Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Titan Horde

Lately I’ve been thinking about ideas for a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game featuring Pokemon from Gens 7-9, since the newest original game was Super back in the Gen 6 days. Here’s the main ideas I’ve got so far.

Starter Set:

Pikachu

Alolan Sandshrew

Galarian Ponyta

Cyndaquil

Paldean Wooper

Teddiursa

Oshawott

Goomy

Rowlet

Litten

Popplio

Rockruff

Grookey

Scorbunny

Sobble

Clobbopus

Sprigatito

Fuecoco

Quaxly

Tinkatink

Pikachu, Goomy, and the Hisui starters have access to both evolutions, Teddiursa also has access to Ursaluna here. I wanted a balance between the regions, and gave myself a limit of 20 like Super. Pikachu and the starters from these gens were basically required, so I used the remaining slots for variants and new Pokemon. Tried to go for some variety in the types available but I’m also very biased with some picks.

Story/Lore:

Idea for the main antagonist is a Type: Null/Silvally (I still can’t decide), locked away by its creators and having reawakened in the present long after humans have mostly disappeared from the world. The Regis also get involved somehow, partially because I think they’re cool. The other reason is because as far as I know, there’s no piece of Pokemon media where the Regis are the main focus, when they do show up they’re always some side thing and another Pokemon is the star. We got two new Regis in the SwSh DLC so they count as Gens 7-9.

The big idea I have is looking at how humans have impacted the PMD world, since we know they do exist here. I can buy some of the ruins being made by Pokemon, but places like the Decrepit Lab and Power Plant friend areas in Rescue Team are clearly man made. And humans aren’t some long gone species, they’re still around when the games take place. When your character tells other Pokemon that they’re human, none of them ever go “What’s a human?”, showing that they know what a human is. The protagonist in the Explorers games is also a human from the future, not isekai’d from some other world like the others. If humans didn’t exist at all by this point, they wouldn’t exist. Humans might only exist in small numbers in isolated areas, but we know for sure that they aren’t extinct.

Main idea for the partner is that they’re very interested in history/mythology, and they want to become an explorer to investigate the many ruins on the continent. They’re not as interested in helping people, but still do it because they aren’t completely heartless and they’ve got bills to pay. Might be a bit of a tough decision though if they have to pass up a once in a lifetime research opportunity to save someone.

For the hero, I’ve got two ideas. The first is that they’re a human from the past who got reincarnated as a Pokemon in the present, the second is that they’re a modern human living in the PMD world who got turned into a Pokemon somehow. Heart of gold, helps make sure their partner makes the right decisions. Not book smart but they’re good at solving puzzles.

Nintendo of America made some tweets about the new characters in XDE. Here's the one about Liesel (the Hraesvelg pilot).

No pronouns specified for them here, I'm willing to bet that Liesel's nonbinary. Tweets about Juniper and A from 3 never used pronouns for them, and we ended up with they/them Juniper and no pronouns "Ontos was meant to stand somewhere between" A. And posts about other characters do use gendered pronouns (like Neilnail below), it's not like they avoid pronouns for everyone.

A Semi-Formal Xenoblade 3 OC Post

May as well organize the OC lore from the other day into one post, and add some new stuff.

THE BASICS:

Name/Title: Shockwave Thea (name might change, title’s good though)

Gender: Female

Age: 7th term (16)

Race: Blade (lightning element)

Affiliations: Colony Delta, Agnus

BACKSTORY AND RELATED STUFF:

Thea’s generally a pretty nice person, always looking out for the others in Colony Delta. Doesn’t take care of herself enough since she’s busy worrying about the others. She refuses to let anyone from Delta be hurt, and does her best to prevent enemies from attacking in the first place. With Cammuravi dead, she became the commander of Colony Delta (don’t ask me where it is I have no idea), wanting to continue his legacy as a leader of honorable warriors. She and the others in Delta respect Ethel despite her being a Kevesi commander after she spared him in their first battle.

If she was a Hero, her quest would involve the party fighting the members of Colony Delta, believing they were the ones who killed Cammuravi. Her Ascension quest would involve the current incarnation of Cammuravi reuniting with the people of Delta (also maybe meeting Ethel, either way Thea is still the adopted Ethelravi kid).

CLASS DETAILS:

Class: Bastion/Bastion Warrior (2nd is a Xenoblade X class name and we need all the rep we can get, but I think just Bastion sounds better)

Weapon: It’ll either be a halberd (similar to Cammuravi’s lance but still distinct), a gatling gun (one of the Bastion Warrior’s weapons in X), or a flail (I just think it’s neat).

Role/Nationality: Agnian Defender

Specializes in preventing enemies from attacking. Has a Launch art and can inflict Accuracy Down, don’t think I can do much more than that without making her broken.

I’ll add art and skill names after I settle on a weapon, I don’t know enough to make effects/descriptions for them though.

APPEARANCE:

This picrew is good enough for the face/general vibes, don’t think there’s any character creator that could let me get a fitting outfit for her. Making her look like the lightning Blade that she is would also be a pain since I don’t think there’s any where I could add stuff like a core crystal, ether lines, or other stuff to fit the theme.
