Thread 58320855

first ever OC posted in /pog/ edition

a thread dedicated to posting Pokemon OCs

discuss them, draw them, write about them, and anything if it's creative and it involves Pokemon OCs, yours or otherwise, discussing OCs you found on the internet is good as well
NOTE: this is specifically for OCs that ARE pokemon, not trainers/human OCs, if you want to discuss those go to the trainer OCs general please

thread question: what's your OC's movepool? is there any specific significance or use they have for it?

>>58320855 (OP)
For Clover:
Psystrike
Reflect
Light Screen
Recover

She's more of a pacifist, only to attack in self defense. However, she often hide behind barriers in order to protect herself and heal her wounds when needed. She's not very experienced in fighting.

Remember, it's rude to battle pokemon OCs without asking first

>>58320855 (OP)
>what's your OC's movepool? is there any specific significance or use they have for it?
Canonically she doesn't really have one, but if I were to pick a few based on funny size-related jokes, it'd probably be:
>Helping Hand (she tries to be nice!)
>Thunder (all the static electricity building up in that floof has to go somewhere)
>Brutal Swing (wrecking everything when she panics, probably while growing)
>Giga Impact (at least when she's giga-huge)

>>58320855 (OP)
Well, for my mewtwo, they started off with Confusion, Laser focus, Psych up, and Brutal swing, since they didn't have a very good handle on their powers for a while, but found that their ability to pick out weak points and swing that Thang (their tail) was pretty solid, as well as being able to imitate other dungeon 'mons stat moves after studying them and working on it for a while.
More recently they've dropped laser focus and confusion for Psycho cut and Focus punch, after getting more acquainted with what they can do with their psychokinesis and other abilities. It's a great utility skill, too! They use a toned down version in the Café to blend drinks and prepare various dishes quickly. Focus punch is sorta there as an emergency measure, more than anything, they've got bad blood with a rock/dark type in their guild. They've only used it twice, once to show off in front of her boyfriend and once half-cocked to finish off a fight they were late to.
I want to get life dew and drain punch into their pool at some point too for more utility, first one through tutoring by another character that has it, the other probably taught by someone at the town dojo.
They favor physical moves because they put less strain on them and their naturally high speed puts some extra oomph behind basic attacks. All their dungeon runs have been solo gathering missions for ingredients and materials so far, which means they can run a liiittle long so preserving their stamina is important.

Always ask for a duel, RP or otherwise.

Unless you really don't like them and/or have a very good reason to do so.
Jump their ass, King/Queen. Nobody ever expects the raw hyper beam from neutral.

half my OCs couldn't battle even if they wanted to...

mostly in case they have a non-fighter movepool, stuff like using baby-doll eyes to beg or helping hand to... help, or to represent some characteristic of them like spike and rest, or to straight up avoid fights like protect

>panic and try to wake the trainer up
>sit down and guard the trainer politely

Or something else?

>>58326421
I've never actually thought about it. Hmm...

>>58327309
Clover would teleport them to the nearest Pokémon center; she's too kind to leave then in a dangerous cavern.

>>58328089
And no, why should she take their money anyway?

>>58327309
steal all their shit and leave them to die, My Oc would be more scared of them coming back for revenge

All I got on me are Mystery Dungeon characters, but I’ll give it a shot:
They start off taking him to the city, excited to be recognized as heroes. Then after a bit, they start making fun of him for passing out like that.
>We didn’t even touch him! His Gardevoir took all the hits
>Maybe they’ve got some kinda Psychic bond
>Oh I bet they have a very, very special bond
That sort of thing. As they run out of jokes, the sun gets lower in the sky, and the trainer starts to feel heavier they start getting actually mad that he got knocked out by a gentle breeze.
>He attacked us! This is all his fault, why’s it our problem?
After complaining the whole way back they drop him off at the emergency room and run back off into the woods. He wakes up grateful to the wild Pokemon who saved him until he realizes all his berries and poffins are missing.

Omicron would advocate for just fucking off and leaving them there, while Zeta would want to help them.
Omi would probably win that particular argument, though, because what are a pair of two-foot tall foxes going to do with an adult human several times their combined weight?

into the trash it goes

>>58331646
Yeah, I was waiting to see how this thread would grow and unfortunately I don’t really think I feel like participating because this place looks like it’s going to be overrun by coomers and anthro/furfags due to insufficient gatekeeping. At the end of this thread I might post my old story concept before fucking off, I don’t think I will ever write for it because I’m already busy with other projects, but I want to at least leave something behind here because I spent like two hours fleshing it out and I see no harm in at least showing the proof of concept.

