I should be in bed. Instead I stayed up an additional 3 hours to recreate my Tandor trainer card I had made long ago and apparently lost after I A. Deleted my DA account and B. Had my portable hard drive stolen in college. It was really cool. The creator of Pokemon Uranium even gave me their blessing to make it all those years ago.

And then I thought you know what? Let's go really extra with it. Oh, and a team shot, oh and make a better trainer sprite than back then

And like 3 and a half hours later I'm here. It's 6 am.

Anyway some obligatory stuff: I did not make the fakemon sprites or the balls seen here, these are found within Uranium's game files. The card itself is made from a template I made a long time ago using assets from the official games. However, i did do a fair bit of editing on my grid background to get the colors and pop out honeycomb thing.

My goal for remaking the card was to honor the memory of what was lost while also bringing it to the future. And I wanted to make the card match the radioactive stuff Uranium has

Currently I'm at the 6th badge area, but my team is basically the same as back then. I know nothing about gym 8 and beyond yet, and I'm still finding new stuff to get excited about.

Anyway obligatory self insert bio: we'll say this me accidentally did a little trip through dimensions thanks to some Xenoverse shenanigans and accidentally found himself in Tandor for a bit. He got a new do and of course he decided to spazz out and do another regional challenge, but little did he know that he would have to babysit a little kid, and survive a few nuclear meltdowns. Pretty sure he shouldn't be alive after all the radiation exposure he's had, but hey, it's in the story sooo. I like to imagine that he doesn't take his "rivalry" with Theo seriously in any sense and keeps forgetting the kid's name.

Team:

Archilles, Fire/Ground: Our starter obtained through a quiz from Bambo'o. At first he had to carry us through almost the second gym, and even now he's a reliable backup when all else fails. He's a bit of a nippy fella and keeps trying to playfully bite the hand that feeds him. He evolved very conveniently when we were about to get offed by a Nuclear Pokémon in an abandoned Plant.

Eshouten, Normal/Flying: she's a flying owl cat. We caught her as an Owlten and even though she's a little bit rougher looking, we still love this goober and how incredibly useful and reliable she is. However she has all the same habits of a playful cat, and this one has wings, so you can imagine the stress that might cause

Baariette, Dark/Fighting: got him in a trade for a Fortog. He's an incredibly fast grower and reliable in a pinch. He is a bit of a dirty fighter though, and a bit if a tsundere type in personality. But he does enjoy praise and companionship, even if he tries to hide it.

Gellen, Electric/Grass: oh man, I remember playing the game with my friends back years ago and this was our BABY. Appropriate since he is literally a baby hatched from an egg. Very powerful and reliable, but a little bit dimwitted. Gellen doesn't know his own size and still thinks he's a baby

Glavinug, Water/Ice: this is probably my favorite design in the dex and actually made me choose to get the fire or grass starter when I saw it initially. It's also designed by one of my favorite fakemon artists, Pequedark-Velvet. Another one of the babies that quickly grew to a badass monstrosity. She was fished up from Route 8, and is a sweet fella that wants attention all the time. I don't think she realizes just how lucky she is to have avoided a certain story event due to us catching her

Nucleon, Nuclear type: one of the few non feral Nuclear types. Nuclear is basically the glass cannon type that is weak to and strong against almost everything other than Steel. When I saw that there was an eeveelution with the typing, I knew I needed it. I just got it in my new playthrough, but in my original it was amazingly powerful, especially with Atomized Hyper Voice that just WRECKED everything. The third babey. I like to imagine she's like my dog, a sweet shy girl that likes many naps.

I haven't been this excited about a game or sprites in a while. I was in a big creative rut but I think finally picking up the full game really helped me out of it. A big thank you to everyone involved with Uranium, you guys really paved the way for how creative fan games could get and set a standard for others to follow. If there ever was a fan game that deserved to be real, it's Uranium.
