain in the long run, but happy to hear all's good.

The thought of Ingo becoming a dragon that would last until his original time wasn't one I thought about until now, but the potential??? To be honest, there's a lot of legendaries or mythicals that could fit. I'm not sure which one I would choose because my guilty au preference is the twin dragons au, but that wouldn't really work here. I mean, it would, but there's the chance to make up something unique and it would be such a waste to let it go by. I really associate Irida with Hoopa because of the Pearl Clan, so a mythical or a legendary of the sixth generation could work as well.

Having said all that, my favorite still has gotta be Kyurem Ingo. It just fits, dunno how to explain it but it does. I saw the Ultra wormholes theory around a lot some time ago and it could be, but I'm still not sold on the idea. Could be a situation of the same thing being called different things on two very different points of time, but pokemon world is strange enough for the rifts to be their own thing. Or be Giratina related, mostly because of what happened in one of the pkmn movies (the one with Shaymin).

Bunnys grumblings - me complaining, most of the time it is not f/o or self ship related

Bunny headcanons - headcanons, most are about my F/O’s but aren’t really self ship related, mostly just personal ideas about the character. Might open myself up to doing characters I’m familiar with but don’t f/o someday. These will be updated with time, they are always growing posts.

Cool Games of 2022 that I liked

This guy launched with a pretty rough beta and honestly still isn't complete, but it's probably the most enjoyable co-op level based shooter that I've ever played. I've heard Fatshark is pretty good at creating additional content for their games, but you really shouldn't buy a game based on what might be coming. The moment to moment gameplay is just good. It's just really good. Also it's visually incredible...if your graphics card can handle it. (on a 3070ti with DLSS on quality and sometimes I drop to below 60fps at 1440p)

Pkmn LetLet def needed more time in development, but honestly this is probably the most interesting pkmn game overall. I personally only experienced one crash during my play time and performance has been fine. Like, I expect a switch to crumple under the weird expectations this game has, they should've designed those parts better, but even then. It's still a very compelling game. I like the openness, I liked exploring (even if it rarely hit 30 fps), I liked catching new funny little dudes, I liked the characters for once because they don't feel so one dimensional. Competitive is wild right now, lots of interesting teams and weird new stuff. I do hope they continue modifying the pkmn formula, I really want more for co-op. Anyway, I do hope they just slow down with pkmn and the devs can get their shit together properly.

I highly recommend if you're a fan of PS1 horror games. A dystopian sci-fi setting with Lovecraft themes and RE1~esq controls and puzzles and excellently executed anime art style. Everything about this game just works.

PLEASE NOTE THIS GAME DOES HAVE A LOT OF FLASHING IMAGERY AND DOES NOT HAVE A WAY TO TURN IT OFF.

A DOOM-like that takes being called that as a compliment. If you like fast-paced old school shooters, you'll love it. It's got dudes to shoot and you have bullets to feed them. Pretty excellent level design, some bits that make it just a little more engaging than point gun and dude, but not enough to disrupt flow. I really had a good time with it.

I kickstarter'd this game and I'm glad I did. It's a great puzzle platformer with a funny gun that is also a frog. I really love ps1 aesthetics and low poly art and this game does a great job with it. It's also fun to replay and speedrun levels. The frogun's sticky tongue latching on to walls to move around quickly is fun.

Absolutely excellent sprite work with gameplay improvements to an already good beat'em up base. If you need a beat'em up to play with friends, this one is my go to.

It sure does like to say capitalism sucks a lot, and that's a pretty good feature. Enjoyed the story and the characters, the beginning is really tense, but it loses that about a quarter of the way in (which I kinda miss). Still, you'll mostly enjoy following character stories and trying to do the best you can looking for your preferred ending with a funny dice system

Finally, a voxel based game that isn't terrible and actually takes advantage of being voxel based. Tons of creative solutions and interesting challenges. Unfortunately does need a pretty good rig to enjoy a lot of the visuals, but it does looks really good too.

I really liked Shadow Tower and King's Field. There's something really appealing about first person dungeon crawlers. The world here is interesting and full of secrets. Exploration is fun, but sometimes really tense (in a good way). Also, of course, I like ps1 aesthetics and this one really nails its look within that visual style while still feeling like it's own.