>>58333127
What do you expect? This is 4chan!
Of course, there will be coomers and furries this is what this thread is for: Furry OCs of Pokemon, either feral or anthro.

>>58329016
That blush on the crotch makes me suspicious

>>58332518
typos:
snow cloack -> snow cloak
takes of -> takes off

>>58333128
Making a Pokemon OC and making a furry/anthro OC are two different things, one is on model and behaves like either a normal animal (Pokemon) or a PMD character and the other acts like a human or fursuit OC. And yes, you can gatekeep coomers from your community, the trainer oc thread that OP mentions did it, but it seems like most people here aren’t interested in gatekeeping. It’s whatever, there’s a different way I would prefer this place be run but I’m not going to boss people around, that would be rude and I have little interest in this thread as a whole now. I’ll just post my concept later and that will be it.

>>58333128
Furries and coomers are fine, as long as they're able to keep it in their pants when necessary. This being 4chan, clearly most aren't.

>>58333278
how exactly are PMD characters different from acting like a human/fursuit OC? genuine question btw
you mean like, it's only ok for pokemon to be smart and talk if it's a pmd setting in your opinion?

>>58333278
I think what you're trying to say is that it wasn't modeled off of the Trainer OC thread as this was made in a rush. If it were a proper Pokemon OC thread, it would be like this:

>This is an OC thread designed to promote the creative process of designing Monster characters their backstories, all through collective feedback and such.

Is this a copypasta of the Tog thread? Yes. but that's the best I can do under such short notice.

>>58333376
I'm all for being more structured with prompts and thread themes, but it's not going to make me less horny about what I draw

>>58333411
To be fair, ToG broke their own rules when anon draw lewds of their OCs: >>58331408

>>58333430
That’s one guy who likes to draw bikini pics for people and basically nobody else in the thread draws that kind of stuff. He actually fantasized about drawing sex scenes in that thread, but was promptly told off by people saying it would be too much. The actual rule is not “don’t post anything lewd or sexual ever” but rather “don’t make an OC whose only purpose is to be drawn getting fucked”, people have shown up before with things like a girl who is basically just the “but I don’t have any money” meme and they were shown the door because it’s clear they just wanted to draw porn and nothing but porn.

>>58333446
>The actual rule is not “don’t post anything lewd or sexual ever” but rather “don’t make an OC whose only purpose is to be drawn getting fucked”,
Fair enough (though they should simplify it as, no sex workers).

Bump for future examples.

>>58333278
>but it seems like most people here aren’t interested in gatekeeping
OP here, honestly i also would prefer if it was kept mostly sfw but i'm not sure how to go around it since at the same time i don't mind if people do make lewd stuff with their OCs

>>58334445
Take cues from the Trainer OC threads, use them as a jumping off point. I've already provided an example on >>58333376 along with this OC template >>58333632. Don't just talk about existing OCs, but promote creations of such characters through feedback and resources like https://randompokemon.com/.

>>58333632
Example

Name: Ale
Species: Eevee
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Appearance: Pic related
Home: TBD (somewhere in PMD world)
Occupation: Performer
Nature/Characteristic: A Quirky Eevee who's Silly and Impetuous.
Backstory: Ale is an Eevee, who's born to a family of Berry farmers. She went to the circus at a young age and Inspired to be a performer. Since then she been practicing her skills; and, at the age of 18, she went off to the Pokémon Contest to become the best performer in the world.
Moveset: Charm, Copycat, Baby-doll eyes, Covet.
Ability/Quality: Adaptivity with Small Stomach.

>>58333311
It’s like the difference between Watership Down and Peter Rabbit, the first the first attempts to portray how animals would develop civilizations if they retained all of their animal characteristics but had access to human communication, the second is just animals acting like humans and basically just being humans functionally (standing upright, having dexterity, etc)
I don’t necessarily think that PMD is the only setting for talking Pokemon but I do think that your setting has to be at least PMD-LIKE in order for it to work. Team Rocket’s Meowth is the exception to the rule that proves the rule, trying to make a talking Pokemon in the human world is not only cringe but also jarring and very difficult to justify, the only times it works is when you have sporadic legendary Pokemon telepathy like in the anime movies and I’d argue that’s more of a plot device rather than actual characterization. I expect for my Pokemon OCs to be actual Pokemon, not weird anthro furry characters, I would just make a Pokemon furry general for that (but furshit is banned in this place even if the mods barely enforce it, so I’d prefer to just keep it out of this thread as a whole).
>>58333376
I don’t really expect this place’s OP to be modeled after the trainer OC thread because it has no relation to it, I think it would have been nice for someone to give a bit more thought into organizing but it’s whatever. I guess I kind of just expected people to naturally want to focus on the artistic and writing aspects and thus naturally gatekeep people who are mostly just drawing lewds and not actually providing anything of creative substance, but there’s already some people here who look like they’re just here to draw porn, and if you give those kinds of people a pass then eventually your thread will become known as a hub for furry porn and your “OC” content will become flooded with porn exchange, drowning out thoughtful art or writing concepts.
>>58333310
This.

