>>57991874 (OP)
After two months of painstaking hard work, I am pleased to announce that the archive is now back up, with sections dedicated to the works of all of our major contributors across this thread's one and a half year lifespan. I couldn't have done it without my accomplice Gene, who seamlessly picked up wherever I left off in this ordeal.

I am so proud of everything that you all have made. It is a testament to our resilience and creativity. Thank you for making /tog/ and its archives the special places that they are.

I am now going to bed.

I wasnt posting the latest updates because I was helping him organize the mega.
>>57991925
You still did way more than I, remembering and knowing who was by which anon and what not
anyway, update

David

Is this just a place where you dump your Pokémon OCs?

>>57991996
Pretty much, you post your trainer OC, either drawn, AI generated if you dont have the skills to draw(yet), or use anything to represent it, talk about it, of its story or be basically a writing exercise.

>>57992009
...they don't even share a universe or anything? How is that supposed to keep an entire general going?

>>57992019
We do, it just depends on how is the mood of each other, Sometimes it's just solo stories, sometimes we agree upon something, some story, some activity or just an anon wanting to draw the OC of other anon alongside their own OC. We don't have a hard canon compared to, like, scarlet verse or any other fan project that was created in these forums.

>>57992019
If your OC is hot enough other people will interact with you. Maybe you'll get art.

>>57991925
>>57991956
you two are wonderful thank you!

>>57992019
No but we have crossovers

>>57991874 (OP)
>TQ
>Quartz
I have not given it much thought as to what kind of books Quartz likes to read, but if there are any, it might be manga. His hobbies related to Pokémon Contests keep him pretty busy.
>Darius
As a keeper of lore, he reads all the time, but he most likes reading about history, occult knowledge, anything that will give him more knowledge, folklore, etc. He doesn't like wasting his time on fiction, though.
>Eifnr
He only reads about his family history; otherwise, he doesn't do a lot of reading.
>>57991925
>File is named Quartz and friends
>Has Gabriel on it
Haha, I was actually worried that because I separated them in posts before, I was breaking some kind of rule, but yeah, I also own Gabriel, but he is in a different campaign than Quartz and the others.
>TQ Gabriel
Gabriel doesn't read too well since he spent a few years as a Pokémon and has amnesia from the time before that. He reads mostly to try and relearn how to read and write.

>>57992062
Do you ever… develop the characters?

>>57992178
Develop in what way? Because stories and art are ways to develop a character.

>>57992191
Give them new Pokémon, have them grow as people, let them age? Anything of the sort.

>>57992194
Well, I already have a path, or a prototype for my character. I'm mainly trying to get myself to replay Gen 4, and maybe investigate to play Gen 5 to 7.
I could see a playthrough online, but I feel Pokémon is one of those games you need to play to get.
I'll probably do that with Gen 8 and 9, no way I'm downloading a whole ass emulator to play those games, that have DLC that lock what we called "postgame".
In Gen 10, I'm retiring him for sure.

>>57992211
Are you going to play through the games as him and write about it?

>>57992232
Sort of. I replayed Gen 1 to 3 many times, but I haven't touch 4 too much, and I haven't played the spin offs (unless you want to count PK: Pinball).
The idea was that he comes from Hoenn, travels around, some things happen to him, he settles down in Gen 9, and by 10 he properly retires.
Gen 11 I will start it with a full new OC, completely separated from the first.

>>57991956
I am just surprised Quartz made it this far. Without Hiver's help, he is pretty much helpless, except for his keen mind in game theory.

>>57992178
yes to varying degrees. Someone of us play our characters in ttrpgs my character Luke has aged from 17-32 in the campaign I played him in, I'm also writing a novelization of that campaign which is pretty fun to do.

Others will update how their character dresses or looks or add pokemon to their team every now and then. I think we all do something with our characters in one way or another

>>57991874 (OP)
Quartzanon here. I was looking through the Mega, and inside the Athena folder is one of my OCs. the one with the red eyes. She is the daughter of my OC Darius, named Albâtre
In the Cyril folder, there is a screenshot of Gabriel's Pokemon.
Also in the Quartz folder is a Kirlia that is unrelated to the one Quartz hands around. It is file yidcg9.2.png
Hope that helps out somewhat.

>>57992178
This is an updated token for my OC Quartz. I leaned into the Black Butler reference a bit hard on this one; he struck a deal with his starter, Hiver, and she could place a symbol on his body as a form of contract between them. She is a very powerful Pokémon, but to balance it out, her power is sealed. Quartez wanted all of her power, so he had the symbol, an X (From the Roman alphabet, Chi), placed on his eye. I'd say that's quite the development. Quartz started his journey as a bit of a doormat, but now he'll sass you back and has way more of a backbone.

Been thinking about posting the OCs from my fanfictions here. So far they are a Final Fantasy 1 x Pokemon story, a paranormal comedy detective story, and an edgy hyper violent hybrid one shot. Do any of those sound interesting?

>>57992310
Man, I wish I knew people to play Pokémon TTRPG campaigns with.

>>57992385
A crossover you say? How much I need to know from each?
I mean, I know a lot of Pokémon, but I haven't played the first Final Fantasy. Not even the GBA remake. But I was always curious, since you have sword nunchuks in that one.

>>57991956
>David survives
In the words of Ricardo Diaz: I lived! Dickheads!
>*Passes out*

opinions on twins?

