Say this is a video game. If you defeated the above avatar, what would they leave behind?
Example, with Cube-tan:
You Got: Trouble Cube
A strange Rubix-like cube with Cyan, Purple, and Reddish Pink faces. You can't, for the life of you, figure out how to solve it.

In a colossal underground city in-between the words lies a trolley, not unlike those seen in San Fransisco. Through the mall-like structure it goes, picking up passengers from shops, homes, apartment complexes, and portals along the way. You get on the trolley, only to find others waiting as well. You don't have very much time to talk to them. What do you say?

This is a free-to-join, open RP. Feel free to drop in an any time, as any character(s).

Many Pokémon challenge runners have stood up to the test of completing an entire game using only a single weak and unevolved Pokémon. MahDryBread, Jrose11, Pokémon Challenges, you name it. So I figured, if it's that easy, why not try it myself? In this run, I'm seeing if I can beat Pokémon Sapphire with nothing but a single Slakoth—and no items in battle. Can I do it? Only one way to find out.

The reason I picked Slakoth is of course its Ability, Truant. If you don't know, a Pokémon with Truant will “loaf around” and not use a move every two turns. Despite Slakoth's base 60 Attack and Defense, which is surprisingly good for an unevolved Pokémon, Truant combined with its other stats being weak will make even the early game tough. It's an ability tailor-made just for Slakoth and its final evolution Slaking.

Which begs the question: why does Durant have it?

DAY 1

With my options and Trainer all set, I was ready to go. Also, #DownWithShiftMode.

After going through the usual motions, it was time to pick my starter. Now, MahDryBread always does this thing in his solo runs where he replaces a specific starter with his Pokémon to make sure the rival will have a type advantage over it.





Well, I'm not MahDryBread, so I picked Mudkip. It learns every required HM, but I would still need more HM Pokémon.



Fucking finally.





Unfortunately, both the first Trainer battle on Route 102 and the first Brendan fight were completely unavoidable and caused Mudkip to gain some experience. Hopefully this is where it stays. I managed to avoid all other Trainers on my way to Petalburg.



Of course my dad, with his 2 Slaking, was fully supportive of my goal.



At last I arrived at Petalburg Woods. Along with catching 2 more HM Pokémon, all I had to do was wait for the magical moment to arrive.





Meet Sloth Geller, the Pokémon that will conquer Hoenn or loaf around trying.



And loaf around trying.

She's got a Lax nature, which is + Defense and - Sp. Def. Could be better . . . but could be worse.



My HM Pokémon were stored in the Box for later.



I fainted for the first time against the Lass on Route 102, as Zigzagoon are the single most annoying Pokémon for Slakoth to deal with, as they're really fast and can lower her Attack with Growl. And she had two of them. So I reset, focusing on the wild Pokémon instead before moving to Trainers. Fortunately, Scratch is 100% accurate and has STAB.





There was surprisingly good luck with crits while grinding.



Slakoth fainted again against a Taillow on 104 the same level as her. Even his Seedot was a pain because of Bide.



Oh yeah, this asshole.



Ladies and gentlemen, the LOAF-OFF! [airhorns]

I demolished the 6-Wurmple Bug Catcher and the Team Aqua Grunt in the woods and went to battle the Trainers on the second half of Route 104, wherein I had not as much trouble as before due to Slakoth's higher level. One Trainer did give me problems, though.



This Shroomish had Effect Spore, which put me to sleep *twice* on the first attempt, which caused me to faint and restart. (At this point, I'm not keeping track of faints anymore.) Second attempt, she paralyzed me, which is scary when combined with Truant. But Slakoth stood up against the odds, ate her Oran Berry, and attacked on every turn she could, winning the fight.



What is it with kids and criticizing me in these games? First that boy in Dragon Quest XI who called me “horrible” for not getting his cat off of a rooftop, and now you.



So now I'm at Rustboro and Slakoth is at Lv. 12. She learns Slack Off next level, which could be essential, but there's no way I'm beating Roxanne at this level. Signing off for now.

Look, why are the juiceboxes on fire again?

Talk about the Void RP!

modedit: also here's the TCRPWiki page

Because why not discuss all of our favourite fanworks? If you have something you'd like to reccomend, advertise your own fanworks, or talk about the tropes and other prevalent things in the genre, go ahead and post here! Just remember to keep it clean and to not link to explicit fanworks.

To start discussion, for all of you Yu-Gi-Oh! fans, I have discovered "A Delectable Collection of Scrumptious Tales", a small collection of fanworks relating to the Madolche card archetype that I have really enjoyed.

...because yes.

I'll be darned and delighted if there's posts other than from me in here :p but I really wanted to share this.

Purpose of the thread: Discussion or chatting about the animated creations of BoBoiBoy, Mechamato and any other such works or projects related to Animonsta Studios.
What are these, you ask? 
Animonsta Studios Sdn. Bhd. (or Animonsta for short) is a Malaysian animation company that produces creative content for the Malaysian and international market. (courtesy to the wikipedia page for this description)

I'll cut to the chase on what I wanted to share, as most of what's needed to know in summary to the shows can be viewed via that wikipedia link above.
But have this summary anyway, BoBoiBoy is Monsta's first product, an animated series revolving around a group of superpowered kids fighting aliens. It would evolve into something more, with them eventually bringing the fight to the aliens, and the future looks bright for this story, and might I say, so does the past. Mechamato is the next upcoming story, of BoBoiBoy's father as a child, who also befriended an intergalactic robot and fought off aliens and still does in BoBoiBoy's lifetime, but BBB's parents were absent for the whole series. For all this time, I thought the son was blissfully unaware of his father's occupation and intergalactic hero identity, until now.


The 10th anniversary of BoBoiBoy as a whole was on 13th March 2021
I didn't consider too much of it. This year was going to be study-ridden for me so my updatability on media was limited and I didn't mind. I knew it was the 10th anniversary but the only BoBoiBoy-related thing I did around then was answer an Ask The Tropers query on TV Tropes regarding the poor grammar in the character page for BoBoiBoy on the site, I found the query purely out of chance and I'd say that character page is now 90% polished.

Today I intended to open YouTube in the background and this popped up on the recommended:

I heard about an extended version of the first episode upcoming on the Fanimonsta Discord server and I ENTIRELY FORGOT ABOUT IT.
I can see why this would pop in the recommended without being signed in, it made more than 6 million views in 3-4 days.


In terms of sentiment, this video did not disappoint. It extends the very first episode of BoBoiBoy that was released on 13th March 2011, with a new prologue, epilogue and remake of the credits, visuals and song-wise, that sent me into somewhat nostalgia overdrive. This extension shows that BoBoiBoy was supposedly aware of his father's job, if not most definitely Mechabot. Tok Aba too is also aware of Power Spheras! I gotta update that certain Wild Mass Guess someone made on the BBB TVT page regarding that lmao.

The description reads: "A special for the 10th anniversary of BoBoiBoy, MONSTA presents EPISODE 1 EXTENDED VERSION for all the loyal supporters from the start." 

It may not be the best series in the world but I'm nevertheless super glad to have been with this story from the start. So many fun memories and emotions. I can't wait to see what the future brings, especially with Mechamato's first installment being a release of a full-fledged movie by the end of this year.

Here's a happy throwback and look towards the future. Terbaik! 👍