>>58331646
You are just an angey jeet seething that the thread left AI behind for real artwork

>>58335057
>I expect for my Pokemon OCs to be actual Pokemon, not weird anthro furry characters,
There's your problem.
You expect us to show of our Pokémon (or, rather, our OC Trainer's Pokémon), not our Pokémon OCs. Watership down is a story from a Rabbit's perspective, while cartoon animals like peter rabbit are just allegory of race. If you want to talk about Trainer's Pokémon, do it in the Trainer OC's thead.

>>58335057
>I guess I kind of just expected people to naturally want to focus on the artistic and writing aspects.
It's in its infancy at the moment, it's not as thought out as Trainer OCs. Though, like you said, most prefer not to humanize their Pokémon outside of what they own as it would lead down the furry rabbithole; Most wanted them to be just a pet and companion like Ash's Pikachu, not like a character like TR's Meowth. Plus it's difficult to built around the world of PMD as it's a different kind of game world (I, admittedly, only played the first installment).

That's why I created a template as a starting off point and go from there; that way the have to think through of their OCs and how they interact to the world (especially in PMD).

>>58335057
Had to do a double take, but I get what you mean in term of watership down. Though keep in mind that PMD is furry by default; so if you really insistent of following said rule, then you should limit it to wild Pokémon in mainline world. Like, do they live in a community, how do they interact with other Pokémon with their habitat, and how they managed not to be captured by them. The Lopunny clan is a good example of the kind of discourse and story you seek.

>>58335280
>Like, how do they live in a community, how do they interact with other Pokémon with their habitat, and how they managed not to be captured/noticed by Pokémon Trainers.
Fix'd for clarification.

>>58335057
>It’s like the difference between Watership Down and Peter Rabbit [etc...]
oh yeah i agree in this regard, if the pokemon OCs are essentially just humans in a human society it becomes lame
>I don’t really expect this place’s OP to be modeled after the trainer OC thread because it has no relation to it
yeah i didn't want to copypaste the /tog/ OP because i honestly don't know anything about these threads
also their OP comes off a bit mean-spirited imo, to be honest they probably have a good reason to have it be like that though
i'm adding an addendum about lewd posts though, i think furry coomers coming here is fine but i'd want them to focus on the character, art and writing aspects when posting here not only because it's more interesting but also because there's other places to talk about their fetish
even if it's just to develop a character they mainly use to commission porn or ERP or whatever, i don't care, as long as it's interesting and creativity-driven discussion that isn't just lewd stuff

>>58335368
>oh yeah i agree in this regard, if the pokemon OCs are essentially just humans in a human society it becomes lame
True, but it's difficult to write a story about wild/stray Pokémon like Animals of Farthing Woods, or Warriors.

frankly i'm a little insulted by the insinuation that cheval blanc only exists for sex
he is instrumental in keeping the manor grounds safe from intruders and pests

>>58335598
So is does he have an owner or something?

>>58335608
officially, his owner/trainer is the "lord" of the manor (he's actually just a mostly normal rich entrepreneur, not some megarich noble. Not that cheval knows or cares.) who comes and goes often enough that when he's around, he spends it with his family and not the various pokemon that live in the grounds.
Almost all the pokemon in the house spend little to no time in their pokeballs, which sit in a closet somewhere.

So yes he has an owner but doesn't really know him. He's closer to his owners daughters and wife.

I think gatekeeping is kinda lame unless you've got an actually problematic individual on your hands. Then it's entirely justified. Gotta let people be a Little cringe, it's just more fun that way, imo.

>>58333632
Freshened up and tweaked for unfamiliar eyes, since I've already made one of the sheets this is based on. Good idea, by the way!

>Plus it's difficult to built around the world of PMD as it's a different kind of game world
Actually, I hadn't really played any games prior to joining my pmd rp! Still haven't even finished red rescue, lmao.
Didn't take much more effort than a mainline OC would, honestly.

