The Kandia Region

[Coloursfall]

Oooh, a Wendigomon~ :o~

DO want. May I sprite it?

:3 yes, sure, you may~ If anyone at all wants to sprite my stuff, go ahead! I'd love to see what you guys can do.

Note to self: FMC italicizes when she's angry.

I do! It's mostly since I try to replicate the way I talk with my posts; I put lots of emphasis on words when I'm mad.

And... I assume it would try and take it's tail o3o and probably get eated by a Shelder rather promptly.

Someone needs to draw that immediately.

Rather amusingly, #014 is up, our resident Pikachu clone! (Named by Kusa go revel in it's glory)

But the little mouse is cute enough for me to forgive him.

 

[Blastoise Fortooate]

I want all of your pokémon.

to ASB you must go to have them approved

 

[Coloursfall]

HAY LOOK OUR FIRST ITEM! The Totem Shard! Go look at the item/move post >:C

Also I just may try and get something from Kandia approved in ASB...just dunno what yet.

 

[Blastoise Fortooate]

Masky! No, wait, Tally!

No, wait, the weave-beavers need to live in Asber the most.

 

[Chopsuey]

But we needz Coual the most!

Strangely the Pikachu equivalent doesn't put me into rage mode. :D

And what, pray tell, would make them more 'pokemonish' as you said it, then, hmmm? Do go on.

Hell, less dark.

Only the legendaries are 'evil' and 'violent' as you put it, my good sir! Which, as you can probably tell by looking at the likes of Mewtwo, Giratina, Darkrai, and the like, is common of legendaries. See also: Dark Is Not Evil.

Aw fuck! TV Tropes! But yes true...

If you just want me to go an make the next Eevee and such with the cute and the fuzzy and the big eyes, no dice. I prefer my Pitfighting Monsters with a bit of bite. They can look however I want them.

And you are absolutely right. I was just giving constructive criticism, yeesh. They are nice idea's but like I've said, they don't seem very canon, to the pokemon series, if you know what I mean? ;)

Note to self: FMC italicizes when she's angry.

Agreed.

I guess where I was going with it was that yes, there should be some dark pokemon (my fakemons tend to be dark), but not the whole region. And well, try not to get too angry over criticism, doesn't get you far (a chinese proverb made ten seconds ago).

 

[Coloursfall]

...out of 23 planned Fakemon so far, there are three dark types. And one is a final stage of a non-dark starter line. wtf.

And well, try not to get too angry over criticism, doesn't get you far (a chinese proverb made ten seconds ago).

wat.

Also it's 'ideas' not 'idea's'.

 

[brandman]

I didn't mean dark types, I meant dark looking.

Okay, let's define the Chinese proverb made about 10 mins ago by me.

And well, try not to get too angry over criticism, doesn't get you far: Don't get angry over constructive criticism, it's only here to help.

Also, check user title.

 

[Coloursfall]

So how are they (besides the Legendaries, which I've covered) 'dark looking', hmm? Wait, no, don't answer that. I don't really care.

I know what it means, I'm not a moron, you know.

Also that doesn't mean your use of them is wrong.

Also.

NOW THEN back on track...I'm working in Kiddam and evo now! Expect them soon.

Tally seems a bit too morbid for something you encounter so early. I like the concept, but do you really need to put blood all over its tail? Just making an exaggerated rip on the end would probably look more Pokemon-ish, but still keep the "I WANT TAIL NAO" fully intact.

In the future, keep in mind that blood and weapons are very rare in the Pokemon world; and in the few cases where the latter are featured, they're in a very cartoony & exaggerated style. Remoraid is a handgun disguised as a fish. Farfetch'd beats opponents senseless with a leek sword. I could go on and on...

Either way, they all look great. I dislike when people use secondary type triangles in their starters, but oh well. Looking good; do continue.

 

[Coloursfall]

It's not blood. It's markings. On the fur.

Seriously why don't you people seem to grasp that I don't want my Pokemon all kiddy and sanitized and boring. Should I just add a note to the first post saying that there are OMG ideas that are 'morbid' and 'dark'?

 

[Karkat Vantas]

That... look like bloodstains.

I don't mind if you make them dark, but I still think that having what resembles blood on them is a bit extreme.

 

[Bluberry Bat]

...Oh no! BLOOD! Think of the FUCKING children!

Hey, hey you guys, maybe we WANT dark and morbid, maybe we're tired of FLUFFY CUTE OMG and maybe trying to break away from the kiddie game idea. If you can't handle it get the fuck out and don't play it, enjoy your big shiny eyes and padded tables and censorship and over-reactive minivanmancers. Just because it's a 'Pokémon-like' project doesn't mean it has to be ages 5- and strictly adhere to the main series. The fucking POINT of fakemon and romhacks is to break away from what they do.

 

[Nope]

It's fakemon, and it's FMCs fakemon. I doubt she'll change the designs because they're too "mature". It's not like we can't handle it.

And I like the dark and somewhat scary twist, although the Pokemon would be a pain to sprite.

Speaking about a pain to sprite.. Embgr is one ._.

 

[Green]

I like the idea of a totally evil region. :3

 

[Karkat Vantas]

Pokemon has plenty of latent violence and gore as is; why can't you just tap into that?

I don't mind if you want to make your fakemon all "dark", but there are better ways to go about doing so then making them look so morbid.

[Karkat Vantas]

Exactly. They've got these horrible backstories, but they're really not all that threatening. They can be dark without relying on body horror or bloodstains or anything to that extent.
