Oh yeah just as a heads up, I was not the one who came up with the comeback date, that was someone else and I just went with it, but I think it was a bit too early.

Anyways, what do you guys think about the Pokemon Day trailer? Me personally, I think that billions will still buy it anyway. I wonder if the final evolution of the grassy chicken will be meta and also not ugly. Hopefully it gets to be a fast physical attacker and also not a jobmon.

Hello, how you are all doing? I found this image of a dragonite balling too hard
I have been having issues learning linear algebra, but beyond that, I have been wondering what to do to make Gene be less one not, one thing I was thinking was just making an interview and hoping with the question he gets asked I can start building up a personality that is more than just a few snippets of lore here and there.
I have been busy these days too because of the new month and having to organize accounting shit for my part time job, it wasnt that bad but it takes time that It could be used to work on some new stuff.

I just went off my own memory, and since it said "shitty ms paint" I basically did it in one trace, I dont even know if people can tell who he is but meh, might as wll take the chance to show how bad I am at drawing stuff.

interesting thread about what news headlines could be like in the Pokemon world

>>59000604
>Are you excited for the new Pokemon game?
It may sound weird but I am not. I guess this board finally made me a bit jaded about having new games.
But something that looks interesting is the whole "winds and waves". Since is another group of islands, I wonder if we will be able to ride boats for fast travel. And looks like diving is back in the map after so long.
I thinking diving wasn't a mechanic since... Hoenn? Finally going underwater sounds great.

>>59002596
At least the team behind the game seems to be having SOME time to let the game cook, The trailer itself looked better than the reveal of Pokemon SV, I do wonder what they plan to do for this gen
>I thinking diving wasn't a mechanic since... Hoenn
Yeah it was not a mechanic since the Hoenn remakes, Which was surprising to see, I wonder what they plan to do to make the diving mechanic less annoying since in hoenn the issue was similar to how the temple of water in TLoZ OOT was kind of a slog having to take on and off the boots to advance.

>>59003909
>Diving is a slog
Is sad that when Diving is a machanic people tends to make it very limited.
In some games you can swim, but dive is limited to "you found something, press X to get it". You dive, but only for a moment to get an item.
Other times diving is restricted. I remember a DBZ game where you could dive for fish, but only for a moment. You could improve your chances if you equip scuba gear, but it becomes end-game items in the last store.
I think the only game that did it right was Subnautica, and even then is still very restrictive.

>>59002581
I wonder how people feel when every now and then, the headlines are "WE WERE ALMOST DOOMED UNTIL 10 YEARS OLD MC SAVED US".
I feel it would be hidden in a random corner instead of making people think "maybe we should have people prepared for these situations instead of leaving kids solve it".

>>59000635
>Hopefully it gets to be a fast physical attacker and also not a jobmon.
Did you forgot, anon? Only jobmons now. It has been a thing since Gen 5.

TQ: The trailer looked good enough for me, I'm pretty excited to see a lot of the returning mons like Ledian.
DT: Speaking of, Tiffany caught a Ledian last time we played. Real shame that it's such a shitmon in the games, but in tabletop it's quite the beast so I'm excited to use it. It Synergizes well with Tiffany's Sage class abilities.

WT: Not sure if this fits the brief or not, but I wrote out a little snapshot for Ivy the other week.

>>59001865
he's perfect.

>>59005028
Tiffany looks adorable with Ledian
>He is a shitmon in the games, but a beast in the tabletop
I always felt like this when I played Mystery Dungeon. I feel some pokémon would find their niche if they were in a different game genre.

>>59005028
>Is that what I think it is punching Gene in the face?
Victory always comes, groin first.

>>59003977
One thing im curious is what country or culture are they going to use for this region, I think the leaks confirmed its Indonesia? I wonder what the starters will end up becoming into if that is the case.
>I think the only game that did it right was Subnautica, and even then is still very restrictive.
To be fair subnautica is a survival game, there needs to be a friction there while trying to not die, It makes sense if it is restrictive, but still you can make vehicles to be safe while travelling around the waters.
>>59004575
Im pretty there is crazier headlines you could come up with, but my imagination is drained currently.
>>59005028
>Is that what I think it is punching Gene in the face?
Its supposed to be the knee but I get if you think he is getting slaped by the dragonite "dragon tail"
>He is perfect
perfectly fucked up body and hands you mean.
>It Synergizes well with Tiffany's Sage class abilities.
remind me how is the classes in the ttrpg? they are more free flow compared to something like DND, right?
>WT
I wonder if when you leave the cafe you will see some dude in the floor right beside the door.

