Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Sorry the image is so small! Tumblr seems to have developed a sudden allergy to images over 1, or maybe 1.5 mb in size... which is most of my images, even after shrinking! (I draw on a monstrous 150 x 100 cm canvas)

Anyway here's some more of my notes!

The 'Stage 1' and 'Stage 2' KO idea in the bottom right is an idea I have to explain pokemon battling KO states, and reconcile that with that thing you see happening in PMD cutscenes where a defeated opponents is incapacitated, and can talk and weakly move, but not fight back anymore. The fact that a pokemon can still weakly move in a stage 1 KO state, is why exploration teams are able to get of mystery dungeons without permanent injury even if the whole team is KO'd - they are still able to move just enough to use the explorer badge on themselves or each other!

PMD2 Darkrai in the story I'm working on, has been in this state, including stage 2, many times, and is unusually mobile at a stage 1 KO. Repeated torment has driven his pain tolerance quite high, as it has his motivation to get up and power through it even it means hurting himself to do so. That's how he's able to get up and summon the dimensional hole in Dark Crater, despite him otherwise being at a stage 1 KO state!

I talk more about the psuedofeather integument idea here, as well as a bunch of my other Darkrai speculative biology ideas! I have more on the horrible 4 jawed face idea here.

ALSO I am seriously considering giving Cresselia Lati-twins arms... she already looks like she has them, just tucked flush to her body and not yet seen unfolded. AND the both of them have a similar body shape and size, being perpetually volant pokemon with feathery integument, seemingly no feet, and a long neck! AND psychic type!

ps attack me I have characters that match the team themes

There's a moment in the anime episode A Midsummer Night's Light! where the girls find a Cresselia wounded in a forest and you think that it's going to be like the Koraidon/Miraidon sandwich scene in SV but no. Instead, Cresselia tries to kill them
