I brought up something like this before but I wanted to talk about it again and I just think it’d be a little exercise to talk about, name 10 Pokémon that you would travel around the world with and do fun stuff without having to worry about battling.

PeridotGX Do you have an AO3 account by any chance? I know you have a fanfiction.net one since you subbed to the story, but do you have an AO3 account? Just curious. If so, I'd recommend getting one so you can leave a review on AO3, if you like haha

Indeed, tho to make sure we're on the same line. I did all the coloring, in fact, beside the hair & most of the miko, all the colors were thought on the spot. Which was hard at first, but it paid off in the end. That, and it took me a couple of days to do it, if not atleast a week. It was all woth it tho because he is one adorable trickster.

I've actually never seen this fella before! Looks great dude!

Really? Weird, I thought I tagged you last time, but hey, glad you saw it!

Good work mate. I like how clean this looks and nothing looks off at a glance.

Awww, thanks! < 3 Color balancing is still something i'm learning, but on this piece, I feel like I did a great job on that part, all while also making sure it fit Levi character. All thanks to the power of LAYERS, Ctrl+Z & looking up other artists online.

And CSP.

I just want to mention that a Kitsune mixed with a Tanuki is a blessed combination

xD Yes, I know you did the coloring. And I agree, the wait was worth it.

 

[Megadoomer]

This game is pretty hard. Looking back, I really did rely on a guide to finish it, but it was worth it. (For the record, Persona 3 is harder because you can't control your party members.)

I agree that I like the central cast of characters more here than Persona 5 or even 3. Like you said, I prioritized them and their social links, so my connections with them were strongest out of the whole cast (plus Nanako and Dojima because wholesome family drama is wholesome).

My squad for the rest of the game ended up being Yukiko, Kanji, and Teddie. Yukiko is your dedicated healer, Teddie is your dedicated defensive buffer plus attacker, and Kanji just hurts and takes a beating. It covers all bases and you never really need to use intense boss prep after Shadow Kanji beyond leveling up and getting stronger personas.

What were your thoughts on the finale?

Spoiler: P4 Spoilers

Specifically, starting from Nanako & Namatame to uncovering the murderer.

I'm glad that I had a guide for those, because I definitely would have gotten the bad ending at various points.

Major Persona 4 spoilers here, though it's largely my unorganized ramblings about the endgame. (also, I mention Persona 5 spoilers in here, though I try to be vague about those)

Spoiler

If I hadn't known that you needed to avoid going full-on vigilante justice in order to get the good ending, I would have said "screw it" and chucked Namatame in the TV, seeing as it looked like he had killed (or at least was directly responsible for the death of) a little girl.

It's understandable why they didn't leave Namatame to die (that would be entering villain territory, or at least morally ambiguous), but I don't know how people would have found the true ending originally. I get that I needed to talk to everybody whose social link got to rank 10, but I wouldn't have known to check the Junes elevator 2-3 times afterwards if I hadn't used a guide.

I knew about the twist with Adachi beforehand, thanks to BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, though I didn't expect him to be such a sleaze. I didn't see all of the choices for who the murderer could be, but I could potentially see it being frustrating if they give you a list of every character in the game and give you three chances to pick the correct option.

The options that I saw were the main party members, Dojima, Nanako, Adachi, and Namatame - out of those, Adachi's the only possible option (there's no way that Nanako would be the mastermind behind the murders), but if I didn't know that Adachi was the killer in advance, I probably would have kept going through the list and not picked him. There weren't any clues that I picked up on like what Persona 5 had for its traitor commenting on delicious pancakes.

I kind of figured that the story of Izanami would be involved somehow, since otherwise an extended lecture on the mythology of Izanami and Izanagi would have been completely pointless. However, I'm not familiar with Japanese mythology, so I wasn't sure about just how significant those two were until I looked it up. The twist didn't catch me off-guard like it did with Persona 5, since in that case, I was unfamiliar with the series and had no idea how recurring characters had previously been portrayed.

