The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

[Noblejanobii]

So essentially a Pokemon Conquest movie?

[Chakramaster]

Yeah, adapting a PMD for a movie wouldn't work. I mean, they did the 6 chapter manga of the first game, and it cut out some major stuff. (No Rayquaza for starters!) And that was the lightest on plot of the series.
So they'd have to make up a new PMD style plot specifically for a movie, like FF: Spirits Within.


Dream crossover TV show/movie; A historical drama set in feudal japan, but with Pokemon.
Just think how differently japanese history would play out if there had been pokemon! And imagine what kinds of pokemon Yukimura Sanada or Mitsuhide Akechi or even Nobunaga Oda would have had... Oh, wait a minute. :P

Yeah the Genji's Adventure was so short. It wasn't the endgame plot the game was. Was they originally thought was causing it actually was. Not the whole calamity event every one of us knows. It was Groudon. Maybe it was intentional to keep the game's ending secret and help bring people to play it?

[Noblejanobii]

That's probably why, yeah. I remember reading that back in high school too. I think they did a short PMD2 manga as well? With like a Chimchar and a Turtwig?

[Shruikan]

Yeah, but then the manga also revealed Gengar's true identity, which is kinda a post game spoiler in the first place.
I don't recall a PMD2 manga, but maybe it wasn't translated/published outside of a magazine or something?

Speaking of which, I'm kinda bummed that they never translated Pokemon ReBurst. That seemed different enough to be interesting. Myabe they thought it was too different?

[Noblejanobii]

I feel like I remember reading it though. But idk.

Ah yeah! The ReBurst manga looked so cool but it never got translated. Cool concept though.

[Shruikan]

Okay, so it was a thing. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w...rkness_(manga)
Says it was a pre-order bonus, not sure if it was the same outside of Japan or not.

[Neo Emolga]

Yeah, I remember we had a WAR RP based on ReBurst. I knew nothing about it prior to that but it was great to put it into action. Good times.

[Noblejanobii]

I wanna do that Detective Pikachu inspired RP we were discussing on the discord. We could even include those Zootopia elements that Winter suggested too. Ryme City starts facing conflicts over whether or not pokemon should be kept in pokeballs or allowed to remain free. Then something happens to one of the faction leaders or something and it's up to our protags to figure it out.

[Neo Emolga]

Sounds good, but what I'd love is a really deep, lore-packed PMD RP. I was looking forward to Sabi's RP and then it just fizzled out and she disappeared. Again, sigh.

[Noblejanobii]

I tried to start one of those once but it fizzled out pretty quick too.