>>57993039
Quartz is a twin, so I am biased. But twins are awesome. They have this strong bond that goes beyond just being siblings. In fiction, you can have all kinds of mojo going with them, too. In Quartz and Cobalt's case, they have been resetting the world line to save each other because fate keeps killing one of them off, and when one of them dies, the other one gets all of the other's power.

>>57992405
The sword nunchucks are a meme, they are from a fan comic not the game sorry to say, but now that you've remided me of them I'm going to put a reference to them in the story.

As for the fic, FF1's plot is so basic that all the characters have only a handful of lines each. I pretty much made OCs with their names to fill out their characters. The MC isn't even named in game so he's a wholesale OC.

I tried to write it so that the story is enjoyable with no knowledge of FF. It's pretty much a pokemon story set in a classic fantasy setting. Tragedy strikes a kingdom and a knight and his blastoise set out to save the world.

>>57993159
good, I hope you like more of them

>>57991925
Yo Alexm I saw your character's Mystery Dungeon design. What a sick design. My OC Eifnr was also of the sneasel line when he got trapped in the PMD world.

>>57991874 (OP)
Louisanon here. I blame gundams this time.

>Thread question: What kind of books does your OC like to read?
Imported historical fiction. Cheap novels about the Ransei era, stuff set in fantastic versions of Qin, etc.

>Writing task: Your OC is trying to recruit a new Pokémon, write how they try to catch it or how they gain its favor.
Working on this in the chapter I'm actually working on, off-and-on.

>>57992019
>>57992178
I'm cool with my guy being in roughly the same setting, but it's just I chose an out of the way region (Orre) for him to pop up in and am doing my own take on how it's going this far along in the timeline. I've got a few chapters of his story done, but want to get more finished before I really start posting it.

>>57993039
Potentially entertaining, but I prefer elder/younger sibling dynamics. It's part of why Louis is being written as having a younger sister who went fairy specialist, while he prefers poison and steel.

>>57992385
Oh hey FFanon. Go ahead.

I have gone too deep

>>57993763
What did you find?

>>57993857
a whole lot of work

>>57993896
Damn. I hope you can tackle all of it. Or ask if you need any help.

>>57993357
Heya. Might as well share some then.

Wol: The second strongest knight in the Kingdom of Corneria whose silent competence as a leader of men is greatly respected. Chosen partner of Blastoise, one of the kingdom's legendary pokemon, he struggles to put to words his own self doubt with the lofty responsibilities he has found himself with. Content to live in the shadow of his gifted best friend after always falling just short in talent, but as betrayal threatens to tear the kingdom apart he finds himself the only one able to answer the call of a legendary prophecy.

I'll share more later.

>>57992394
If I can get my own games I'm running wrapped up. I've been thinking of a play-by-post game to maintain our anonymity since people round these parts are adverse to Discord (for good reason)

What's the default template for most OCs here?

>>57994308
Fuck it, I'm doing all of them.

>>57993928

Tobio: The Assistant Detective of the Celadon Extranormal Detective Agency, which is odd because he is the only person that works at the small office. The conclusion he comes to is that the real detective has somehow been erased from his memories by one of the paranormal threats the agency often deals with. Now the former conman and his ball of sunshine Poochyena must simultaneously unravel the ghostly conspiracy targeting a young woman and piece together the incoherent clues left behind by his nonexistent boss.

>>57993218
Are you going to put a guy super obsessed with killing chaos/put the Strangers of paradise lore in there
(yes strangers of paradise is kind of a prequel to FF 1 canonically)

>>57994738
I'm aware of Strangers of Paradise, but I haven't played it myself so no. I'm using mostly the NES version as a basis without some of the major changes made by any of the remakes (looking at you, Flying Fortress). Along with some obscure sources for references, like Captain N or the japanese novelizations. Other than that I'm taking a LOT of liberties to fill out the events of the story and setting to work with pokemon. Not so much that it would be completely unrecognizable to anybody who has played FF1, but enough so that somebody completely unaware of Final Fantasy can enjoy it as medieval fantasy pokemon story.

But you know, you've inspired me to maybe throw in "We're here to KILL Mewtwo."

>>57994639
>>57993928
There must be a lot more to these guys; it kind of reads like a small part of a bigger story. Col's brother, the young woman Tobio is helping, both of their Pokémon. How did Tobio get his job, and why did he stop being a conman?

>>57991874 (OP)
>>57987560
>>57987707
I like it. I think that the color scheme of her bottoms matches much better with her outfit. Beefcake Ivy was funny but I think the way that you softened her figure, it makes her design work better. I like both the old and new shirts and I think Ivy might change between them occasionally. It seems like you're going for a cross of "streetwear", nurse, and "formal-ish" attire. Now I'm going to review her shopping list.
>New shorts
I like the reference to the BW fem-protag with the coloration. The color also just feels more natural.
>New belt
Awesome. Definitely an upgrade.
>Frilly fist guards
I welcome the frills, but I'd make the red pink, personally.
>Frilly thigh highs
They're certainly more feminine, but I feel like the old socks were more... athletic?
>New Hat
I like the idea of that star being Ivy's sort of "personal" logo, but I'm not sure if the red clashes with the rest of her outfit.
>New top
I like this one because it looks just a little bit more formal to contrast with her old outfit. She could maybe wear this to stuff like gym battles while her shirt with the pocket could be more "formal"
>Pumps
I'd make them pink, personally.
>Heal Balls
It makes sense for her occupation. However, I'm not sure if the color scheme matches up exactly with the rest of her outfit. She may want to paint a custom color combination with the same pattern. It could be a way of showing how she makes stuff for her Pokemon.
>Thong
...I don't know how I feel about it.
>///<
Bibi-moding again?
I like that you didn't shoehorn asymmetry, but I'm just a bit iffy on the inclusion of such a vibrant red because imo it kind of conflicts with the more pastel-ish shirt and pants. If you want to lean more into the “mature and feminine” aspects you could give her some jewelry maybe some cute bracelets, necklace, or a navel piercing (yes I am biased but I do think she’d look good with one and it would help bring out the more feminine figure of her redesign)

>>57994876
Col's brother isn't super important, but Wol's best friend is.

