Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!

[raspberrydrink]

Have you ever wondered what life in the world of Pokémon is like? Well, wonder no more, because in this world? You're the Pokémon.




Rules:

-Post your character's name and their canon in the subject line.

-Though in the games you are restricted to certain Pokémon (and their first forms only) to start, in this meme you can be any Pokémon you choose. Make sure you mention what Pokemon they are in your top level, and feel free to elaborate on their appearance or even occupation if you choose!

-This meme takes place majorly in the areas featured in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, but I'm also including features and locations from previous games as well! (I miss Kangaskhan Storage okay don't look at me).

-In Gates to Infinity, a special feature of your Pokémon Paradise is the inclusion of traveling sales 'mon! These Pokemon run their own businesses and provide services that can be useful to adventurers. Feel free to have your character as a proprietor of their own shop or business- Post Town could use more variety, after all!

-Tag around!

-HAVE FUN \o/

Starting prompts

1) Welcome to the World of Pokémon!: You've just woken up and your head aches...you're in the forest somewhere, washed up at the beach, or maybe someone's brought you to their home after finding you comatose somewhere. When you finally come to, you notice you're feeling very oddly, and should you decide to find a puddle or a mirror to check yourself...well, surprise! You're a Pokémon now! ....what? What do you mean you used to be human?

2) Exploring the town: Whether you're non-native or you've lived here all your life, there's plenty in Post Town to check out. Maybe you need to stock up on supplies for at the Kecleon's shop or exchange some of your hard-earned gold for items and other goodies at Cofagrigus' Glorious Gold! Perhaps you found some mysterious chests you'd like Rampardos to break open for you? And once you're done there, you can store your spare items at Kangaskhan Storage for safe keeping, or your money at Persian's Bank. There's also Swanna's Inn and Café for you and your partners to visit after a long day of adventuring.

3) On a mission: Azumarill is up to her ears in requests for help today! Whether it's a Pokemon trapped in a dungeon in need of rescue, a lost item that needs to be found, or a group of rogue Pokemon that need stopping, these Pokemon could use all the help they can get!

If you're having trouble coming up with a situation to play out, I've also come up with some starting scenario prompts to choose from!

Scenario Prompts:

1) Stargazing: You and your partner have been through a lot. It's been a long, hard week of adventuring, and this evening you both finally have the chance to rest from it all. According to Umbreon and Espeon, there's going to be a meteor shower tonight, one that occurs only once every one hundred years. It just so happens that your base is located in the perfect spot to watch them, so why not take advantage of the opportunity?

2) The Pecha Festival: Post Town holds an annual festival that celebrates the Pecha Berry, a versatile and extremely sweet fruit that not only cures poisoning, but is very healthy and delicious! Ms. Swanna has prepared dozens of dishes featuring this berry that will be sold throughout the town, and you might notice that just everyone has decorated their shops in some fashion for the festivities. The Request Boards are closed today (barring emergencies, of course) so kick back and have some fun!

3) Critical Hit!: You and your partner have been adventuring, and something's gone really bad in a hurry. Maybe you two have been cornered by some tough Pokemon you can't get past, or one of you has been seriously injured. Either way, things are looking dire, and you need to get out of there. Fast.

4) I don't want to say goodbye: Your partner used to be human, but now their time in this world is up. They're leaving, and there's nothing that either of you can do about it. You have just a short while before they disappear, so make it count.

5) Make your own!: Come up with your own scenario!

Prompts thanks to Chi!

Comments

Xander | Fire Emblem

[kingshaming]

[Xander is a local pokemon, a fully evolved Haxorus that lives in town. A former Adventurer and mentor to younger pokemon. He very well might be the one looking after any 'humans' that appear, giving them shelter and training for dungeons]

guzma | pokemon sun and moon/ultra sun and ultra moon

[acherontiastyx]

[well. as humans turned pokemon usually show up as the unevolved form... Guzma is a goddamn Wimpod with shades.

this is his life now I guess.]

tarrlok | avatar: legend of korra

[bloodisthicker]

[one minute you're a well respected councilman doing questionably ethical councilman things

the next you're a goddamn Alolan Vulpix in the middle of nowhere.]

Sayaka Maizono | Dangan Ronpa

[destage]

[Sayaka is a rather chatty Brionne who helps out in Swanna's Inn and Cafe from time to time; she's apparently a human who originally worked in a guild, but she seems to be far more content helping other adventurers out rather than going out on her own nowadays. She's more than happy to help anyone get settled in, though!]

Korekiyo Shingugi | DRV3

[justpure]

[Somehow, Kiyo has become a Yamask and found himself in a strange land. He's making the most of his situation by studying the culture of a world ruled by pokemon and nothing more.]

Karamatsu Matsuno | Osomatsu-san

[karappo]

[Karamatsu is a human-turned-Squirtle (like the Squirtle Squad Squirtle, he's got sunglasses and everything) who doesn't take his new predicament as something too weird, given the weird things that happen to him all the time. He brags about wanting to become an explorer and helping others, but he never actually works or does anything. Probably due to the fact he can't get anyone to want to team up with him...]

Toby Tenma | Astro Boy (2009)

[madeready]

[Not a human turned pokemon, but a robot, Toby has become a Rotom that yearns for a permanent body. He feels out of place as a cluster of energy, and he seeks objects to live in...though unfortunately, there are not very many electronics in this world, if any exist at all. He doesn't let it get him down too much, using his newfound abilities to help Pokemon as a one-man rescue team who has become rather infameous for his seemingly endless energy. The only form of payment he asks for is word of mouth, having Pokemon spread the word that he wants someone to build a body for him someday...he will also take parts if that's something they happen to have, though it's rare.]

Squid Girl | ...guess

[invaderswim]

[Nobody really knows if she was a human to begin with or not, but the Inkay who came into town one day insists she's part of an otherworldly invasion force whom everyone must obey! ...She's not really good at the invading part and has mostly become known as the town nuisance or just that weird kid who will still help you out even as she talks about world domination.]
