Pokemon Se7en - Currently on hiatus
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Tomas Elliot's topic in Fan-game Exposé
Na, I mean the Steel Typing. Most of the other Pollution based mons are only Mono-Poison. However, while all pollution is technically man-made Nuclear power jsut kinda feels like... the epitome in a way... something that definitely only we'd be capable of... dunno, it jsut think it's fitting of getting another type than just being singular poison like the others. I guess I feel that Radiation is the almost destirutive pollution becuase if it gets out the effects are known for a long time and they destroy so much more in a short span of time than any other. ((as any nuclear accidents can attest to. Hell... near where I live is Three Mile Island a Nuclear paltn that had a meltdown in my home state of Pa a while back. It's been like... 20 years maybe since that happened and people that live near there still get disturbed anti-radiation medicine and it's been that long afterwards, Radiation is just no joke. And no, I don't live within the area they do that I just know they still do it XD. I'm out of the "blast zone" so to speak lol.)) -

Yea I wouldn't know... I still don't even know how I ended up in this thing. It just feels like it's been forever at this point. However I don't know and awful lot other than how it eventually became a sorta Muk expy in the vein that it's the Poison mon based on pollution. ((though it could be argued it's not a proper one due to it's non mono poison typing however... I kinda feel that Radiation and Nuclear based one's deserve the strange other typing since they are suuuuper man-made more so than other types imo...)) Any besides the point... I don't know if the line was always intended this with this in mind as it was pretty much entirely complete by the time I was even around in the project. (( Hell, a lot of mons were finished by then. It part of the reason i ended up making a lot of Single stagers... it's more because I like making mons that don't have to keep getting more and more complex since I can take a concept and run with it, but not have to worry about blowing it out over three stages. I've only made 1 3 stager.)) So, it's Zim waitin' time lol. I'm sure he can enlighten you on that a bit more than I really can. ((and even when I can't I still post a decent text wall. Starting to wonder if I talk to much...)) -

Eh if Derpy deems it worth his time I'll let him, but I'm not going to pester him about it. It's one post really and I made pretty clear I feel that it's not the case so I'm not going to get too uppity and "DESTROY ALL THE EVIDENCES!!!" Since well... it's one post right now in a mountain of other posts. I'm just quelling it before it can become something. I don't think it's too prudent when it's pretty much solved as is, and Derpy's just got bigger fish to fry than some super simple bookkeeping stuff. ((other mods not of this forum specifically as well.)) So, i'm not going to worry about it too much since well... yea It's a bit silly to go to that length. Also, rule of thumb, no one ever upvotes anything I post ever because no one actually likes me. I'm k with that though and have learned to live with it. Can't all be well likeded. -

We also don't really need mis-information in our thread. We're not claiming to be and are not a Prequel for Reborn. I'd rather you not be telling people we are. And... I'm not doing this to be a jerk. It's actually not something we cann't afford. We are NOT going for an experience remotely like Reborn. This is a Fake-mon based game without the field effects etc...a.k.a. not like Reborn at all. Even jokingly saying it's a Prequel to Reborn can be catastrophic for us.Those that visit this thread know what this game really is etc... but people just popping in for the first time may not. And later down the line they might hear it by word of mouth. If there's rumors of it being a Prequel to Reborn... and they find a different experience... that might turn players completely off having not found what they wanted. It may also make some not even play or give it a chance. So... Don't care if it's for fun or a joke etc... it could legitimately bring us issues if such a rumour exists because we DO NOT WANT to be Reborn, we are going for a very different experience and one that's nothing like it. Associating us with it could really really hurt the game in a very real way. That needs to be understood. It's not a laughing matter to me when that could actually effect how our game does. Word of mouth is very important in the Fan-Game department. If you put out mis-information it could actually hurt us in the long run. So, your little conspiracy theories are cute and nice and all, but really... think before you do. Even something you think is small, could have a huge impact on us later. So before we all start yelling that I'm no fun etc...I'm quashing this down for a reason. We don't need things coming back to bite us in the butt when we are trying to get out there and be our own thing. Shoving us under Reborn's shadow will cripple us beyond belief, so don't even do it as a joke. Because on the internet it's hard to tell what is a joke and whats real information. ((the amount of times I see people quote parody news articles thinking it's legit news is a testament to that statement.)). So, don't associate us with something that we have 0 ties with Narratively. We do not want to be associated with Reborn in a game sense. Yes we use the site etc... however, this doesn't mean we want our game to falsely be seen as a Prequel. Not to mention... it be a bit disrespectful imo to pretend you can make a Prequel to someone else's work. That's like a parasite trying to leech on to something and feed off it. We're not about that, and I don't really think even as a joke it's all that funny. In short... just don't do it. We don't claim to be tied to any other fan-games and we don't want to be. We are our own thing entirely, and attaching us even us a joke... will actually do us harm if people aren't careful. Our experience is different or aims to be different from other fan games as we can be. We gotta think ahead and stuff like that being out there has the potential to confuse and misdirect the people that may want to enjoy the game we are providing and them coming in and not getting what they expect will usually end in disaster for us. Keep that in mind when doing those things.Is it unlikely? Yes. However, that doesn't make it impossible. If it's out there it has the potential. I'd rather there be no potential since we're already going to have a climb to get somewhere. Let's not make our climb that much steeper please. Always keep this in mind. Your words have more effect then jsut you and in this thread. They ripple out and can cause things to happen. Even if the ripples are small, they are still there and they can still effect things. So, be careful with things that you say... because they might not come back to bite you, but to bite someone else. -

Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Tomas Elliot's topic in Fan-game Exposé
Time for another announcement!!! And this one's guaranteed to melt your steely heart into a nasty mess of nuclear waste. So get your Geiger Counters ready and pack a healthy dose of Radaway for our next little friend: NUCLOM!!! The Particle Pokemon! A Poison/Steel Type, a Pokemon that represents one of few man-made pollutions that Pokemon has yet to cover, Radiation and Nuclear pollution. Nuclom's are pretty hard for humans to deal with as they munch down on Nuclear Power supplies making it very unsafe for the workers and the nearby area. But, look at that face. Can you say no to that face? And even if you say no... Nuclom can melt Steel beams... so they can probably sneak in anyway. Nuclom is even so Radioactive that it has it's own unique ability called that... Radioactive. It's a lot like Poison Touch except that instead of a chance to inflict Poison... it inflicts a Badly Poisoned status. It allows one to sometimes get a Toxic Poison off for freeeeeeee. And who the heck doesn't like free things? I know I do. After all, everything is free for me, Plague Knight since I can make gold out of rat skulls and twine. ((Alchemy Kids... it does wonders.)) However, it also acts like Poison Point as well. On contact with Nuclom you can also be badly poisoned. It allows one to forgo taking Toxic, getting a moveslot to do something else like have more coverage. Pretty sweet deal if you don't mind the chance of it not happening. If on a turn you attack with a contact move and are hit by one, you have two chances to badly poison. Not half bad if you ask me. HEE HEE!!! It's definitely worth considering dropping Toxic as a result. Don't forget Toxic is 100% certain to hit ((even on mons in the semi-invulnerable turn of something like Fly.)) on a Poison Type Pokemon, so you do lose the certainty of inflicting it if you don't use it, therefore it really is a choice that needs to be made. Pokemon Se7en... adding a bit of interesting to your status move decisions. In closing, Poison Types don't get a crazy amount of love, but I think this little guy really does make a strong case for them. Which is awesome because I, Plague Knight! , know that Poison Types are the best of types. No ands, ifs, or buts. ((also... it kicks Fairy butt... so that's a super plus.)) -
What is/are your favourite inanimate object based pokemon?
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to TimTim's topic in Pokémon Fan Club
Missing Chimecho and Chingling ((based on a type of Wind Chime, while the prevo is based on a Suzu bell something used at Shinto Shrines.)), Grimer and Muk if counting Weezing since they are also based on pollution. Bronzong and Bronzor, with Bronzer being based on Bronze Mirrors, and Bronzong being based on a particular type of bell said to bring good harvest in Japan. ((there's also a myth that they are both believed to be a reference to but I'd rather not hash out that whole thing.)) Also missing the dreaded Ice Cream line with Vanilluxe and it's prevos. Cryogonal is also one as it's based on Snowflakes and possibly Mirrors. All the Porygons do as well imo as they are representations of computer programs and how they can evolve or... become bugged and chaotic in the case of Porygon-Z. The bird like shape really isn't... a part of their design it just happens to be there. Prygon oringnal doesn't look like anything but a mess of polygons, Porygon 2 shows what can be done when tech is better and able to shape graphics while as mentioned before Z is what happens when a virus gets introduced. Unown are like... based on language and letters ((though I can understand why you skipped those guys lol.)) Castform is also similar in idea to the Teru Teru Bōzu as they are dolls used to wish for weather and usually... have their heads cut off to symbolize the the wish for good weather. ((this is why Castform is in the Body Shape group of mons consisting of only a head.)) Castform is a pretty dead ringer to be a reference to this. Baltoy and it's evo Claydoll are based on Dogū, or a type of strange cly figure that were found in Japan that have no known purpose. Drifloon and Drifblim are both based on different types of Balloon. ((inb4 they are ghost that doesn;t count... eh... sorry but in this instance I am cause they aren't really implied to be possessed like some other ghosts types are heavily implied that they are... I could also argue all of those could go on this list but eh...like personally I'd count all of them since they are still based on that object jsut it being possessed. The spirit clearly can;t leave it and becomes part of the object in every case other than Rotom)) Roggenrola's line also is references to geodes as they grow more and more crystals as the line goes on. ANd I'm pretty sure there's more that I could put but eh. It deosn't feel fair to put up a poll and not include a looooooooot of the mons that are in that category but everyone's decided shouldn't exist and therefore ignore them. After all, some people really really like those mons. It's kinda not cool to jsut be like "Na, these ones aren't worthy of being liked" and not include them in the poll. Now, not saying that was the intent here but there's a lot more of the Inanimate Mons than listed. I think it's only fair I name some of them so they aren't jsut forgotten. ((excuse if I seem a bit rude here lol, it's not my point. I'm just used to stickin' up for the little guys since my favourite mon is Farfetch'd... I'm very used to people being like "I don't even know what that is." or the inevitable "That thing is trash how can oyu like it?" jokes. I guess I just have to be the champion of the little guy XD.)) -
There is another anime like One Punch Man?
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to cosca's topic in General Discussion
I'm pretty sure One Punch Man is a unique thing and something just like it... definitely doesn't exist. It just... I dunno I don't think's anything that really matches it in the way it does what it does. I mean... I think they covered the amount of villains that would have made up an entire arc in another anime literally in a single episode. ((I mean number two, without spoiling things to much... all the characters that just get insta-gibbed there... in any other anime probably could have been a whole arc... however not in one Punch Man XD.)). It's hard to truly recommend anything that's well... in the same vein cause nothing really is XD. Some other over the top Actiony things might be a good start though. HEE! This show funnily enough is my current "Turn your brain off and just enjoy the next 30 minutes of crazy" show. That's not to insult it, it's just my show I watch when I've got nothing else to do and I love it for that reason. It's just so zany and weird and I love it. -
Vixen and the Mediators. Vixen's eyes had been shut the entire time time up until directly asked that question. She didn't really care who was hear nor what they needed to discuss. She had lives and people to save not mediators to worry about. "Well... if it's not to much of a bother for you and your friends here. After all your business seems very important. Not like mine has anything to do with saving lives, though you could argue that yours does as well. No matter. I have lives to save now Ihdrelic You very well know what my question is and why it's a waste of time to ask me directly. I've told you about the draconian beast that descended the other day and how powerful it is. More powerful than any beast I have known until this point. Despite knowing that which you say has awakened... it can;t pose a threat to something that's already dead and if this first beast is not dealt with there would be no need to deal with what comes after it. One cannot track a beast that flies easily from the ground. Therefor I once again ask if this beast has been seen, where it was last seen, who it was seen with, and anything other information that can help me to find it. Unless you want this whole city to be a burning pile of ash. You won't have very many left to help against the Terrasque if this Dragon's rampage continues. It's something that can easily fell the strongest of magi if not taken care of. So, I suggest any one with information come forward with it unless they want more than half of this city to burn in the coming weeks." Clearly, not the happiest of speeches. However the words would've rung true, at least to anyone with common sense. Whatever the Terrasque was there was going to need to be manpower out there to destroy it, and this powerful of a beast depleting he numbers of magi would not be good for a coming battle with an even more powerful force. It needed to be dealt with as swiftly as possible that way a proper and real force could be maintained in the event that the Terrasque was a very very real threat. Vixen herself still wasn't sure of the Terrasque's existence however... she did know that i there was even a grain of truth in it other monster needed to be dealt with to limit the amount of fronts they needed to fight on and focus on. Simple strategy that any person should be able to grasp. After all, it was one of the basics, don't spread yourself thin. The more thin the resources the easier it was for things to start crumbling down around you. Even these Mediators had to know that, ever if they weren't tacticians or fighters. Some wore business suits, they clearly fought on the battle field of business, a very similar field. Some would clearly understand her point, at least... she believed so. Finite resources were precious and couldn't just be squandered. People weren't easy to replace in short amount of time so in the short term they were finite. It took nearly 18 years for a human to even be usable... and it was no guarantee that'd they'd become a magus. While she didn't like thinking about people like resources... weapons... objects, she had to in this scenario. People were a commodity that would be needed in the future, in this battle.