Garland: The leader of the Royal Knights division of the Cornerian knighthood, Garland and his partner Charizard have remained undefeated in battle since childhood. But the charismatic young knight in training's pride and confidence never turned to arrogance thanks to his best friends Wol and Blastoise always keeping up one step behind him, and the critical reprimands from Princess Sarah and Venusaur. But after revealing to Wol that a terrifying vision of some approaching calamity has been haunting his dreams he begins to grow distant. With growing desperation he sets a desperate plan in motion protect his friends and home.

As for Tobio's client.

Josalyn: For an appointment she can't remember with who or why, she arrives at the detective agency in the hopes of dispelling a deep sense of loss and dread that has been looming over her. To her dismay she only finds an unprepared Tobio who attempts to introduce her to the world of the paranormal as professionally as possible. Though hardly a skeptic, she and her shiny raticate Amore are practical enough to be wary of scams. And savvy enough to cut her loses and leave when a digital demon trapped on the agency's computer interrupts their conversation in an attempt to possess her. Too bad Tobio is likely the only thing that stands between her and a phantom out for blood.

And you're right about being parts of a larger story. If you're really curious, I've already posted several chapters of each of their stories.

I'll share more details here if you'd like that, I'm here to talk about the characters after all.

>>57994876
>>57995088
Now to answer your questions.

Wol starts the story with only a Blastoise, but so far he's gotten a Hitmonchan, Chansey, and Vileplume on his team. Pretty much, since there are six classes in FF1 he is going to have a pokemon for each of them. Blastoise as the Warrior/Knight, Hitmonchan as the Monk, Chansey as the White Mage/Cleric, and Vileplume as the Black Mage/Wizard. I've got two more mons planned for his final team, but that would be spoilers.

Tobio only has his Poochyena as the detective is not a battler. The dark type is the friendliest puppy in the world and will happily burn or electrify its tongue to give a friendly lick to anybody. And while more of a lover than a fighter it will firmly stand its ground against the non-pokemon ghouls and specters that the agency has to deal with. Despite its antics, its a surprisingly polite puppy. It makes sure that its goofy shenanigans only ever inconvenience Tobio and never the clients.

As for why he stopped being a conman... Its fairly simple. The detective agency gave him a chance to use his skills of charismatic manipulation and quick thinking to leave a life of crime behind. He can't remember how it happened, but he feels a debt of gratitude that could only be for the detective that was erased. So the only thing to do is find them regardless of the dangers. He ain't gonna lose to some memory loss.

>>57959892
So I worked out the kinks of my OC's backstory, but then opened up a whole other can of worms with how the overall story of the region plays out. The Player (Protagonist) is sent 10 years into the future by a Pokémon with dominion over Time (Arceus/Dialga/Celebi) and has to continue their journey as if nothing happened, but they learn gradually about their predicament. The Rival (my OC) suffered a number of crushing defeats against the Player & in fact lost one of their Pokémon during their "final" battle against each other (likely either their Morpeko or Weavile- which causes serious, gutting trauma) leading them to changing their entire Type Specialty from Dark to Poison to mitigate all of Dark's weaknesses, becoming the 8th & final Gym Leader of the Region (possibly Unova?) after Roxie leaves the Gym to pursue her career as a Rock Star- but returns after the Rival- whom I'll call Magenta for simplicity's sake, requests their return (or maybe Klara? Idk) in order to challenge the Pokémon League to become the Champion and final challenge in their shared journey. The Rival's Starter will depend on the Type chosen by the Player as usual- but those wouldn't be the official starters of the region obviously.

>>57995384
So, this means he will recognize us (the player) in the 10 year timeskip, or the trauma happens during the future timeline?

Considering posting OCs as I finish them instead of all together (despite them being a group) to prevent spam...

>>57995088
>>57995124
I actually found the archive when I searched "Celadon Extranormal Detective Agency," but I didn't want to agree to the terms of service.
I hope Wol's adventure is going well. Is it following the FF1 story beat by beat, or did it diverge from it?
And does Tobio have any leads yet?

>>57991956
https://files.catbox.moe/w76fci.png
NExt part of the event, nothing much going on after that whole monkey mutt thing.

>>57996049
Quartz won a fight because he had the high ground. He held onto the moral high ground, too, by choosing to spare someone's life.