I just now drew a cute OC
>eclaire (or cottie if your good friends)
>doesn't really battle, but is able to fight despite being a lady she's very strong despite that.
>likes making plushies for people, really good at sewing.
>sweet as anything, a bit shy/meek but when she opens up she's very chipper, it's very rare for her to get angry unless you do something terrible
>wears barque dresses, she used to be a bit of a tomboy due to upbringing but found she liked being feminine more and learned from a lilygent
>if PMD, she has a little shop where she makes nice clothes, toys and equipment but if normal universe she spends her time in a forgotten manor with a bunch of other wild pokemon that have fixed it up, it's hidden away from most people but they do get the occasional visitor, most people don't catch pokemon there though not that she'd mind finding a good trainer who'd treat her right but is content, not really much for adventuring unless it's chill vibes.
>mature for the most part but indulges in childish things and indulges sweets a bit too much.

>it's just a coincidence that he happens to be a crossdressing femboy that wears a padded fuck-collar and a cock cage.
It insists upon itself, Lois

>>58337682
Sort of like how you're insisting that characters with any sexual aspects are immediately just one-dimensional coombait?

>>58338139
If the original anon is posting their OC with a filename of "locktober" to bait replies and has an nsfw alt locked and loaded then that's pretty telling what their primary intent with the character is.

>>58335598
good work anon, please continue posting your pix. honestly aristocrats dont have to work so it probably is realistic that they just have gay sex all day anyways.

>>58335684
Reading that, I wonder if the anons at the Trainer OC threads would use this to expand upon their Pokémon's personalities and how they interact with both their trainers and other monsters.

>>58333446
>>58333460
iirc, there is also a guy over there that uses koikatsu, and when you see him, he is mostly offering to create the OCs of others in the game and if he does, you will mostly see him use the recreations for panoramic shots or attempting to create scenes with some pokemons in between, the main point is that the thread doesn't want to fall in the same mistakes the edgyverse thread fell into or have characters that exist only to be gooned over.

>>58336581

>stashes things in her fluff hair rather then any pockets
>>58339821
thanks, maybe I'll color 'em later.

>>58340126
>(do contests exist in PMD? that'd be interesting)
Officially no, but that doesn't stop us one bit.

>>58340168
I should clarify,
From the first PMD game (which I played) there's isn't much of a sport or competition shown outside of the setting; though this is mostly because this is a Mystery Dungeon game we you explore for a living. However, I did suggest that there will be such, especially during the time of peace and prosperity.

>>58333446
>He actually fantasized about drawing sex scenes in that thread
That was clearly not him. Don't people know how to follow reply chains?

>>58340808
it would make sense for there to be other jobs outside of adventuring, someones gotta run the shops and there'd probably have to be a guild so civilians don't just go wondering into dangerous places.

>>58341078
True, but there's nothing else for the Protag to participate; only adventuring jobs like in DnD. Meanwhile mainline Pokemon games have:

PokeStar Studios
Pokantholon
Pokemon Contest
Pokemon Musical

just to name a few.

>>58341134
Yeah but in universe there is products that come from pokemon too, plus you have trainer types like breeders, police, farmers, etc, the protags always take the gym challenge for gameplay reasons and tend to be blank slates like most RPG silent protags.

>>58341134
yeah but realistically there's other things for the pokemon to do besides adventuring and producing/selling stuff
would there be? i wonder how "advanced" the PMD societies would be considered, they seem rather rustic

>>58342441
Well they do have a school in Super.

So here is just going to be "pokemon" pokemon OCs? or would one be able to post something similar to Moemons, Anthros or like kinkymations Pokemusu??

>>58343012
Expect it somewhere around 4-5 and nothing more. PMD more or less humanize the monsters to the point that it made anthromons redundant, while posting info and personality of the OCTrainer's Pokémon were more applicable for a tie in with the other thread. Also, wild Pokémon are welcome as some would like to expand on the life within their natural habitat.

Idealy, I would like to think of this as Pokémon equivalent of "The Lion King" and "The Secret Life of Pets"; trying to get into the minds of the monsters that we took for granted.