All in all, I liked the endgame. I wasn't sure about how the Adachi twist was handled at first (I felt like the characters were jumping to conclusions, like "he could have destroyed all of the evidence" or "he could be much more intelligent/competent/evil than he appears to be"), but they did well with justifying it afterwards, and he's such a troll in his new characterization that it grew on me. The transition from a human villain to a god pulling the strings felt smoother than it did in Persona 5, though maybe that's because I wasn't as familiar with the series when I played Persona 5.

Spoiler: Persona 4 Spoilers

Yeah you have to ****ing work for this good ending, especially on your first try. One, you gotta go against every emotion you're feeling and not push this crazy idiot into the TV.

Two, even if you think something's off, you gotta answer to Yosuke arguing with you six times before you get to progress with the good ending. Like you really gotta believe in yourself for this ****.

Three, you really gotta intuitively suspect who the murderer is. Like you said, the game doesn't just lay it out for you. I guess you could just reload your save and go through the list for each suspect, but who are we kidding. The real murderer was obviously Nanako.

Four, the entire plot was about the serial killing so expecting the player to go and God Hunt is pretty ballsy. Like damn. You really gotta think if you don't wanna use a guide.

But yeah, it's a pretty good finale even if you knew who dun it. Plus Nanako "dying" and Dojima being sad beforehand was the saddest thing ever and that's when it clicked with me that I love the cast.

I also like how Adachi is just a bumbling idiot. Like Goro is a mastermind chess player with extreme athleticism and the will power of adult politicians. Meanwhile, Adachi's just some bored and lazy asshole who got lucky and has no apparent talents nor drive to improve his situation. It surprisingly realistic for a murder motivation. You know, compare to ******* child conspiracy plot developed by a teenager.

So I’m gonna post a follow up question, what kind of activities would you do with your Pokémon and also what activities would you like to do that your Pokémon would allow you to do? Some of my examples:

-I’d take pretty much all the dog Pokémon bicycling with me
-I’d love to go soaring though the air riding on Flygon.
-Primarina and Totodile would make great swimming companions
-Alolan Rattata & Ribombee would be my cooking buddies (also Torchic who would light fires for me)
-Smeargle would be my painting buddy
-and Sylveon would be my emotional support companion

Teach Emolga various gliding tricks.
Have Minccino help me get rid of all the messes I leave around the house.
Ensure I don't get cold so easily with Flareon and also maybe cook things.

Swampert & I would take to the seas and explore the world for some adventures, I'd volunteer Gardevoir to join me in my meditation sessions, Heracross would be in charge with various outside duties around the house like mowing the lawn, Swalot would be in charge to cleaning out trash, I would watch my favorite cartoons with Driftblim, and Glaceon would be in charge cooling me down during a hot day.

Also, I allow my team to sleep with me in my bedroom because I love them and they're the best.

I do have a hard time working on stuff despite having more time to do so, but as shown on the top of this page. I can still kick my butt a bit to work here and there.

That, and thinking too much about everything can hurt your motivation, so sometime, you just gotta say "**** it", and do whatever you want.

