Description
i am currently working on a nuzlocke run for white version. when i write my comic, i will be using a near future setting to balance the theme of unova's nature vs technology (the characters are roughly 10 years older) . in the world of nuzlocke, pokemon's lives are at risk during battles, and team's plasma's influence is not helping. if trainers wish to continue their journeys, they must put themselves at risk if they wish to use their pokemon's unique abilities. using the same technology to confine pokemon into pokeballs, silph co has created a biotech exoskeleton suit to use artificial powers and abilities pokemon may use. the pokeballs may be placed within a rotating chest piece which protects pokemon from actually battling, but my still out to bond with their trainers when they dont fight. the larger tougher pokemon will generated more heavier plated steel armor with stronger artificial muscles and protective shields, while lesser pokemon only generate a slim muscle suit.starter team [link]

Well, interesting concept, and I would love to see the actual comic when it comes out. But I think the masks look a little... I dunno, silly to me, especially Bianca's. Maybe reduce it to a helmet or some other headpiece, perhaps?

you think? i was having a bit of trouble thinking how to make the pokemons' faces into helmets. i had the most trouble with snivy because he has such a weird head shape

Huh... sorry if I offended you in anyway
Maybe I could sketch what I have in mind when I have the time in dA Muro - just give me a sec.

no, you didnt offend me. i admit it was a hard project. but i am curious to see what you have in mind

dA Muro is poop, so I had to use SAI 
and there's a reason this needs to happen [link]

um, im not too sure about those :/ cheren needs something to represent the red nose and without a chin protector, he could get seriously injured. chins are very vulnerable when it comes to combat science. on bianca, the ears are too high and would serve no protective purpose as well. they look like how people try to draw catgirl ears even though thats not how the skull is shaped. and the sharp corners next to the cheek could inflict self injury if not careful. and the brown of the nose needs to be under the eyes. many of the same things could be said about my character as well. the visors doesnt give much eye protection either. unless something is bracing all sides of the visor, it gives it structural weakness and broken glass could be very harmful to the eyes. and the yellow of snivy's eyes isnt supposed to stretch over like the more rounded head pokemon, thats why i left them separate lenses.
i do enjoy these designs. they are very cute ^^ but i think they might not be as structurally up to code to provide the best protection or align with the representing pokemon designs. if you have any other ideas, i would love to see them

Looks like we both have very diferent veiws of what would make a good sci-fi suit, then. :/ Guess we were exposed to different kinds of sci-fi stories thusly hanging out veiws of design. To me, I think that stuff like chin protectors the ears are too high and other small, safety-related stuff don't really matter to me - just as long as they cover the head and look like they came from an eighties cartoon show
Cheren - Because I've seen a lot of tepig gijinkas that don't need to repersent the snout, I left it out. But if you want to, maybe put it as a brooch or on each ear, perhaps?
Bianca - I don't think that ear placement is an issue either - after all people do draw them a lot that way. And what sharp corners? Are you talking about the other headphone? Oh, yeah... hmm...it's just to make standard round headphones have a sharper modern look
Protagonist: In case you didn't read my writing (I"m sorry, I have TERRIBLE handwriting) it says that the helmet is more pointed than illustrated (BECAUSE LAZINESS.)The pupils aren't repersented - simply the design surrounding the eyes. The visor/eyeguard is made out of very durable material, not glass.
Well, guess that's what I could say about my designs. Again, sorry if I offended you in any way. Might reply later with revisions.

well i always choose practicality over cartoony. having complete protection is important when your fighting with your life on the line. and most helmets in casual designs lack mouth coverage which protect chins, teeth, and can provide breathing apparatus and filters. and the less pointed materials reduce impact because a well rounded surface area distributes shock. for example, i would choose ironman's suit over master chief's suit any day

I know you'ew concerned about safety and that kind of stuff... but for something that is supposed to be a muscle suit rather than full armor especially in fiction.... I dunno. It's kind of hard to explain, but to me there isn't a need to pay attention and fuss about the little details if it's fictional. I personally like to let some safety issues go for more creative freedom that produces less cheesy and more appealing designs. Besides, we can also assume that advanced technology has handle the rest.
Keep in mind that all of the above is IMO. We're both entitled to our opinions. But this was a vrey good discussion. It;s kinda hard to hit designs that match best of both worlds. Maybe we can do something like a motorcycle helmet - they have chin guards and even cover the entire face - we could produce a sleek design from there.

thats ok. i think im just going to stick with this unless something better comes to mind

Wow this is a very interesting concept you have here I hope It all works out for you.

You haven't even started the comic yet and I already love it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no not yet ^^ im told its better to finish the game before i start the comic so i have a better understanding of needed scenes in the game and how to write my relations with my teammates
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that is the general opinion, though some people prefer to only write the comic before they finish the game so that the events in the comic are less calculated. It also helps if you've lost your notes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well ive been taking notes of like every single thing thats been happening so far. and its kinds hard since the 5th gen games have most story elements that all the previous pokemon games put together, lol

Whoa. That's some hardcore armor.
I have a question, though. What if two or more Pokemon were in the rotating chamber on the chestpiece? Would the trainer be able to freely rotate the chestpiece and choose which Pokemon to fuse with?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yup. it has 6 slots for a full party. so all they have to do is rotate it to the one they want and take that form
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. Seems reasonable.

why thank you. i thought so as well

thank you saix. i think that might be my favorite too

Ooh! How interesting. It's like Pokemon Reburst and Power Rangers combined!

LOL, yes, that came to mind halfway through designing this as well as the blue beetle, the new green lantern sut from the movie, and the tepig one reminds me a bit of megaman even though i never played the game
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uh. So you really did have the same kind of idea as me... except unlike me, you actually found a good system to use the Pokemon's powers. And those designs are pretty cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i guess so. they didnt turn out how i originally dreamed them out to be. at 1st i planned on less of a bodysuit and more patches of skeletal armor
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, as you said, you can start with bodysuits for most Pokemon and when they evolve, add armors and shoulderpads and whatnot. The concept is really fun so just go wild! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i dont know how to explain what i originally had in mind
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bah, the idea will eventually blossom like a radiant flower. So don't you worry. XD

Woah! This will definitely be an interesting take on the Nuzlocke world!! Definitely unique~ Can't wait to read when it comes out!
