Play Cassette Beasts

Anyways, here's my attempt a Cassette Beast sona, a fusion of Thwackalope and Puppercut

[charulein]

I've been enjoying Cassette Beasts so much!!! Started playing it a few days ago and it's really goooooooood!!! The ost slaps so hard and I just love the premise????

[orcboxer]

astral type puppercut let's fucking goooooooo

[lucarihoe]

What breed of dog would you like them to base a Pokemon on? (Feel free to go in depth: their name, evolutions, typing, etc.)

Oh that is SUCH a good question!!! Plus I’m at work with doggos now so I’ve got PLENTY of inspo ;)

Okay to make things a bit easier let’s eliminate the ones already made so I don’t “create” a double (I’m also excluding Fox-like dog Pokemon such as Zorua and Eevee to make the list easier):

-Houndour/Houndoom- (Hound/Dobermann)

-Growlithe/Arcanine- (Husky/Tiger)

-Furfrou- [ANY Poodle (Specifically French bc of Kalos)/Komondor]

-Smeargle- (Beagle/Monkey)

-Lilipup/Herdier/Stoutland- (Yorkie/Shih Tzu/Scottish Terrier)

-Rockruff/Lycanroc- (Border Collie/Wolf)

-Snubbull/Granbull- (Pug/Bulldog/Pitbull)

-Yamper/Boltund- (Corgi/Australian Sheppard)

- Poochyena/Mightyena- (Hyena/Wolf)

- Electrike/Manectric- (Wolf/Pointing Dog)

-Riolu/Lucario- [Jackal (based on Anubis)/Man)

-Zacian/Zamazenta- (Wolves, but ancient Norse and Arthurian myths)

-Fidough/Dachsbun- (Dachshund)

-Maschiff/Mabosstiff- (Mastiff)

- Greavard/Houndstone- (Iberian Catalan Sheepdog/Briard)

- Okidogi- (Shiba Inu/Akita)

Okay SO after all of that out of the way, it’s time to make my own! 🤩 (I’m gonna make two silly ones bc that’s all my brain can create atm 😅)

- Puppercut (Normal/Fighting), based on a Boston Terrier/Boxer. Alone they are quite docile and make excellent protective partners for first time trainers; however in the wild they are often found in groups brawling one another until they eventually tire themselves out.

After enough experience is gained, it evolves into Boxcur (Fighting/Dark), based more on a Boxer but mixed with the Wolverine. Puppercut’s hands quadruple in size, mimicking boxing gloves, and it now becomes bipedal. Its behavior changes to that of a boxing coach, providing playful jabs to its trainer when it wants to communicate. When it or its trainer is threatened however, retractable claws emerge from its swollen fists and it becomes almost feral with rage. A simple itch behind the ear causes the Pokemon to regain its composure.

- Pebblit/Camine (a mix of “K-9” and “Mine”)/Rockhund. This would be a convergent evolution of the Rockruff/Lycanroc line, as it would look similar to them, but is in fact a completely different species as it has an extra evolutionary stage and slightly different typings.

No one knows how Pebblit (Rock, Ground) is formed. Its most common form is a whiling dust cloud forming just above the ground, similar to that of a tumbleweed. Legends say a spirit possessed the very ground above its gravesite which gave it its corporeal form; however leading Pokemon Researchers now theorize that common erosion from local Carbink contain properties that allow this Pokemon to form.

Camine (Rock, Ground) is the evolved form of Pebblit. Unlike typical evolution Camine can only evolve within crystal caverns due to the unique energy signatures found within. When close to evolving, Pebblit begins to emit a slight pulsing glow and nearby gem-infused boulders begin to gravitate toward it giving it a new form once complete. Camine bears striking similarities to Lycanroc, just not nearly as slick as it is comprised of jagged stones and sharp gemstones. The gemstones lining its body are used for reflecting light to move throughout its cavernous home without being seen. When spotted, it ejects the gemstones out of its body at high speeds. This has been known to lacerate trainers in the vicinity.

