Small notice
Heyo, just letting you guys know:
The actual story stuff isn't going to be starting up for a good while. At the earliest, it'll likely be early-mid February. I'm hoping at the latest, it'll be by the time March rolls around.
Until then, I'll just be answering general things. If you're wondering if it's safe to ask about something now: if it's in the Ask Hints page, it's fair game.
The other stuff will generally be on a case by case basis.
Sorry if I'm too late for this. Genuinely happy to hear you're doing a bit better though!
🫂 + Maybe Nat and Ari (wildmons)? (Even though I actually need to do more with the character--)
Also enjoy some serotonin I found.
Not late at all, and thanks for the well wishes! c:>
Also I feel that shinx so much, what a bab 💖
Send me 🫂 + one of your characters and one of mine to see how close of friends they are on a scale of 1-10. 1 being not near friends and 10 being best friends.
Knowing Ari's current struggle, I think Nat is more understanding and willing to be open and vulnerable to help out (whether that's a mistake on their part or not if things go haywire-) so that said, things I can see sitting at around 2-4 depending on if Ari responds well to any help received
♡ Munday Game ♡
💞 - Send in this emoji with one of yours and one of my characters, and Ill see what relationship the two might either have or could be formed.
💫 - Send in this emoji for a random fact about the mod.
💌 - Send in this emoji + one of my characters for a random fact about them.
🎶 - Send in this emoji + a song of your choice, and I'll see if it fits any of my characters personalities. (Might come with a doodle)
Doing this again except with a fewnmore emoji's ^^
🌻 - Send in this emoji for information about the region they live in. It can be anything from regional variants to what other towns, cities, and or villages there are.
🔮 - Send in this emoji to possibly get either a tiny look or see a tiny phrase to appear in the future. Who knows with this one~.
(@gimmighoulcoins) Hestau: "Sounds like you did a good good job at getting back at your old bosses. Are they who you're running from? 'Cause you broke their stuff and they're mad about it?"
( Heyo, thanks for the ask @gimmighoulcoins! )
Ari looked at the Gimmighoul that had taken a temporary seat on their shoulder while they'd been gathering fallen sticks and branches from the forest just by the beachside. They didn't mind, of course. They were always happy to talk to Pokémon.
"Not quite. They'd probably hunt me down regardless. They're that cuckoo." If Ari didn't know any better, they'd probably call it a cult, with how its members operate. "That whole thing was just a goodbye present to light a fire under their rears."
"But yea, they're the ones that were chasing me. Don't think I'll be running into them out here, though. Doesn't look like any humans have been through here in a long time, if at all."
Can you please put a trigger warning for implied death on the most recent post? Thank you
Gotcha covered. I'll do my best to tag it in the future.
Snow@Ari The AI seemed rather scared upon hearing about the virus… “The virus sounds terrifying… Wiping everything connected to the network… If I was there and connected to it…” She couldn’t bring herself to finish that sentence, needless to say, in the scenario she imagined, she wouldn’t have made it…
(Thanks for the ask!)
Ari tried to come up with some retort, some excuse for their actions. Some way to play it off like 'don't worry that wouldn't happen'. ... But they were ultimately just lying to themself. That possibility could've been very real.
"Yea, I was short-sighted, more focused on revenge than anything at the time..." Ari admitted. It was a bitter pill for them to swallow, realizing that if Snow were still there, they could have easily put her life in danger.
Even after realizing how wrong they were before, they supposed old habits die hard. They still endangered Pokémon, even when they didn't mean to...
The sun is beginning to set...
(Askthewhiterocket) Kyo: A virus hm? I presume you mean some sort of computer virus? Was it anything fancy or did you just trick some poor sucker with a phishing email?
( Thanks for the ask Noble! )
"Well, let's just say that even underground, there's a lot of people that didn't like my former... employers... So it didn't take me too long to find someone willing to make something to do what I wanted."
"From there, I just had to bide my time and not alert anyone that the virus was there. It basically had a built-in countdown timed to my escape. Course, I had to activate it a bit early because they were starting to catch on."
"First, it copies itself to everything connected to the network. Including computers, phones, smart devices... As well as any other locations that were in peer-to-peer connections with similar network IDs. Then it opens all the cages the Pokémon were kept in, since I wanted to atone in some small way for what I'd done while I was there."
"It then locks every door except for where Pokémon were kept. ... As an added bonus, it changes the lock combination for all digital locks every 3 seconds. Then every device on the server is wiped. This basically ensures that the only way to stop the lock randomization is to completely disconnect the network."
"Cost me a lot of time and all the money I got from working with them, even quite a bit extra, but I'm nothing if not intensely vindictive against those that have wronged me."
( @ask-wildmons ; Ari )
Ari has to take a moment to steady their nerves at the mention of Team Rocket. Ari just rubs their makeshift bandage as they speak, a little something to try and calm their nerves...
"I... I can see you have a couple peculiar Pokémon with you. I've never seen a Braviary or Rapidash of these kinds before, not in any book or Pokédex I've read through. I do hope that they haven't been through any rough patches lately, and that they trust you."
It's clear that Ari would... rather not talk about Team Rocket...
Kyo took a moment to size Ari up. Nervous tendencies, fresh makeshift bandages. It was clear they weren't comfortable. Kyo pondered the question for a moment, choosing her response wisely. She didn't want to cause Ari any further discomfort if at all possible.
"I'm not surprised you haven't seen them before. You're probably more familiar with their Kantonian, Galarian, and Unovan counterparts, as those varieties are far more commonplace in the modern era," Kyo explained.