It's still in Early Access, but the content that's there is honestly worth it.

Yeah, it's good. Play it. I wrote a bunch of stuff about it before that felt negative overall, but it's still a great game (and better than the majority of other over inflated budget games).

Good job FromSoftware, now stop overworking your employees and please just take care of Armored Core 6. PLEASE REMEMBER THE ANTI-CAPITALISTIC THEMES OF ARMORED CORE. PLEASE REMEMBER THEM. PLEASE DON'T WATER DOWN HOW MEGA CORPORATIONS RUINED THE WORLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WON'T FORGIVE YOU IF YOU DO. I'LL MAKE MY OWN STUPID MECH GAME GOD DAMN IT.

dont forget me when im your college mutual... WAIT i forgot abt flying beagle its one of my fave albums ever. i was listening to mint jams and it was in my recommended. i love that dog. i love japanese 80s music. i dont quite know the genre, but its jazzpop. mostly jazzy. not quite citypop, citypop is much more floaty. ow my eyes hurt. isnt if crazy that when you go to sleep at a reasonable time you wake up early and well rested? but im starting every morning mad because pkmn sleep doesnt work :( i think its cause i need to place it directly on my bed but theres no room bc of my pillow setup. i have a body pillow on either side of me at all times. it cant read my heartbeat through the pillow i guess. an it eidnt get anything when it was by my feet either. well anyway look your back from flying beagle is playing the world is beautiful

Ok I know I've been saying "haha arceus hunt is making me go insane" as a joke but I'm literally going insane I can't deal with these hallucinations man 😭👍

Gone from being in complete agony mentally to uncontrollable laughter to a complete state of calm I can't snap myself out of

Maybe I shouldn't shiny hunt for like 8 hours straight ever again this is torture

I read all of your asks in my ask box and dude. You need to rest!!! 8 hours is a stupid long time!!!!!

If you can, I highly recommend leaving Spear Pillar to grab the shiny charm! As far as I know, Arceus is a hunt you can leave and then come back to! Though the trek to Spear Pillar is long, shiny hunting without a shiny charm is longer! Please, for the love of Arceus, try to get yourself the shiny charm first! It saves a LOT of headaches!

And as they say, if the Arceus doesn't shine for after too long...

[sparklingdemon]

YOU YOU are the one who runs Pokemon Monochrome, I take it! All I have to say is I love the blog, and am wondering what other blogs you have? I can't remotely say I'm into pokepasta really, since I only really like the not particularly spooky ones (and mostly after being un-gore-ified) but there's been some fun characters like Nameless Trainer, EEeEE (big E), the less graphic depictions of that Celebi from Lost Silver (Aka I like the characters but mostly only after fundamentally removing them from the main appeal lmao)

hello! yes, that's me!

unfortunately, most of my other pokepasta-themed blogs DO still contain the standard gore associated with the genre, so i don't know if they're up your alley.

but if you're curious anyways...

@askbrvrandcompany is an AU of sorts where (most of) my pokepasta characters all somehow end up inside of BRVR's game and live together in a "creepypasta manor" type dynamic. there's some regrets i have with the characterization, and some information there has been rendered obsolete. but, it might still be fun for you to read anyways!

@explorersofdeath is a (shortlived) blog based on the story's official remake, which i would strongly recommend reading through first, as the blog contains some major spoilers for it. i mean it, if you read the original explorers of death and dive into the blog thinking you know enough, you will be spoiled for events that are exclusive to the remake.

both blogs are long-since inactive now, but there's still a bit of content on there if you decide you're willing to stomach the blood after all.

if you want something that's more of a pkmn-monochrome vibe, i can also show you fallenpkmntrainer, an ask blog i created based on my pokepasta, fallen leaf. unlike the aforementioned, this story contains no blood/gore, but still has that pokepasta feel to it. however, like the explorers of death blog, i highly recommend reading the story first so you can fully understand the blog's context. the blog itself centers around the aftermath of the original pasta's climax - you don't want that spoiled for you!

fallenpkmntrainer is dubiously canon - meaning that fallen leaf's emotions/motives established on the blog are canon, but the events that take place on the blog are not. i think it helps supplement the story a lot, and gives missing subtext that people reading the original story might not have picked up on.

it's probably the only blog i can call "complete", as i've said everything i could ever want to with it.

fallen leaf is kind of my baby, second now only to pkmn-monochrome, so i hope you'll enjoy it...!