Rockhund (Rock, Fairy), is only formed when the light emitted from an eclipse refracts in the caverns Camine calls home. As beams of energy infused light hits Camine’s own gemstones, the Pokemon begins to absorb said light to fuel its final evolution. Rockhund now hovers off the ground by some unknown force, and its body has solidified into a more sleek and aerodynamic version of its previous form. With its body now entirely crystalline, it is often attacked by wild Sableye but easily fends them off with bright flashes of blinding light, rendering its attackers temporarily blind. Rockhund is often found in dens surrounded by numerous sparkling gemstones, Carbink, among other shiny treasures. Explorers often joke that finding Rockhund is your ticket to ultimate riches.

we were looking at the cassette beasts tag, and you designed three of our favorite monsters‽‽‽‽

also we got a plant type puppercut and their one of our favorite owned tapes now

southpaw is awesome, the word itself has always been one we enjoyed and the beast is even better :3

freaking awesome!!! happy to know you like southpaw's design! thanks so much ;u; 💙

[skyistheground]

give/kin assign the ISAT gang cassette beasts,,

I DID DO THIS ALREADY HERE but

i didn't explain my choices in that post because orion knows the game so i will explain them here

i gave siffrin scarleteeth because it's previous form, littlered because it's hooded, cat-like (i personally really associate them with red) and most importantly, it has potential. potential for both good and bad. and we all know where siffrin went. scarleteeth is the more monstrous remaster of littlered. if i made a crossover i think that siffrin's tape would remaster into this in a smiliar (energy wise) vibe to act 5 breakdown

i don't think they're fucked up forever though. permanently changed but it can get better

(sorry in advance for no story details beyond this because i don't actually know what a crossover would be like but MAYBE i'll start thinking)

mirabelle got miasmodeus because the first stage, candevil, is one of the two starter beasts in the game. gives me a "chosen one" energy, and candevil (+ the other one. which i will talk about with loop) is said to be really rare. miasmodeus is fun and whimsical which i think fits her outward personality. as a beast, miasmodeus is capable of a good range of attack and support, which reflects her role in fights. it's very cute and she deserves to be cute

southpaw is a boxer which out of all the beasts fits isabeau's fighting style the best. southpaw is the remaster of puppercut, who is described as being very shy and weak, which reminisces me of how isabeau described himself before. changing (let's go transgenders). more confident self who is very charismatic

odile fit triphinx imo because it's slow and powerful. though honestly thinking she could specifically have a bootleg one (what type. i don't know). but bootleg because they are generally stronger and have more/different coverage. also she is cool like that

bonnie gets padpole because it's cute and also eventually remasters into a bigger frog called liligator with huge fists that hurt really bad if they hit someone (for like. an older bonnie). the padpole line is mainly for support moves (is how i used it, anyway. liligator is one of my favorite guys) with occasional damage

loop gets ramtasm. which is one of the final remasters for bansheep, the other starting guy. ramtasm is very ethereal and also has a special type, astral type, which is a starry-universy "element". in sasasap loop's sort of lack of significance wasn't as emphasized so i figured a starter would be ok

[scootatwoni]

Etsuo in cassette beasts he would have a puppercut cassette

Monsters of Cassette Beasts and Gender Ratios - A Personal Headcanon

So I'm more or less halfway through Cassette Beasts (the main game, at least, still have yet to reach post-game so NO SPOILERS), and I've had this running through my head for a while now. Even though there are no genders at all, I still wanted to put in some genders of my own anyway just because I can.

Please not that these are all my own personal opinions, so take it all with a grain of salt if you will. Additionally, I did not include any monsters from the Pier of the Unknown DLC, as I have not gotten around to getting it yet. Fret not, however, for once I do get the DLC, I will make sure to update this ASAP.

Thought I'd make a list of all my bootlegs, but I gave some of them nicknames and some others are just special to me so I have no intention of trading. So I thought it best to list them out:

Adeptile in earth Aeroboros in orange and astral Allseer in plastic and ice Anathema in earth Acrowcalypse in fire and lightning Arevevoir in fire Beanstalker in water Blossomaw in glitter, water and metal Boltam in poison and plant Bulletino in fire Capricorpse in glitter Carniviper in water and beast Cat-5 in beast Charlequinn in beast Cluckabilly in glitter Dandylion in poison Dominoth in plant(2), plastic(3), fire, astral, glitter and earth Draculeaf in fire Elfless in water and plastic Folklord in plant Frillypad in water Fungogh in metal and earth Galagor in fire, plastic and air Glaistain in poison, metal and air Grampus in glitter Hedgeherne in plastic Hopskin in astral and glass Huntorch in lightning Jellyton in ice and beast Jormungold in air(2) and glitter Khufo in water and glass Kuneko in glass Lobstacle in earth and poison Macabra in plastic, air and plant Manispear in metal Masquerattle in beast Mothmanic in water and astral Nevermort in water and plant Picksie in water, plastic and metal Pinbolt in glitter Plasmantler in metal Pombomb in plant Puppercut in metal(bootleg), plant and water Ratcousel in glass Scampire in glitter Shining Kuneko in Astral(bootleg) Smogmagog in poison Spitzfire in glass Spooki-onna in astral Springheel in fire Squirey in plant and fire Traffikrab in metal, beast and ice Undyin in fire Velocirifle in earth

