i don't want to leave
i want to stay longer
with my invaluable,
irreplaceable friend.
i'll be sure to link the comic that inspired this (edit: found it!!), but i just love the idea of hero and partner being completely inseparable and reuniting in a future life :")
here's another pmd comic i've made a while back if you're interested
Currently thinking about how Cubone is a hero option in Red rescue team. A lot of their dialog implies that they're mourning. There's some good tragedy in there somewhere. A distant sense of longing, mourning a person that you don't remember the name or face of. That crippling guilt of not being able to remember someone you love. The heartache from the idea that you may never remember who they were. But despite that you still feel that longing for them. You can't accept they're gone, but you can't even remember who they were. The loneliness that comes from a hole in your heart that you dont know the shape of. Those feelings are still there, but you don't know who they were for.
I'll be honest. The very first time I finished Blue Rescue Team, the ending didn't really touch me the way the other games in the series did. Even after playing through the remake, the ending still didn't affect me. However, when I replayed through RTDX, I began to appreciate PMD 1 a lot more. After a long struggle against Sky Tower and Rayquaza, I managed to complete the game once again. Without realizing it, I had become attached to my partner, which hadn't happened before (mainly because my previous partner was a pokemon I didn't really care that much about :/). Coupling that with the fact that I BARELY managed to defeat Rayquaza, the ending was much more emotional for me and I actually cried quite a bit. Also, I just wanted to say that upon seeing the prompts for this week, I knew I'd be drawing Sky Tower for this prompt :)
(Sorry for this long speech!! Thanks to those who read this :D Have a great rest of your day or night!)
Cubone Hero and Pikachu Partner from my PMD RT DX(demo playthrough)
Munchlax Hero and Mudkip Partner from my PMD Darkness
Treecko Hero and Pikachu Partner from my PMD Time
Chimchar Hero and Meowth Partner from my PMD sky (normal)
Dusknoir Hero and Eevee Partner from my PMD sky (randomized)
Elekid Hero and Magby Partner from inside my mind (they chill on the line between PMD fan thing and something different, hoping to get them across the hurdle, but using pokemon to bounce them around my brain more)
You may choose any of them to make sprites
wow many options! i'll leave it as a little surprise for who i chose :) here's your link
One might assume that this is similar to naming your child “Robin” or having the surname “Lamb” in real life. It’s not. It’s on the level of bizarrity of meeting someone named “Platypus”, and Calypso and Twig are rightfully bewildered.
did some fanart for Chuggaaconroy’s Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX LP back when it started!! i haven’t been keeping up with it because i haven’t been in the mood for it but the art is still valid lol
the scarf being blue is on purpose because i tend to associate blue with Emile more than red