>>57995722
Yes, Champion Magenta will recognize you (the player) when they meet at the Pokémon League, but it's intended that the Player not immediately recognize their Rival until it's subtly revealed through dialogue- and then explicitly after the battle. And no, the trauma from losing their Sneasel (decided to un-evolve the Weavile making it to where they never got to use the Razor Claw on it, and ended up finding a Hisuian Sneasel to use it on instead) is what spurs them on to change their type specialty and get stronger, but then the Player goes missing because of the 10 year time travel, and without the losses to the player constantly holding them back- they're able to excel and achieve their status as Gym Leader- but upon hearing that they've "returned", that prompts them to relinquish their Gym to their Disciple & become the Champion before the Player has a chance to.
And yes, time changes a lot of things-

>>57996035
For Wol, well is relative. His story is going to hit every story beat of the original, but the details of why events play out the way they do are fleshed out to suit a story about Pokemon. So if you read like a wiki summary of the story you will know stuff like 'They defeat the pirates and gain a ship, meet a blind witch, meet the dwarves, discover the cursed elf prince, head to the marsh caves to find a crown...' but the actual specifics will be played around with.

For example, the blind witch Matoya in the original games? Matoya is a hex maniac black mage living with the white mage Joy of Pravoka in a pokemon TM (Type Magic) shop they own together. She tends yo an exotic garden behind the shop with her Paras which they use as ingredients for the TMs they sell. But she insists that she is not a witch. That would be her cranky mother, who lives in cave to the north. And her mother is in fact an wise, powerful, and sassy blind Vileplume who has been attacked, cursed, and robbed by an unknown dark elf. Refusing to sit around and rot away while Wol attempts to find a way to save her she joins him as one of the prophesied Pokemon of Light.

But as for well, Wol is suffering from grief of the events of the chaos temple as best as he can. He is also doing his best to protect Princess Sarah's younger sister, Jane Corneria the Second and her pikachu, who immediately ran away from home to follow him on an adventure. She is dealing with her own grief, and despite being an energetic brat the two end up supporting each other as an older brother younger sister sort of relationship. Especially because Jane already assumes the clueless Wol is going to marry her sister Sarah.

>>57996035
For Tobio and leads, the first lead is Josalyn herself. She arrives the same day as he realizes his memory has been altered with memory problems of her own and assumes that this can't be a coincidence. Which is why her deciding she wants nothing to do with the paranormal mere minutes after arriving is a problem. He follows her out into the hallway of the office complex the agency is housed in to try and convince her to stick around. Only for them to be immediately attacked outside the office by... The ghost of Gym Leader Erika?! But she isn't even dead!

>>57996213
Instead of "Type Magic" you could use "Tome Move" to account for Physical Attacks. Instead of your typical compact disc it can be a book colored appropriately for each type.

>>57996308
In the setting, all moves are considered a form of magic. Physical moves are just a pokemon's powers expressed through physical forms. And TMs come in a lot of different forms. Single use potions and scrolls, reusable tomes and artifacts, etc... A tome would more likely be a collection of reusable TMs.

>>57996186
I see

>>57996325
Oh, this sounds neat. Sooner or later I will download a NES emulator and play the original FFs. It's been also a long time since I played games like Contra and Robotek. Oh, maybe I can play the original Megami Tensei games, or Metroid. Not having a good map (if at all) is going to suck, tho.

>>57996836
Yeah, I never actually played the OG NES version of FF myself. Fake fan lmao. I'm a big fan of the series as a whole and decided that FF1 would be a good place to start when it comes to writing a pokemon fanfic for it. Its so barebones that you get a lot of freedom in interpreting it, which is apparent for the different interpretations the first game has gotten in different remakes and spinoffs.

Wol is actually named after the protagonist Wol from FF Mobius, a phone game that got discontinued that does an alternate tale involving Garland and Sarah and all that. Pretty much the world is prophesized to be saved by a man name Wol, so there is just a constant wave of guys named Wol being isekai'd to the setting in masse. So the majority of NPCs you meet in the game are actually other guys named Wol.

>>57996005
I guess I may as well post the first guy then

Why does this read like a speed dating profile?

I am playing Pokémon Grey today, and while Quartz and Team Warpstar are still in the distortion world, I get to play Darius. We finally left the tower and got off next to Unova Route 20. The new party got the Pokémon from Team Warpstar's PC, who were thought lost until now. They had been transported to the PMD world and have been on an adventure there, and now those Pokémon return as part of this new team. Darius has one of Quartz's Pokémon, a Patrat named Eyeke, One of Mocchi's Pokémon (the player we kicked out), a Solosis named Goodberry. And a Rowlet named Rowline, who is naturally born from the PMD world.
At long last, the Pokémon journey in Unova can get back on track!

>>57997243
All OCs are for horny purposes, don't let anybody ever tell you otherwise.

>>57991874 (OP)
Honored to have made the OP, but my vote went to Luke personally. He deserves a spotlight for his hard work <3 Also great job on the updated archives, I can tell a lot of time and effort went into sorting everything.
>Thread question: What kind of books does your OC like to read?
Despite her appearances, Ivy is quite studious and often reads text books about medicine or other pokemon aid related topics. She's not the naturally intelligent type, so she works hard to keep up when it comes to book smarts in her field and loves keep tabs on Pokemon with healing capabilities in her notebook. Besides that, Ivy's subscription to "Machamp & Fitness" magazine keeps her up to date on all the latest fitness trends and pictures of muscular men and Pokemon. She loves a good macho publication.
>Drawing Task: Draw your OC as if they are from another IP, could be Digimon, could be monster hunter, etc.
In honor of the new Panty and Stocking season coming out, enjoy Ivy in that style
>>57990455
>Is she tough enough to spar with Pokémon?
Sure is. I like to imagine the black belt trainers regularly train and spar with their pokemon and Ivy's no exception. Hitmonchan is her main sparring partner, but she often likes to compete with her other Pokemon in other ways too, like racing or other physical feats. In her epilogue Alola arc, she also manages to subdue a Buzzwole in combat and catch it, adding another sparring partner to her roster.
>>57995384
Wow Magenta really went full send after losing one of her mons, she's barely recognizable after the fact. Really cool backstory though. I'm a huge sucker for different variants of a team based on starter choice too. Just wait until she learns about Dark AND Poison types.
>>57996186
>ended up finding a Hisuian Sneasel to use it on instead
I think losing her original sneasel only to replace it with a poison type instead is a really great idea. I love how her resentment of the player fuels her motivation

