Your Sprite Art / Zelda/Pokemon Crossover Sprites
« on: April 26, 2013, 20:36 »
I've been experimenting with making Zelda characters out of Pokemon for a while now, but recently I've gotten a bit better at it (in my opinion anyway; I've still got some work to do!), but I'd like to know what other people think of them. Here's my gallery so far:

Blaziken as Ocarina of Time Link:
Emboar in the style of Wind Waker Ganondorf:
Gardevoir as Zelda:
Gallade as Sheik:
Lopunny as Malon:
Meowth as Wind Waker Link:
Politoed as Zephos:
Mr. Mime as Tingle:

Combusken as Young Link and Grovyle as Majora:

I'd like to know what you all think of them! Also, any suggestions for future works on this project would be appreciated as well. :>

Gaming / Shovel Knight!
« on: April 10, 2013, 13:15 »
Has anyone else heard of this game? If not, you're missing out and you need to pay attention RIGHT NOW. First off, this game is a Kickstarter that ends in 3 days. For $15, you can get a copy on PC, 3DS or even Wii U. It has already reached it's goal, but more money will unlock the final reward, which is 4-player battle mode!

This game is a call back to 8-bit classics, namely Mega Man. It plays like Mega Man, but with a shovel as a weapon, which is a lot more awesome than it sounds. I feel I can't do the game adequate justice in words, so why not check out some gameplay? (warning, if you care about bad language, don't click the following links):

Random Randomness / Happy Birthday, Utack (and Swampy?)
« on: April 03, 2013, 07:11 »
Okay, so while we may not know Swampy's exact age (he won't tell me!), our resident Mudfish fanatic turns 22 today!

I've been good friends with Utack since we left Littleroot together and he stole all my berries. Utack's a really great friend, though many people would never even know it! He may present himself as a silly guy with his amazing comic making skills, incredible funky Trainer sprites and love of Irish drinking music, but he's a really deep, intellectual guy that I can talk to about anything and always come out with a clearer understanding of said topic.

I'm extremely grateful to have you as a friend, Utack. Hope you have a wonderful birthday! 8D

So the demo to the new PMD game is in the 3DS e-Shop. It allows you to continue in the actual game from where you leave off in the demo, so there's no reason not to try it.

I have to say, I am very underwhelmed with the demo. They've ditched the personality quiz, and given you an option of Pikachu, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott and Axew. That, for me, was underwhelming. Personally, the quiz in the past has made me feel more connected to my avatar, because I wouldn't be that Cyndaquil if I wasn't the Timid type. The selection here has been watered down, too, with only 5 choices, making replayability a factor.

As for the game itself, the graphics look nice. The 3D effect is good, and things look pleasant, but for me, that's where the praise ends. The plot is boring, and the whole thing feels kinda 'been here done this', which is typical for Pokemon, but I felt EoT/EoD/EotS sucked me into the plot a lot more.

Anyway, what did you think of it? Post your thoughts on the demo and the game itself here, since I'm genuinely curious about what other's first impressions were.

Personality: Brian's hard life has seen him grow cold, but recently, his life has changed drastically. He's found that he can care about something; namely, his partner, Jack. Brian is still wary of mosy human beings, but isn't completely against cooperating with someone, if it is beneficial to him.

History: Brian's life has been a waste. He's lived in poverty for the entirety of his life, and his only remaining relative in Unova, his uncle Harry, has recently passed away, leaving him with nothing. Unexpectedly, a mysterious elderly man has given Brian an Egg, speaking cryptically about "everything happening for a reason". Unsure of where to go with his life, Brian has decided to scrape together some money to begin a new life with his partner Jack, leaving the Unova region on a ship headed for Hoenn.

((First real time doing PLC, hope everything is in order ^^; ))

Character Guides / Richard Franzen
« on: November 15, 2008, 21:56 »
Name: Richard Franzen

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Description: Richard is about 5 ft. 9 inches in height, and around 220 lbs. He has short, dark brown hair, that unless viewed closely, appears black. His eyes are also dark brown. He wears standard Kanto Trainers clothing; Red hat, red jacket, blue jeans, and a backpack.

Personality: Shy towards those he doesn't know, yet very forward and trustworthy to those he does. Very loyal, especially to his Pokemon. He tends to be a bit too trustworthy, even to those he doesn't know, and at times, even naive.

History: Born and raised in Viridian City. He graduated Viridian City Pokemon beginners school at the age of 10, and his father sent him his first Pokemon to begin his journey. He raised quite a few Pokemon in Kanto, and managed to defeat the eight Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto, placing in the top 16 in the Pokemon League. A few months later, Richard defeated the eight Gym Leaders of Hoenn, but couldn't take part in the Pokemon League, since he had to make his way to Four Island to see his sick Grandmother...

