| Alright, the Elite Four contest is closed. (I know I'm late, shut up.) And the winner is the magnificent MagnificentMudkip! All the Elite Four member's character profiles can be seen here: http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2081010-Elite-Four-Smelly-Pokemon-... One author is still in the process of making theirs, and I will put the Champion there as well once I'm done making him. I'm still accepting gym leader suggestions, but I think I'm going to scrap the preset trainer idea in favor of making the main character's appearance more ambiguous. |
| Alright! The concept for the new story is coming along pretty well. Right now I'm working on an Elite Four. I've already given three of these positions to certain writers and figured I'd have a bit of a contest for the fourth. So anyone who wants to can send in a trainer bio complete with age, appearance, and personality along with their team of four to six pokemon. (Pokemon on any gym leader or Elite Four team must be based around one type. They can have dual-type pokemon but they all have to share at least one type.) I'm also accepting similar bios for gym leaders, though you will also have to include which number gym they are and their strength and team size must be scaled appropriately. Aaaaannnnddd (yes, there's more!) I'm only going to have ten character slots for the main character. Five male and five female. So if you want to get an OC or something in there, don't hesitate to send me a trainer bio. Of course, they won't include pokemon teams since they'll just be starting out. Also, the minimum age for all characters is sixteen. |
| Hey guys, I gots another story idea! Or a sort of branch for my "Adventure" story, not sure which yet. Anywho, I got the idea that maybe I'd create a version of the Adventure story in which the pokemon are supposed to smell bad and all traoners battle through stink. So the story would follow a fresh trainer trying to become a champion in their region. (Also not sure if I should use the actual regions or make up one for the story. If it's the latter, might need help coming up with gym leaders and an elite four.) And there could be some sort of stink "leveling" system in play. What do you think? |
| Okay, most of you guys probably know by now, but I'm going to say it anyways. Each branch in any of my Smelly Pokemon interactives is completely independent of another branch. That said, there are a few events that are continuous throughout every storyline. I've created a document to keep track of these 'canon' events so I know what can and cannot be done with certain characters. There's only about three things on the list right now so if there's any developments you want added to the list, don't hesitate to tell me. On another note, I'm considering creating a new interactive. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. On a different another note, I'm thinking about maybe allowing characters from the trainer tournament cross over to the adventure story, let me know what you guys think! |
| Hey everyone! I've got a new idea for an interactive and wanted to know if it was a good idea... or just plain stupid. My idea is to create another pokemon tournament completely separate from the others and this time have them be trainer-battle affairs. There'd be new rules like being able to have your way with the loser and I'm trying to think of a way to actually include trainers in the battles somewhat. So, what do you think? |
| Well, for trainer participation I was thinking of creating a big list of abilities and writers can pick up to three to add to their trainer. The abilities would look something like this: Mesmerism: The trainer is able to use hypnosis on a single enemy pokemon per battle. It may also be used on trainers after a match ends. Stench (thinking of maybe splitting this into various smell abilities, like Gassy and Halitosis and otherwise) the trainer smells foul as well as their pokemon, allowing them to strike but not more than once every three turns. Attractive: The trainer's good looks distract the enemy trainers and their pokemon, allowing for an unstoppable reversal. Can only be used once every ten turns. If you guys have your own ability ideas, I'd love to hear 'em. I'm going to need a lot more than these three. Heck, you can make a whole list and mail them to me if you want. |