[insecateur]

Hi! Ive been studying french for a couple of years now, and i really wanna up my passive interaction with the language. Do you have any good recs for french pokemon bloggers/youtubers/etc? If not, thats alright, have a nice day anyways :]

hello! unfortunately i don't engage with pokémon fandom a lot whether in french or english😔 the community i actually have interacted with the most in recent years has been shiny hunters lmao. but i can recommend Newtiteuf (he plays a variety of games but does focus on pokémon a lot. he used to date a big figure in the anglo shiny hunting community so you may have heard of him. he also streams on twitch) and Maître Armand (he's The french shiny hunter basically, though he also does competitive battling. also streams on twitch and he's pretty active on twitter if you're into that)

if you have any interest in shiny hunting or competitive pokémon battling you can probably find people via twitch pretty easily by picking french as the language. i used to be somewhat involved in the french competitive battling community but the vibes were kind of :/ so i've mostly given up on it

if you're interested in people who are into the fandom-fandom like writing fic, making art, being fannish about the anime etc however i have no names to give you😭 i'm sorry. it's only very recently that i've been dipping my toes back into the larger pkmn fandom or really any fandom at all. i guess if you use twitter you could try looking up keywords and adding lang:fr to your search? if you're looking on tumblr afaik even french fans use primarily english on here...

if anybody following me has suggestions pls feel free to reply🙏

SKIN IM BOUT TO BUY A 3DS WHAT POKÉMON GAMES SHOULD I PLAY IVE ONLY PLAYED BLACK AND POKÉMON GO.

oh man oh boy, personally i recommend omega ruby or alpha sapphire if you haven't played a gen 3 game (ruby, sapphire, emerald), theyre probably the most faithful and visually beautiful remakes ive ever played!!! plus it significantly improves on a bunch of new features introduced in X and Y that came right before it, like mega evolution and pokemon-amie (stupid name, but its the mini game where you can feed and pet your lil buddies!!!) plus the post-game is one of the best!!! it also introduces the DexNav, which lets you sneak up on pokemon you can actually see in the overworld, which at the time was a very big deal. The soundtrack? Fire. The intro sequence when you first start a new game? Fire. the map? maybe a lil too much water in the latter part of the game, but it’s FIRE. gen 3 did so much for the franchise with introducing new landscapes, weather, unique environments not seen in any other pokemon game. people CRIED when OR/AS first came out, because it’s like a love letter to the original games while introducing so many cool new features it felt like an entirely new adventure while DRIPPING with nostalgia, they’re so fun!!!

if Hoenn doesn't suit your style, or you want to start with something more original than a remake, another good place to start on 3DS is Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon!! those are the gen 7 sequels, theyre Very similar to sun and moon but imo enough improvements to cinematics and story (and pokemon available!!!) are made that it would save you the time of playing sun/moon first while still getting the full taste of the alola region!!! you can customize your player character which fuckin rules, AND without spoiling anything, if you play US/UM youll recognize some things from pkmn Black!!! gen 7 is visually stunning and has some of the best NPCs in the franchise, and is just super fun and rewarding to explore every nook and cranny. it's actually worth it to talk to the NPCs you see around bc sometimes it'll trigger little stories to play out or side quests to do, which is pretty unique for a pokemon game!!! it made the world feel richer, and lived in, very cool. BUT the Alola region is unique compared to other regions because they don't follow the Gym League Circuit model all the other ones do, they do what's called the island challenge!!! S/M and US/UM are structured differently (although not TOO differently) than any other game, so it's refreshing, but if you're looking for a more classic experience maybe start somewhere else first.

