#1865732 Turning Fictional Characters into Pokemon

Posted by Solarix on 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?




#1865656 PC Build Help?

Posted by Solarix on 18 May 2015 - 04:00 AM

With either build I would start with a cheaper hard drive and spend more money on the video card or processor. Memory is generally very cheap, and I know that these days 500GB fills up fast but getting an additional drive when you've got more money is easy, just make sure the motherboard can support it.

 

And hey, even if you decide to start with 1TB, you should always consider adding an SSD later.
