On the off chance old members come poking around for nostalgia, might I recommend: [Also, SG can be reached via Discord at EssGee#5712 ] Home • Rules • Application • Link-BackOpen Premise Horizons does not subscribe to any singular Pokémon canon or one overall site plot. Instead, we have many smaller events and member-driven plots, making it easier for members new and old to get involved in big ways or to enjoy a more laid back slice-of-life experience with minimal pressure. We're non-linear travel and liquid time, meaning you can explore to your heart's content with no gating of areas. We have gyms, contests, breeding, and more, but everything is optional to suit your own tastes! Novice or Veteran, Play Your Way! New trainers start with up to 4 Pokémon, half of which can be evolved, meaning you can make an experienced trainer right out of the gate! Almost all Pokémon are available to choose, and the few that have restrictions can still be chosen as starters by giving up one or both of your evos, keeping things balanced while also allowing literally any non-Legendary line! If you want to be a novice trainer, you're free to take less and redeem your other "starter credits" at a later time!
For those reusing characters from other Pokémon boards, we also have an "Import" system, allowing you to bring over 10 (non-Legendary) Pokémon you've earned elsewhere upon application, and pick up 10 more at a time every month after! In this way, we hope to keep folks who have poured loads of work into their favorite characters from feeling like they have to start all over! Many Unique Factors The cities of Veria are very diverse, from a mountaintop city that's half underground to a haunted prairie town to a massive city-train! Modding is taken care of quickly and efficiently with our spawn generator and other tools. We give members full control over most wild or NPC-owned Pokémon once spawned to ensure you can tell the stories you want to tell, while also allowing mod-controlled opponents in Missions for more challenging experiences and plot twists. We're working on implementing our own Regional Variants-- Veria Forms akin to Alola Forms, or "Veriants" if you will-- to provide some of the freshness of fakemon while keeping all Pokémon familiar as well. And of course, we're always happy to hear new ideas! The sky's the limit! Join today!

X"3 I kind of.... was about to say hope so but don't know how I feel about that actually. I was annoyed that "XY = Male Chromosomes" and was jokingly saying I wanted someone to start a trolling social justice protest about "the peak of Pokemon's sexism" but I was like "shit people would legitimately unironically jump on that wouldn't they.." But with your suggestion.... Xerneas is a STAG. Stags are male and I don't-... xD; I don't want to see a female stag any more than a male Miltank or a male Jynx or a female maned-lion-thing. Not even like Luxray (I'm good with females having smaller manes but it wouldn't bug me like that anyway) but like a realistic-looking mane. And of course that would bug me less if it was 50/50 like Sawsbuck (I mean buck is in the name guys) because while I twitch I'm just like "eh I can forgive lack of huge gender differences." Plus there are species of deer/relatives where females have some horns too and I can suspension of disbelief. x'3; A female-ONLY stag or maned-lion though.. That bugs me. I... guuueeeessss it would be kind of interesting if Y was female because.... Idk it'd bug me switching it too but intentional inversions of names (like Greenland/Iceland?) doesn't bug me a fifth as much as a female-only stag would. x'3;

x3;;; No MC you're being ridiculous. It is THE GOD DAMNED MOTHER FUCKING ALPHABET. Get the fuck over it.
GOD FORFUCKINGBID TWO COMPANIES INDEPENDENTLY DECIDE TO USE *THE ALPHABET*. FUCKING COPYRIGHT SCANDALS UP IN THIS BITCH, YO.
BECAUSE SPECIFIC ARCHETYPES ARE LYEK TOTEZ WAY MORE GENERIC THAN THE BASIS FOR THE MAJORITY OF ALL WESTERN LANGUAGES.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M CUSSING A LOT TONIGHT OR WHY I'M USING ALL CAPS.
I'm going to blame it on several kinds of simultaneous cramps/soreness and the fact that I've been trying to sleep for almost two hours and haven't been able to stop shaking/stimming long enough to have a chance idefk.
XD;; And ah... I guess the third germ layer could be pretty uh... yeah? But I mean I wouldn't have thought of X and Y as those things if they hadn't been pointed out. And now I look and go, "Huh, I suppose I can see how that could have been somewhat inspiring for part of this design," so I mean it doesn't have to be a huge thing, nyeh?
Though I think everyone is forgetting actually that "third part legend" didn't become a thing until third gen. In first the version mascots were starters including Pikachu and in second Gen a comparatively random legend got the spotlight in the third game (not that I'm complaining). There was no 'third part' to Ho-oh and Lugia, and there was no 'big duo' at all in first gen unless you count Mewtwo and Mew, which have an entirely different hierarchy than anything that came later with the closest being Phione and Manaphy, and that's still a wide stretch.
So "Z" isn't guaranteed. IF there's a third part, though, it should be Z. Omega would be acceptable but a tad sketchy unless it WAS the literal last ever, being both 'end of alphabet' and 'end of series'.