Ymora Academy Chapter 1: Bonds [IC]
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Chim's topic in Unofficial Official RP Club's General
Female Dorms "Of course, not a problem. You must be fine if that's the first thing that comes to mind." Drake said giggling. She quickly grabbed one of them and tossed it to Addy in a sort of lazy fashion. It'd be easy for anyone to catch such a thing. Well... unless they were a super klutz which Addy was proving to be at this rate. After all she'd fallen in at least 2 if not more in the span of about an hour. Either that or Drake had some sort of Klutz aura that just made people super clumsy for some reason. She pushed the silly thought from her mind. Whisper had in the meantime lain down on the floor and fallen asleep. Her soft snoring in the room. She must have been exhausted from the small amount of time she was out in the hall and during registration. Poor thing. Nerves did that to a person and apparently a Pokemon. She looked cute curled into a little ball on the floor. "After all, Food makes a good impression doesn't it?" Drake said to Addy. It usually did, even Emberly liked to bring food along the first time she met somebody. It was a nice gift pretty much anybody would like therefore it was always a good ice-breaker. Since her parents were chefs and loved it so much even Drake had picked up a small amount of skills related to it. One might wonder why she ended up as a Trainer if that was the case... however that would be a story for another day. Either way, she saw a few people gathered off in the distance. Must be what Addy wanted the fruit for. She wasn't very intrigued in the process of getting there. After all she wouldn't fit out the window and otherwise would have to go around and out through the front door. Besides the crowd probably would've moved by the time she got out there. She also didn't want to leave Whisper on her own since if the pup woke up and found herself all alone she might get scared and that would end with a lot of scorch marks in their room. She'd rather that not happen. -
I'll second this, however I'll add a caveat. It won't be as much a problem since you'll know about it beforehand but still it's worth a warning. I know quite a few who dropped this anime because it starts out very action heavy and seems more like an Adventure type one at first. However a bit in it turns into more of a Mystery and it slows down a bit and gets more cerebral and becomes more about figuring out what's happening etc... Personally, I loved this and was hooked on it. However, others it was a turn off which is understandable. Knwoing nothing about the series going in some ended up being disappointed in it. I can;t really blame them too much. However, I'm pretty sure you;ll like it especially knowing what you're in for rather than going in totally blind. There's also more to the story in the Light Novels if you so choose to read those. ((which I've yet to do since... Overlord is amazing and I started those first XD> I'm still in love with Overlord XD.))