Notes

• Alternate Costumes that change who the character is are treated like Legendary Skins from CTR Nitro Fuled (Same base stats and kart selection but with some unique animations at the victory podium).
• Rather then use Generic Enemies, Paper Mario partners and antagonists were selected to give the racers more personality. Each characters normal "enemy" skin is selectable as an alternate costume.
• The Broodals are able to share the same stats as they are each enclosed in a peice of the RoboBrood as their kart, with their head sticking out of the top in a glass bubble.
• Baby DK and Baby Bowser are alternate costumes for Bowser Jr. and Donkey Kong Jr, rather then the "babies" character.
• Rabbid Luigi, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Yoshi, Rabbid Cranky, and Spawney are alternate costumes for Rabbid Mario. Rabbid Kong is an alternate costume for Donkey Kong.
• Dry Bones and Dry Bowser appear as alternate costumes for Kooper and Bowser respectively.
• Almost every character has a "Doctor", "Metal", "Cat", and "Tanooki" costume, which comes standard with every character when you unlock them. Extra costumes like Mr. L and Shadow Queen must be bought from the Toad Brigade's Pit Crew Shop.
• All characters that originate from the Paper Mario series are rendered in full 3D for the first time, except for Paper Mario himself, who is depicted in 2D, similar to his appearance in Mario & Luigi Paper Jam.
• While all guest characters bring their own tracks and karts, Sonic and Timber (and later Mega Man and Crash Bandicoot) are treated as crossovers with "Sonic and All-Stars Racing", "Diddy Kong Racing", "Mega Man: Battle & Chase", and "Crash Team Racing" respectivley. With additional tracks, karts, and even power-ups compared to the other guests.
• Pac-Man, Don-Chan, and Matmetchi make their main series debut after previously having appeared in the Arcade series "Mario Kart Arcade GP".
• While Mii's can be customized to create as many alternate costumes as you want, the "base" costumes that come when you start the game include Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aimé, Shigeru Miyamoto, Masahiro Sakurai, Doug Bowser, and Yoshiaki Koizumi.
• As a thank you to Square Enix for allowing the use of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars content, Link is given a costume where he wears the Erdrick Armor from Dragon Quest and Mario has an alternate skin where he wears Cloud's costume from the original Final Fantasy VII (in it's original Purple color scheme).
• If one is able to get a good look at the concourse in Waluigi Stadium, either through photo mode, camera angle tricks, or hacking; one can see that one of the food dispensaries is labled "Waluigi's Taco Stand".
• All courses are redesigned, even if they have appeared in a previous title, to be given a fresh new appearance and to help the title sand out.

 

[Sephazon]

Things have got quiet in Japan. I'm afraid that certain publications, such as Famitsu and Nintendo Deam, may be disrupted in the coming weeks. It's interesting to note that discussion of ARMS has been pushed aside in favor of Bravely Default II discussion, and, of course, Final Fantasy VII Remake. However, I believe it's more likely to see a Bravely Default II newcomer than a Final Fantasy VII newcomer, particularly as the next fighter may not be revealed until long after Final Fantasy VII remake hype dies down, whereas Bravely Default II hasn't even been rated by the ESRB yet. This may ostensibly be cause for a bigger problem in Japan, particularly with CERO temporarily suspending operations and ratings for upcoming games.

Notes

• Alternate Costumes that change who the character is are treated like Legendary Skins from CTR Nitro Fuled (Same base stats and kart selection but with some unique animations at the victory podium).
• Rather then use Generic Enemies, Paper Mario partners and antagonists were selected to give the racers more personality. Each characters normal "enemy" skin is selectable as an alternate costume.
• The Broodals are able to share the same stats as they are each enclosed in a peice of the RoboBrood as their kart, with their head sticking out of the top in a glass bubble.
• Baby DK and Baby Bowser are alternate costumes for Bowser Jr. and Donkey Kong Jr, rather then the "babies" character.
• Rabbid Luigi, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Yoshi, Rabbid Cranky, and Spawney are alternate costumes for Rabbid Mario. Rabbid Kong is an alternate costume for Donkey Kong.
• Dry Bones and Dry Bowser appear as alternate costumes for Kooper and Bowser respectively.
• Almost every character has a "Doctor", "Metal", "Cat", and "Tanooki" costume, which comes standard with every character when you unlock them. Extra costumes like Mr. L and Shadow Queen must be bought from the Toad Brigade's Pit Crew Shop.
• All characters that originate from the Paper Mario series are rendered in full 3D for the first time, except for Paper Mario himself, who is depicted in 2D, similar to his appearance in Mario & Luigi Paper Jam.
• While all guest characters bring their own tracks and karts, Sonic and Timber (and later Mega Man and Crash Bandicoot) are treated as crossovers with "Sonic and All-Stars Racing", "Diddy Kong Racing", "Mega Man: Battle & Chase", and "Crash Team Racing" respectivley. With additional tracks, karts, and even power-ups compared to the other guests.
• Pac-Man, Don-Chan, and Matmetchi make their main series debut after previously having appeared in the Arcade series "Mario Kart Arcade GP".
• While Mii's can be customized to create as many alternate costumes as you want, the "base" costumes that come when you start the game include Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aimé, Shigeru Miyamoto, Masahiro Sakurai, Doug Bowser, and Yoshiaki Koizumi.
• As a thank you to Square Enix for allowing the use of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars content, Link is given a costume where he wears the Erdrick Armor from Dragon Quest and Mario has an alternate skin where he wears Cloud's costume from the original Final Fantasy VII (in it's original Purple color scheme).
• If one is able to get a good look at the concourse in Waluigi Stadium, either through photo mode, camera angle tricks, or hacking; one can see that one of the food dispensaries is labled "Waluigi's Taco Stand".
• All courses are redesigned, even if they have appeared in a previous title, to be given a fresh new appearance and to help the title sand out.

