Manes

Pester Color so this can go on.

...then that probably should happen after the AI is ramped up. Having to grind isn't difficult. It's tedious, and it adds artificial difficulty. If you can do that, I'd be cool.

Gen VI-style EXP share. It's a joke in the official games, but this particular fangame's difficulty is ramped all the way up to 9, so it'd be a boon.

There's also the small problem of back sprites. Though I'm happy these were made.

In a nutshell: Orpha's unconscious because she took a blow from Odin's Deino, Odin has dissociative identity disorder, Vulpix quit , and a random guy got Togepi's egg. Which is fine since nobody would've gotten it anyway.

"...oooor I could go ahead and charge on my own. Yeah, thanks a lot." Telmaris ran back into the fray. There she stood, still scarred and battered. Her amber fur was cut in certain places, yet she stood, uncaring of her ill-fitting condition. "You know, you all need to chill out. So what if I'm dying now? So what if that girl is unconscious? Would she want you to get angry at me? No! She went out of her way to save my life on her own free will. She stood against you. She prevented you from making a mistake you'd regret. I've made my choice. If anyone can hone the power I hold in this miniature shell, it's her. I'll make it official as soon as she wakes up." Telmaris turned her gaze up north. "You know, we're halfway to Violet City. I'll go on ahead and scout the area. And If I hear you fighting again, God help me, I'm going to tell my friend to sing opera in front of all of you. That friend happens to be a Jigglypuff." The amber Zigzagoon ran up ahead, up, up to the Dark Cave. "It's alright if you don't wanna join, Hexad. Sorry for trying to goad you into it. It's my journey."

Oh lordy. Here I was having an interest in following through, and everyone just up and quits with nary a word. So much for jolly co-operation. Since everyone else quits, I might as well.

Looks like they all went to Aftermath. ...okay.

I will need to prepare accordingly. I need to make a coherent character first. A completely new one. :x

Is it, like... possible to join as a Pokémon? Or do I need a Pokémon and Trainer pair?

that feel when you suddenly get slapped the name dave and now you just have to roleplay him even though you are awful at impersonating the strider you just cant get this sick style down, yo i miss my proper grammar and shit can i have that back hold on i have to, like document this shit here http://gyazo.com/98f67b63b3bcad0a25d245d88d03509a

"Alright. So I'll explain what's going on: I think that... trainer... is... pardon my French... fucking insane. Literally. I heard her sobbing, then being hateful. Two personalities in a single human. That's why she's so dangerous. Poor Deino... I don't think he really wants to fight, but..." "So I'm going to need to know what you're capable of. Me---tackling, growling and leering are all I'm good at. And being a rare coloration. You, on the other hand... you can attack from a distance, can't you?" "... derp, I can't math right sometimes. The digital root of your number is six. So, Hexad."

Yeah, I did. Can't draw digitigrade quadrupeds correctly, though, so a closeup will have to do.

I didn't expect to make a 999 reference in a Pokémon RP. But there you go. Nonary Vulpix? Also: this is the first time I've drawn a Pokémon's paws. Sure it's Zigzagoon, but digitigrade and quadruped creatures have always given me trouble. And I'm not sure I'm going to get viable advice for that. :/

"...whoa. Numbers? Damn, talk about impersonal. Uhh... the digital root of that number is 9, so I'll call you Nonary. Is that okay?" Telmaris frowned at his later statement. "Yeah, see... the problem here is, I traveled with a human. They're entirely different from your experience. I didn't just have horrible experiences by the hands of humans. I also had made a promise to the one I was friends with. That I would see her wish come true. But for that, I need to travel across the world." She saw an opening in the cave, from which she saw the unconscious girl. "They're only as bad as Pokémon are. For example: that girl risked her life to save mine, just as you did." "But maybe I should show you this instead." She lifted her paw for the Vulpix to see. "I'm not alone. Six of us made a vow to go on a strange journey. But we've become scattered... you could say our Trainer died. So I have to look for the other five." She looked at him with pleading eyes. "Won't you come with me? You're the only one who showed me care. All other wild Pokémon showed me disdain... you're the only one who went out of his way to tend to my wounds. So it stands to reason that humans can't be worse." "...and right now, a human and her Deino are making a terrible mistake. Don't you at least care for the Deino?"

Skullkin, I'm kinda waiting for Vulpix's response.

I changed my mind, I can't really RP as him. .________.

The raccoon sighed. "Dissociative identity disorder... I thought this was just a sociopathic Trainer, but one who changes personalities on the fly is worse." Telmaris looked at the tag on her front paw. "Yep, they're all fine. If this is what the world is changing to, all six of us are in danger." She looked at Vulpix intently. "You know, Vulpix... one, I need a name so that I don't keep addressing you by species name while I talk in human tongue. It's demeaning to you. So I'm gonna need something else. Two---you can come with me and see what humans are really like. It will not always be pleasant. You will hate them sometimes, you will love them sometimes. If you wish to know more, then I have a dangerous task for you." There was much to do.

The Zigzagoon looked at the berry. "Oh hey. Am I gonna...?" She ate it, and felt her pain melt away, ache in her legs disappearing. She was back. She stood up. "Okay, yeah, that's better. Thanks. Uh, you don't mind if I talk like a human, right? I can understand Pokémon language, but I'm pretty bad at using it myself. Mostly because you really can't beat human vocals when it comes to communication." She awaited a response... surely the Vulpix understands, right? Judging by the mark Telmaris looked at, she probably did...

So here we have a people arguing against socialism, pointing fingers towards biased media, Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, cancer, sushi, and the fucking sky. But the fun thing is, that literally everyone is running in the dark. Informed decisions do not help if you have the same power as the village idiot. Gun restrictions backfire when guns were literally the only reason an entire country was able to become a, well, country. Freedom of speech and the right to a just trial are great things to strive for... combined, they're a disaster for justice. Democracy is just for show if you're fascist country (no, I'm not saying the US is). When your job relies on pleasing the audience that got you the job, you have to act as the persona you erected---whether you agree with him or not. If politicians must please a large audience to land their job, then it stands to reason they are no different than a pop culture celebrity. Please forgive my borderline schizophrenic ramblings. I wonder if anyone can shed some light into this plight with this spaghetti of ideas.
