Zigzagoon is just plain awesome. His jagged edges and zigzag method of movement encourage me to think on a non-linear path. I figure that this is the Pokemon my trainer self would have perched on his shoulder, judging all who come before me with his big, brown eyes.

Having my last name start with Z just makes it all the sweeter.

That, and who can't love his face?

Team Enterprise is ready to go where no Pokemon has gone yet

General | Posted 17 years ago

I picked up the new mystery dungeon game yesterday.

I <3

Just like my last game, I turned out to be a charmander. It's fate, I tell you. I picked Chikorita as my partner, for she was the only female available. No complaints there. So far, so good, and it has actually inspired me to begin my own mystery dungeon fic.

It'd be based off of Blue Rescue Team, and while parts of the story would change, I want to keep the majority feel for the series. As such, I will have goofy antics and dramatic twists. I'll also add my own little Pokescience to the whole ordeal, and give a pretty good insight into the life of living as a Pokemon who rescues Pokemon.

However, I want to do something different with the action. The way the missions are set up (Letter ranks all the way up to A and S), the way you can combine moves to create new ones, and just the whole feel of the setting make me want to do this a bit like Naruto. Rocks = Shuriken, Spikes = Kunai, Pokemon attacks = Jutsu, and combined Pokemon attacks = Special Jutsu. This was born from a thought of a charmander shouting "Fire style: Ember!" and then spitting several little dart-like fireballs remeniscent of Sasuke's Phoenix Fire. It won't be exactly like that, but it made me smile. It'll have a very anime feel to it, which will allow me to put rather silly things into it and still keep it serious enough to let it flow.

To put it simply, if Moat is Bleach, than this new story is Naruto/One Piece

I won't stop writing MoaT, though, as, ah, well, the stories... that'll be revealed later, I suppose. I'll try to keep a one-to-one, but it all depends on what I feel like writing at the time.

Now, as for the REAL Pokemon game, I want to find out who here has Diamond, Pearl, and/or Pokemon Revolution for the Wii. If you do, reply here with your code(s) so I can add you, the readers, into my crazy, crazy world.

While I have you gamers at attention, there is something else I want to bring up. It's true that, with TMs, there are set Pokemon with strengths and weaknesses above and beyond others. However, I propose we form our own little battle style; Natural Battles. In this form of combat, you can use any Pokemon, provided that they do not have any TM-acquired moves. If you want unique movesets, then breeding is encouraged to achieve their egg moves. If we keep it like this, then any Pokemon we use can be formidable in its own right, and I think it would be fun coming up with different strategies for how to use a Pokemon the way it was naturally meant to be used. Salamence would no longer know Earthquake, and Pokemon that do learn that move naturally usually come with a high price; a double weakness to grass and/or water. It makes ya think, doesn't it?

Tell me what you think when and if you add your code, and as always, I hope you enjoy the stories to come.