[wtfgaylittlezooid]

This is giving me the most vivid imagery of Felix as the Djinn Entonic making drinks for the Puppercut and Jormungold while me and the wild Hopskin are beating the shit out of eachother in the back

WQHAT THE FUCK

[dood1e-bug]

Made little chibis for my two Cassette beasts ocs with their main tapes (but pre-evo)

[the-jews-faked-the-moonlanding]

She's had this hairband on her head for ten minutes and hasn't realized that it's there yet.

I think I might try to achieve this with other objects as well...

[cutecornflakes]

As seen on WeRateDogs, "This is Beaux. He would like to box, but only if you go easy on him. Might hit you with a left hook or maybe a swift puppercut. 12/10"

[crystalelemental]

Also I can’t find Manispear.  There’s a quest or something to find one in the Deadlands, but it won’t show up, which is infuriating because the first time I went over there I was level 8 or so, and the first encounter had a level 10 Manispear, and it kicked my entire ass.  But now that I’m actually looking for it, it’s impossible to find.  Also I’m sorry, I’m going now, nothing frustrates me more than lost progress over continuous crashing.

This ties into another frustration: the scientist guy wants me to find different types of monsters, and apparently they’re all relegated to just being backups to other fights.  So I just have to encounter like a billion thing and kinda hope it’s in this one.  I know you can visually see encounters, and that’s always a step above invisible random encounters, but when the majority of your monsters are hidden as the backup to what you actually see on the overworld, you’ve defeated the entire point.  I thought we figured this stuff out with Galar and the shaky grass bullshit.  If you’re just going to put the rare ones in hidden encounters anyway, why bother?  It’s way worse when your game emphasizes side-quests, because the emphasis is always on those rare monsters.

I guess it kinda helps, since progress on hitting 5* for remastering takes forever, but EXP yields on that front are so hilariously small that it’s frankly not worth it.  Meanwhile my characters feel stupid overleveled.  The captain I tried to fight was around my level, I may have even been a level above.  The only reason I wound up losing was I didn’t have my Fire Dog with me, and thus no type advantages.  But I found the lady that gives rumors on the trial captains, and apparently the one I found is maybe third in line at best.  So even though I could have won that fight, I was out of sequence entirely.  Which is weird to me.  It feels bizarre, having to be like “Yeah, I’m wildly overleveled compared to everything I encounter, but what’s holding me back is that nothing is 5* to remaster, so we can still get our shit rocked.”  It feels like it’s already running into the same issues with EXP All that Pokemon did.

The thing is, I feel like this is one of those games where the difficulty is at the outset when you don’t actually have skills, but it gets way easier once you do.  Because right now, the big money action is Fusion.  But Fusion is locked behind Persona Social Links where I have to do a specific questline with my human partners to access it.  So it’s just Kayleigh right now, but I’ve gotta work on the quest for the other two, who I definitely don’t like as much as Kayleigh.  What I’m saying is I’m now spending more time on obligations than things I want to be doing, because instead of building up my monster roster and playing favorites, I’m trying to tackle sidequests that aren’t giving me what I need, and getting my other partners to have critically important skills.  Starting to think maybe emphasizing having a playable cast of characters in a monster collection game wasn’t the greatest decision.

There’s still the issue of random encounters too.  Everything that isn’t wildly underleveled random encounters will get a hit in, and it’s probably going to hurt.  At this point, other human battles involve hits dealing like half HP or more in a single swing if they’re lucky.  I had one dude like 5 levels lower than me OHKO one of my options.  It wasn’t even type advantage as far as I’m aware.  And I think this kind of thing would be fine, if it weren’t for the healing situation.  Healing items are super finite, you can’t take many with you, and resting at campfires costs incredibly valuable resources in wood.  So I’m really not pro-camping, and have to return to town, and the only quick-travel points are the train stations you discover.  Which is to say, there are very few of them, and I’m spending a lot of time just running across terrain because something two-shot my Puppercut, and I had to haul ass back to town.

I dunno.  I was having fun for a bit there, but if this crashing stuff keeps up, I may well drop it entirely.
