Imperative follow-up question, the fate of the world rests on it: if Frisk, Chara, and Lilac were to end up in PMD’s world, which Pokemon would they become?

THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION...

I kinda feel like Sneasel or Scrafty suits Frisk? Chara... hmmm. Phantump would be kinda funny and appropriate. xD Or Absol? Lilac... hmm. I feel like some kinda psychic type would fit.

Three Year Anniversary:

Hello everyone! Today is the three year anniversary of Tales of Underground. Despite the lack of updates since last year, I swear that this comic is not dead. In fact, the next part is very nearly complete and will be releasing in the next 24 hours!

Here’s a sneak peek of Part 8: Team Rogues:

In other news, I recently found out that there exists a full Chinese translation of this comic: https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv10006011

Honestly, I am astounded that people enjoy this comic enough to have translated it. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Chinese, so I’m not sure how to credit the person who translated it beyond linking to their profile, which is here: https://space.bilibili.com/289938521

From the looks of it, they do a lot of translations of Undertale AU content and I sincerely appreciate all that they do. I have the utmost respect for people who take their time to translate things for free.

Anyway, that’s all for now. For real this time, 2023 will bring much more of this comic. But for now, come back tomorrow to see Part 8.

Happy April First! No April Fools content, but here’s a song that would have played in the previous April Fools comic - found here: https://imgur.com/a/xqULTFD Enjoy! :)

Two Year Anniversary Announcement

In ten hours from the time of this post it will be exactly the two year anniversary of the release of the first part of PMD: TOU. To celebrate - I’ve finally completed Part 7! It will be released in ten hours from the time of this post!

Here’s a sneak peak:

[pmd-tales-of-undergrounds]

So the premise of Undertale is that monsters were sealed underground after losing a war to humanity. This is the same in this AU, but it is Pokémon, rather than monsters who are trapped Underground. The actual mechanics by which they were trapped is different but it’s the same premise.

The story follows a human who has found themselves in the Underground, like Undertale. However, I have followed the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon formula, so the protagonist is a human who has turned into a Pokémon and has lost their memories. The story remains consistent with Undertale in terms of the characters met in each area but things like the existence of Mystery Dungeons and Pokémon mechanics have changed the world from that of Undertale, so the story is impacted by taking place in a different world.

I’m not sure how clear of an explanation that was and I don’t want to go too into detail to avoid spoilers but I hope that makes sense.

Why hallo there,

i am new to this blog and i gotta say, that this is quite a interesting idea and concept,

But I would like to ask:

How did this idea come about? And in what way, does this Crossover AU utilize ideas from both Undertale and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon to make it stand out from the titles that inspired it?

Also, i would like to mention that i am interested in both titles, so i would like to know what to expect and how different I should expect this to be in comparison to both of the said titles?

The idea for this came about after replaying Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky and wondering how I could combine the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series with Undertale.

This comic is mostly based on the story of Undertale - featuring its characters and general premise - but with mechanics more based on the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. All the monsters from Undertale are now Pokémon and Mystery Dungeons now exist in the Underground. The original areas from Undertale have been changed to be larger and more expansive so that I can fit Mystery Dungeons into this world. Similarly, I’ve added in the mechanic of having two main characters from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: the hero and the partner, both to better fit that series and to enable more character interactions and exploration. 

The comic is designed to be accessible to fans of only one of the series, or neither at all, but knowledge of the series will make it more understandable, as well as knowledge of Deltarune, as this comic references that too.

In terms of the similarities and differences between this comic and Undertale: the story and general premise of a race being trapped underground by humanity is the same, as are most characters and the general theming of each area. The bullet hell type battles from Undertale are also kept. However, the story has changed to account for the existence of Mystery Dungeons and the mechanics of Pokémon, as well as some smaller changes to better distinguish the story from Undertale. The mechanic of human SOULs’ strength is also retained. The overall plot will be similar to Undertale’s, but not the same.

In terms of the similarities and differences between this comic and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: the mechanics of Mystery Dungeons, sprawling, ever-changing, multi-floored labyrinths that you have to navigate are kept, as is the idea of an Exploration Guild to explore and rescue Pokémon from these Mystery Dungeons. The basic mechanics of Pokémon are also kept. The story is not related to any Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, however.

The actual visual elements are largely taken from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, with some custom sprites being made by me for Pokémon that were introduced after the series moved to 3D.

The music is based on both series, featuring motifs from Undertale, Deltarune, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and the mainline Pokémon games.

Overall I recommend both series, as they are probably my two favourite video game series, but this comic should be both understandable without knowledge of them, and distinct from them.

Secret Pages

Though progress on the comic is coming along, it has been delayed due to a variety of factors. So, now for some new content for the first time in over a year. Inspired mostly by Inverted Fate, though nowhere near as sophisticated, I have added some secret pages that contain more lore and backstory for the AU. At present there are three, though more may come later. If anyone has any suggestions for backstory that they’d be interested in knowing, feel free to suggest it, and it may become a secret page.

To access the secret pages, enter https://pmd-tales-of-undergrounds.tumblr.com/codeword. There should be no spaces, underscores, or punctuation in the codeword. Capitalisation doesn’t matter.

Here are the hints for the secret pages:

Hint 1: empty (6 letters) Hint 2: a popular concept in fandom communities (2 letters) Hint 3: a discovery (10 letters)

Enjoy!

Have you considered doing a cool cover for this comic as a publicity stunt?

I mean, I could, but the comic hasn’t updated in almost a year, so I’d ideally like to wait until I have some form of content to put out. Also I don’t think my art is good enough for it to look cool.

[pmd-tales-of-undergrounds]

This still alive?

Technically, I suppose. Mostly due to a lack of motivation to do anything, this has been on extended hiatus for a while. I am working on this right now though. I suppose as proof I’ll post a teaser of what’s to come.

[pmd-tales-of-undergrounds]

I’m not dead yet. ;)

Reblog this if you have an Undertale Au

Popular or not, just reblog if you have one!

[pmd-tales-of-undergrounds]

I just started reading this, and it's absolutely amazing.

Ah, thank you so much. While there hasn’t been much progress as of late, rest assured that there will be more to come.

[pmd-tales-of-undergrounds]

Welcome back! Everything all good?

I’m fine, I’ve just been going through both some personal stuff and a bit of writer’s block. There’s also one more song I need to make for the next part that I’m having difficulty getting to sound nice. I’d promise to get another part out soon, but I don’t really want to make a promise that I can’t keep. I do genuinely want to get another one out though. Sorry to make people wait.

[pmd-tales-of-undergrounds]

Hey Chara, do you know someone called Asriel? Leave by Mimik.

Asriel, huh...

I think maybe once I heard Mom say it when we first met?

Still, it sounds familiar. I can’t remember where I heard it.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

It is best not to pry into this topic.

Believe me, I have tried to the best of my abilities and...

Well, I suppose that some things are best left forgotten.

My apologies.
