Strider vs Silent Requiem​ Morgan wasn't expecting Silent Requiem to launch himself into the air like he did. In reaction, she quickly shifted her aim upward to try to match her opponent's elevation and fired once more. She took the hit immediately afterward. While she did succeed in getting the shot off, she wasn't sure how much of the blast actually hit him, if it managed to at all. But that's not all that important right now. The EAS also managed to absorb most of his attack, but it didn't stop him from knocking her on the cold, hard ground. And on top of that Morgan thinks she heard that grinding sound again, which probably means that he did a bit of damage to the armor as well. Silent Requiem didn't hold back this time, and she knew it. That attack put her into an unfortunate position, though. She did manage to get quite a bit of energy, but she's pretty sure that she had also satisfied the conditions for his signature, which was both a good thing and a bad thing. She would be getting even more energy, but she would also be getting another major headache, whether she wanted to or not. She set the mech's motion controls to try to get back up, then she covered her ears and prepared for the worst.

((OOC: Don't worry about it. While she does have some movement even with her shield up, it's not like she can dodge easily as it is. The shield is taking power from her speed, after all.)) Strider vs Silent Requiem ​Morgan staggered a bit from the impact​, causing her to lose balance for a second before standing upright again. But apparently, she wasn't the only one that lurched backward. It would seem as though her opponent wasn't expecting the shield itself, was knocked backward (as intended), and made what seemed like an awkward landing, which was also pretty weird for a spherical... well... anything. Meh... whatever. It wasn't all that weird as much as she wasn't expecting it. She took her mind off of whatever the hell he just managed to quickly look over at a separate screen, which monitored how much energy that has been accumulated through EAS. ...It wasn't much. She frowned slightly as she finished looking over the monitor. She doesn't have much going for her right now in terms of her energy. In fact, the charge didn't really do much damage... and speaking of damage, he wasn't using his blades at all. Looks like he really was trying to knock her off of her feet. Morgan's focus shifted back to the matter at hand. She decided to keep the shield up for a bit longer as she followed the same action as before, which was to take aim at her opponent and open fire when he got close.

Strider vs Silent Requiem​ ... It seems as though retreating was a bit of a bad idea. Morgan scowled at Silent Requiem as he already claimed that he had already won... then she got a bit confused as to what her opponent had in mind. What exactly was he- Morgan's question was answered with a weird high-pitched sound... and one hell of a headache, which left her very disoriented and unable to move... Good lord, did that hurt. She didn't even notice that Silent Requiem was charging at her until it was too late. Her whole body shook from the impact, almost making her loose her glasses as she heard the blades grind against her armor. It didn't do a ton of damage, but it did do some damage nonetheless. Morgan fixed the position of her glasses, placing her other hand over her head to help ease her headache. "W​as that... his signature?" She thought to herself. It had to have been. There's nothing else it could possibly be. She had to admit, it wasn't much of a wonder as to how he got this far. Half of his opponents probably had to have given up or even fainted from such a thing. Wondering about that doesn't exactly help the situation, though. Luckily, Morgan thinks that she has an idea of how it works. "...If that works the way that I think it does..." She pondered for a brief second. "Then I have to be on the defensive for it to work, maybe?" Then she shook her head. "...Maybe not." She managed to put her mind to work despite the headache. "No. I have to do something to give him control of the situation." A smirk grew on Morgan's face. "That has to be it..."​ Now would be a good time for a plan... and she's got the prefect one to work with. Strider used the jets once again to jump backwards... again. However, it was a much shorter distance than last time. She just needed him to think he had the advantage. "System, draw all power from the jets, the railgun, and the machine guns and activate the EAS." ...Command accepted... Activating EAS...​ Morgan's jets then flickered off and the entire body of her mech started to glow a faint greenish color as it landed. She immediately switched to her shotgun again and took aim, waiting for Silent Requiem to attack again before unloading on him... That's if she got the chance, anyways.

Strider vs Silent Requiem​​​ Morgan took the hit from Silent Requiem's blade, though it was barely just a scratch. That's what she thought, at least, until the system began to sound a short alarm. Warning! Taking damage!​ "...Damn. System, activate maneuver jets!" The jets immediately flared on with the system confirming the command. Command accepted... Maneuver jets activated.​ Morgan immediately flew backwards to gain some distance before switching back to her machine guns. She then pointed the weapons at her opponent and opened fire.

