I am also happy with your modhood.

That is, I'm happy with Ak as a mod.

So, it's been about two months since I got ekected as a Mod for the Discord. Back then, I accepted under the condition that after one or two months people would have the opportunity to speak about whether they are willing to keep me as a Mod.

Personally, I am willing to stay in the position; even though it does make a difference as to how I'm interacting with the chat.

This brings me to the main point of this post: Are you guys happy with me in that position?
If any of you have concerns, I ask you to please voice them here. Alternatively, if you have concerns but want to mention them anonymously, you can message the other Mods, who will then take them to the Board for you.

I'm also a big fan of Madame, Plux, and the Aquaria line. They seem p neat. =]

You may or may not have heard that a ROM of the 1997 demo/prototype version of Pokemon Gold & Silver - AKA Generation II - has recently come to light (I first ran into it here, but there's loads of articles about it). A group on The Internet has been working on it, and they've extracted data on all the Pokemon included.

Assuming The Cutting Room Floor can be trusted (I don't know the first thing about them), it turns out that the new Pokedex for Gen II was very much in a state of flux. Of the 100 new Pokemon added in the games, at least 60 were substantially different from their final forms.

As it happens, a) I'm a saddo geek, and b) I found someone who had provided colour sprites for the entire Proto-Johto Pokedex. So here they are! The original Johto starters, the weirdly different Pokemon you already know, the babies and evolutions from Kanto that never made it in, and the entirely new critters!

(Names in "quotes" are created by the TCRF team from the Japanese text; names without are actual Pokemon names.)









It's also worth a note that Umbreon was originally Poison-type, though it looked pretty much the same.

With all these new Pokemon (including 18 more Gen I evolutions!), but only 100 total, that means there's a whole heap of familiar Pokemon who got left out. As far as I can tell, this is the complete list (all 38 of them):

Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion, Totdile/Croconaw/Feraligatr, Sentret/Furret, Chinchou/Lanturn, Wooper, Togetic, Bellossom, Azumarill, Sudowoodo, Sunkern (though Sunflora is there), Yanma, Misdreavus, Pineco/Forretress, Dunsparce, Gligar, Granbull, Shuckle, Heracross, Teddiursa/Ursaring, Slugma/Magcargo, Swinup/Piloswine, Corsola, Stantler, Smeargle, Larvitar/Pupitar/Tyranitar, Lugia, Celebi

Anyone who isn't in the list or one of the pictures made it through unscathed - so that's good news for fans of Skarmory, Ho-oh, and Natu!

So who's your favourite? I admit to being quite partial to Goofy Pichu, and Meowsy (Baby Meowth) is just adorable, but I think the top of my list has to be Anchorage. It's a shark - but it's also an anchor! And if its name is anything to go by, it's a seething ball of fury (probably because it can't swim because its tail is an anchor). Amazing.

I've gone ahead and fixed it.

And heh—Ix needing hugs has been a thing for a while, but hopefully as he gets to know Charlie better and get over his fear of werewolves, he'll start opening up a little bit more to other people.

Squishy robot chests... *shudder*

Thanks for the review!

Password is the same as last time.

(That is, Party?)

Password is still Party?

(Yes, with the question mark.)

The Birthday CAH game begins!

Password is "Party?" without the quotation marks.

Though I expect the timing had nothing to do with that anyway. |D

And it's very plain how much effort the two teams are making on balancing themselves - trying to be aware of themselves and each other. And then still pushing the buttons that are just out of sight. (Also, Ix deserves hugs - on his terms - but we knew that already. ;) )

Also... oh gods, the robot biology in this fic. >.< There are just some lines! Slightly mitigated by Charlotte's rhyme, but still.

I also had no idea who Penny was, but I still felt near-crying after what happened to her in the fic, so that scene was sold quite well. So was Serendipity's moment during the first charge scene.

In short: I love this mission, despite not knowing much personally about either canon.

Did spot one thing, though: "Charlotte sighed and stood up, holding out her hands to pull Ix to her feet. “Less chance of dying, you mean.""

It was a lot of work, from glancing at the wiki's recent activity. I can't wait to check it out properly! Thank you so much for taking it on.

To be honest, I'm shocked I got there first.

This worked reasonably well as a slice-of-life expository backstory thing (which is what I'm assuming it was meant to be).

Also, I think you'll want to drop the second comma in " stuttering, spitting coffee, rather than"

There's also something off about this sentence "As Harris began strolling to his portal room, and as he passed through the endless void between dimensions, he wondered how much of that critter was left." I'd maybe go with something like (if I've got the sense of it correctly) "As Harris strolled through his portal room and into the endless void between dimensions, he wondered ...".

Dinosaurs are good! And Mamvish is wonderful too- it's always good to see her at work.

Well written, as ever. I'll have to see if I can't make the next one...

(Speaking of which! September-ish, maybe? I need a summer vacation and Ix is going to be in London at some point then too.)

(and, glancing above, it looks like a lot of agents are breaking bones this week)

and suitably somber while still having a PPC feel to it.

Ix and Charlotte are assigned a crossover fic, but sometimes, two agents just aren't enough. Charlie and Serendipity join them as players three and four in a Destiny x RWBY mission.

One would more accurately say that negotiations ended due to Bramandin being completely unwilling to compromise on a list of demands that were, frankly, ridiculous. They basically want to re-hash every interaction we've ever had with them (until everyone agrees what happened and why), revoke the ban (not part of their original list, but got added in later), and set up a new PPC-esque world for them. The important thing to know is that they threatened to come back and resume their campaign of terror if I didn't change my mind and give them the full list. So, we'll see them again.

I have company over at the moment, I will fill you all in more fully later.