>>57995048
I wasn't expecting such comprehensive feedback lol thanks, appreciate it. I'll explain my thought process behind some of the design choices
>Frilly thigh highs
I thought it was an easy way to soften her up overall and make her a bit more girly. Fun fact, I added the frills on the fist guards to match the ones I put on the socks. So in a chicken and egg situation, thigh highs came first.
>Star logo
I'm not entirely sold on the star logo desu, especially cuz Miko has a heavier star motif. I meant for it to be a kind of an alternate take on a red cross (four points), just felt appropriate to give her some sort of emblem. I considered making it a half pokeball design to ground her in the Pokemon world more, but truthfully just got lazy and didn't want to go back and change it.
>New Top
Changing out her outfit/mixing and matching is a good idea, especially for a girl who's interested in fashion
>Red pumps
I originally had her wearing some form of pink boots/footwear, and it just felt off to me. I think the red on her feet and fists in contrast to her overall pink appearance is a good signifier that those are her "weapons" so to speak. The accents on her top and headgear are there to tie it all together. And it's not like red wasn't a part of her color palate prior. Red and pink go together imo, very valentine-y
>Thong
Just some classic fighting game character spice of adding unnecessary sex appeal :P
>Heal Balls
Painting a custom pokeball isn't really her style. When it comes to superficial things, she's not really a crafty type of person. She much prefers to buy things already made and wouldn't spend the time it takes to DIY, she's much to impatient for that. That's not to say she won't mix up her own medicines or make a protein shake for her mons, she always has time for fixing up others or getting stronger. Besides, they're too practical and cheap for her not to love them.

>>57997330
I feel I could make a Kayda joke, but that horse has been dead a looooooong time.

Pokémon Grey ended with us arriving at Pokémon school. Darius and his team will be teaching the four on the left. Darius is going to be training Cobalt (not knowing that Cobalt is actually way stronger than he is). I look forward to the next session; this one ended too soon for me!

>>57997330
>>57997473

>>57997424
>Just wait until she learns about Dark AND Poison types.
I specifically avoided using any combination Poison/Dark-Types because it would mute the whole dynamic Type change if the character didn't completely shed that aspect that resulted in her many defeats, & eventual loss of her Sneasel.
>losing her original sneasel only to replace it with a poison type instead
I wouldn't say replace, moreso like- after befriending/catching the Hisuian Sneasel & seeing that it doesn't struggle with the same Type disadvantages as the original, she decides to box her Dark party & pursue a more stable & harmonic team that relies on each other (like Toxic Spikes setup for Venoshock or Hex) I feel like the nostalgic familiarity & fondness for the new Sneasel & her excitement for battle, reignited that desire to keep fighting- and get back on her feet and aim for the top, even if it means crawling at first.
>she's barely recognizable after the fact
I'm glad to hear that

Good morning, /tog/. Let's have a great week!

Midge update: It's her birthday. It is also International Be Nice To Bugs Day.

>>57998835
Or I guess its National not International. Either way, spend some time with your buggies (buddies) today!

>>57998189
>I specifically avoided using any combination Poison/Dark-Types because it would mute the whole dynamic
Could be a big epiphany moment for her to realize while poison might cover dark's weaknesses, dark can cover poison's weakness as well (Psychic)

>>57998962
serves her right for poisoning Luke

>>57998962
I thought the Monokuma image was going to signal Quartz's body, a reference to the Danganronpa-like arc he went through. Glad to see my boy is still in it.

>/tog/ artwork
Love this by the way! Hate to say it but two pictures of one of my miscellaneous characters made it into Midge's folder. Thanks again for the hard work put into this!

>>57999075
>>57999749
I did consider using an Overqwil at one point but I really wanted to use Toxapex and given the choice between the two, I'd always go with Toxapex- and the other 3 feel like they break the overall theme of the party. And I think getting defeated as the champion for the same reason will be very humbling for her character.
>>57999754
>>57999788
The timid, shy version comes first- there is a 10 year time gap between the two versions, and there was a 3 year period during which they couldn't get over what'd happened- but it was also around that time when they encountered their Hisuian Sneasel and it made an impact on her life to help in her character development.
It was during that time that they became a disciple of the region's Poison-Type Gym which was eventually handed over to her.

