Do you know what we really need? A Pokemon that's based off of a puffin. Because puffins are cool.

Puffins are adorable.

imho giving Pokemon breasts is completely unreasonable to begin with. If it's furry art then it's a totally different thing b/c it's JUST art. When someone takes a Pokemon OC and gives them breasts? Really? They don't have breasts because they don't have the maternal need for them. Period. Miltank has teets because it PROVIDES Milk. While Pokemon are based on IRL species, they have their own Kingdoms, Phylum, Class, Orders, Family, Genus and Species. Most don't work like we do. Period.

Pokemon is a weird place to try and find/insert sex appeal, lol. I don’t get why so many people do it, it’s just… goofy.

Hey I see pokemon with breasts getting poked at a lot in "lamepokemonart" and yeah it's pretty bad. But I also give my female pokemon breasts? Like my style is really anthropomorphic and it's not like I'm giving them nipples or anything. (I also only give them boobs if they have arms or slightly resemble humans) Idk what I was trying to get at since I'll probably keep drawing it but I guess I was just wondering what you think.

Honestly, if you’re drawing them in a more anthro-ish style, then yes, it’s fine to give them breasts within reason. If you’re just drawing them pretty much as they are in the series’ style, then it just looks fucking ridiculous. Not to mention, I don’t think Pokemon have any natural use for cleavage anyway;

Hey, I have two pkmn gkinkas that I'm nto sure if they're a bit too ecentiric, but I'll just focus on one in this post. So, umm...What do you think of a Claydol that thinks of himself as male and has no reproductive parts (duh)? I'm also thinking of him having detachable arms in human form, so he wears short sleeved shirts and brown arm-warmers. I kind of feel that detachable legs are going a bit too far(though they kind of are in the sprite). What do you think of the idea so far?

Considering that Claydol is pretty bizarre to begin with, it’s kind of hard not to make anything of it without a few quirks, lol.

It’s arm aren’t attached to it’s body, so giving him detachable ones as a gijinka makes sense! I guess they would have to be artificial though? I mean… he couldn’t just rip off his flesh arms;;;

Claydol doesn’t have separate legs like it does arms, so yeah it might be a little too much? I’d accept it though if you gave a good reason for it!

I like Claydols, so it’s nice to see interesting ideas for them. uwu

N. Who else in Pokemon is written OoC so much that it might as well be a split personality?

LOL well you got me there.

IDK though, N really isn’t that complex if you pay attention to his dialogues in the game and now the anime as well. I guess he’s one of those characters where you really need to put yourself into his mind set?

Just read over his game text, I think it by itself gives a pretty good insight into how he reacts and speaks in general. He talks quickly, for instance, as pointed out by Cheren (and the fact his text scroll is quicker), which is most likely a product of his lack of social interaction.

"Looking at how other people handle writing for them might help too." Normally this would be good advice, but apparently this character is one that almost nobody writes well. (I beg to differ, but that's just me.)

Which character is it? We might be able to put our heads together and figure their complexity out.

I recently came to the terrifying realization that I can't write canon characters without making them OoC. Is there a cure?

Practice, my good man/woman!

Just because you can’t do it well now doesn’t mean you’re doomed to suck at it forever. Just keep trying!

Read up on the canon characters, and if they’re in the anime, watch the episodes they’re in to see how they react and talk. Looking at how other people handle writing for them might help too. Getting someone else to read over your work and give you an honest opinion is always good.


Can you review my gijinka oc? She is a Buneary. Her outfit, for a bit more clarification, is a brown t-shirt, brown leggings, and tan tutu. Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply! This kind of got buried under a bunch of asks, lol;
I love her fluffy eyebrows! The somewhat scruffy hair and ears is also really cute. From the sounds of it, the rest of her outfit is fitting and not outlandish, and I can see where the idea for it came from in the original design of the Pokemon.

What do you think about OCs being related to canon characters, not like a fourth striaton bro or N's long lost sister, but more like Skyla's little cousin who wishes to be more like Skyla and only sees her at family reunions.

I think that’s o.k, as long as it’s not some weirdly huge focal point of the character, like “oh, it’s so and so’s cousin therefore they’re special because of it!”

A little cousin for Skyla sounds adorable, lol. uwu

Do you think if an OC is a mary sue/gary stu if they are helping Cyrus (due to them being relatives and Cyrus manipulating their emotions) and they took control of Palkia via Red Chain, but then Dialga stops them and sends the OC back in time, erasing the some of the Oc's memories and tests the OC if they would follow the same footsteps of the 1st timeline? I have no idea if thats mary sue/gary stue material, what do you think? :/
Anonymous

Errrrr… yeah, that is a bit… much;;;

Cyrus doesn’t have any contact with his family, does he? So I can’t really see him going out of his way to find one to force them to work for him. On top of that… he probably wouldn’t care if they were related or otherwise?

Why would Dialga bother to send the OC back in time though? Like, what purpose would it have for doing so? Why would it care if they did the same thing again or not? It kind of seems like there would have to be an insinuation of something special for this to make sense.

IDK man, I wouldn’t recommend going with these ideas, they just sound a bit too grand. ):