XD;;; Yeah MC that's like... saying that everything "ABC" ripped off the Jackson 5 because they wrote a song including it once. (That doesn't begin to cover that Yu-Gi-Oh! should have died after the first series or done more with those characters instead of introducing increasingly overdone ones in increasingly ridiculous plots, but still.)
That's like saying that Pokemon ripped off Crayola by naming versions/characters "Red", "Green", etc. xD
It's like saying every fire fox ever made ripped off the web browser. xP
No the third one is obviously Zsomething. Whether or not we get a "Z Version" is to be seen of course, as we could get X2 and Y2 or no expansions this round or something entirely new. About the only way I'd accept a non-Z thing (because as great as something random like Q would be, my OCD must be satisfied, and FUCK A BUNCH OF 649 BULLSHIT THEY BETTER NOT DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN) is if it was "Pokemon Omega".
xD Of course if they do that (1) a few boards I've seen with that title will feel ripped off and (2) if they ever do a Gen7, fans will EXPLODE. "YOU ALREADY DID GOD *AND* OMEGA, OMEGA MEANS THE END, OH MY GOD GAMEFREAK STAHP."
As for bodies or dimensions...
Can't it be both?

Right also a long-ass time ago my own shitty Fire starter was a wolf pup. x'3 I later scrapped it for being utter shit. And yelled at my best fakemon-making partner for wanting to make a fire lion because fuck no everyone did that and no.

Ursaring is a bear with a ring on its belly. You can argue its shoulder fur is a little but noteworthy but that's a weak argument at best. Mareep has cartoony colors and a big weird tail, and stripes on its cartoony EARS. Yellow-ish wool isn't even that rare IRL though. Turtwig has a shell with big patches of dirt in it, and it has a HUGE cartoony jaw. Squirtle has a swirly tail and stands upright and is blue, but with a more generic face and a plain shell. It might have one point over Turtwig. One and a half tops. Chimchar has a unique cartoony swirl of hair on its head and unrealistic eye markings-- which gives it two more unique traits than CHARMANDER which is literally a bipedal lizard with fire on its tail. And lizards can be that color so that doesn't work for your argument. If we go evos, Blastoise is a bigger turtle with cannons. The cannons are kind of cool, but "adding a weapon to a real creature" isn't big on originality points by your logic. Torterra is a FUCKING ISLAND TURTLE with spikes and awesomeness. Blastoise's face looks like Bowser while Torterra's looks like a badass. Charizard is THE MOST GENERIC DRAGON IN POKEMON WITH FIRE ON ITS TAIL. The shape of its horns is the most original thing going for it, and the mildly annoying colors/marking are the literally only other thing. Meanwhile, Infernape is an interesting interpretation of the legend of the Monkey King with unique but tribute-paying markings/decor while still incorporating its fiery element. And no, MC, you have missed my point by ten thousand percent. It's not that it's a generic animal. It's that it's THE MOST generic animal drawn in the MOST generic way THAT EVERY FAN EVER has also drawn. Watch just this one video that I didn't make and look at all the cats/dogs/foxes you see (and four-legged pawed mammals in general, including quite a few bear cubs that come out kind of similarly, but we don't even NEED to count them). The one at 1:19 is especially great for my point. If I had the time and drive I could find SO many more you wouldn't even believe it, but the fact that a single random video that was the first thing to come up when I searched "fake pokemon starters" is already so supportive should say a lot. (Ignore that a few of the "fakes" are stylized actual Pokemon this maker seems kind of dumb. x3; ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQx8I6lehNg(Edit: I lied, I dared to hit the browse button on dA.

@jay: Man Fossa would be awesome. xD Like idc if from Fennekin or on its own they're just pretty cool. --- @mc: x'3;Except your interpretation of this painting is blatantly wrong. That's like both of us looking at a triangle and you saying "that looks like a square", and me saying "no it's a triangle" and you saying "I don't care to me it looks like a square". You can think it all you want but it doesn't make it one ounce of valid to the rest of the world until you can find any basis at all I'm sorry. x3;; And heaven forbid any Pokemon ever look too much like a regular old animal or an animal with just some cartoony colors and/or markings and/or minor decor like leaves or flames tacked on like I couldn't even imagine a Pokemon world where that was a common thing across all generations.

