PMD2.5, PMD3, and PMD4 Appreciation Zone

A blog for hosting the Week of Underloved PMD event I've been planning! Run by Bench of @ifbench.

[underlovedpmdevent]

Celebrating the lesser-loved PMD entries!

Hello! Welcome to my silly little PMD event! This is an event for celebrating the three least loved PMD games, that being PMD Gates to Infinity, PMD Super, and PMD Adventure Squad! There's a criminally low amount of stuff for these games, and I aim to help fix that!

The gist is that people write stuff, draw art, compose music, and more for these three games! Do as much or as little as you want, there's no pressure!

You can find the prompts here!

It's planned to last a week, starting at the beginning of Augst, but I'm thinking I might rerun this again in early September if there's enough interest!

The tag for this will be #underlovedpmdweek!

Here's the rules!

No Explorers-centric content. It can be referenced, but it cannot be the focal point of any of your submissions. Same goes for Rescue Team.

Please include "tw post apocalypse" on any submissions you make that are of a post-apocalyptic nature. Post-apocalypse makes me extremely uncomfortable, especially in regards to PMD, so I'd rather not see anything like that.

No NSFW content, if that's ok.

No bashing any of the PMD games, please. And yes, that includes no bashing of Explorers or Rescue Team.

If you think I should add any more rules, please let me know! Also please let me know if you have any questions, or if you have any prompt ideas!

If you're ok with it, I'd really appreciate if you reblog this post, so that more people know about this event!

I'm really excited to see everyone's submissions, and I hope you all have fun with this!

Cookies! I saw the ending of the pmd WiiWare games and the part where a bidoof and Tauros ate the cookie together really got stuck in my head so for this prompt I made this

[doofisconfused]

got a drawing and a half (i'll explain tomorrow) for the underloved pmd games week (@underlovedpmdevent) to share! i'm doing that tomorrow because one's still in the works and the other kinda needs sunlight for the colors to look alright. i know it's past the deadline, but hopefully it still counts? this event's been a ton of fun, i've had a great time! there's been so much cool stuff made for it too, aah! everyone is SO talented!

prompt: serene village

i love the serene village schoolchildren! they're such silly little guys, and i love their interactions. i definitely wanted to draw them for this! i'm really happy with how this turned out, despite the slight jank!

not sure this next drawing counts? it was supposed to be for the harmony scarves prompt, but i realized while doing the lines in pen that i forgot the scarves. so. uh. i don't think it counts? it's meant to be an alliance attack, where my fennekin uses psybeam and my treecko uses dragon breath! i named them after me n my brother, so i can't show their names, but raagh! i made something!!!

this was super fun! if it happens again, I'd love to contribute more. unfortunately, i was on vacation and then subsequently sick, so i couldn't do as much as i would've liked. thanks for putting this on!

@underlovedpmdevent (am i supposed to @ you? i dunno how this works)

Prompts whitered savannah and growing up

Note: growing up shows half the protagonist on start of the story and half them after the evolution in the post game

Sorry for lack of shading on the latter.

Underloved PMD Week Day 4: Withered Savannah

Visit Original Link

An arrangement I made of Gates' Withered Savannah theme (I got to sample my own kalimba!). It was around this point in the game that Gates finally started to click with me, and I think this music track was really something special to contribute to that. I will forever claim that Gates had the best dungeon themes in the series.

Underloved PMD Week Day 3: Virizion

Doodles inspired by when I streamed my first time ever playing Gates with a couple of friends earlier this year. I wanted to attach a clip here, but learned the hard way that Twitch deletes your streams after a while.

Here's what I made for Days 2 and 3 of the Underloved PMD Event. Both of these are Day 2 prompts ("Pokémon Village/Beach/Garden" and "Serene Village"). These were both very fun to work on.

[responderandrew]

For today prompts here's slowking!

[spookymarkers]

For my third piece for the under loved pmd event I present to you all: tiny ampharos

[responderandrew]

Day 2 of the event so have post town!decide to go black and white for this drawing as reference to the generation the game was from

[spookymarkers]

Unfortunately it is getting to be quite late so this is a bit rushed, and admittedly mediocre, but here is my second piece for @underlovedpmdevent (idk if I need to keep tagging them).

Today's prompt: Serene Village

[ifbench]

Underloved PMD Week Prompt 1: Cookies / Entercards / Harmony Scarves

When the adventure squad entered the mystery dungeon, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Elder Slowking had told them that the dungeon was full of food, but they were expecting berries, seeds, simple stuff.

Not cookies, fully-baked cookies that were lying on the ground, ready to eat.

It defied all logic, but then again, so did the mystery dungeon itself.

Eevee was the first to rush to the cookies, tail wagging rapidly. "Look! Look at all the cookies!"

Riolu smiled, and asked, "Shall we share a few, and bring the rest back?"

Pikachu nodded, and together, the adventure squad enjoyed cookies.

Here's my first submission for the Underloved PMD Event. This is a remix of Telluric Pass for the Day 1 prompt: Entercards!

[spookymarkers]

First drawing for @underlovedpmdevent :)

Personally think this turned out pretty good, hoping I can make somethin everyday!
