I found this on my phone searching for other paintings and realized I hadn’t posted it. It’s based on how giraffes toss their necks at each other in violent ways sometimes. I completely forgot that I made this.
This is a drawing challenge where two Pokemon evolution lines will be fused.
I‘ll go chronologically through the dex, which means some Pokemon from one line may appear later (like the Pikachu line where Pichu is in a different generation).
The fusion will be randomly picked through a number generator and the rules may shift for certain Pokemon.
Please don‘t repost!
Bonus sketch:
Yes, it doesn‘t have a shell like Slowbro but a long tail that it curls up to make it look like one.
Okay so I'm sure by now a lot of my followers are aware that I lost my LOA file when my switch decided to fry itself and I've started a new file right? Well I was kinda bummed about just having to redo everything the normal way so I decided to have some fun (read: completely waste my time) and do a little challenge.
I wanted to see how far up the ranks it was possible to go with just the first unlocked area of Obsidian Fieldlands and it turns out the answer is solidly "Rank 8" which is absolutely hilarious, especially when the poor guard asks to see if you're at least rank 1. Yeah buddy I think qualify...
Was this a huge waste of time? Absolutely. Was it important to me to figure out just how high ranking of a Galaxy team member you could be before even meeting a member of the Diamond/Pearl clans? Yes. Rank 8 is near the top of the possible rank you could hold and if anyone wants to use this fact in their fanfiction or whatever I just want you to know it's justified.
Your protag would have to be as absolutely batshit as I am and go through every single possible task as well as try to bait quite a few Magicarp and Gyradoes to shore with berries (something I'm very much not convinced was intended to be able to do from the shore of Lake Verity from how much the AI freaks out about it and how they are very rarely even close enough to even notice the berries)
For a visual reference of the surface area of Pokemon territory I had to work with here is a map with the areas I could go highlighted. I also never did any trading with anyone to be completely clear this was all just in game.
Most of it besides the lake baiting was pretty straightforward, lots of grinding and just checklist stuff but the most interesting thing was that while I managed to get plenty of fire stone drops from mining I only ever got one thunderstone.
This was really exciting for me because it allowed me to evolve an Eevee into a Jolteon and do the tasks for it which actually ended up being pretty vital to being able to finish this without trying to do more baiting for Magicarp/Gyradoes (a very difficult thing to pull off constantly tbh) but like.... Why just the one? I had assumed by that point only fire stone drops were even possible at this stage in the game but clearly that's not true. If anyone can explain that to me I'd be interested to hear it.
Anyway if you liked this and appreciate the effort please consider sharing this because I put an embarrassing amount of effort into it. Thank you 🙏