As it happens, Bandai Namco is currently hiring a Mario Kart Tour Planner and Game Designer.

・ Designing Mario Kart Tour courses, as well as creating and adjusting relevant data.
・ Designing Mario Kart Tour mini-game levels, accompanied by data analysis
・ Detailing specifications and adjustments of various courses, mechanics and strategies for mini-games.
・ Negotiating with related companies and departments.

So I’m gonna post a follow up question, what kind of activities would you do with your Pokémon and also what activities would you like to do that your Pokémon would allow you to do? Some of my examples:

-I’d take pretty much all the dog Pokémon bicycling with me
-I’d love to go soaring though the air riding on Flygon.
-Primarina and Totodile would make great swimming companions
-Alolan Rattata & Ribombee would be my cooking buddies (also Torchic who would light fires for me)
-Smeargle would be my painting buddy
-and Sylveon would be my emotional support companion

I want to hug an Arcanine.

It's so fluffy.

Things have got quiet in Japan. I'm afraid that certain publications, such as Famitsu and Nintendo Deam, may be disrupted in the coming weeks. It's interesting to note that discussion of ARMS has been pushed aside in favor of Bravely Default II discussion, and, of course, Final Fantasy VII Remake. However, I believe it's more likely to see a Bravely Default II newcomer than a Final Fantasy VII newcomer, particularly as the next fighter may not be revealed until long after Final Fantasy VII remake hype dies down, whereas Bravely Default II hasn't even been rated by the ESRB yet. This may ostensibly be cause for a bigger problem in Japan, particularly with CERO temporarily suspending operations and ratings for upcoming games.

I don't know about a Bravely Default II character. I mean, how many characters in the last pass were actually used to promote a new or upcoming game? Hero, and MAYBE Byleth even though Three Houses had already been out for months and the window for promotion was long past.

I would argue it's less about promoting Bravely Default II and more about having a relevant character release coincide with the launch of the new title, particularly if a Bravely Default character was pitched beforehand. Of course, if such a character were to be announced, it would no doubt be painted in the light you described. Beyond this, I'm neither advocating nor supporting the idea that we will have such a fighter, only that it would be more likely than another Final Fantasy character.

So what would be the weight class for each of these characters?

Also, I allow my team to sleep with me in my bedroom because I love them and they're the best.

I want to hug an Arcanine.

It's so fluffy.

Same on both fronts.

Okay, Fair Point. I still think if Square is going to allow anyone in the next pass it would/should be Geno as this passes equivalent to Banjo.

-Pikachu would be like a mini electric generator for when the power goes out, but only for small things like the microwave and charging the mobile phone and portable gaming devices.
-Meowth would accompany me in going out to run errands and be on the lookout for shiny things on the ground like loose change.
-Arcanine would keep the smaller Pokemon warm in colder nights.
-Totodile and Popplio would help me bathe my Pokemon.
-Sobble would join me in being anxious and depressed.