>>57999880
>>57999932
She was pretty broken to begin with, losing her Sneasel was only the tipping point.
>swears revenge
She already got her revenge. Haven't decided between these two scenarios yet- but it turns out that she's responsible for the Player being sent 10 years into the future. (I know this isn't how it works in-game but-) Space Time Distortions pop up occasionally (haven't decided why yet) and similarly to how Pokémon that appear in them vanish along with the Distortions, the Player is either:
Shoved into the Distortion just as it's closing by a shadowy figure (the Rival), or-
The Player & Rival are exploring/investigation a Distortion when it begins to close, and either trips or abandons the Player inside the Distortion after they're able to get out safely. The guilt causes some major changes to their character both good & bad. With their Rival & their greatest obstacle out of the way, they're able to excel and achieve things they weren't previously able to due to discouragement, coming into their own as a successful and well know Gym Leader & member of the Pokémon League. It's only after the Player reappears 10 years later does the trauma kick back in and she has the sudden desire to fight her way to the top again tooth & nail in order to stay ahead of her Rival. She requests the return of the original Gym Leader and leaves the Gym in their hands.

>>57999880
>Welcome Back Phos

>redhead Aeon Flux
Damn, I'm learning things about my character that I didn't even know myself, got a be real I came up with all this while I was high. I'll take it as a compliment though, I feel like there's still a lot in body the story & characters that need ironing out. And Harley Quinn & Junko Enoshima were major inspirations for the visual design, the overall character was moreso based on myself. I haven't actually seen Land of the Lustrous or Æon Flux but I've been meaning to- wouldn't be the first time I came up with something without any external inspiration that turned out to already exist, it's rare to have na idea that wasn't inspired by an outside source.

>>58000530
>Wouldn't be the first time I came up with something without any external inspiration that turned out to already exist
Hey, don't beat yourself so hard about it. Only because characters look similar, it doesn't mean the story is not worth telling.
The story of Phos is completely different to your OC. The only similarity is the "I can fix her" vibe. After that, they are very distint from each other.
Hell, the looks are different for starters: while yours is more "goth punk", Phos is more into "sexy underground". I could post images, but I'm busy right now. Don't worry, your OC is fine, we just remembered some similar events with an old one.

>>58000587
Yeah I read up on Phos' character progression & while I did see a few similarities, Magenta wasn't nearly as innocent and naive as Phos- I appreciate the feedback, thanks.
Also- when I was trying to get the A.I. to design my character I didn't really know a good prompt for how the Tattoo should come out, I do have a similar tattoo in that spot IRL but I'm strongly considering changing it to be an orchid-colored Biohazard symbol, to be that much more thematic to the Poison-Type motif.

Quartz made it far. Him being overpowered makes sense, given his stats. Without his Pokémon by his side, he is lacking the protection he has grown used to.

Just for clarification purposes, we’re not talking about the gem anime, but rather another OC made by an anon who used to run the archives and was an excellent writer. Their work is in the new archives under the Ex-Archivist folder if you’re interested.

>>58000587
>"sexy underground"
Now that Ivy got a thong, I have to say that I'm surprised Phos never had one. It would have been fitting based on the Aeon Flux thing. Hell it's probably the exact kind of outfit that you would expect to be paired with a thong.

>>58002398
She had leather, she didn't need it to show off.

If anything I though he would die first, regardless in these kinds of simulators everything goes random.
>>58000530
its fine, so long it doesnt feel like you are ripping off whole backstories or the intentions/motivations of a character are different I doubt you should be worried about that.

>>58003597
>Why not an orange or a lemon?
You see: a tangerine is a sweet orange. The sweetness gives the consumer hope and positivity while making the spirit stronger.
A lemon is a bitter fruit, because a hybrid between a BITTER ORANGE, AND A CITRON!
Which means LIFE NEVER GAVE US LEMONS! WE MADE THEM, ALL BY OURSELVES!!! ONLY THOSE WORTHY CAN TRULY UNDERSTAND THE POWERS OF THE LEMON!

>>58003597
>Stepped on a landmine
Why do I feel they baited him with something like an Iono pic or plushie?

>>58003597

Considering that everything is hinging on who lives and who dies, I think is better to stay far from places with lots of supplies. That's how I reached Ace Dominator over time.

Didn't grymanon ask for their art and characters to not be uploaded to the new mega when they left?

>>58006038
The “new” Mega is a direct copy of the .zip that Archivist dropped at the end of his crashout, and before that Grymanon also said that he would not ask for his content to be deleted. No “new” folder has been created, the Mega just got reorganized, but it’s still the same one from before.

>>58005902
>you reminded me of this video
Yup, I was making a reference to that one. Watch 40K lore, and you end up with memes and animations.

>You were resting for your next move
>Forces others to kill so he doesn't get at risk
>Teams up so battles aren't hard
>Helps one guy to kill him later
>Helps the girl he forced to commit murder
>Mostly stays in his line, or wandering around

So far I'm the most neutral MF in this place. I know I must kill, but either I force somebody else, or I do it with others. Man, that sanity question was right, this doesn't look like any sane plan.
Also, doing the OP task: dress your character like if it was from another franchise
I pick to reference Kazuya from Shin Megami Tensei 1, before the nukes.

Finally gotten off of my lazy ass and organized Star Platinum's stuff so I think I really am finished with this now.

I have an idea: next time you get writing, maybe write a very short story about Ivy going clothes shopping with her Pokemon. This way, you have an in-universe explanation for her new clothing. and don't forget to write about the thong

Hello again, it's been awhile. Honestly i don't think i did good here. But at least i was able to get the prologue out before The presents tomorrow which will 100% destroy any canonicity this fic could have. The reason this toke way too long is because i just spent most of my time thinking on how i can write an interesting pokemon battle. And the fight between Atrozity and Vinnie was the best i could come up with. Sorry if it disappoints.