Strider vs Silent Requiem​​ Morgan gave a low, quiet growl after her opponent finished speaking. She didn't like this guy from the start, but now he's purposely trying to get on her nerves. While Silent Requiem's comment wasn't entirely false, she did think that he was getting a bit ahead of himself. The match has just started and he's already making assumptions. Morgan Belle did not get into this tournament by being just like everyone else... but apparently, he doesn't know that. And as much as she would like to just activate EAS and blow him away in one fell swoop, she knew it wasn't going to be that easy. It never is. However, she did notice that he was straight up rushing her. "...So you're at an advantage, huh?" Morgan said as she switched to her shotgun. "We'll see about that." She waited until her opponent got close, and attempted to dodge to the right, firing at the oversized bowling ball as she went.

Morgan - Arena, Strider vs Silent Requiem​ ​Morgan stepped into the arena as the gates lifted, looking around as she did so. There weren't that many people in the crowds. There were maybe... twenty people at the maximum, many of which weren't even interested in the match at the slightest. Even for the plane of sloth, it was depressing. Luckily, this seemed to work out in Ms. Belle's favor. Less people meant less attention, less attention meant less pressure, less pressure meant less stress and anxiety, which finally ends with fewer distractions and better concentration. Looks like everything seemed good so far. Now to move on to the more important topic: the opponent. Her opponent this time is Silent Requiem. She didn't know much about her combatant other than the fact that he is... well... a he, and he was in the third seat of the tournament with an SAD build. While Morgan's build was mainly to mess with those trendy FAD types along with many other slow moving opponents, she's handled a few SAD mechs as well. The common trick here is to try to keep your distance while laying down the fire and watching where you're going. While she can manage this for the most part, her real potential lies with what her opponents don't know. Many people think that a slowed mech is a sign that they're winning. In her case, however, that's the trick. They attack with everything they have, and BAM!... that's when it all comes back to hit them. Hard. Either that, or she'll boost her other systems to the point where they're thrown off. Either way, if she can manage to do that again this time, then there's a good chance that she'll win. She has to be careful, though. This Silent Requiem probably didn't get to be in the third seat for nothing. Morgan briefly opened her HUD to check her mech's systems. Systems check... Complete. All systems are operating at one hundred percent efficiency. The words appeared above an image of the machine, the entirety of which lit up green. Accelerator jets on standby. Maneuver jets on standby. All weapons charged. EAS charged. All EAS connections established. Awaiting final activation.​ She couldn't help but feel relieved. The last thing that she wanted was to fail because someone screwed up repairs. Morgan then stared down the so-called "heir to the throne of Pride" with a fierce look in her eye... not that he can really see it since there was a helmet in the way and all, but still. Her competitive side was coming out, shunning her normally kind and shy attitude and replacing it with a determination to release herself from this curse, which was ironically part of her desire to win at the same time. She took one last deep breath as she prepared her built in machine guns and the various jets around her mech for combat. She whispered to herself as she exhaled. "Alright... here we go."

Meh. As a lizardman, I don't usually wear shoes... but when I do, I only really tie them when I feel that it's necessary. Like your first time wearing a new pair of shoes, when they become untied, or most importantly, when they become loose enough to be accidentally kicked off and sent twenty feet through the neighbor's yard.

