Doing some Pokémon art before I work on Goretober! Honestly, I’m super proud of how this turned out since I was trying a more Pokémon style of shading and it looks so good!
I’ve been working on a MEATY Pokémon project since December of last year which has gone on for a surprisingly long time so far. Safe to say that it’s gonna be a feat I want to be known for in terms of my presence in the Pokémon community. I’m gonna be making an actual commentary video about it despite never having made a commentary video before. Once it’s done, of course.
Basically what I’m saying is that it’s not done yet, and there isn’t an easy way to tell when it will be done.
I won’t give too many details yet but it might have to do with this little guy… and a number larger than 10… for now… whatever that number represents… you’ll have to find out eventually… I uh… kinda wanna find out eventually too…? If you get me…? Ahaha…??
I had an idea for a pokemon challenge that I'm calling the Starter Squad Challenge (for obvious reasons and lack of creativity)
Basically, you don't have to choose a starter, rather, you get all three (how you get all three on the same save is entirely up to you, no shame in hacking.)
Oh? Doesn't seem that challenging?
Well, thats ALL you're getting.
Need to use cut? Sorry, gotta pick one of your pals to play lumberjack
Up against a dragon type? Good luck, Mr/Ms/Whateveryouprefer Hard-countered
Somehow found a shiny but don't have another game to transfer it to? THATS TOO DAMN BAD!
Now since I myself am a wimp, you can opt to not use permadeath, but if it's a wipe, that's game over.
Can your trio of heroes best the threats opposing their region, or will they fall to the challenge of overcoming type matchups? Only one way to find out!
Finally done recording gameplay for the BDSP Challenge Run! I am trying very hard to have this video out by the end of the month! More updates to come soon!
Also, team reveal! First member- Champ the Bibarel
Make a team based off of your memorable interactions with the Pokemon franchise — first exposure to the franchise, first shiny, favourite card pull, whatever!! — and then reverse engineer the trainer!
For me, the team is:
Swinub = possible first exposure to Pokémon via Lugia & Ho-Oh edition pokéball sweet container I bought on holiday which I still have on my shelf!!
Seviper = possible first exposure to Pokémon via anime, remember Rocket’s Seviper the clearest
Noivern = first new Pokémon I heard about, bought Y specifically for it, never got one
Dragalge = first Pokémon I straight didn’t know existed. Learnt about it from a local shop selling figures and not recognising the Dragalge.
Shiny Nuzleaf / Shiftry = first shiny (from trade, I’ve never caught one)
Stufful = toys’r’us card & my favourite card I own. Stole it from behind the register.
So the trainer would be from Hoenn with a Seviper as their first mon then go to Johto on holiday and pick up a Swinub very soon after. A few years later a friend gifts them a shiny Nuzleaf the friend no longer wants. At some point they learn of Noiverns and decide “I want one”, so go to Kalos with the sole purpose of getting one. The lack of prior research means they’re utterly unprepared for lots of Kalos’ native pokémon, with the worst experience being the Skelp line. They end up catching one to save their skid and head home. Then promptly return when they remember their original reason for going. Then return with a Noibat. They get a job at Lilycove Dep. Store where they find a Stufful among the pokédolls and smuggle them out (Smuggul??), likely getting bones broken in the process.