>>58021354
Is ok. It sets a good prologue. I can imagine "Atrocity" as Pocky from Mother 3.
If you never played that game, he is basically a literal giant kid, over 10000 years old that can only move in a giant robot carriage. He can't move at all but possesses a great mind, so he managed to amase a personal army, mutant chimeras, and robot servants/protectors. He even managed to travel through time.

>>58021199
>>58020893

Well, I'm off to bed. I hope you guys have a great Presents, I will most likely check the board after the whole debacle.

>>58021354(me)
So i reread this and wow, made a lot of grammatical mistakes. I'll go fix them up now.
>>58021501
I know about him, though that's not really what i'm going for. Then again i'm still not sure whether or not i want Atrozity to live or die at the end of this story.

>>58022419
Okay so apparently the edit code the site gave me is invalid. The presents could be starting any minute so i'll deal with this later.

MEGA DRAGONITE

>>58023470
I do not like the design desu, its just wings on its head

So, did the recent announcements make you guys reshuffle the teams of your OCs? I know it made me do that, but I'll still wait for Z-A to release so I can have a final verdict.

And yes, some of those Pokémon mean what you think they do. If Game Freak can pamper Cynthia and Lillie with cool stuff, then I won't waste my chances either.

Lol no dying yet.

>>58025163
Kinda, it depends what direction i'm taking him in. Still not sure which way to go.

bumping with some sketches of Ivy sparring with her Pokemon

>>58025163
If the leaks are real, Miko has a few mons that have the potential to mega, including dragonite. I wonder if I should give him a mega arc at some point

Keep it up

>>58025163
I just woke up. Still, after I get enough info, maybe I'll think about it. I've been toying with the idea that, when he reaches Kalos, he will do a full new Pokémon run.

>>58028213
Pretty girl. But who's the giant bird with her? Altaria?

>>58025163
Well I am personally rejoicing at mega Hydra, but otherwise being stuck to choose between mega Lure and mega Lurk is the best suffering from success situation I could ask for

>>58025163
Louis still has the same initial trio as his-

Beedrill starter back at home, and Zubat and A. Sandshrew as the two with him. Still penciled in are a Varoom, a Normal Togepi, an Aron, and a Phantump. Shuffling stuff around, he might wind up with a Gligar if the Varoom turns into a ride 'mon.

>>58029023
All I saw so far was a lot about a black girl being back, and one of the old characters having a daughter (but is all theory). Also, some old bad guys returning as reformed good guys.
Also, a mega for Dragonite. But after that, nothing at all.

You mean Emma? She looks more Algerian than black. There actual black character introduced and people are saying that he looks like a lady... he also has Scraggy/Scrafty as his ace lmao.
>Did we get another Groudon this year? Again?
Well, Mega Dnite is (first and foremost, a total monstrosity meta-wise) indirect confirmation that the leaks were real. We also got a new fujobait/yumebait Yakuza guy... why the fuck is the Yakuza in France? Also the professor is ex-Team Flare.
>>58027300
I think it would be very funny if Miko just randomly stumbles upon a Mega Stone and doesn't know what it does for a while, then he quits searching for Gimmighoul coins temporarily in order to find a Key Stone. Classic "youngster possesses power that he doesn't quite understand".
>>58025163
As of now, it's hard to say. I'm quite happy with how Alex's team is but I've always liked the idea of giving him a Mega, the Megas currently available were either strong but unfitting or fitting but not very strong.
Excadrill, Scolipede, Falinks, and Dragalge are all owned already but the two big ones are Chandelure and Greninja because they seem to be the fastest and most offensive ones (though he doesn’t actually have a Greninja currently because I thought it was too cliche and he already has Hisuian Samurott). The two candidates that could be replaced are Glimmora and Aegislash, both for being too slow, but losing the former would damage his ability to set hazards and losing the latter would make his defenses weaker. I will just have to see the new Mega stats.
And now that I mention it, I think that like half the thread now doesn’t know what his team is even like or that I use stats in my writing. I’ve been here for so fucking long…

So how has it been for you all? Alongside University and doing the hunger games, I ended up delving into the Persona gacha that came out last month and the horse girl gacha. Beyond that, nothing much to say... besides me today sending my controller to the technician to try to fix some drift in one of the joysticks.

Not like I do, but I enjoy having free time and say "I did nothing."
I guess that's something you get when you get older.
On the gaming side, I finished Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (all 4 modes), I finished Robotrek for the SNES, and now I'm replaying SMT 1, hoping I get to fight the Pale Rider and finish my Demon Library.
Also, PUBG is having a Transformer crossover, and I've been having "You got the Touch" and "What I've Done" on a loop inside my head.

Well, that was dissapointing. Let's hope ZA comes fast enough so we don't get too sad about it.

I have to sell something that shouldn't be so important to me in a few hours. I'll get over it, but it will take time.

Or maybe I'll get over it by the end of the day. Not in a happy way, but just because I've resigned so much that I barely feel anything anymore.

Always remember. Don't smile because it happened. Cry because it's over.