>>58333376
>as long as it's not a fucking pet rock
Oh yo numbskulls! Pet rock is a nickname for a very unsavory element from the trainer oc threads. He was named such because of his very obstinate personality (other names include rocky and boulder).
Putting that in your OP would imply he's banned here also despite never participating. He IS a dickhead, but it's the principle of the thing, y'know?
t. swagged out lurker

>>58343434
Hence it was removed from said template: >>58343203

>>58336210
plushies, you say......
is there much of a demand for that kind of stuff (textiles, etc) in non-PMD, especially if she spends her time around wild pokemon? How's she get into it?
Is she and her assistant considered odd ones out in their environment or are they trendsetting?

anyone know of artists who do outfits for pokemon characters?

>>58343854
Like holowear and such; I don't know. I mean, how can you dress up a Voltorb?

>>58344549
You know those stickers you apply to pokeballs in the gen 4 games?

>>58343737
a decent amount but since pokemon are able to produce things like that or find discarded goods it's reasonably common, wild pokemon can be chill given the anime depicts as much or because trainers released them for one reason or another (not always for bad reasons do trainers release pokemon into the wild again) plus those pichu bros shorts had them fix up a junk yard into a playground so wild pokemon can be civil even outside of PMD
she got into it from finding an old book about sewing and fashion, though she does make equipment like bags from time to time
as for their particular fashion choices, it's not that strange but most tend to be a bit more casual, there are plenty who do gush about them though there is a variety depending on personal taste some mons just want simple hats or scarfs or what have you.

>>58344610
I think those sticker goes into the Pokeball to create effects, but fuck if I know.

>>58344549
hats maybe eye wear and face-paint/make up
>>58344736
well they are pokeballs brought to life so it'd probably work...maybe.

>>58344636
Stray, Abandoned, and Released Pokémon were also good to write about.

>>58345221
it is fun and it doesn't have to be tragic or sad either.

>>58343854
I wouldn't call myself an artist, but I do that! Picrel, made for the serperior mentioned on my sheet.

any of you got some manner of resources to help you come up with names?
i struggle way more than i probably should with this

>>58346502
it's easy to come up with names.
1: what is your character like
2: how do they act/dress
3: where are they from
4: what is their goal

example: whooper, a water type, probably hangs out at rivers and is an axelotl kinda easy going, a good name would be lottie which would work off it's real animal counterpart name or you could go something that plays off location, like say mirely or brook or you'd name it after it's personality like say it liked being near damns then logue would be solid.

you could also look at characters, fictional or otherwise to pull from, most anime characters for example are named after food or objects and even sounds (naruto being the most well known) you could also pull from other languages and/or do what pokemon already does which is combines two words to convey an idea, IE psyduck being psychic duck (but you don't make it that on the nose)

>>58346502
https://www.behindthename.com/ is really good for human-like names, although it doesn't really work for non-human ones.

need to redo this character's hair style
the pompadour looks silly

>>58346907
I think he looks fine! It's close enough to on model with a slight personal flare. Plus it keeps the nape unobstructed and out of the way of the sweet cloak.
What were you thinking of replacing it with? Can they do their own hair or do they live somewhere where someone can do it for them?

>>58346989
Probably just something a bit more on model and a little less forward poofy, if I can get that to look right. I don't know, maybe it looks fine.
He can do some basic maintenance on his own, but mostly has the help of others as an incidental perk of employment.

>>58347058
what's he employed as? Does he live in a human world or a PMD world?
desu I think it's alright to go off model with something like hair, because that's something that doesn't have super hard biological constraints. Anyone can change their hair anytime with enough effort. I think you need to start worrying about going off model when you start giving them wings and joints that function differently and stuff.

>>58347074
more PMDish. He's the not-really-private librarian for an eccentric Mismagius who serves as the town's de-facto mayor.

>>58347097
To clarify, the Mismagius had been living there long before the rest of the town was even built, which is why everyone else treats her as the mayor.
The Vulpix is an amnesiac who was fished out of the nearby river. He isn't actually sure if he has any relevant skills or abilities, and was thrust into the position mostly because the Mismagius needed someone to organize her house.

>>58346502
I'm with you on this one, names are really fucking hard for me.
Half my OCs (pokemon or not) just go functionally nameless their whole lives because I come up with them based on their actions and appearance, not their dialogue. I guess that's one of the pitfalls of being a drawfag and not a writer; i can come up with all the intricate scenarios and scenes i like but i struggle to make them flow smoothly on a timeline.

>>58347182
maybe post 'em and we could give a couple of idea's?

>>58346502
Unironically I go Jojomode with my character names. Bands, musicians, song titles and lyrics. You can make them fit surprisingly well.

>>58346613
Also pet name could also work, like Foxy or Woody. All it takes is a bit of thought on both their species and personality.