Friends and Enemies: Ryuga Lamperouge (former ally)

Pokemon on hand:

Blaziken (M)@ Choice Scarf
{Blaze}
Adamant nature
OT: Richard
Blaze Kick, Double Kick, Fire Punch, Flare Blitz, Stone Edge, Sky Uppercut, ThunderPunch, Brave Bird, Earthquake
Blaziken was Richard's first Pokemon. He received it when it was a Torchic, and it's been with him ever since. They trust each other with their lives, and Blaziken knows exactly what to do in battles from constant planning. Blaziken's constant desire for more battles feeds Richard's somewhat competitive nature. He wears a Choice Scarf to make himself faster. It seems to work for him.

Vaporeon (F)@ Leftovers
{Water Absorb}
Bold nature
OT: Richard
Surf, Water Gun, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Substitute, Baton Pass, Acid Armor, Aqua Ring
Vaporeon was received as an Eevee in Vermilion City port, where he found it flailing in the water, and so he rescued it. It had a fear of water after that, but Richard helped it overcome its fear of water, and it starting enjoying the water more and more as it learned to swim. Richard evolved it into a Vaporeon because of this.

Gardevoir (F)@ Leftovers
{Trace}
Modest nature
OT: Richard
Psychic, Calm Mind, Wish, Thunderbolt, Hypnosis, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Grass Knot
Upon arriving in the Hoenn region, Richard quickly found a Ralts, and captured it. However, it didn't warm up to Richard for quite a while. Now as a fully grown Gardevoir, it adores Richard, and would risk her life to save Richard's, and Richard would do the same. Very shy and quiet, she prefers to stay on the sidelines of battle, but if called upon, she will do her job, and do it well. Usually Vaporeon likes to Baton Pass an Acid Armor and a Substitute onto her before she enters battle, allowing her to use Calm Mind a couple times to prepare herself for the fight.

Salamence (M)@ Choice Specs
{Intimidate}
Rash nature
OT: Richard
Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, Draco Meteor, Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Zen Headbutt, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Aerial Ace, Stone Edge, Fly
While exploring Meteor Falls, Richard found a hidden cove with a Salamence, and her baby Bagon. The mother Salamence was fighting off a trainer's Aggron when Richard yelled at the Trainer, and used Blaziken to help the mother Salamence defeat the Trainer's Aggron. The Trainer left, and remarked that he at least caught a Gyarados. The mother was badly injured, and Richard tried to heal her, but her wounds were too grave. He captured, and cared for her baby Bagon, which had the Egg move, Hydro Pump, which Richard later realised probably came from the father Gyarados the attacking trainer had captured prior to Richard's arrival. Salamence still distrusts people, even Richard sometimes.

Magneton@ Leftovers
Thunderbolt, Protect, Toxic, Hidden Power [Grass]
{Magnet Pull}
Calm nature
OT: Richard
Magneton was found as a Magneton in an old, abondoned power plant near Cerulean City in Kanto. It's a very laid back Pokemon, and prefer's not to battle. It has an odd battle style though- it poisons the opponent, and puts up a forcefield to protect itself from damage until the opponent faints from the poison in its system. It also uses Thunderbolt, which is quite powerful, and has discovered its Hidden Power to be of the Grass type.



Richard recieved this Egg from his Grandmother right before she passed away. It hatched into an Elekid in Vermillion City without Richard even knowing it had hatched.

Pokemon at home:

Smeargle (M)@ Focus Sash
{Own Tempo}
Jolly nature
OT: Richard
Spore, Seismic Toss, Destiny Bond, Super Fang, Recover
Smeargle is quite mischievous. Not only does it find great fun in painting people's behind's with its blue tail tip, it also paints other Pokemon- even team members. However, if it gets too hurt in battle, it has learned a lot of moves through watching other Pokemon fight, and its battle style is quite unique. If it finds itself in desperation, and knows it'll faint, it tries to take the foe down with it with Destiny Bond.

Blissey (F)@ Leftovers
{Natural Cure}
Bold nature
OT: Richard
Softboiled, Seismic Toss, Aromatherapy, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt
Blissey was captured as a Chansey in the Safari Zone. It was a young Chansey, and it had been injured by a Rhyhorn that fought it over some bait that had been thrown by a Trainer. Richard captured it, and took it to thew Pokemon Center immediately. It has grown attached to the other Pokemon, and sort of looks out for them like a mother would. It doesn't enjoy battles, but certainly packs some powerful moves.

Pokemon being cared for by someone else:

Bellossom (F)@ Leftovers
{Chlorophyll}
Timid nature
OT: Richard
Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Synthesis, Hidden Power [Ice], Razor Leaf, Sludge Bomb
Bellossom was found in Ilex Forest. When she saw Richard, she ran, but she tripped over a mushroom, and couldn't get back up. Richard helped her up, and she ran. Richard forgot about her, as he headed to Goldenrod City. However, through his travels, he kept hearing footsteps, but was unable to find the source of the noise. Eventually, he figured it out- Oddish had been following him, and hid herself every time Richard heard her. Richard offered to let her join his team, but she kept refusing. That was, until, Richard's Vaporeon became sick before his Gym Battle with Clair. Oddish asked if she could prove herself, and she did. In the Gym battle, it was Oddish that finished the match by bringing down her last Dragonair with it's Hidden Power.
