Wow, it's been almost two years since you first created Winks and Wolf.

Three questions:

1: Does Winks "wink"hide any secrets this time?

2: Have you decided if this takes place in one of your other AU worlds (or not)?

3: Remember these two from the main W&W posts?

How has it been so long--

1: Yes, although the true nature of it is still being worked out. :>

2: It's ✨A whole NEWWWW WOOOOOORRRRLLLL✨--*ahem*... Separate from all my other worlds. Completely new set of rules and all that.

3: Yes, these two are planned to be included~

If you don't mind, what 'mons do you both have on your teams? (Or in general, if you don't consider yourselves as having proper 'teams' per say)

We both have more than a team of six. And we like to spar sometimes, to keep in shape.

My champion team from my trainer journey is Pierce the Typhlosion, Percy the Crobat, Benjamin the Jolteon, Sheila the Dragonite, Nika the Furret, and Twist the Nidoking. The others that I own are Pelly the Butterfree, Skylar the Togekiss, Ivan the Victreebel, Momo the Ambipom, her Aipom daughter Sunny, and Susan the Gyarados. Oh, and a shiny Diglett named Button.

And my sister-in-law was kind enough to let me take ownership of her Flygon's shiny son, Darren. And I guess I technically own Clover, the Gardevoir, as well, but she doesn't like to be in her ball. I forget that I actually own her.

There are a lot more in the woods that I'm close with, but those listed are the ones I'm the trainer of.

My champion team is Thunder the Feraligatr, Mini the Ampharos, Fang the Arbok, Swift the Crobat, Lucky the Ninetales, and Frenzy the Beedrill! (Don't let his name fool you, he's chill as can be! ^-^)

The others I have are Clamp the Kingler, Atta the Ratticate, and Tate the Hypno.

I also have a Gallade named Dylan, who is Clover's mate.

Oh, and my longest held partner, although I haven't owned her as long as I've known her; A Floette named Pari. She's not a battler though.

A family member recently shared part of a book with me, and I wanted to show the book to you, Loupy, and see if you'd want to look into it or not (sorry for poor photo quality) :

It's not something I'm personally interested in, but I'll share it in case anyone else finds value in it. ^^

If anyone wants to copy/paste the title, it's "Structuring Life to Support Creativity", by Sandra Tayler.

Do any of the Lindens have a favorite transform form (besides Mew or Human)?

Wingull has been among Akoya's favorite forms since meeting Randy. Maybe even before then, since she can still fly and shiny Wingulls aren't as obvious as other shinies, so there wouldn't be as many eyes on her.

Randy currently only has those two forms, but eventually he'll experiment and find a favorite. :>

Lavender is in the same boat as Randy. She'll experiment later, but her eventual favorite I'm keeping to myself~

I haven't thought enough about the other Mews to give a favorite form to them, and if I put this off to think about it, It'll never get answered, so I'll play around later. XD

[loupy-mongoose]

How much variety is there in the "Beasts"? Is there enough to have destinct sub-species?

That'll be up to future storytelling to... well, tell. XD

Now I'm curious, when did you first play Minecraft?

I had to ask my bro for details, and he says it was around Beta 1.7.3 for me. So, probably sometime in mid 2011. Before hunger was added. (He said I "didn't embrace it", lol) I haven't been playing it consistently since then. I've had LOOOONG periods of being away, to the point where a lot of the stuff added in between then and now still feels new to me.

[loupy-mongoose]

I'm curious, what do you think of Pokopia?

I haven't played it myself, but my bro has it and sings it's praises often. He has his gripes, but generally he seems to love it.

From what little I've seen, it's certainly cute, the lore is intriguing, and I like what they did with the Pokemon. But watching him hasn't made me want to play so far.

[loupy-mongoose]

A hypothetical: let's say Randy is able enough with Transform, what form(s) (besides Human or Mew) do you think he would like the most?

So, for those unaware, canonically speaking Randy is not comfortable transforming beyond the two forms he does. He’s not unable, he just doesn’t like how it feels.

However, I started thinking, what would he like to transform into?

My first thought is always Altaria, because it's his second favorite Pokemon.

But then another one called to me.

He likes to be warm. He likes fluff.

He'd want to be big so he can protect his family.

He's loyal and devoted.

He's committed arson.

So, hypothetically...

...This may become canon one day, btw. I absolutely fell in love with this idea!
