Don't get too excited, I found enough hiccups to keep me going. :P Still, you do seem to be retaining a few of my mini-lectures.
In conclusion: Cassie is pleased.

Seriously though, its as good a PPC as I've ever seen. Curse you for beating me to the first Haloverse PPC. :p
Would you be willing to beta a Haloverse PPC I'm writing in the near future?

*gives in* so, pokemon biology eh. by

Disclaimer - my entire knowledge of pokemon is based on my having watched the first series of the cartoon when I was about eleven or twelve, which is over ten yeras ago now.
Pokemon biology ... yeah. I can't really say much on the front of the mechanics of Pokeballs or of the whole laser thing, but as for the 'evolution' ... well. There are things I can say on that score.
Evolution, for a start, is the wrong term. Metamorphosis is the correct term. Yes, that's right, what butterflies do. I know there are different types of Pokemon and that only some of them are 'insect type', but if I had to fit them into an Earth phylogenetic system I would put them in the phylum Arthropoda.
Yes, I *know* some of them are mammal-like and rock-like and plant-like, but hear me out :)
See, the thing about arthropods (not just insects, but we'll get to the classification thing soon, I promise) is that they are incredible mimics. There are arthropods that are almost impossible to distinguish from bits of plant, from bits of stone, from snakes and so forth. And arthropods metamorphose, which is very important.
Animals and plants are grouped based on different charactersitics, and the idea of grouping them is to make sure that each group contains only organisms that are more closely related to each other than they are to everything outside the group. And modes of life are very important criteria for dividing up organisms - outward appearance is actually one of the least important criteria - it is so easily changed by selection pressure. So given that all Pokemon have this same basic mode of reproduction/metamorphosis, which can be catalysed by rocks, of all things (and I'll get onto THAT later as well), I'm going to group them in their own class, part of the phylum Arthropoda and a sister-taxon to the classes Insecta, Chelicerata etc etc. This group is cladistically correct because it is monophyletic (nothing that belongs in the group has been left out - no other animals reproduce like Pokemon do)
As for the rock catalyst thing, it is possible (not probable, and not likely, but possible) that these magical rocks contain essential elements or compounds that catalyse the chemical processes that cause them to metamorphose, or that stress them into changing, somewhat like bad water conditions force axolotls (which are normally neotenous and happy about it) to undergo the last stage of development and become newts.
This is a poor and depauperate explanation but I'm sort of scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
I would like to state that this is me mostly me waffling on about biology and probably mostly talking out my arse and that I claim no authority on Pokemon canon. That said ... if these ideas are any use, feel free to use them.

PPC Movie post! Calling artists this time! by

Hello from the Urplefilms Ltd. production team: Trojie, Cassie and our newest addition, KG.
We've collected almost everyone's lines now (Ansela, Pads and Plat, yes, we ARE looking at you), so we're looking for people to start drawing pictures for us!
Before you all start complaining that we've not given you any details, we've decided to be incredibly generous and share the entire script with you. We're looking for environments such as RCs and other rooms, and character sketches. There are plenty of details to be found on the PPC wiki about characters, too.
Movie script - due to the sheer length of it, we've split it into five documents. There are a wide variety of imags in each document, so feel free to read through and draw whatever catches your interest.
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddkcfxr651f6gc2hc9&hl=en - scenes 1-10

Ignore the highlights on some bits; they're for our convenience and have no bearing on what we're asking you to do.
Any artwork you do can be sent to either Trojie or myself (though if you send it to me I can't guarantee when it'll be looked at). You people who regularly comment on this subject should have our email addresses by now. If you don't, well...