>>58033030
What was it? if you dont mind me asking

>>58028213
Her pokemon being called the golden miseries and all being shiny is a nice touch
>>58029485
I'm afraid to ask what would make a togepi not normal. All these mons feel pretty fitting for Louis though.
>>58031213
>funny if Miko just randomly stumbles upon a Mega Stone
I could see that happening, he or one of his pokemon stumbling upon and pocketing a pretty rock. To Miko, if it's shiny it's gotta have some sort of value. Although, even if he were to learn the truth about it, I don't think it would be enough to derail his gimmighoul hunt until he found enough coins to evolve it. (To be honest, he doesn't even know for what purpose he's collecting the coins in the first place. He just knows it's important to gimmighoul and its fun for him. He thinks they're related to the coins you win at casinos somehow.) Funny enough, I did sketch this up before a work meeting yesterday. [picrel]

it was a fucking couch. been with me since at least the start of middle school, maybe earlier. just kind of got old and is too much of a hassle to move around. just like me and my existence. just sold it a few minutes ago. will be getting rid of some other stuff that i don't need later today.

i like the color black more but i think the next one i get is going to be brown, just so i can remind myself of it, for now i just have an ivory colored futon

if i were a more positive person i would probably write some wankshit about "renewal" and "letting things go" but i just do not see it that way and that is not what i am feeling

anyways since people are still kind of here i may as well announce my plans going forward. it is common practice for artists to reissue their old catalog. once i finish with a project for another fandom i will be working on two unfinished stories from the start of this year to include in a compilation that includes remastered versions of the EIF fanshits, and i may also release separately a rewritten version of the raphael interview and a teaser for the novel that i am working on. to anywho still remembers, you'll probably have to wait until 2026 to read it.

as ridiculous as all of this sounds it is a necessity for me emotionally and corporeally to deal with all of this before finally getting back to my main work. if i continue writing after this, my plans are, in order, to write a bio document which contains an extended anthology of alex's life among other things, to write both a normal and fantasy take on the jacques story, to write the first chapter of alex's fantasy stuff, and lastly a potentially a self-insert take on the jaques story.

if i continue writing, that is. i may just quit writing after releasing my novel to either pursue artwork freely or just go back to gaming since i miss it a lot. i still love this place but i just can't bring myself to produce content or visit as much as i used to.

>>58034433
I see. I can understand why it can affect you. A couch is one of those sacred things a man has growing up.
I remember I had a buddy who had to get rid of his couch, but he didn't sold it: he burned it.
Turns out he got really popular with the ladies, and that couch has seen a lot of action. But when he got married, things changed.
He spoke of all this crying, and I was like "dude, please tell me it was clean when you invited us at your place."

>>58034537
as I predicted I didn't actually feel much. though, I moved rather quickly to fill its place, so I guess my desire to just bury it means it probably did affect me in some way. It is a rite of passage for a man to sell his old things because he needs money, and I am ordinary, unremarkable, etc, and thus no different. Though, the past two or three days were probably more stressful for me now that I think about it.

>>58033938
>I'm afraid to ask what would make a togepi not normal. All these mons feel pretty fitting for Louis though.
Oh, that's easy. Being Fairy, of course. I've got Louis going through Orre, and there's a known researcher who had a tri-attack Togepi and all punch Eleckid in XD, so if I'm putting him there years after that...

>>58034797
I didn't realize you were talking about the normal type lol. I thought there was a possibility of some sort of twisted and fucked up togepi. In a way though, I guess to Louis, a fairy togepi would be that lol

>>58034433
As a person who struggles with hoarding, real shit homie. It can be painful. It is what it is.

>>58034653
I think that by the time you had to give it away, you accepted it.
Is understandable tho. Some things have been with us for so long, is hard to let go. Or even feel you ever left it.

>>58034880
Oh, a Steel type Togepi.

>>58025163
Not necessarily a team reshuffle per-say but pre presents hopes as well as Z-A making me have Kalos on the mind inspired me to make a new one being a Ranger with a Noivern as a partner

>>58034880
Oh, yeah, I can see the mixup. Maybe I'll work it into a bit when its being talked about. I can probably have him playing the trollish straight-man to someone who's confused.

I know there's going to at least be a video call slated in with his sister, who'll be livid that he got a Togepi, even a Normal type one, and she hasn't yet.

>>58035011
Cool

That is Idunn, from SMT, I found a decent card around of her.

I wanted a hooverboard, but then I remembered that one of the animated Transformer shows had a character with a skateboard he loses it, and gets a hooverboard, but whatever so I ran with it.

Itchio just made Brutal legend free for a few hours in his memory, so Im going to check it out
Heard its a weird rts/hack and slash mix, wonder how that works out.

>>58037609
Oh I loved that game. Pretty much the first couple of levels are full on hack and slash beat em up, and then later you end up leading armies in sort of a pikmin esq style run around and command your guys during battle. You also drive around in a car as the battles get bigger, and eventually also gain the ability to fly and command your units from on high traditional rts style. Best part of the game is the setting which is pretty much 'all classic rock and roll imagery is real'. Your basic grunt units are metal heads who have been enslaved and forced to head bang against rocks to mine instead of using pickaxes and this their neck muscles have grown to massive size.

Dodging that last page

Alright, I've spent long enough away from Gilded. Gonna start the next chapter sometime tonight.

>>58037609
Is Jack Black (before it was cringe) hacking, slashing, and guiding a metal revolution inside Hell.
It even has my favorite qoute ever:
>"Woah... don't tell me I've been slaying hot chicks this whole time."
