why are all of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon plots so batshit. like— “town is convinced you’re the harbinger of the apocalypse and starts a national manhunt to kill you.” “you come from a destroyed future and fight and if you solve the problem you get fucking deleted.” “you’re actually the tenth of so isekai protagonist they summoned but everyone else DIED.” “a being of pure hate wants to die because it’s being forcefed hate and tries to throw the earth into the sun. also it possesses your dad to send you HELL and you have to crawl put of it.”

A total doormat

Very astute, perceptive, and knowledgeable, though

Mommy Issues™️

Eve:

Dumb as hell

[Half-star] IQ energy

Stresses Tree the hell out by being unobservant and leaping before looking (sometimes literally)

Will throw hands to protect him with her life, though

Eats anything

Chika:

Gentle giant

Do NOT fuck with her team, though

Will Solar Beam the shit out of you at any given moment

The Mom Friend™️ of the gang; very organized, cautious, and protective

Will forgive anyone but will NEVER forget

Ty:

Human-turned-Pokemon

Perpetually tired

Is Done™️ with the saving-the-world bullshit

Strongest Poke of the bunch if pressed

Very considerate and concerned about his team’s safety always

Hero and Partner Week, Day 1: Getting Lost

“Neo and Skitty scramble into the darkness of Lapis Cave through the narrow opening in the mountainside as Shiftry’s gang closes in behind them. They hurry deeper into the dungeon with only the soft glow of precious gemstones to light their way.”

@heropartnerweek

This prompt inspired me to draw a scene in which hero and partner become lost within the Lapis Cave system because they lose their sense of direction while being chased through the dungeon. They travel the same paths over and over again because leaving any indication that they’ve already been down a corridor will lead Shiftry and his team right to them, and any time they spend trying to identify landmarks will allow them to catch up even faster.

Typically when I draw or write fanworks, I don’t envision mystery dungeons as the maze-like environments they are in canon. I went for it in this illustration because I wanted to draw this scene from a top-down perspective, and I thought the long, narrow corridor would look nice. This was also my first time doing lineless character art ever and the first time I’ve drawn a full background in a while, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out!

I’m looking forward to sharing more of my art and seeing everyone else’s creations this week!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

So, here we are. It's been over three years since the last PMD game, and almost 8 since the last one that wasn't a remake. Where does this leave us? Will we ever get another new PMD game? I don't know. Personally? I have hope that the series isn't dead. That one day, we will get another. But I can't say for certain. But even if this is the end…what a legacy PMD has left us with. Five lovely games, each with their own story to tell, their own joys to be had. Sure, some may be better than others, but they all carry the spirit of PMD within them. Rescue Team is a story about finding yourself in a foreign world, of finding home in the unlikeliest of places, of how even when the rest of the world is against you, you'll always have some people who believe in you. Explorers is a story about overcoming impossible odds, of staying true to oneself, of shining bright at world's end, of how if your legacy is still remembered, in a way, you'll still be alive. Adventure Squad is a story of finding joy in the little things, of how even simple acts of kindness can turn around the hearts of a whole village. Gates to Infinity is a story about holding onto hope even in the most desperate circumstances, of friendships that never truly die, of kindness begetting more kindness, of changing the world for the better, one step at a time. Super is a story of learning who you truly are, what makes you yourself, of how negativity is a necessary part of life, of globe-spanning friendships, of entrusted hope, of how you can do amazing things, of how it's ok to need help. Each one has its own, unique take on PMD. Each one has its own themes, its own joys it wants to share. Each one complements the rest, and all together? They make something truly wonderful. While it's possible that PMD might never return, that attatchement we have to it? That love we have for our partners? That joy we have when we remember our favorite moments from it? That will never truly fade. It might be buried, might be forgotten, but it will never truly die. It will always be there, waiting to return. In a way, PMD will never end. Like Special Episode 5 of Explorers teaches us, if our legacy is remembered, then we're still alive, in a way. Our spirit still shines bright, still affecting others. As long as we continue to cherish PMD, it will never die. I'm crying so hard as I type this all. I love PMD. I love it with all my heart. I think a good way to show why PMD will never truly die is to take a look at the fanworks made for it. There are hundreds, if not thousands of fanworks created about PMD. Comics, fanfics, askblogs, and more, all telling their own stories about PMD. All created because of love for PMD. Silver Resistance. Victory Fire. Hands of Creation. Warped Skies. Quenched Torch. Legends Legacy. Shatter. Daily Life in Pokemon Paradise. Flake-N-Rudy. Askanotslownotking. Free Fiction. The Dreamstone. Places We Call Home. Galaxies Above. On Borrowed Time. Fledglings. Liberators of Fate. Sierra 10. Flowerbeds. Irau's Journal. Psychic Sheep. Zero the Hero. Path of Valor. Even those of us who aren't telling full stories, those of us who make fanart, those of us who make fanmusic and remixes, those of us who just gush about PMD. We're all keeping PMD alive. To everyone who has ever made any sort of PMD fanwork, discussed their love for the series, or even just recommended it to a friend. To anyone who has ever helped keep PMD alive. Thank you. Even if we never get a new PMD game, it will never truly die, as long as we continue to cherish it. Thank you all so much.

I have my own PMD fanworks, if anyone wishes to check them out.

Eternal Shadows, a PMD story taking place post-Super, about a human-turned-Oshawott who wishes to return home.

In Tandem, a hybrid PMD and trainerfic, about a PMD Tropius who wishes to become a trainer in the human world.

Then, Then, and Now, a hybrid Rescue Team and Legends Arceus story, of a protagonist who goes through both.

A Comprehensive Guide to Items, a guide to items in the PMD world, and how they work, written in-universe by the Rescue Team partner.

A Way to Reunite, a Gates to Infinity oneshot, about an alternate epilogue if the Worldcore didn't exist.

Day of Heroes, a oneshot celebrating the four main PMD games. The protagonists and partners of each game celebrate a holiday dedicated to them, together.

I also have a variety of PMD askblogs.

@ask-team-searchlights is an askblog for the cast of Eternal Shadows, and @ask-world-savers-council is an askblog for the cast of Day of Heroes. And @adventuresquadharvest is a new askblog I started today, for giving love for Adventure Squad.

If you decide to check out any of these, I hope you enjoy.

I'm also always available to chat about PMD! I have a bunch of headcanons and worldbuilding about the series that I'd love to talk about more! Feel free to either approach me in DMs, ask me on this blog, or contact me on Discord! My username there is ifbench, same as here.

I hope you've all enjoyed my PMD rambles. Thank you for listening.

hi clover i love your art <3

Currently thinking about how Cubone is a hero option in Red rescue team. A lot of their dialog implies that they're mourning. There's some good tragedy in there somewhere. A distant sense of longing, mourning a person that you don't remember the name or face of. That crippling guilt of not being able to remember someone you love. The heartache from the idea that you may never remember who they were. But despite that you still feel that longing for them. You can't accept they're gone, but you can't even remember who they were. The loneliness that comes from a hole in your heart that you dont know the shape of. Those feelings are still there, but you don't know who they were for.