"My Braviary is a rare variant. They're solitary, migratory birds that used to be a lot more common in the northern coastlines of ancient Sinnoh, better known as Hisui. However, changing climates and overhunting eventually drove them to the brink of extinction. In fact, we thought them completely extinct until we found my Braviary."
"Similarly, my Rapidash is another so-called ancient variant from ancient Kalos, sometimes referred to as Jolie. It's said to be the ancestor of both Galarian and Kantonian Rapidash, given its Fire/Psychic-typing. The thought process is that Jolian Rapidash were taken from Jolie to ancient Kanto, Galar, etc. and adapted to those regions to better suit their environments. We knew of the existence of an ancient variety of Rapidash in Kalos based on old paintings and writings, but it was believed that the Jolian Rapidash populations retreated into seclusion due to the ancient war with the Galar region. Similar to my Braviary, they were thought to be completely extinct until we found mine."
Kyo hesitated a moment, trying to word this as carefully as possible. "They... haven't been through any rough patches lately, but... they entered my care for a very specific reason. With all of my Pokémon, those two included, they were rescued from..." Kyo paused, trying to figure out how to describe Team Rocket without explicitly mentioning them, "... poachers. How exactly these poachers came into ownership of them, I cannot say. But they came into my care after the White Rockets raided an abandoned trafficking facility and rescued them."
"As a second lieutenant for the White Rockets, not only am I charged with overseeing a small squadron of other members, but I also qualified to apply as a rehabilitation specialist. Since I have a... shall we say... 'affinity' for psychic types, they thought me best suited to take on a team of their more challenging rescues."
Meowstic purred a little and bumped her head against Kyo. Kyo smiled and scratched Meowstic's head. "Well, except Meowstic. She's been my partner since I was a child," she added with a chuckle. "She's also the only one I'd say who fully trusts me. The rest have endured a fair amount of abuse at the hands of humans, as I understand, and thus are reasonably apprehensive of me. Meowstic has done her best to help assist me while I work with them, but these things take time. All I can do is be patient and let them open up to me at their own pace."
(@pokege-ne-project (ty also for the previous ask!)) Wesn pops out! Hoping to offer a shoulder at least, he'd chime in a question of his own. "Oh, did you need to get away form somethin' too? I don't mind listening, if you need it!"
(Heyo, thanks for the ask friendo! Sorry it took me an eternity to get to!)
Ari thinks for a moment, remembering all the things they did back then that they won't ever forgive themself for. Even if they did get some payback on the people that caused them to lose their way, it won't make up for all that they've done.
"Well, let's just say, I got on a lot people's bad sides when I came to my senses." They let out a chuckle, imagining the reaction they had when they saw Ari's little farewell present. "I'll bet they weren't too thrilled to see that I'd unleashed one hell of a virus on their network as my resignation."
Ask Hints have been updated!
Your biggest regret / came to your senses?
The virus you unleashed?
Press them for more information?
What region would you want to see get regional variants, if they were released when regional variants started being a thing?
To the surprise of literally NOBODY IN THIS OR ANY OTHER UNIVERSE...
The Eeveelutions.
Since there's a decent chance that there isn't going to be any more vee evolutions, I'd at least like to get some love for the evolved Eeveelutions, since Eevee's already gotten most of the love with its own game and GMax. Raichu got a bit of love in Alola with possibly one of my favorite regional variants behind the Ninetales and Zoroark variants.
Though I completely get why this probably wouldn't work very well, since they'd have to be unique enough to be set apart from the regular Eeveelutions. Not just design wise but stats, moves, and even typings.
What is one way you've improved at creative pursuits through askblogging?
Honestly, it's really helped me figure out new methods for drawing and over time, I've been getting better at drawing more types of feral and humanoid body types. As an example, before I started all of this, I could barely figure out how to draw Shaymin, and now I'm a bit more confident in my ability to draw them to the point I made an entire folder just for Shaymins from the village on my other blog.
It's also helped me be a bit more confident in my art and style in general since my confidence in my art has gone downhill so many times over the last half a decade, it's basically become meme worthy.
Well, that Presents was... something.
Anyway, Munday asks are open!
What's your timelapse of favorite colors over time?
As for what I can recall:
Morning peeps. Weather's being indecisive again.
Taking Munday asks while I curl up under the covers.
Taking Munday asks here too!
What kind of genre would you like as a Pokemon spinoff (If it doesn't exist)?
Something like the Warriors games. The ones that come to mind are Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Three Hopes. Perhaps it could be sorta like Mystery Dungeon where you play as a bunch of Pokemon?
The other genre I was thinking of was already taken (It was tactical RPG, and that goes to the spin-off that TPC did once then forgot about: Pokemon Conquest.)
Anyway, that's my random thing.
Which pokemon game is your favorite out of all of the available official games?
I know it's a bit of a cliche answer, but Explorers of Sky.
It basically took the formula from Red/Blue Rescue Team and expanded on it in a bunch of great ways. Not to mention, it heard you like story, so it added special episodes so you can enjoy a side of story with your story. Even today, the game holds up really well, and even though I have yet to get all the way through the post game (I'm not even at the point I'm able to evolve), it's one of my personal favorites.
What's your least favorite Pokemon game (mainstream, pmd, or otherwise) and why? What would you do to fix it?
Honestly, if I'd have to pick one (minus the obvious buggy mess that's the Generation 1 Pokemon games)
I'd say Sword/Shield. I paused on my Shield save for months at a time. It took me several years just to push myself to finish the game. The game just felt very weak overall. I just wasn't having a lot of fun with it.
