The clock: *is 5am* The bunnbrain: WHAT IF POKEMON CHARON VERSION

Ok lol i know ive made this exact same post before in my continuing desperation to either find more content for my obscure faves or goddamn create it myself, BUT i just had a new and kinda good idea for this thing!!

what if it was also kinda like “pokemon daycare version”?

When I was a kid i enjoyed this one pokemon rp forum called (I think) Zephyr Island? (in the unlikely event i ever bump into anyone else who played that thing, I was Tanka!) And what I liked is that they had lots of lil bonus spinoff things you could do while you waited for moderators to do all the wild pokemon generation tables and stuff in your main adventure. One I really loved was the “tm learning” board! You’d state which pokemon and which move you wanted to learn, and then write a daily diary of your trainer and mon training and bonding. And the mods would decide if anyone’s story was good enough to win this extra move. I think it was something like “after a certain amount of days/posts you automatically get it but if you do really creative ideas or great writing you can get it faster, or even get bonuses”. It was real neat and i actually found it more fun than the real adventure! I think i did something about one of my higher levelled mons training the lower levelled ones, from the pokemon’s perspective? if i recall it was an old sneasel training a young and reckless scyther, or something like that.

ANYWAY the relevance to Trash Grandpa!

So I was thinking cos Trash Grandpa Is Trash he probably would have no interest in a regular pokemon adventure plot and would just catch pokemon to sell them. So what if it was just a game about hatching pokemon eggs to try and get shinys and Become The Super Rich?

And then I thought maybe exapnd upon that and just have a game where you play as a Pokemon Breeder in a Daycare Center? like you have the thing of hatching eggs but also taking care of other people’s pokemon and training them. And it could be like that old rp thread, the trainers could give you missions on how much training each pokemon needs and then you try and meet that goal by the end of the time limit. And you’d have to balance out how much time you spent on each mon, and not taking too many jobs that you cant complete in time. And also maybe you can still go out on expeditions to catch wild pokemon but it’d be more like you rescue injured or abandoned pokemon and work to rehibilitate them so they can be adopted someday.

But lol that wouldnt really be a Charon game anymore but i’d like to make some sort of daycare lady protag who’s still a grumpy gran. Just a less ‘actually working for an evil team’ sort of grumpy and more of the heroic kind.

Or, yknow, it could be set in my dumb postgame Charon redemption headcanons where he becomes a pokemon prof and turns the Old Chateau into a wildlife sanctuary for ghosts.

BUT THEN actually that might be more fun as an ask blog or something...?

BUT THEN ALSO what if i did the daycare fangame thing but as an original project with fakemon instead?

hhhh why can i never decide on any ideassss

#also i did have that one idea once of a homunculus farm shop game but that was a totes different gameplay idea really #i liked the ocs i made for that tho so i might try and find somewhere else to use them #it was a cool worldbuilding concept of having all monsters be artificial creations and monster catching is #something for rich people only cos of that #and you'd be setting up the first monster making farm in a lower class area and trying to make the hobby more accessable to the people #while dealing with the financial struggles of this venture and the hatred of rich toffs who view you as tainting the hobby #also you would make littel monsters in a cauldron and that is cute
