Deep Cave Monster #10: Selastius

Element - Toxic Diet - Carnivore Drops - Sela Fin

The muscles that connect to its jaw are highly elastic. By ejecting its jaws from its mouth, it can latch onto a target from 3 meters away, and pull itself in. It uses this ability to travel to different locations easily, and when it wants to detach, it simply twists its body, tearing off a small chunk of flesh - which it eats - and flees.

Well, I've stalled long enough.

New monster next Monday, and subsequently, all old monsters will be reposted with the new layout once all 8 new mons have been posted!

Wow, I do so love it when Real Life Events(derogatory) completely kill my drive to play games. Anyway...

I finally went ahead and beat the main game yesterday, was a pretty nice challenge, though I must admit the choice of types in this elite 4 is... Questionable for the region.

So I’ve been trying to come up with a team for a playthrough of Pokemon Emerald for an editing project I’ve had on the backburner - Both to work on my editing skills and my skills for writing multiple characters. Just one problem though - I don’t want to use all the standard pokemon people tend to use. Y’know, Gardevoir, Swellow, Salamence, those sorts of mons. I want to use ones that are overlooked or underrated. But thanks to my personal tastes when building a team, I have gone through multiple team layouts and found none I was satisfied with.

Pokemon I’m interested in using straight up aren’t in emerald, the timing to get certain pokemon is inconvenient, I don’t want to use two mons from the same route, I don’t want type overlap, just generally annoying things like that, and that’s not even getting into how I have to develop personalities for each mon.

Just want this playthrough to be more interesting, really.

I’ve considered mons like Claydol, Crawdaunt, Cacturne, Seviper, Lanturn, Xatu, Girafarig, a bunch that I never see anyone recommend or use. Hopefully I can figure this out soon.

Got back from a little vacation. Ate a bunch of new things. Rode streetcars a bunch, made my train friend jealous, I think. Pleasantly surprised by the quantity of reptiles there. Look at this anole.

Also three flights in one day is TOO MANY.

The last time I said anything about the stats update was november, and while it's not quite done yet, it is VERY close. Should probably say any stats displayed in these would be subject to change, and also I would probably try and put together something to explain what each stat means before I start posting the mons. Speaking of mons, there are 5 new ones, potentially 7, if I can nail down the design of the one I'm working on now.

My cat, my beast, my precious little creature, just looked me in the eyes, gave this big ol' yawn, and immediately chose violence, mauling my arm.

She has gone right back to peacefully and happily napping beside me.

Cats.

Me? Getting distracted by another project I know I don't have the capability to commit to? No, you must be mistaken!

*Shoves all 8 active projects in my brain under the bed*

I love that my friend tolerates me screaming in his dms at 2 in the morning about the worst, most bad faith essay vid I've ever had the misfortune of being witness to, and even bothers to jump in with his own little jabs at times too, when he could just put me on mute and let me rant at him for an hour straight.

My playthrough of the Indigo Disk has been effectively one giant 'girls night out'. All of my chosen team were female (except flutter mane but close enough). The additional party member picked up - A Typholsion - was male, but he is very outnumbered by powerful women.

Team consists of: Glacizilla(Baxcalibur, big gun no. 1), Malissa(Tinkaton, mostly a reserve, but she's seen some use), Ogerpon(For obvious reasons), Laura(Meinshao, proven to be very useful for kicking and slapping), Blight(Flutter Mane, big gun no.2, also a shiny I happened to find before the DLC dropped) and Prominence(Typhlosion, mostly there to buff up Glaci, as a result gets dropped in one shot often)

Somehow all my guppies are a similar shade of blue... Except Rocketman, who makes up for it by just being chaos incarnate.

My head be hurting. I do indeed have the headache. Yet here I am still looking at my screen because I had a massive nostalgia blast for that one old shopkeeper game I played years and years ago, and am trying to fuse idea concepts together into something cohesive so that I may hopefully code a functioning game in something other than rpg maker for once.

#text post #late night dilemmas #It feels like someone turned my brain inside out and is bashing it against a fence post #It's been like this all day #The idea was a game where you play as a monster shop keeper #Like you sell monsters and monster related items #It's not a new concept but I thought it was neat

Progress on the stats update for my mon layout is going well. I've got backgrounds drawn for 5/8 habitats(as wandering mons just reuse backgrounds), am working on defining the stats for my monsters, and, best of all, I have three new monsters for when I'm done with this update.

Here's a preview of what the sheets look like:

Variant forms were cut down to 2, I'm properly introducing field moves, and Item drops are added too!

Love how my friends spammed me over discord, basically said "Come with us, you have no choice" and took me to buy Super Mario RPG, within the span of 5 minutes.

Anyway my night was pretty fun.

Should probably say that I do have two monster designs finished, but I'm also doing a large restructuring of how my mons work, as I'm lowering the variants down from 3 to 2. Also wanting to display stats for these guys, so I'm fiddling with my layout a substantial amount.

#text post #monster #I am working on mon stuff! It's just taking a little while!

[arandomapocalypsedweller]

I'm thinking once we get into November I'll give Scarlet another playthrough. I owe Quaxly an apology for ditching it last second because I heard people bashing its evolution, going with Sprigatito instead. But also I want to make a proper, planned out team this time, since for some reason I only ended up with 5 mons on my team.

#pokémon #pokemon scarlet and violet #text post #I've been keeping track of my first teams through the years #I'll post them later at some point #Though I don't remember my gens 4 5 and 5.2 teams #It's been too long for those ones

[arandomapocalypsedweller]

So I got sick for a while, though I'm almost fully recovered now, and compound that with issues trying to design this monster, uhhhhhhhh

Yeah I probably won't be posting anything for another while longer? Sorta taking a break, haven't been in the creative mindscape, and I haven't spent time gaming with friends in a while, so I kinda want to.
