Turning Fictional Characters into Pokemon

18 May 2015 - 01:15 PM

So this has been a hobby of mine for the past month or so. Topic title pretty much explains it: pick a fictional character and give them types, stats, abilities, and possible movesets as if they were a Pokemon. Part of the fun for me has been reconciling Pokemon's mechanics with the way the fictional character operates in their world. For example, I've been working on an evolutionary branch to best represent the progress of Guardians in the video game Destiny.

 

Spoiler

 

This has been a huge undertaking for me and has me thinking about the Pokemon metagame more critically than ever. Theoretically I want this evolutionary branch to be balanced so that it is the skill of the player that determines how well these Pokemon perform, not just a simple matter of outrunning and/or outhitting opponents. 

 

But I'm probably taking this too seriously. What sort of for-fun Pokemon would you make out of your favorite fictional characters?

Hello everyone! I'm Solarix, or Sol for short. I found these forums sort of by accident -- I was looking up stuff for Flight Rising and Google showed me your subforum -- and I've decided to join after lurking for a couple of days. I do have a Neopets account, though I only play the stock market and the odd game these days. But hey, you guys seem like a bunch of cool cats, so here's to hoping for a fun time!

 

And here are five facts about me for the newbie scavenger hunt:

 

  1. I have two pets, and while their feline appearances may fool you at first, rest assured that they are at least half goat, if not full-blown velociraptors. 
  2. I work 3rd shift at a factory and have more online European friends than American friends because of it.
  3. I once gave a speech for a fundraiser that received a standing ovation. Later in college I gave another speech that won best in class.
  4. I just hit 10million Neopoints last week :D
  5. I LOVE dragons with some combination of fire/caribbean/lemon/leaf/magenta colors and buy way too many of them ._.