>>58348962
I’m more curious about the strange shrunken Raichu

>>58349012
it's a fetish >>58349007

>>58349394
So giga bunny all over again.

>>58349577
Who is that?

>>58349763
Alpha Lopunny clan, though there the trainer has shrunken the become their plaything.

>>58346907
Another cut icefox.

>>58343012
i'd say mostly close to their on-model is what the thread is going for
using the pic you posted to give you an idea it's probably fine to shift the scale at most 1 level

>>58350492
He should hope not. That's dangerous.

>>58351207
I think they mean cute.

>>58349012
>>58349394
>both posts gone
wonder if the anon deleted them from embarrassment

>>58351375
they were deleted at the exact same time, so he just got banned and post-wiped for spamming his dogshit fetish everywhere

Thinking of coming up with an OC for the thread. How does everyone feel about a transformed human?

>>58351901
that's the entire premise of PMD (more or less)

>>58351901
More exhumans!

>>58351336
i thought he meant circumcised lmao

bumping with an oc

>>58353575
I noticed that they all shared a secret move.
Is it an original that's exclusive to your OCs?

>>58353599
they are not original moves that don't exist in the games, but they are ones that they don't learn normally

>>58353691
Are they related to the partner Eevee though.

>>58351933
Yeah, but I was thinking of one in the human world. Maybe he got got by a Ninetales…
>>58351974
Cool, I’ll think a little harder about this later then.

>>58353575
i really like her hair.... so soft and floofy looking

>>58354007
nope, they are just "regular" moves, just not so regular on the eeveelutions
>>58354384
i'm glad you like her

>>58354338
Well, magic does canonically exist and bill's machine and mewtwo was used to fuse humans and pokemon in detective pikachu... plenty to work with.

Quick bump

another oc bump

>>58356383
Cute vui

>>58356383
how did she get that scar?

it's a secret for now

I'll wait.

another bump

https://rentry.org/WinterheartTheSneasel
Bumping with a WIP to try and stimulate discussion. Any questions or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm gonna sleep on it but right now I don't have a lot of great ideas for those empty slots.

>>58320855 (OP)
I made some OC that isn't goon material so that this thread could possibly be salvaged. A fool's errand, I know. Introducing Wye and Javo in..

Their character sheets (which I lifted off this >>58360965 anon (cool character, by the way)):
https://rentry.org/pog-wye-javo

And the story you'll find at the end:
https://rentry.org/wyeintheworld

By the way, the art isn't mine. Happened to find it and wrote a story around it on a whim.

got around to coloring them.

>>58361229

>Or other 'mon, he doesn't discriminate as long as they're not a male since that'd be gay and he hates gays.
KEK

>>58361229
Those guys are amusing. I like their dynamics. Good work.

>>58361229
>so that this thread could possibly be salvaged.
But it can’t be.
>A fool’s errand, I know.
Then why bother?

>>58361229
Needs to be longer
Funny fellows
I like Javo's Hoo-ah.

>>58363303
Let me guess: furry=gooning

>>58363710
If your OC makes my penis hard then it's a gooner OC sorry bro I make the rules

>>58363756
So fucking lopunny, lucario, gardevoir, and such.

To each their own.

https://rentry.org/WildPokemonTaxonomy
Bump with some worldbuilding I've been working on. The idea was to formalize the way trainers think about wild Pokemon in the least grimdark, "training is slavery" way possible while still allowing Pokemon enough autonomy to have their own hunter-gatherer societies out in the wilderness. Also to give them something to hunt, though I'm still not sure I like the idea of "ferals." If anyone's got any feedback I'm all ears, especially if you've got a better name than any of the four terrible ones I came up with.
>>58361229
Thanks! Hoping for the best for your poor Braviary. I enjoyed the little Who's On First gags.
I actually got the character sheet from this anon >>58343420. By the way, templateanon, I noticed a lot of typos in that template. If you want I can fix it in a new Rentry and you can copy it over.
>>58361571
Cuuuute.

>>58365211
mind pointing some out in regards to the template?

Aslo, In certain games you're unable to capture Pokemon above your trainer level (i.e. the amount of Gym badge you have within a given region). It may help that there will be Leader Pokémon that act as guardian to a certain community (like Alphas, for examples) that can't be captured by anyone but the Pokémon Champions themselves.

>>58365690
https://rentry.org/hg7vqxcu
There were just a few typos and missing words here and there. I've corrected them in this one, if you edit it you can copy/paste the corrections into your Rentry.

>>58365690
Oh, forgot to respond to what you said. Trainer level is an interesting idea, I'll think about it.

