I'm Back...With a Vengence. XD

Hello all fellow PCA members! I am finally coming back to the PCA universe after an extended hiatus brought on by college work.
First off, if Asuraludu is reading this, I'm going to be sending you the synopsis of the battle between Otaku and Darkfall soon. I don't intend to make you wait much longer than you have already.
Next, I have finally created images of all the members of Team Darkfall. Team Shining Force, my sophomore team, will be coming along soon.
The members include Nox, Ralph (my lucario character), and the tarnished twins (my twin skarmory brothers).
Now, if you're looking at my members of Team Darkfall, you'll notice that they are all still shadow pokemon, yes.
Yes, I know I'm probably being a bit half-baked, but I still want to continue with my base story line.
However, I am taking a huge slice of humble pie here.
--First, Ignacious is the only one of my characters to become a full shadow pokemon. The others merely touch on it, but they still hold enough of it for Nox to use them for his purposes.
--Second, the fact that they are shadow pokemon is completely irrelevant to all story lines except Nox's, with the only outside character involved in that story line being Tenebra, which I have already gotten prior permission from Carlito to use (at least I think I have...I hope I still have it)
--Third, this story line isn't nearly as huge and significant and world altering as everyone thinks. Nox's business with his father hardly concerns mortals, and there aren't really any laws against siphoning off shadow energy from those who are vessels for it.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, I am beginning to notice that I am not the only one who is going into the occult with their characters.
I'm going to do what Rikmach did and post my ideas on the occult and other things in an FAQ which will be coming soon, and it will be open for opinions and corrections.
I'm going to give a preview right here for those who are unsettled by Ignacious's appearance:
Are there pokemorph hybrids which have the traits and attacks of two or more species?
The direct answer: NO. So far, there has been no proven existence of hybrids of two or more species of pokemorphs. However, that doesn't mean that there haven't been attempts to create them in the past and in the present. PokeDNA is a powerful thing, and there are people out there who seek to enhance it further.
The most prominent attempts at creating hybrids made so far basically involve eugenics. This includes practices ranging from selective breeding and sterilization of those with weak traits, all the way to genocide and genetic engineering.
The first two have been practiced all over the world for centuries now. There are cults out there, most centered around a prominent individual with an outrageous dream, or an equally outrageous legend of a hybrid pokemorph. Either way, they have gathered many people who are dedicated to their case and willing to procreate selectively to create a more powerful generation.
So far, none of these groups have even come close to creating a true hybrid, but some of the older ones have members with very prominent features of another species, evident in places like their eyes, ear shape, tail shape, and other minor things, such as short claws where nails should be, but other than that, they are still technically one species. None of them are capable of learning attacks that are unreasonably outside their base species, and none of them have any major changes in places like limb shape and number (including wings).
Even genetic engineering isn't making much headway, with even the most minor attempts ending with disastrous complications, mostly malignant cancer.
It is clear that the world won't be seeing anything like a Raichu with a Fearow beak or a sharpedo with camerupt humps anytime soon.
Okay, well, that about does it for this journal entry. Stay tuned for many more additions to my gallery in the near future.
