Because Mightyena is a dark type, does that make him immune to psychic-type pokemon and hypnosis? You ever daydream about Milkbone doing some hypnosis play?

He does have a natural psychic immunity! Which is actually a bit inconvenient since a little telekinesis would be really useful for hauling him around.

That said, he probably COULD be hypnotized if he wanted to be. Though I haven't thought about that kind of thing.

Pokemon are super fun!
I’m curious, do you have any favorites when it comes to them? There’s so many to pick from to make oc’s out of! Plenty of room for creative interpretation too haha

Oh yeah, a few! Mightyena and Seviper of course, Miraidon, Noivern, Kommo-o, Runerigus... A good few!

Is there something Milkbone doesn't like eating?

He doesn't like seaweed! It's too salty and papery for him, even when it's properly prepared as part of a dish.

i thought milkbone was some kind of sweet drink when reading the title

Kinda like a milk tea? I can see that. I do like a good milk tea.

I love the little glutton! He's so cute! Anything that inspired him to become the eating champion that he is today?

Why thank you!

It was kind of trial and error, honestly. He wasn't suited to battle, but he was alright at contests as a show Pokemon. His trainer had him try out a bunch of different contest types, and it turned out that Eating Contests were what he excelled at! From there he put everything he had into being the absolute best, and ended up World Champ!

Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if you had a hand in where I went with my Pokémon oc with Milkbone. Their vibes are just that powerful I suppose! :o

I'd be delighted to be a positive influence like that, heheh!

I love your mightyena a ton. I have a mightyena myself, but I need to update their design. Trying to get myself sketching again so maybe I'll try to come up with some concepts and designs, maybe sprinkle in some rounds and noms ;3

Why thank yooou! And hey, I encourage that update, there can never be too much Mightyena in the world, especially of the large kind!

TRUUUE! Gonna spread all the large yena art all over FA and BSky one I get more to share! Definitely look out for that~

I'll be keeping an eye out for it!

Well I do have to admit that I have found myself gravitating towards Milkbone, he is such a lovable goofball. Kind of reminds me of an oc that a friend had that also had a nigh insatiable appetite, think it was an eevee though. I do have a question about Milkbone, does he have any kind of food preference?

That's an accurate read of his character!

And yeah! He really likes foods that are crunchy or otherwise require some meaty bite force. It's not often he gets to put that "Bite Pokemon" title to the test! He also really loves sour treats, the tingle of the sourness is just too good.

If Milkbone encountered somebody who was critical of competitive eating, how would Milkbone respond?

Like, someone with the belief that food ought to be savored slowly on the eater's own time instead of shoved down one's throat to a time limit.

Well, he'd probably emphasize that eating contests are only held a few times a year for entertainment, and that competitive eaters aren't shoveling food down tastelessly every single day. :3

Ah, gotcha. Being told that competitive eaters are actually taking the time to enjoy what they are eating as part of the contest might assuage some of that confusion about the event's appeal. Same with learning they don't eat like that all the time.

I've got a pokemon character who has this mindset. He's a thousand-pound typhlosion named Big Kev, and he's as much of a gentle giant as he can be. Part of that includes the belief that making tasty food from scratch is even better than the act of eating said food - and the only thing better than that being sharing homemade food with friends. That love of sharing food is what inspired him to open a bakery.

Yet it's also what influences his opinion on how food ought to be 'best' enjoyed and why he isn't fully into competitive eating. Not to mention the frustration that comes with others often wondering if Big Kev eats competitively himself - or is a gainer, even - just because he's an abnormally huge and heavy pokemon who's a known foodie in his home community.

And FYI: Kev's as mindbogglingly massive as he is because of a genetic problem gone out of control.

Makes sense that he might get mistaken for a competitor at his size, sine it's pretty typical for eating contest pokemon to be on the heavier side, but I can see how that would be frustrating for him too!

I can see where he'd get that sort of mentality too, being a baker and all. It's always nice to watch someone enjoy the food you took time to make, rather than just inhale it!.

Yeah! He and Milkbone might still bond over a shared love of food, though. They both seem affable enough in personality. :)

I've got plenty of Big Kev artwork and stories on my page, too! I can SHOW you how "big" he is. XD