Favorite Animation Studio/Animation Style?
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Flux's topic in General Discussion
To be fair, this Forum is actually called Animation and Manga for a reason and not just Anime and Manga. While it's more implied to be to about a particular Eastern Media((a.k.a Anime))... it's not just limited to only that. Western Animation is also allowed to be talked about here or anywhere else in this forum as the name was designed to fit this lol. After all, it's easier to just use this place to talk about not only Eastern Anime based animation styles, but ones used in the West as well as it's a bit more tailored towards them than say... just the normal old Radio Tower. So while this thread is probably more intended to be towards Anime and that particular media, it's not entirely correct to say that things like Disney or other Western Animation houses((I don't think that's the right way to say that... Studios whatever...HEE HEE!!!)) aren't allowed to be talked about here. Least... that's my opinion. ((and it was discussed that between Auth that that is the reason it's Animation and Manga. Therefore it was thought of before I was in charge of this little forum HEE!)) So... it's perfectly legit to actually discuss that stuff here if one so wanted to. Even if this thread is probably supposed to be more tailored towards well... you know, Anime. Keep that in mind folks. -
So, I'm definitely definitely interested. I personally don't like to play younger characters and tend to usually go with as old as possible though... However think I can make an exception every now and then. HEE HEE HEE! However just a quick question... would magic ever manifest in a person to the point ti would effect their appearance? Just curious.

Hmmm, it think Trainer's Journal might be a good place to put this. HEE!!! After all it's sharing the result of your games with us. Or you could storyize it and tell the events that happen in game as if they were a story!!! It would take more work that way but you could definitely turn it into a fun CW project for the Creative Writing forums. If you'd like anymore detail don't be afraid to pm as I'd love to discuss the craft with you or help out in anyway if you need it. I'll be happy to help wither way you do it.

