Pokeshipping Week 2018–Day 6: Role Reversal
Part 01: „Meet the Cast“
I’m welcoming you all to Pokeshipping Week 2018!
This year I escalated completely, and I want to introduce you 33 pages in 13 parts, where you can watch Misty having her own adventure with her starter Eevee. This is a tribute to the upcoming Pokémon Games “Pokémon - Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee”.
Join us on a Pokémon journey you’ve never seen like this before (or let’s say a journey where I’ve hidden many Easter Eggs of the original showmixed with the game universe…), where you’ll see an eagerly, stubborn, none-stoppable Misty becoming the very best of them all, a hysterical, overprotecting Ash, who has a big fear on Ghost Type Pokémon, and a friendly, helpful big-brother-type Gary, joining his best buddies on Misty’s journey.For more information to each character, just click on their single picture.
I’m wishing you lots of fun. ♥
Note: Once every part of this story is online on tumblr, I’ll add a collective entry, so you don’t have to search for every part to that fancomic on your TL. Later, I’ll reblog this post and put the links together. I’m sorry for being so complicated. :’D

Revisions: Sandshrew, Sandslash, and the Nido Family
#027-028 Sandshrew and Sandslash
#029-031 Nidoran♀ , Nidorina, and Nidoqueen
#032-034Nidoran♂, Nidorino, and Nidoking
I’m finally working on this project again! Progress will continue to be sporadic due to a high volume of real-life responsibilities, but I hope that this progress report will be a better sign that I still care than occasionally answered asks. Revision consists not just of proofreading, but also a lotof running numbers. The most important part of the revision process is masking sure that every modifier, damage amount, armor class, hit point total, saving throw, and challenge rating is properly calculated. Unfortunately, it’s very repetitive, very time-intensive, and not very exciting, but occasionally it gives me the opportunity to see the system in action in its purest form.
For this progress report, I have the avatar of this blog—Nidoking—as well as its juvenile forms and its female counterpart. Sandshrew and Sandslash are also here because otherwise it’d be weird to have their art on these pages but no their stat blocks. There wasn’t so intensive of a revision process for these Pokemon as there was for the starter Pokemon; all of these stat blocks were primarily about readability and Challenge Rating correction. We also have art of Nidoking and Nidoqueen, courtesy of and with permission from tumblr user Diogonen!
Sometimes when I think of a novel mechanic for the D&D system, such as Sandshrew and Sandslash’s Rollout dealing more damage over successive hits, I try to write it as clearly as I can. That’s the hardest part about writing rules: you need to be even more clear than you think you are, because only you truly know what you mean. In this case, I veered too far into being so clear that I became excessively verbose instead. Why was Rollout a special Slash attack instead of its own attack? The best lesson I have learned over the course of writing this blog is when to stop trying to reference other mechanics and moves and just condense things into themselves sometimes. However, just like with the Squirtle family, the Tortle Package came out between the publication of the original stat block and now, so I could revise Defense Curl to act like the official action, Shell Defense.
As for the Nidoran family, the job was about Challenge Rating correction. I liked the idea of having Nidoking and Nidoqueen as solid mid-level monsters; they each have a Challenge Rating of 10 and it’s desirable that they be fought together. However, after crunching the numbers, Nidoqueen was far more powerful than I had originally thought. Despite being the more “defensive” monster, she was on par with Nidoking’s damage output with none of the drawbacks. There’s no exciting process here, but after pushing and pulling to find a new balance, I was able to bring her and Nidoking down to a more appropriate level of power by tweaking their defensive stats. I find myself lowering hit points more often than anything else in my revision process. Have you ever heard the expression “the brightest candle burns the shortest?” My design philosophy gradually gravitated towards that axiom. I prefer monsters whose encounters will be intense and short over monsters whose encounters will be drawn-out and long…but of course, each has its place.
I also removed Nidoking and Nidoqueen’s vulnerability to cold damage and immunity to lightning damage. My adherence to the type chart is something that may seem arbitrary at first glance, but ultimately it comes down to the immediate visual nature of the Pokemon. Just looking at a Nidoking or Nidoqueen, would you be able to tell that it would be vulnerable to cold or immune to lightning? Unlike creatures whose life is represented by a flame on its tail or monsters literally made of non-conductive earth, Nidoking and Nidoqueen possess no cues. I don’t design these creatures with the assumption that they will be treated as Pokemon in-game, or that all players will recognize them as such and use Pokemon logic against them, so I removed those non-obvious type effectivenesses. Poison is a little different, as many creatures are non-obviously poisonous, but the fact that it has poison attacks means that being susceptible to poison itself would be weird.

Anthro Nidorino Sleepin’
The poison type dude. A common theme is that the covers seem to be pulled off. Did they take them off themselves, or has someone else done it? I dunno, I’m still figuring it out myself.

Was playing around with pokemon fusions and thought this was a cool idea so here’s a quick nidorino and eevee fusion. :)

March of Robots 13 - Drill - Nidorino
Switching over to a more cyberpunk-like feel. Kind of experimenting with these.
I’m also having to make up some days this week, so expect a rush of posts today.