Morgan-​ Say nothing, ​​​Do nothing​ Morgan had been standing quietly behind the rest of the group, her nervousness getting to the point where it was getting difficult to listen to the others' introductions. She never stood before a God like this before, nor did she ever really have the slightest chance to. "What do I do? What should I say? Where do I even start?"​ Her anxiety was throwing her mind in a constant loop of stress and worry​. Granted, this was probably the laziest God in existence, but that didn't do much to help ease the tension. One by one, she watched as the other contestants introduced themselves, which was cut off for a second as the one called Silent Requiem addressed himself as the "heir to the throne of Pride". What the hell makes him think that he's going to win so easily... let alone at all? Morgan managed to cut off her anger before it began to show. She sorely wished that she could act as calmly as the others here. She slowly balled her hand into a fist as she started to get jealous and felt her anger return. "I can do this just as well as they can..." ​She thought to herself. "​I'll show them that I can-" ​...Her thoughts were interrupted by not one, but two waves of static sounding noises. Did someone bring a mic and sound system with them? That doesn't really matter at all right now, however, as she realized that she was the only one that hasn't introduced themselves yet... which ultimately meant that it was her turn. Morgan took a deep breath, walked forward, and eventually bowed to the Sixth God. "G-greetings, Sleeping Bear." She said nervously. "I'm M-" She cut herself short as she realized that she almost gave away her name. What was she thinking? No one else needed to know her name. Not the other competitors, at least. She felt embarrassed by the slip up... and the fact that it sounded like she made a major stutter only made it worse. "S-sorry. Let me try that again..." She paused as she took another deep breath. "I am known as Strider. It's a pleasure to meet you in person, Milord." After introducing herself, she quickly turned around and made her way back to the rest of the competitors.

Hmmm... If I remember correctly, I believe I signed up sometime around Late January to early February 2015, which means I joined during episode 14. Good god, it's been over a year already. Looks like time really does fly.

So... funny story: I was actually thinking about taking that part out after I posted the character sheet since I wasn't exactly sure how well it would fit in the first place. I can see it in a sense. But at the same time, I didn't think that it was enough to have Wrath on there at all, which was why I typed it in the way that I did. Then I kinda figured that someone would tell me if there was something wrong with it, so I didn't really mess with it at all. Anyways, I did patch that up like you asked. That, and I do believe that's it with edits for me. I honestly can't think of anything else to add to it..

Alright, I'm convinced. Here's my character sheet. Forum Name: Komodojoe Character Name: Morgan Belle Alias: Strider Age: 17 Gender: Female​ Sin: Envy Appearance: A lightly tan skinned girl with a slim and somewhat athletic build while standing with a fair size of 5'8, Morgan has shoulder length jet black hair along with a pair of yellow eyes and a set of round glasses to accommodate for her poor eyesight. Her outfit usually consists of a simple red shirt with a tan jacket covering it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. However, this may slightly change to fit in with the crowd better. Mech Appearance: While Morgan's mech is pretty bulky, it's not really meant for strength enhancing purposes. A lot of the bulk comes from the numerous built in jet boosters and weapon holsters. The rest is for the armor. Strider has a large generator on it's back that draws in a lot of excess energy that is accumulated, which can be used to distribute said energy throughout the rest of the mech, or it can all be put into the large cannon on the back of it's right shoulder, which, when extended, is actually drawn and aimed over the right shoulder. The color scheme is mainly red with thick blue lines running down the sides and various blue patches on various joints throughout the body. The helmet shape looks like an upside down U and has another blue line running down the middle and sides. The mech's visor consists of two circular, glowing blue eyes that seem to just stare right into