I love Fennecs but that doesn't change how terrible Fennekin is. x'3; Aywas has also ruined me a bit because I am so tired of seeing big-eared fluffy cat/dog/fox/generic creatures. (Like really guys do you know how long Espeon was my favorite Eon just because it was the closes thing to a fennec? x'3; I mean Umbreon stole its thunder because my crush/boyfriend's avatar/username (for several years in the Gen2-Gen3 era anyway) was Shiny Umbreon but aside from specifically reminding me of him Espeon was still there being awesome and secretly preferred in many cases. Annnd then I got a bit annoyed of it when it became near Mew status in overdone over-played-up-ness (no guys great as they are no Eeveelutions are Legendary in any region, unless you're counting the Legendary Beasts as Eons due to the probability of their preincarnations being some) and fell more in love with Eevee on its own and HOLYSHITGUYSLEAFEON grew on me after it came out and yeah but still. Also I did a huge visual report on fennecs in sixth grade it was great and I went to an animal reserve place that had one once but she was snappy and moody and couldn't be pet even though she was close enough to be and I WAS SO SAD because man fennecs are SO GREAT on their own but that doesn't mean I have to like everything based on one. X3;;; When I think about it I WOULD PROBABLY BE ONLY MILDLY ANNOYED at "wow there are like a thousand fakes that look just like this" and be able to get over it for my utter fennec love IF FENNEKIN WASN'T A STARTER or even a TEENSY chance if it wasn't a FIRE starter just ALL THOSE THINGS ADDING UP I CAN'T I'M SORRY.) And MC, turtles are "amphibious" in that they live part of their lives in water, but biologically they're reptiles. (Tere is right in that tortoises are not amphibious in any sense, though Turtwig rather than Squirtle is what would be applicable to what I was saying since I was discussing only Grass starters.) The arguable grass starter is Bulbasaur, which is "saur" like dinosaur and has claws and shit but is also rather similar in structure to a frog, and its Japanese name more reflects that iirc. The others are a blatant dinosaur (which may not technically be a reptile but is still reptilian and generally regarded as "giant lizards" even if they're more related to birds), a gecko (reptile), tortoise (reptile), and snake (reptile). Now we finally get a mammal<3 (A bird would have been great but yeah.) For Fire, we have a lizard/dragon (reptile) with slight salamander-ness (technically amphibian but lizard-shaped and Charmander veers more reptilian as it evolves), a mole/badger (mammal), a chicken/birdman (bird), a monkey (mammal), and a pig (mammal). If anything it's pretty mammal-heavy with two thirds of starters now being them. Still, it's not as bad as Grass. And then Water, where we have a turtle/tortoise (reptile), crocodile (reptile), axolotl (amphibian), penguin (bird), and an otter/sea lion (mammal), and now a frog (amphibian). Like man. Water is great it has the most variety and the biggest balance. But no MC. You are literally digging for similarities; I gave you a massive list of differences between Chespin and Oshawott and you've yet to provide any more similarities than what I listed myself. Speaking of, that was all of three, and I'd like to remove one upon seeing a larger/clearer image, because Chespin's nose is considerably less obtrusive and a triangle where Oshawott's is much larger and an oval. You tell me what you see that's similar that can't be justified by "Pokemon has a recognizable style like any good series" (which includes things like "the ways they draw eyes" and "vague body proportions" that make things "look like a Pokemon" more than looking "like" any specific other Pokemon, because God DAMN if they DO veer too far from the style you all bitch that "it looks like a Digimon/Yu-Gi-Oh/Power Rangers/wtfever". x3;; Damned if they do and damned if they don't much?) and I'll consider the vague possibility your point is worth listening to. Because I see NOT ONE SINGLE TRAIT. x'3; Also show me what is as bad as Fennekin because I can probably dig up at least a dozen Fakemon that look almost just like it without even including people's fake Eeveelutions. (And if I go for those hot damn we'll be swimming in several hundred nearly identical recolors, most but probably not all of which will have slight additions like bug wings or cloud wisps but not much else.) I am FAIRLY sure I would have thrown a hissy fit already if they'd already done something like it but like I said Aywas has helped ruin me so maybe I really just didn't notice and it's slipping my mind now.

x'3; I'm legitimately disappointed guys, I FUCKING DESPISE that generic-ass obnoxious fennec. (I DO have some hope for its evos though. BUT I FUCKING SWEAR IF IT'S FIRE/FIGHTING. x'3 (Though that kind oflooked like Psywave or something it was using?? ...In which case I'ma scream Victini but yeh.))
Literally the only thing I can appreciate about it, other than being a fennec and I mean I love fennecs in general, is that it EVEN FURTHER invalidates the I'd-be-willing-to-bet-literally-thousands-or-at-least-hundreds of Fakemon cat/dog/fox starters, especially fire-types (which are the most prevalent among fakes too). I've spent too many years bitching at all of them to NOT be pissed when Nintendo does it themselves. xD Fox is still SLIGHTLY better than a cat or dog but man.
CAN I SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE CHESPIN THOUGH?? IT ONLY TOOK SIX GENERATIONS TO GET A NON-REPTILE(/arguably amphibian for all of one) GRASS STARTER.

