I thought you were a wolf before, but when you messaged me, I knew. But what do you do but play innocent and wait for either the huntsman or a chance to strike on your own when stuck chatting up a wolf?

I genuinely asked Gwen a couple times while planning if she thought this was too ridiculous for the random layperson. She and I both thought it was understandable! I've decided the next game I spearhead is going to be a some sort of silly theme vs. a series/game/etc, lol.

(I'm forcing KC to do the heavy lifting on our DRoP game because, well, if you let me get a hold of a fantasy series with 40 years worth of books... I doubt anyone would ever play a game I made again after)!

For this game, what I thought people really needed to get down:

• pokemon are weird animals who evolve in different ways (fill in the details as game proceeds)
• humans catch pokemon and use items
• team rocket and the pokemon they own are bad

Now, what people actually needed to know was probably a bit different...

Part of the issue for me is, as someone who still has no idea what a poke ball is (or whatever), there are too many characters to really try to use research to figure stuff out.

Even if there are things I haven't understood in past games, reading Wiki gave enough insight to make educated guesses on stuff, here I didn't have a clue where to even start. There is too much of a knowledge gap.

I like complicated games, and Rick and Morty was cool for me (and even got me to watch the show while playing), but as weird as that universe was, it was at least digestible. I have played 2 pokemon games now and still don't have any idea what to think of anything. That will never change, and if there is a pokemon 3, I just hope I am a wolf.

So, I don;t think this one is on you, but just a function of the source material.

100% this, Pokemon is just such an intense streak of nerdom with so many facets. It's lasted 20 years and a lot of the people you come across have been with it since the early days.

Didn't get this done before night close (ya'll are supposed to end on a lynch!), but here's the family portrait of our winning wolfies. 🙂

(edited to put a slightly colour corrected version up... scanner is broken, no photoshop on this computer, I'm totally out of my element here. :c)

That reminds me, maybe I didn't read the writeup closely enough, but what exactly happened with the last nignt? Why so many kills?

(Feel free to direct me to read the writeup if it's obvious lol)

Venusaur kill + Normal kill + shotgun kill

Venusaur had a kill that they had to aim the day previous but could go every other day, there was the normal wolf kill, and then Dy ended up with the shotgun so killed with it.

I really like the combo seer/kill item. 😛

 

[Trilt]

Venusaur kill + Normal kill + shotgun kill

...you really should have been playing. 😛

OK it was the venosaur kill that I missed. 👍

With the amount that I followed everything in real time, probably. Hehe.

But I'm so happy I got to be a part of that chat...could be involved in the game without being so involved that my SO would notice...

A+ would do again.

I think it is rather amusing that I was the only one that happened to catch @thedrjojo 's Jilary/Persian post.

Sudowoodo is human size? That's actually kind of creepy. And totally wolfy.

he's actually just under 4 ft tall (I may have looked this up...) but that just looked a bit unimpressive next to venusaur, haha.

tl;dr

Don't trust police officers, don't trust doctors, but most especially DO NOT TRUST HOUSEPLANTS!

You can be a centerpiece. 😛

Happy to have you! I like people around. More than willing to do it again, and I can totally write in a legit NPC role for ya if I get more of a heads up going forward. 😉

Hang on, I suddenly realized I'm kinda surprised there was no Arbok? (but then again it's probably because Jessie had wobbuffet right...) I assumed all the "deep bite wound" kills were team rocket arbok but I guess it was the Persian. Didn't even think about the fact that meowth would also get to evolve (did not fall for that skitty business though. For shame 😛)

Ekans/Arbok existed in the first ideas for the game, but yup, wrote him out in favor of Wobbuffet as I added more and more non-Gen 1 pokemon. Also wanted to give the wolves a hint for how both non-evolving and evolving roles were formatted if they wanted to come up with covers so he fit the bill nicely.

I liked Wobbuffet's role a good bit, actually, it was much more creative than the plain jane blocker (wrap... 🙄) Ekans had been. I'm also developing a stronger and stronger hatred for blocking roles any damn time I'm blocked in a game lol.

@Trilt , why didn't you tell us there is a video on-line of you? Happy to finally meet you.

Kristen Bell's meltdown is one of those videos I watch when I'm having a bad day, lol. I've also had at least a dozen separate people post it on my fb when they discover the video for the first time. 😛

The sloth I worked with (who inspired my love) was actually an absolute dingus who would bite given the chance, so it makes me super nervous when people are so close to them like that!