Ymora Academy [OOC / Sign-Ups Closed]
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Chim's topic in Unofficial Official RP Club's General
I mean that because you've basically told me that I have to participate in this scene. I'd already decided I don't really want to. I'm not saying I'd entirely avoid it forever... its just I don't really want to add to a scene that's already huge with a character that I know I'm going to react poorly too since I've seen two odd posts and wouldn't know how i could with it it being a horrible mess of bleeeeeeeeeeeeh. And I'm not twisting your words. I'm going with exactly what you're giving me. Which is that I have no choice and this matter. Setting up intuitive etc... also means I'm allowed to choose NOT to be part of a scene as well. I will choose where I want to get involved and when I want to etc... But right now you're basically choosing for me. If I don't want to be in this particular scene it means I don't want to be in this one. But apparently if I choose not to participate that means I never want to. It's you who twisting my words and trying to make me seem like that bad guy here. I'm doing absolutely nothing wrong. Part of freedom is allowing me to also have the choice to not participate in this particular scene. Saying that I have to be takes away my agency. Apparently, I'm not allowed for Emberly to not really care about some person being loud at the end of the hall. Not everyone would go check that out. If you want true intuitive and true independence you have to allow us to choose NOT to participate as well. But I'm apparently not allowed this option in this instant. This is what you are telling me. And because I don't want to and I've decided to stay out of the scene you are saying that I'm being uncooperative and that I don't want to participate. I want to in the RP, but I should be allowed to choose to do it in my way and not be forced into things which is what you're doing right now and your're trying to make me look like I'm the one in the wrong. Nobody is wrong here... stop trying to make it look like I'm doing something bad or incorrect. I'm not, I've just chosen to not participate in this scene because A. I don't really see a way that makes sense or that I'd feel comfortable with B. it's already too big and I'd rather not add more chaos directly to it, and C. It's my choice. I can do my own things elsewhere as well or come in after there's another development. I don't have to insert myself now. So, do I really have freedom Chim if I'm not allowed to take my own intuitive and not be in a scene? TL:DR If I don't have the choice to not participate in a scene then I have no choice. Therefore your intuitive and your freedom in this RP are both entirely illusions and it has neither of them. I don't want to be in this scene as I see zero good way to interact in it without adding a bunch of white noise etc that literally doesn't matter. Unless I have a hook that I want to pursue or a reason to get involved in that scene I will be waiting for Tacos to post after mine. ((Since I'm hanging there.)). If I have a reason to put Emberly in that other scene I would, but I have no real reason to do so right now. If you want people to truly take intuitive Chim you can't just force them into scenes. That's not them taking it, that's you taking it for them. That's what you're trying to do to me right now or at least how I see it at the moment. And sorry if it's annoying but you need to allow me to have the freedom to that if I want to. If I had a reason that I could see to get involved other than you wanting me too ((which is not a character reason, Emberly in my mind has no reason to care about that scene going on. I'm not about to force my character into a random scene for no reason.)) -
Ymora Academy [OOC / Sign-Ups Closed]
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Chim's topic in Unofficial Official RP Club's General
Tacos is legitimately busy and hasn't been able to post. ((pretty sure he would have by now. However I can;t speak for him... I'm not him.)) Just cause I'm not particularly interested in that doesn't mean I'm not considering people. Scene is already large enough without me inserting Emberly into it and I don't particularly want to anyway. Those two things lining up just so happens to work out for me. Taco's character and what he does with his character is none of my business. I can't control any of that. He's not held back on my account. He's held back by not having the time I would assume. ((To my knowledge the scene was left hanging on something Emberly said, not the other way around. Therefore I'd need to wait on Tacos for that to resolve before just randomly leaving. Or I could just leave but I don't think Emberly would do that. After all... her roommate just fell through an open window. She wouldn't really be paying attention to a Pokemon floating around off in the distance in my opinion.)) But, if you'd rather force me to participate in something that I don't really want to make bigger than it already is especially with a player who not here at the moment in it since he's not here ((Dobbs.)) FIne I guess. But, this means by your word I'm not allowed to have any freedom and everyone else is, or if I don't comply to that no one else gets it either. That a pretty shitty ultimatum your putting on my head. Which is bullshit and as a host you shouldn't be doing that. Cause that's what you're telling me right now. "Do what I want you to or no one gets to do what they want". How's that any fair to them? -

Anyway, HEE!!! I'm just not very interested in that scene. Not going to lie. That's why I haven't really posted. -