X and Y are near and dear to my heart, but it was a big transition from 2D to 3D, so they aren't as "polished" as the games that came after. hate to say it, but although X/Y introduced mega evolution in the first place, OR/AS does it better. They're still really fun though!!! they're the first games in the franchise where you can customize your player character, and the Kalos pokedex has a GOURMET selection of pokemon. gen 6 was the first game to really amp up the variety of pokemon available before the national dex is unlocked, mostly because this was the first time people were seeing their favs in full 3D, so they wanted to include as many as possible. the post-game is very lackluster, but the sheer VARIETY of mons makes replayability pretty high and enjoyable. there are 593 different pokemon available in x and y more than ANY OTHER GAME (besides swsh im pretty sure?) like. holy shit, right? you can build ANY team in that game, endless possibilities. plus im really fond of the characters they introduce, they’re so unique and adorable and dare i say..... found family???

i know you didnt ask about this specifically so feel free to ignore this part, but 3DS pokemon games can be pretty expensive, however they are VERY easy to pirate, and run great on most computers!!! you can even play the older games, gen 5 and below, on a non-apple smart phone with little to no issues!!! im pretty technologically inept and even I could figure it out, so if you want tips on emulation to get that sweet sweet pokemon content for free, i can help with that too <3

MANNNNNN im so excited for you, i wish i could go back and experience them for the first time again, how special!!!

Pokemon AU Headcanon, part 2/?: Trading and its specifics

Since the trading logic for evolvig and in general has always felt fluent in games but not in actual reality (because let’s face it, there isn’t a huge need to overcomplicate the process and build a Rube Goldberg machines.). Due to this I’ve decided to implement the minor changes in the logic of trading which I will follow in my Pkmn AU verses. 

Trading Machines and Wonder Trade exist and are organized by GTS (Global Trade Center) and function like in the games. The major change is that their use is just mainly used for people who are in other regions and far from each other. Corporations and laboratories also use this service if they need a specific HM user or other specific reasons.

In the Trading Machines both parties see the species and its level before the Pokemons are traded and you have to double-check your options before the trade is confirmed. The selected Pokemon will be sent to your PC Box you use by numerical order. 

Wonder Trade is like lottery and you hoping to win something, and the chances of actually getting something good depends on the goal you have. In general you get mostly not rare Pokemons since nobody is dumb enough to trade a rarely found one to an unknown one.

Trading Machines and Wonder Trade can be accessed from Pokemon Centers or the official building at f.ex Jubilife City and the two biggest cities in a region. If the server is dead and too crowded, neither is possible until the connections and electronics are fixed.

Most people usually deal with Pokemon Trading face-to-face by a set of protocols most follow to keep things fair and this process is recommended if you know them well or in person, and are in the same area. If the person has any suspicions on the other party, they are directed to use the GTS to stay safe and not get scammed.

The protocol consists of 1) showing before the trade what Pokemon will be traded by either releasing out from the ball to the nature to show that you aren’t bluffing/confirm you aren't handing a wrong Pokemon, 2) returning the Pokemon to the balls and then handing the Poke Ball to the other (with markings to ensure you’re not receiving the same back if the ball design is the same) without any gimmickry, 3) and finally getting the Pokemon out from the balls to imply to them how they now changed owners.

The server actions at GTS can be overlooked and controlled in case any illegal actions happen and PDs and higher forces like Interpol have a right to get access to the data if they have heavy reasons to do so.

@archclergy​   { i would stan this so hard as someone who does not have legends arceus and prob wont get it due to money reasons }

oh defo! to be fair what i'll mostly be covering is IRL history- 1800s, not covered in the game, but the plot points will sure help! I’d recommend a ‘cutscenes’ video, though some interactions may be missed ofc. This combined with a wiki page should cover most pkmn chars tbh. Postgame peeps are most likely working with histories being represented; 1800s Hokkaido (the game most likely takes place around 1860 or so due to Ainu implications.), Greece 1860 and before (Volo reps ancient greek style), and maybe just world history in a Japan-centric fashion.  Other nationalities that may be relevant are Britain (Laventon is Galarian) who was colonizing like mad at the time (india, japan, north america), The US (which traded a lot w/ japan exactly in 1860 as ports opened- see Soap products and English entering japan.), whatever the protagonist’s country/ancestry contains,

and, as my husband and I have discussed with each other, possibly India. Raichu’s pokédex entry retcons India out in Legends, referencing a Galarian pokémon- which.....Britain heavily conquered India at the time, which is why the curry is A Thing and really big there.
