Create Your Own Adventure - Comic

If you want a trio:

Psyduck / Vulpix / Cherubi

I've hinted at the one that I favour the most ;)

Also I have never done a poll before... can I do more than one poll per thread? Like if I do a poll for the starter can I delete it when the voting ends and then create a new poll for the decisions after every page? Anyone have experience with this? Let me know! :) Thanks guys!

Unfortunately it's a no to all of your questions (except the last one).

Damn..... that sucks, and will complicate how this thing is going to work.... thanks for the input though!
 
Cubone sounds great. I think we can look at the anime in terms of what pokemon are "gritty". Cubone is an awesome idea because of the guy Ash meets on his way to the Indigo Plateau during the first season (Marowak actually looked sick and acted pretty badass). If not him, then I suggest Tangela, or Hoothoot. Spearow, Swinub, or Cacnea would be cool as well.

Mawile would also be intense because, after all, Mawile needs more love.
 
Feel free to put me on the Cubone bandwagon, it's a lovely bandwagon.

But a very, very lonely bandwagon :(

[Ssshhh of course it isn't an oxymoron!]
 
Wow! Lots of support for cubone! lol.

I think tonight I will compile a list of the most popular starters and we will do a vote by posts... I will come up with some official format for what I vote post should look like so it is easy for me to figure it out and then we will go from there. Since we can't do multiple polls on a thread then we will need some way to vote after each chapter/page anyway. Sound good?

Until then keep posting your nominations!
 
I like the idea of Cubone, but I think I like the idea of an angsty character with a super-cheery Pokemon even more, i.e. Togepi or something. Shinx is something cute that turns into something that looks evil, so I dunno. I have too many votes. :P
 
I'd like to see a college kid as the main character too. That or maybe a middle-aged guy. There's been too much 10-15 year old action going on in the anime and I want to see an actual young adult (or adult) being the main character.

Yeah I agree! Its always been annoying that it falls to a 10 year old to save the world.... and its even more disturbing that they allow them to travel alone across the country in the first place. Based on what people have said I think we have definitely decided on an older more realistic protagonist.

OH HEY! If you guys would be so kind as to give this thread some Luvdiscs so that more people will stop in and we can get even better community input! With something like this its the more the merrier!
 
For the starter, I always thought it would be funny if you got a Wooper, yet with Dynamic Punch. Then the rival would have Shroomish or something
 
I think I am calling these two points decided:

  • Will this be a Nuzlocke run with all the rules that that entails? (DECIDED: Only the fainting=death aspect of nuzlocke will be used)
  • Should this be on a 10 yr old or should this be a more gritty rendition of the world? (DECIDED: The protagonist will be an older 20 something man in a grittier world)

The response on these points have been pretty overwhelming so I figure its safe to draw a consensus on those. All we need to decide/discuss @ this point is who the starter will be!

If you guys have new nominations to add to the list then get them in tonight and tomorrow afternoon I will put up the final list for voting! Thanks everyone!
 
I'm gonna throw my full support behind Magby in hopes that it gets on the poll, though it seems there's no stopping Cubone at this point. Also, agreed 100% on the decisions regarding the story.

Hmmm.... interesting. I had not really thought about having one of the cutesy pokemon as the starter. Togepi, cleffa, igglybuff... would be interesting to have in a gritty world, lol.

If you want a cute starter, you can't beat Azurill. Turns into the beast that is known as Azumarill.

I JOIN IN THE CUBONE BANDWAGON.

Although a Meditite starter would be cool too.

Will there be a rival in this? Similar to the in-game ones where their starter beats yours?

If so, the rival's starter should be Azurill. That "beats" Cubone.

I am playing through Pokemon Pearl so the characters and story will be those of that version... though they will obviously be adapted to fit the grittier premise and as you guys change the course of the story.

So to answer your question... maybe? I have not played through the Pearl version in several years so I am not really sure how all the characters play out. We will cross that bridge when we get there I guess, lol.

If it's playing out like Pearl, then you'll have a rival who's starter "beats" yours and a random character who your starter "beats".

For the random character's starter, might I suggest a Shinx? Cubone has the advantage there.

Or we could use a Sentret simply for the lulz.

Well... lets just say that when we make the final decision on the starter we will talk about who that means the others should have, lol.
 
I vote Aron because it's like Shinx, but more badass in the end. The maturing of the story can then reflect in the maturing and eventual badasstrosity of Aron.
 
OFFICIAL VOTE FOR THE STARTER

Alright everyone! I think we have had some good input the last couple days and we are now ready to compile a list of all our suggestions and take a vote.

PLEASE READ BEFORE VOTING!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!

To limit confusion, and me having to sift through posts to figure out who people are voting for, I will be requiring everyone to follow a specific format for their votes to be considered.

Everyone's posts should look like this example below:

Studio534 said:
POKEMON'S NAME (All CAPS, Bolded and in Red)

Any justification you may want to add for your choice. I really like POKEMON'S NAME because... etc.
Click to expand...

To make this process as quick and simple as possible we will limit everyone to just ONE vote. Pick your favorite choice and stand behind it!


Ok... Now for the OFFICIAL LIST OF NOMINEES:

  • Aron - 2
  • Azurill
  • Cacnea
  • Cubone - 3
  • Eevee
  • Elekid
  • Growlithe - 2
  • Hippopotas
  • Magby
  • Mawile - 1
  • Psyduck
  • Ralts
  • Ryhorn - 1
  • Shinx - 1
  • Swinub
  • Togepi

I tried to include as many of the nominees as I could, but sticking to my rule of selecting only those that were either repeated or spoken out strongly for this is what we came up with. If I missed any that people feel strongly about just write them in on your ballot.

Thanks everyone! Voting will last for a couple days or until we seem to have a consensus. Feel free to campaign for your choice if you want.
 
I vote for Shinx!

The main protagonist could find it thinking, "oh god, this thing looks so weak" but catching it anyway since he couldn't find anything better. Then he'd end up reluctantly training it and having it evolve into total-badass electric lion. Just my thoughts. :P

Oh, the same could be applied to Ralts (at least if it was male and evolved into Gallade).
 
I LOVE Chocolate-kipp's mentality for the starter....I think applying that to any starter would be fantastic. .

My vote goes to Growlithe.

Cubone is a close second, but combined with chocolate-kipp's mood setting and my previously mentioned 'man's best friend' attitude of a Growlithe who just wants to make his disappointed owner happy, I think the stage could be set for some powerful storytelling. Therefore, I vote Growlithe.
 
Ok man it has got to be Cubone [bone]. I've just had an idea of brilliant humor from cynicism and it has the potential to be both badass, cute and depressed at the same time. It's more of a versatile character than you might expect!

I would be happy with any of these except Magby, Elekid and Togepi (and possibly Shinx.)
