Hi Internet,
Thanks for sending the invite.
I'd love to audition as Gohan for Episode 5's "Page 5", at 5:55, where I will say the catchphrase! I'm not asking for much, maybe 2 million dollars, but this could be the breakout role I need to become the lead of the inevitable spinoff show this series will certainly be able to make! (don't worry, the main artist will get burned out and then kill themself before we get there but I'm sure someone else can take the reins!)
Yours truely,
BestDatrix! (<=== you'll have to use your imagination for the heart instead of the dot on the "i" of Datrix.)
 
we should start with character designs i think. get like ten or so and then work out who in that pool should be the main characters and who should be support and who should be one episode side characters that fans will latch onto and call for more appearances of.

it doesn't matter if the designs don't match each other in theming or style. it worked for gumball!

i'll design a character later when i feel up to it

this sounds like a great idea. I'll write you down as head of character design
 
I suggest an educative comic.

It is all too common for people to say “Starter Pokemon” to refer to the first Pokémon™ players get on their adventure in some of the mainline games. However, this is not the Nintendo® approved way of referring to these Pokémon™. This practice therefore is unacceptable. The Nintendo® approved term —and thus the only term that's correct— is “First Partner Pokémon™”.

This community comic can serve to inform people of how they are to refer to First Partner Pokémon™. That way we can, instead of only entertaining people, also educate people and make the world more Nintendo® approved.

I have got an idea for the cartoon:
an anthology series for adults.
in each episode some character finds a coin, the coin has a demon on one side and an angel to the other side.
the character flips it.
depending on the result of the coinflip either their demon on their angel or their shoulder becomes stronger and smarter, then the coin dissapears and the rest of the episode shows their how their life changes by making new better or worse choices.

some examples of episodes would be "a man who struggles with relationships get an angel-coinflip and then he makes decisions that make him less toxic"
"someone gets the demon coinflip and becomes more manipulative"
"someone ends up addicted to drugs/gambling/alcohol"
"someone deals with their suicidal thoughts"

this idea is veeeeery losely inspired by the anime the laughing salesman.

also I can change my voice but I have no experience with voice acting or regular acting. I haven't taken acting lessons either.

Workshopping a pilot episode where we finally get sued by Gamefreak, and Smogoff is tasked with creating a court-certified religion from Pokemon IP elements so that we can keep Showdown operating on the grounds of religious freedom.
Starting from grassroots such as doorknocking, and wondertrading Pokemon with inspiring Holy Messages and phising links as Nicknames, we eventually manage to outnumber and conquer a small bible belt city, Installing an Arceus Statue on their local LifeChurch. I've got a tentative voice cameo from Neil DeGrasse Tyson in the script (He Has been hired by Nintendo to disprove the metaphyiscal nature of the Pokeitheon with Science)

this sounds great this type of material is why ive made you showrunner. i love you you are my treasure
 
i think we should have the creator write in an incongruously personal, nuanced and sincere portrayal of their own lived experience into the finale of this show, and have it completely go over the audience's heads because we've been fostering an audience of 15 year olds in the years leading up to the finale by way of our wacky humor, eccentric visual flair, and cynical-but-loveable characters.