your very core. Personality: Morgan is, for the most part, both a kind and shy girl. She'll try her best to help others in almost any way, shape, or form. But at the same time, you'll usually be the one trying to start up any sort of conversation. That being said, you'll have to ask her for her help nine times out of ten. Despite Morgan's kindness, she gets pretty competitive out of both jealousy and the fact that she wants to become better at whatever it is that makes her want to compete in the first place. Not to mention that she hates to lose. She also has quite the short temper when it comes to inflated egos and showoffs. Motivation: Morgan's abundance of envy was the very reason that she signed up. Not because she wants to be better than the rest, but because she wants to get rid of all of that jealousy and anger that's followed her throughout her life. She doesn't even really care about this promise of godhood and ruling over the planes and whatnot. She's really just doing this because she feels as if once all of this is over, she'll finally be able to let go of the burdens of negativity that she's been carrying all of these years. Her Goal is to climb as high up as she possibly can and be happy with where she is in life. If she wins it all, then she knows that she'll be able to leave it all behind. If she loses, then hopefully she'll be able to accept her fate and find some other way to rid herself of the envy that's been haunting her. Mechs Stats: Speed: 5. Strider has various jets built in throughout it's body that allow for speed, strafing, and some aerial movement, allowing for quite a bit of flexibility in combat. Melee: 1. This mech doesn't have much for melee combat. Strider just has a pair of spiked gauntlets that allow for it to attempt to repel the attacker long enough to get away. Firepower: 6. Strider's equipped with numerous weapons. The mech has two heavy machine guns built into the arms that are mainly used at short to midrange and when strafing is required, a shotgun with cryogenic rounds for when Miss Belle really needs to get up close, and a railgun for mid to long range combat. Armor: 3. Strider's armor is made up of a durable, yet lighter metallic alloy so the weight of the armor doesn't cut back on speed and maneuverability as much as it should. While the armor does provide a solid defense, there are definitely others that can do it's job better. Signature Attack: Revenge Blast. Using the cannon that's directly hooked up to the generator on Strider's back, it will use all of that excess power to fire a powerful laser that deals double the damage that it took while it's EAS was activated. The conditions for this attack are "take damage while Special Ability is active." Special Ability: Energy Absorption Shield (EAS). Strider boosts its armor significantly at the cost of some firepower and speed... usually more on the latter than the former. But at the same time, it also gains energy from any damage that's inflicted to it, which can be used to temporarily boost the mech's current parameters as it's pilot sees fit, or initiate Revenge Blast. The energy that is gained with this doesn't have to be used right away, but it will start depleting if it's held for too long. Character Stats: Observance: 2. Morgan's glasses have opened up a new perspective for her (literally... she would almost be blind without them), allowing her to keep a sharp eye on her opponent to watch for any suspicious moves and/or reactions to gain the advantage. Reflex: 1. Ms. Belle has a bit of a sleight of hand when it comes to switching weapons, allowing her to have a bit more flexibility in combat. Social: 0. Being as shy as she is, Morgan doesn't have very good social skills. Nor can she really keep a secret. She's practically an open book, to be honest. Other: Morgan is very fond of many kinds of music. When you put together a good style of music with the right vocals, she'll practically go into a trance as she sits idly with her eyes closed, allowing her to better focus on the melody that plays before her. ...​ She also has a bit of a weakness to sweets surrounding the strawberry-flavored variety. AAaaaannndd... done... I think. Hopefully, that's everything. Let me know of I have to change anything and all that other signup jazz​ than I can't think of... unless that was actually it. I might change a few things here and there, but this is it for the most part. Until then, it's back to the Excera drawing board for me. ​