>>58365752
it is done, thanks.

>>58361229
This thread deserves to die cause of people like you.
And it will die.

>>58365793
What seems to be the problem?
those look fine to me.

>>58365211
I might also draw a layout of the manor those ladies live in maybe, though it'd probably be easier to use one of those dungeon builder programs.

I wish I had a Vaporeon OC

>>58367358
what exactly is stopping you from making one?

>>58365211
Taxonomy added to OP template.

>>58361229
>Two partners with minimal design changes getting into comedic hijinks.

A classic dynamic. I feel like these two could've been clover guild characters if the writers there didn't start taking themselves too seriously and trying to be the next shakespeare.

>>58366411
Go for it, sounds fun.
>>58367968
Oh, wow, thanks.

Man, I wanna yap about my shit. My rp has been on a bit of a slow roll for a while now, so I keep having ideas for stuff and forgetting them. Agony.

>>58326421
Half art studio/workshop, half bedroom. They've got a couple big work tables with a bunch of raw materials stored underneath in baskets, a loom in the corner beside them, and a bunch of pots filled with dyes and mordant opposite along with bigger bolts of cloth and crates of assorted parts nearby. They have a couple stools with woven seats to use while they work on things.
Their personal area is full of the typical stuff you'd find in someone's room, a dresser for their clothes and accessories, bookcase mostly for trinkets and whatever they might borrow from the library if they ever remember to visit it, a standing rack for outerwear, a storage chest for all their gear and supplies, a big woven beanbag chair they use as a bed, they even have a little nightstand with the shell of an old crt they found in a more tech-y dungeon, which they use as a frame for small paintings.
Despite being a dormroom half overrun with work stuff, it's fairly cozy in there, they've had a couple 'mon visit or stay the night and it's been fairly nice overall.
They've been considering an upgrade recently, moving everything into Wisp's manor since there's an abundance of space given its non-euclidian nature, they could probably have a dedicated seamstresses room, and stay in Wisp's room with him. Orrr have their own room, since the decor they do have might clash a little with the sort of spooky victorian aesthetic his room has.. up to him, really.

>what's your OC's movepool? is there any specific significance or use they have for it?
Going back and forth on this, but for now (at least at the start) he's a close-range debuff fighter. He can channel his curse to use Spite the joke is that's an egg move Sneasel can get from Alolan Ninetales to exhaust opponents, but he has to rely on his claws to actually do damage. I guess that would be Slash.
>>58326421
Winterheart's tribe is nomadic, so he doesn't have a consistent living space. They often stay in caves or 5ish Pokemon sized burrows. They do hit a few consistent spots year-after-year as they follow feral herd migrations. A big one is an abandoned Ranger outpost near Lake Acuity. They visit there a few times over the year the year to store preserved foods for Deep Winter, which is a month where all the herds are out of their territory or hibernating and they have to survive on preserved foods.

>>58367528
Not that anon, but it could be the inability to draw...

>>58372247
....Just use a fucking character sheet: >>58343420

What's the easiest way to trick or get one over on your character?

bump

>>58326421
....Clover may hone her psychic powers to conjure up illusions so that intruders might be unable to get to her. She also could use them create some funiture out of stones, mostly out of a hobby.

Kinda difficult to come up with something when your Psychokinetic abomination lives in a cave at the outskirt of town.

>>58374383
He believes magicians are real and he'd fall for parlor tricks.

>>58369383
I think this is a pretty good layout, outside also has stuff too so I'll probably do that as well.

>>58377156
this is the general outside area.

>>58367528
I cbf socialising enough to make it worth the effort, my Vaporeon would be a normal Vaporeon with nothing special anyway, I just like Vaporeon

>>58378098
just catch a Vaporeon on the mainline games, and base it off of that. Characteristics and Nature can help flesh out the character, along with where you get said Pokémon.

>>58378098
you can make it special without changing a lot

Bump.

oc bump

>>58381029
cute, as usual.

pocket bump

>>58381029
I wish more Pokémon like Furfrou could get hairdos in game, would love to see something like this.

>>58385532
with the pokémon now in the thousand mark, I don't think that's possible for all of them.

The board seems to be picking up activity as PLZA was leaked, wonder if we will be able to be in the thread withouth being kicked off every couple hours.

>>58387153
bump, but it seems that it will soon be flooded with leaks of all characters, Pokemon, Locations, etc.

>>58387153
In hindsight trying to start a new general this close to the release of a new game was bound to be tough. I'll still try to keep it bumped for as long as OP is willing to keep making them.

