NEWBLACK'S PROFILE

The undead are among us,
at dawn they shrink back to their silken beds.
They dance by night
and drink the blood
of a child's broken neck.
The Curse of Cpt. Lovele...
Nautical-themed cephalopod-pirate-based action-shmup.

@YM afaik counsellors are pretty much trained to validate (or at the very least least not invalidate) the subjective life experience their clients report to them. I think the logic is that without doing so they would run the risk of making them feel bad about feeling bad (as in "come on, it's not that bad, get over it" etc - which people who seek counselling tend to have already had their fill of.)

Making a game that's purposely "bad"(YMMV)

I really enjoy terrible things but I think you have to be very very clever about what you do if you make something like that intentionally and have it work.

I don't see a reason why it would be denied, though.

Picturing how would be an RMN Convention in real life...

Everyone would have to wear username-tags on their chests so they could be identified, it'd be like a support group/really horrible speed dating.

Buuuut what about when you run out of animals (which they did)?
There are 8.7 million known animal species, I doubt that was the reason.
Try inventing a Pokemon based on the Velvet Worm, Cookie Cutter Fish or Raccoon Dog, I double dare you. :P

Maybe I'm naive but that doesn't seem very hard to me tbqh .-. (y'know, assuming the ability to draw in a style that seems pokemon-y - but the actual design part doesn't seem very hard)

I should have known that, I'm kinda into birds, a bit, sorta-ish. I guess maybe it had something to do with spearow taking the "sparrow" pun name and everyone knows that when sparrows grow up they become angry herons.

But wow holy shit I love the actual pigeon pokemon, that's brilliant.

Pokemon wish-list:

I don't hate on pokemon designs I just laugh about them.

I've not played a pokemon game since red so what follows is pure conjecture:

I think the criticism about new pokemon designs being bad is not because they're too different to how they used to do it back in gen 1 but actually because they're not different enough - by which I mean they just kept applying the same formula but taking it to the nth degree rather than doing something new.

So it's like, okay yeah this formula was new and interesting in gen 1 but now it's just the same thing taken to its logical conclusions and worn out in the process. People are remembering the novelty of gen 1 and equating it with "better designs" when really it's just because it was novel then, rather than superior.

One of my favorites for loldesign is Pidgey which is literally like "anime pigeon".