Ah, forgive me. I didn't recognize the knee without the lightning effects :P
>perfectly fucked up body and hands you mean.
Where you might see a fucked up body and hands, I see art.
>how is the classes in the ttrpg?
Whereas in DnD a character usually just has one class and gets all their features from there, in PTU, trainers can dip their toes into multiple classes (I believe 4 total) and gain access to different class features for which they qualify when they want. There's not really a strict "this is the level 1 class feature, this is the level 3 class feature", etc., but a lot of features do build off each other. For example, Tiffany's currently a level 11 trainer and she has class features from Fashionista, Cheerleader, and Sage. So yeah, a bit more free flow than DnD I think.
>I wonder if when you leave the cafe you will see some dude in the floor right beside the door.
There's definitely multiple bodies lying about out there

Wow, this place is lively. I hope that activity comes here too.

The website really has not wanted to let me post without verifying my email for the past couple of days.
>>59007018
Like I said before, I think the comeback date was a bit too early and I just went with it because someone else said it first and I couldn't decide before then.

>>59007051
>Without verifying my email for the past couple of days.
I mean, this was added way before us.
I think things were like this:

>Kayda and Brendom appear
No images in Incognito mode
>Kayda dies, Edgyverse begins
Only email verified, or wait 15 minutes before posting
>Edgyverse dies, the OC thread returns
We force a new crapier captcha, time out is reduced to 5 minutes
>Fucking April Fools
/f/ dies, no more pdf or swf files allowed
>New year
We changed the captcha for a mandatory autism test.
>A few days ago
Time out reduced to one minute. After that, every incognito post must resolve 3 captchas, normal posting must solve one


Like, I get trying to stop the spamming from bots and outsiders, but there must be a better way.

>>59007051
wait until May when both Pokopia and Neo Anime hype died down.

>>59007224
Then push it back to June because of school, and push it back to September because of summer, and push it back to December because of Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas, and push it back to February because January is slow, and push it back to April because March is too cold.
Or quit being a bitch and nut up.

I will leave it here, if you have any question about Gene, feel free to ask, like I said I want to give some more depth to Gene since he was kind of intended to be one of those unique NPCs you could come across in older Pokémon games, but now I want to give him a proper identity, I just don't know in what way should I start first. I imagine just a no holds Q and A could be a good way to start adding some narrative meat to these bones.
>>59006587
>breaking news, in a fit of rage because they hurt her chansey, woman went on a rampage and functionally threw in coma the gang in the city, We do not know the identity of this woman yet but we will find out soon, more at eleven.

>>59007331
>Nut up
This is not that kind of thread. That would be the SV Trainer thread.
Oh God, the WiWa ones are going to be Honeypot: the general.

>>59007549
Let's start with a few basic ones:
>Where does Gene come from?
>How old is he?
>How skillful is he as a trainer? (badges adquired)

>>59007622
All good questions!
>>59007549
But don't forget to ask yourself questions too. What are things you think we should know about Gene? What do you want us to know about Gene?

How did he come across his Pokemon?
Is he a serious trainer?
What are his hobbies?
Is he travelling anywhere? If so why? If not, also why and where is he staying?
Is he employed?

Non-burger standing by.
Bump.

Good morning /tog/. Let's emjoy the maddening times of hype.
Is going to take a year before we get more WiWa news.

>>59007622
>Where does Gene come from?
My idea was that Gene was supposed to be spanish, but he is from Galar, One of his parents is Paldean and the other is Galarian.
>How old is he?
19 -20 years old, The journey he is on it's supposed to be a journey of self discovery or one of those sabbatical years students that finished high school take to find out what they want to do.
>How skillful is he as a trainer? (badges adquired)
He doesn't have any, but that is more related to how he is travelling around trying to find a purpose.
>>59008173
>How did he come across his Pokemon?
Snivy and Eevee were gifts, Eevee was the house pet, Snivy was given to him when he started his journey. Zubat and Riolu kinda came across him and decided to stick around him, Mimikyu and absol were kind of bullied so when he gave a helping hand they decided to stick with him.
>Is he a serious trainer?
Serious in making sure the mons he has are the best versions of themselves.
>What are his hobbies?
Fuck this is the part where I got blank, I Imagine it's a mix of sightseeing, walking but beyond that...
>Is he travelling anywhere? If so why? If not, also why and where is he staying?
He is travelling around the world, he will normally sleep in the wild life alongside his mons.
>Is he employed?
The point of the journey is to find out what he wants to do with his life, when he gets money It's either from his parents or some extra money he gets by helping around or doing pokemon battles.

