Mint's Pokémon Team

Tinkaton

Tinkaton is an adorable creature that wields a crude, gigantic metal hammer weighing over 220 pounds and swings it like it weighs nothing. The design references small and seemingly innocent looking girls with gigantic weapons from JRPGs, and Mint is that archetype played completely straight. She flattens cookie dough with her hammer! She's a basher, not a slasher. The evolution line mirrors Mint's weapon quest: Tinkatink starts with a rattle-like hammer that gets stolen constantly, Tinkatuff fights to collect metal for a stronger one, and Tinkaton's final hammer is the crude-but-devastating culmination of all that effort. Mint searches endlessly for a legendary weapon, finds duds (a glowing sword useless for stealth, a heavy rock that's just exercise equipment), and ultimately discovers her journey is about building herself up.

Herdier

Herdier is the "Loyal Dog Pokémon" and it's acting as the protective companion Mint's two dads would absolutely have given her when she for Rafta. Loyal, practical, tough enough to handle monsters, and hardwired to keep its charge safe. The White pokedex entry says it "helps Trainers, and also takes care of other Pokémon," making it a parental proxy; the family's love in canine form. The hidden ability Scrappy lets Normal-type moves hit Ghost-types, and Mint is nothing if not scrappy, refusing to back down from anything. The design detail about Herdier's cape of hard fur functioning as armor parallels Mint's role as a tank: she protects others, and Herdier protects her.

Corvisquire

Corvisquire is the middle evolution between Rookidee and Corviknight, and that middle-evolution energy is exactly where Mint is in her arc. She's not Rookidee anymore, she's past the "just arrived in town" stage, she's fighting real monsters, she's completed dungeons and quests. But she's not Corviknight yet—not the legendary armored knight, the famous hero whose name people recognize from trading cards. She's Corvisquire: bold, intelligent, punching above her weight class, still growing into the hero she'll become. "I'm not the worst. But I'm not the best. Not in any category."

Cubone

Cubone is probably most famous for mourning its dead mother. Mint also has no mother—only two loving dads and eight siblings (tragic backstory = ironic contrast). Plus, Mint loves Bones-based gifts and Cubone wields a bone as its weapon. There's a genuine connection beneath the comedy, though, where Cubone is classified as the "Lonely Pokémon," and Mint, for all her cheerfulness, is a bit lonely in Rafta. She's surrounded by legends she grew up idolizing but can't quite bridge the gap from fan to peer. "I'm eating at the same table as people I've written fan fic about!"

Charcadet

Charcadet has a two-path evolution that captures Mint's inner tension: Armarouge (Fire/Psychic paladin, defensive, protective) or Ceruledge (Fire/Ghost dark knight, aggressive, haunted). Mint is clearly on the Armarouge path—she's a tank who shields her allies—but the Ceruledge potential simmers underneath, the part of her that's "really mad" and chases con artists off her dads' property with a +1 stapler. The Scarlet pokedex entry says Charcadet's "firepower increases when it is in a good mood, and it starts firing off sparks indiscriminately when it gets excited," and that's Mint's enthusiasm made elemental. A girl who might "blush so hard my head bursts into flames" and whose Fortitude card captures the energy of someone burning with conviction.

Bramblin

Bramblin is a Grass/Ghost type—a tumbleweed—and it captures two of Mint's interests in one creature: the botanical (Plants are another favored gift) and the spooooky (the Bones and Mana she also loves). The evolution into Brambleghast is the real clincher: it happens when Bramblin takes 1,000 steps using the Let's Go feature. Not leveling up, not using a stone, just putting one foot in front of the other. Mint's a tank, "and tanks keep moving forward." It's a perfect fit for her whole ethos!

I think Mint's got a pretty solid team going here! #potionomics pokemon teams for everybody else.

(🌞 btw, I’m also running a small Potionomics summer art/fic exchange! signups open June 17 → [LINK])

I’d decided to make a relationship Circle of Sylvia and all of the romancable characters in the game! Here’s the blank template!

And here’s my version! (For now!)

Potionomics: Masterwork Edition Cutscenes

Potionomics: Masterwork Edition Cutscenes

Here ya go folks, all the Potionomics: Masterwork Edition cutscenes I recorded during my first playthrough of the game! Every character has their rank 7, 10 and 11 scene up. Only exceptions are Muktuk’s rank 9 and Boss Finn who has every rank up scene and the one following his defeat (I just really wanted to hear William Sopp whine as a shark man ya'll I am weak).

The finale "battle" and last cutscene leading into the end credits is also up! Enjoy!

Here's the new Mint romance epilogue for my fellow Mint enjoyers.

One of my criticisms when I first finished the game was the rest of the cast not being used in the ending so I appreciate the addition of the epilogues.

What I find interesting about Finn's route is how.. casual he is when he talks to Sylvia about his friends leaving him and moms not liking him.

It's a bit sad because he's probably used to being left on his own due to his dangerous attitude, but he didn't see it as losing because he's always moving forward.

While that's the case~

Imagine Finn experiencing a strange new feeling when he's invited by Sylvia to join her and others for an outdoor dinner.

He sees Baptiste greeting him with a big smile, thumping his shoulder like a bro.

Mint tossing herself for a hug, then when she lets go, she brings him over to his seat.

Quinn tossing pieces of food to Boxer, who munches it with pride.

Muktuk boldly singing along with Xid, their experimental harmony bringing colors to the scene.

Roxanne chatting with Saffron while Corsac sits between them, listening in quietly. He doesn't look very expressive, but Finn can sense that Corsac's adjusting well.

Salt and Pepper gnawing on the food, but Boxer tried to swipe off Salt's salmon and she ended up quarrelling with the mimic.

Luna snapping photos of everyone.

And finally.

Finn sees Sylvia coming out with her uncle, holding trays of delicious meals, drinks, and desserts. It looks like everyone prepared it on their own, judging by how they decorated it and how Finn could tell whose tray it is.

While everyone starts eating and talking, Finn stares at each of them, engaging in their every conversation...

Then that's when it hits him.

Nobody runs away.

Nobody tricks him or betrays his trust.

Nobody just disappears if he blinks once.

They're all here with him, enjoying each other's company...

He doesn't feel awkward, disgusted, nor even confused by this.

He felt... Happy. Content. Like something finally pulled away from his shoulders and it doesn't feel right after carrying it for so long.

So... For the first time ever...

Finn found his family.
