My brain’s the dvd screensaver and when I’m not swamped with work I get thoughts.
Having a smaller roster of pokemon party partners for the glitch users means there’s more time to individually develop those pokemon but then I run the
risk of anyone who’s in the support cast having a big amount of pokemon—maybe even more once the PC is considered.
Everything kind of goes back to the trainer shaped trenchcoat problem.
Maybe instead of trying to have a long spanning story, I should make smaller bits and pieces like a puzzle piece.
I believeth those are called drabbles…
Rumors is kind of like SMT in that there are myths that become reality like ghosts. Is that not just yokai watch?
I guess so. Of course, I’m not gonna use actual religious stuff, I’m gonna try to avoid those. Stuff like cryptids are more in my area (but not indigenous ones for obvious reasons). Like the flatwoods creature (the alien guy), Jersey devil, moth man, Nessie, Bigfoot, idk. It’s kind of like in my mind that one poptropica cryptid hunter island. I wish yokai watch didn’t die as a franchise. I feel like it was kind of unceremoniously shot and left for dead since everyone propped it up to be the pokemon killer instead of just letting it like coexist in the same franchise of Mons.
I found a note on my phone that said IMPORTANT but when I went to open it all it said was foster’s home for imaginary friends… I think what I’m doing is making a hodgepodge of stuff I semi know mixed with stuff I don’t know, like SCPs.
I’m gonna start talking about bugs for a moment. I don’t even like bugs irl but like, centipedes are messed up. Too many legs.
Bug Talk (under the cut because of how squeamish bugs are)
I’m afraid of them but I like to study them in vile fascination. Female spiders are normally bigger than the males. Some spiders commit in cannibalism. There’s a mold spore that turns ants into zombies. Wasps are just like the most incredibly evil bug ever (but that’s well known.) Some of them basically infect a bug with their offspring and then eat them from the inside out. That’s a real horror. Mushrooms are on the same level of consuming decaying bodies and making their own zombie fungi (cordyceps.)
The Wikipedia page for parasite wasps has a quote from a researcher (Darwinism and natural selection suck though) where he’s like “I don’t believe there is a kind god when that kind of thing exists.”
I don’t think bug type Pokémon do all that, but there is an infestation move in gen 6. And the giant buff mosquito guy. Nihilego is like the parasite Pokémon but ultimately that thing is like a poison jellyfish that removes people’s inhibitions.
At one point a villain fuses with the Pokémon. She engages with you in a regular battle.
Okay so uh, here’s the roster for the fighting game hypothetical. Which was mostly just an excuse for me to try visualizing outfits in GaiaOnline… do you think I should make an OC closet room or something, I’ve got quite a few outfits like this just lying around with the avatar maker feature.
I kept going with this after the GaiaOnline thing. Pretty sure these are just going to be their default designs going forwards.
Anyways, that’s all I have on this saga which is kind of like an explanation of my thought process that tends to be for like nearly every story I’ve made is either like absurdly in depth thoughts or just me writing it in one go. I’ll eventually post something more readable, probably to dreamwidth.
Back to maintenance mode.