D: Aww, what was it, Z3ro? Even if it's not great to start we could possibly morph it into something.

Post by Admiral Striker General on Aug 14, 2012 12:24:31 GMT -5
;w; I'm sorry I've been so out of commission.
Sooooo....
First there was the muse loss.
Then July 13-19 was Aywas's annual Scavenger Hunt, which when I think about it would possibly be a cool thing to kind of do around here when people are a bit more active. ... x3; Of course, I have no idea what could be offered as a prize that isn't seriously devalued at this point, but whatever.. Anyway, Scav was a thing where rather than finding as many things as we could, teams of people were DOING as many things as we could. I built an epic little clay sculpture, and another derpier (but cuter) one out of peanut shells, and drew a lot of things both digitally and traditionally, and painted my old computer tower, and so-on. Flora's parents got to hear things like "brb making 20-foot dragon plush" (which she BS'd together in about half an hour, it was amazing x'3). Two of our other teammates went to the zoo, but didn't get enough pictures, so then Thom and I went to the zoo here too, and one of the prior two put together their pictures and our pictures into a slideshow showing real animals that had Aywas pets based on them, etc. Elayne and Flora and several other people and I collabbed for what ideally would have been a 75,000 word novel but had partial credit available, and we got up to like 18,000 I think.
8'3 Needless to say it was crazy and hectic. Afterward I was completely burnt out on everything for several days.
Also, Scav is why VC didn't get a birthday present I'm so sorry. ;w; When I realized it was going to fall right in the middle of Scav Week I really did try to pump something out beforehand to just throw up really quick on the day-of, but I just couldn't seem to come up with anything and the few people I'd asked for suggestions seemed pretty dry as well so yeah I'm sorry I didn't forget though. ;w;
THEN, from July 26th to August 7th, FLORA WAS HERE IN MY HOUSE<3 It was amazing. We did things like go to a go-kart/various-other-small-rides/arcade place and saw Brave (a second time for me but it's great and she hadn't seen it and her mom took us and also really liked it so it was great) and unpacked boxes (x'3; yeah, see below) and played games and drew in each other's notebooks and lay in the floor for a few hours one night coming up with names for My Little Porny characters (like "Barity" and "Cheeri-lay" and "Princess Moon-ya"; obviously we just stole Princess Molestia from the internet :B). It was the best. Also her mom got me Pokemon Conquest as an early birthday present and that is amazing and has filled a lot of my time since Flora left. x'3
We also moved a few days after she got here; some of you know we had moved in with Thom's sister who is now our next-door neighbor while they were finishing our house. Those of you who don't know, that was also a thing that happened in early June and the house took much longer than expected and that's another reason I've been less active because I had less personal time and had to chase the kids a lot more when we were over there.
But yes so after moving we also lost internet and while I could very rarely connect to sis-in-law's signal from here (usually only on the porch though it was especially nice for whatever reason the last net-less day I had) we didn't get actual internet hooked up until yesterday. 8'3 But now I am back online.
...Which doesn't mean back to VC because now I'm applying for an actual job on Aywas. x3; And I don't mean like "oh I like this website more than VC I want to do stuff there instead", I mean this would pay a hundred real dollars a week for me to do art things. :B I'm sure odds are pretty slim as they're only hiring four people at the moment (and this is also kind of a trial thing to see if it's in the budget to continue doing so even if I did get it there's no guarantee it'd last), and on its own that money barely qualifies as a job, but holy shit a hundred extra dollars a week to do things that I would more or less do anyway? x'3; Yeah I have to at least try.
:B So yeah that's going to absorb a few more days minimum along with getting caught up with various things from being offline so long and then IIIIFFFFF I'm lucky and they like my work (8'D though I actually feel kind of decent about my chances because I'm sort of in love with what little work I've done so far and also that was for the easy part of the application and now getting into the harder parts I'm trudging through but getting hopeful that maybe a lot of people who would have been attracted enough by that cash offer to apply will actually get discouraged and quit over the hard stuff?? so keep your fingers crossed for me 83 I'd do it myself but that would make it harder to dra--*MAULED* X3 Oh come on what SG rant is complete without a bad joke?)-- but yes, if they like my work, I'll be doing on average two pets a day to meet my quota on top of any stuff I do for my various freelance art shops. :B
X3;;; BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I've been thinking off and on about VC lately and had some ideas for new/altered mechanics and some various other things to make it more fun/challenging/etc. :B So hopefully you'll eventually hear about those.

As planned, she grabbed a menu from a stack near the far end of the bar and carried it with her as she checked a few tables. Most were fine, considering she'd just made rounds not long ago, but a few at one table wanted some plain beers and wine coolers of various brands, which Alex was prompt to retrieve.
This managed to kill a good several minutes before she finally started hobbling back toward Jemma and Carly, menu still in hand.