>>59009286 (me)
Got a chance to be more specific
Zubat/Crobat basically followed him after he came out of their home cave, stalking him because he had fruit, and Gene lead zubat back to his home cave, after 3 times Zubat followed him he gave up and offered Zubat to come with him on his travel
Absol was being attacked by some people because of his attempts at communicating disaster, Gene was aware of the meaning of his presence so he helped Absol as he was being attacked, after the conflict Absol decided to stick with Gene
Mimikyu was found as he helped in a supermarket about some pokemon being a nuisance around the building, Being mimikyu that mon
After Gene lead Mimikyu outside the market and try to give him a nicer spot, he kept following Gene, so Gene captured it.
Riolu/Lucario is the one I dont have a specific story for, But I do want their meeting to be Riolu seeing Gene, and deciding to stick with him because of personality or Aura stuff.

>>59009286
In short, he's more of a Pokémon Traveler who never compete in battles (outside of the one he needed to).

>>59009735
Yeah he is more of a traveler, He is willing to fight but overall he needs a reason, motivation, or is if his mons want to throw down, since it is basically confirmed that Pokemon WANT to fight or don't mind getting scrapped all that much. There is also how they evolve by getting levels.
So, He is in a journey of self discovery, and because of that he is willing to do pretty random things.

>>59010350
At this point, he'll most likely a kind of guy whose willing to help those he comes across and simply leave without explanation; like a wandering Pokemon Trainer in search of enlightenment (regarding his age). I could see him becoming an expert traveler who grant insights based off his experience not as a trainer, but as one who wander to points unknown.

Which leads to one question, how sociable is he?

>>59010462
>How sociable is he?
Good question. I also wonder this. Does he meets people who need aid by happenstance? Or is he the embodiment of the MC, walking into private property like if he owned the house himself?
Extra points if he takes something that isn't valuable, yet not nailed to the ground, and people go "couldn't he just buy that?"

>>59009286
>supposed to be a journey of self discovery or one of those sabbatical years
Sounds like you're in the same boat as Gene in that you don't know what you want him to do either.
>when he gets money It's either from his parents or some extra money he gets by helping around or doing pokemon battles.
Do his parents cover all of his travel expenses? Does he even need money from those other avenues? If Gene grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and are fully supported by his parents, that could be an interesting plot point. Someone who's never struggled before in their life coming to terms with reality or maybe he's trying to change and become self sufficient.
>>59010350
>So, He is in a journey of self discovery, and because of that he is willing to do pretty random things.
What is he trying to discover exactly? What is he hoping to get out of doing odd jobs for people? Where is he traveling to? How is he getting there?

>>59010462
>he'll most likely a kind of guy whose willing to help those he comes across and simply leave without explanation;
I doubt it will be without explanation, Besides being in the current world everyone is one call away from checking on each other
>How sociable is he
Kinda kept to himself but its more of a "I don't know if I should engage or if someone wants to be helped" kind of uncertainty, if there is a clear sense of urgency or someone comes to talk he is willing to talk too, I guess you could put him as one of those "social introverts" or they end up drained after talking to people, but they do enjoy their time being social
>>59010671
It is very funny how within IRL context a lot of random shit RPG protags end up being weird or deserve some kind of punishment.
>>59010873
>Someone who's never struggled before in their life coming to terms with reality or maybe he's trying to change and become self sufficient.
That is also part of the motives for the journey, He gets a certain amount to spend from his parents, then if he needs or wants to buy something that is not inherently necessary, he will try to earn his own money to buy it.
>What is he hoping to get out of doing odd jobs for people?
This idea was mostly intended for his NPC status, Since he is trying to find himself, he is willing to go do random things or you would be in a random city and then you would find him there, and the explanation would be just trying to see more of the world or learning more.
>Where is he traveling to? How is he getting there?
He would do it like how ash did it in the anime, most of the time walking around, then picking a ride or going on a ship if he feels his destination is too far away. His destinations would probably be just searching for points of interest he has not visited yet.

>>59011195
It may sound a bit rude, but...
>A medium-high nepokid who tries to find himself. While his family helps him a bit, he tries to earn his due by himself, and by helping his community
A noble spirit in itself, that's a good character perk.

Here's my character concept. They have no name, no team, no goals, no hobbies, no friends or family, and no strong opinions, but I think I've got something worth sharing.

>>59011756
Yeah, pretty a nepo baby that is trying to see how is life not being a nepobaby, not sure if noble, but it is a thing that I feel lots of people should be doing, our society would be better if they actually saw how the common man lived.
>>59012883
Would have been soon after he finished highschool or his homeschool year, I'm unsure if I want one or the other.
>>59012934
The white bread boy is an important character archetype that you can build upon. Keep going.

>>59013448
>white bread boy is an important character archetype
Is very important. After all, everyone loves a breadwinner.

Hey guys, how's it going?