>>58388871
/tog/ is considering moving for a bit to the 4x2chans /vp/ board until things quiet down here, I imagine other threads might do the same if they don't want to lose touch with the other anons, the lets play thread is also there, and they seem to be chilling there.

>>58389015
I've never been, but as long as it's basically the same site I wouldn't mind. Up to everybody here.

>>58387153
>wonder if we will be able to be in the thread withouth being kicked off every couple hours
uh yeah i didn't think of that
i'll try to bump it up but idk i feel like the board won't get THAT fast

>>58389015
the problem is that dubchan never want to come back, so there's a chance you guys may stuck there.

bumperino
>>58389835
yeah, probably worth just wait for a bit until the board calms down

Bonk

>>58374383
Either just being plain old nice to them, because they'll either overlook whatever you're up to or assume it's for a good reason, Orrr, make them feel like they owe you something, a little manipulation is unfortunately quite effective on Mewt, since they're already a people pleaser.

>>58386161
biggest media franchise in the world, they have enough merch money to do it for sure
but why bother when it could uh it could uh, what do they do with all the merch money again?

>>58374383
Winterheart is a “my way or the highway” kind of guy, so if you convince him that a bad idea is his idea he’ll defend it to the death.

>>58395084
It mean shit if your budget were centered around maintaining said multimedia franchise. Do you honestly believe they could afford hiring more modelers and animators to work with said project? It's far more difficult to do so that you thought.

>>58396499
>Do you honestly believe they could afford hiring more modelers and animators to work with said project?
sorry i forgot nintendo, TPC and game freak are small indie companies

What's your character's favorite memory?

>>58397569
That applies to all companies: sometimes that money went somewhere.

>>58398864
Winterheart's favorite memory is catching his partner, a Teddiursa I haven't named yet. She gave him a really tough chase, and he was really proud of himself for outthinking one of her tricks. She was with him hunting the Ninetales, and when he woke up transformed she was nowhere to be seen.

>>58398864
Clover had fond memories of her father, despite how short it was.

>>58398864
Follow-up, what is your character’s worst memory?

>>58403754
the moment he evolved

>>58404708
What's the story there?

>>58398864
eclaire's favorite memory would be finding that manor and making it an actual home after finding that fashion crafting book in it.

bum

>>58402506
Shame Archer came along and fucked everything up.

Ba-bum

Ba-bum-bum

just let it die, the leak flood has begun.

>>58405693
what does the manor look like? i've seen the maps btw, i mean aesthetically
is it like a worn-down but refurbished victorian look?

>>58414223
more or less, anything that was too broken like rotted wood and such did get replaced and there are some modern-ish features like functional plumbing, probably isn't super high tech due to being very remote but a human would be able to survive just fine for months maybe years if they good survival skills without too much issue (not that many do, once in a blue moon type deal due it being hidden away in a dense forest that's hard to get to.), electricity could be in the cards but it isn't needed much or is off grid, the fridge would have never melt ice, the lights would probably use shining stones and candles, it's pseudo magic tech but it's just how pokemon world works so it's not too crazy very low fantasy, it's history has been lost to time at any rate, it's not too hard to maintain, there is a fire place in the lounge, it's idealic as one would imagine, plenty of pokemon helped to fix it up but they don't live there, might be a spider mon in the basement who's chill, they do get visitors who trade goods and services from time to time.

>>58414930
speaking of trade they'd probably get things like
>wood/charcoal
>textiles/crafting stuff
>candles/wax
>specialized food (cheese, milk, sugar, that sort of thing)
>bric a brac
>stones/gems (mostly for clothing baubles making rather then jewelry, you'd have to ask a diancie or something for that kind of thing I'd imagine)
>artisanal goods.
>gardening stuff

>>58414930
sounds very comfy, i like this kind of stuff

>>58320855 (OP)
You guys seem pretty starved for content, so I’m back to share that concept I mentioned a while ago. I would normally post this at the end of a thread, but it’s basically guaranteed that this place gets swept under the rug tomorrow (honestly it might just straight up not survive the inactivity and won’t come back once the PLZA shitstorm ends) and I don’t want to have to wait longer to send this thing nor do I want to be known as “the guy who says he won’t join but also keeps us waiting on his throwaway concept”.
>https://pastebin.com/hLC9DhRY
I still do not think that I will be joining this place, but I do not want this concept to go to waste. And this whole thing is like 6000 characters so don’t think that I’m making you read a pastebin for no reason.