Sorry about that long silence, people. Something came up and I couldn't really respond and relay some info to you guys... nor could I really work on the RP at all. And for that, I apologize and get back to that as soon as I possibly can. But first, I would like to announce a couple of things... First off, I did decide to be generous and raise the starting level to 45. Just to be as clear as possible, This is just the highest level you can start off with for now. You can have Pokemon that start off at a lower level if you want to. Second, the limitations regarding the number of Pokemon will stay the same. You can start off with up to three, then you can have four when you obtain two badges, thenfive when you have four badges, then six Pokemon when you have six badges, then Mega Evolution will be available when you have all eight. That being said, the method of which they can be obtained is entirely up to you. You can take it out of the PC if you wish, or you can initiate a wild encounter as long as it's within reason. I'll set it up if it's through some sort of event. Third, both groups will most likely start off separate. This may have been obvious to some, but this is really just to confirm suspicions. And last but not least, which is also fourth... no... actually, that's it. Despite the few setbacks, I would like to set up the OOC in the next couple of weeks or so. Until then, I'll answer as many questions as I can. Thank you for your patience... if you had any.

Alright, so it's been at least a week since I put up the poll and as of when this post is... well... posted, that will mark the end of it. With that said, here is the poll and its results... Should this RP focus on two different groups, one consisting of the trainers and the other consisting of the resistance members, or should it be just one large group? Two groups. The separation of the two groups from time to time may prove to make the RP feel more complete. (1 votes [25.00%]) Just the one group. Having two or more might make things complicated. (1 votes [25.00%]) Let the Host decide for himself. (2 votes [50.00%]) ​ And the majority (which is two people out of the four... obviously) says that I should decide for myself. Which means that what I say goes... and my decision is, in short, a mix of the two. But for the sake of your amusement and me trying to not confuse anyone, I'll be more specific. This story will have two separate groups, but there will be times when these two groups will become one large group, such as when there's a gym in town or some other major event going on. That being said, there will also be other events that you can take on regardless of what group you're in, but the group of people participating in said event and/or the event itself is usually rather small and can happen at almost any time. These will be labeled as extra events... or something along those lines. And, if requested, there might also be a character specific event at certain points in the story as well for any of you who want to stray away from the main plot for a little while. These will be known as character events. Keep in mind that if you do have an idea for a character event, you should probably let me know ahead of time so we can build it up for when it actually happens. I'll put up more info for both of these when I put up the OOC if they become a thing. I have also been setting up things like the map of the Excera Region, it's gyms, and both factions among other things. The resistance will have a few Excelled among them and other Excelled, will be recruited further down the line. There are also rumors that there are some former Excelled among the organizations ranks as well. That's all that I'm going to mention on that topic for now. And now we move on to the gyms... For many reasons, Excera's gyms will not be type based like many of the others and might have a different set of rules. One good example would be one of the earlier gyms, which will be based on day and night. This gym will instead have two gym leaders, but you may battle them in the order of your choosing... or you can join up with someone else and challenge both leaders to a double battle. Defeating both of them will either net you a badge if you chose the former, or both participants if you chose the latter.

Well, given the idea of starting out as a veteran in this RP, I would have to say that you would probably start out with Pokémon at around the 40s. Probably at a maximum of level 45 if I'm feeling generous enough. But yeah. It's most likely going to be around the 40s. Maybe a little higher. Maybe a little lower. I'm still thinking about it. As for the question about the mega evolutions, I will allow megas as said in one of the posts above, but only after you collect all eight badges. Moving on to the unofficial megas: Given the right circumstances, I might allow them, but don't count on it. When mega evolutions are available, they will most likely just be the official ones. If, and that's a pretty big if, I allow unofficial megas, there will have to be very specific requirements to obtain their mega stones. Then again, there will probably be specific requirements for the official ones as well.

Hey. The more interest the better. It's only going uphill from here. Actually, I've been putting in more thought about what I should do with this RP in terms of how things are categorized in the story before I actually put anything into place. And by that, I mean if they should be separated into two groups, with one consisting of the veteran trainers and the other consisting of actual resistance members, or if it should just be one large group. And after seeing the pros and cons of both options, I've decided to put it to a poll... which should be up soon if it isn't already. But I did say that I would discuss a bit of the story and I don't want to keep you guys hanging. I think that it will be safe if I went further in depth with the Excel Program along with some of the organization's history. As you already know, the Excel Program was made as a challenge beyond that of the usual Elite Four challenge. The Excelled are seen as extremely strong Trainers. However, it goes much further into that. The Excel Program was originally made to help protect the people and resolve large scale situations that could not be handled by normal means. In short, the Excelled are supposed to be international peacekeepers, solving major problems and restoring order wherever they go. The idea first arose when Team Rocket took over Goldenrod City's radio tower, as this was the second time a crisis has been caused by a criminal organization in recent years. Granted, this is the second time by the same organization, but that only continues to prove the point. Unfortunately, no one ever supported the Project. Years upon years have risen and fallen. Teams Magma and Aqua in Hoenn, Team Plasma in Unova, Cipher in Orre... twice, and many others have risen and fallen. All of which have been thwarted by some up and coming Trainer... along with a few others, of course. But how long will that last? It wasn't until Lysandre and Team Flare tried to activate Kalos' ultimate weapon that Excera's officials, let alone anyone, opened their eyes to the situation and approved the Excel Program as a whole. Every Excelled exists to promote peace and restore order where it's needed. However, many people have different views of peace and order, sometimes causing conflict among themselves. One man went as far as to start up a large group based on imperialism, where you have to either abide by the rules, or be excessively punished for defying them. As his group grew in numbers and became more powerful, he also became blinded by this power. He got caught up in his own little world so badly that he couldn't see how much the chaos and corruption spread throughout the group. His arrogance eventually caught up with him when he was stabbed in the back by one of his top subordinates and executed on the spot. After that, this man had taken the place of his commander and turned this group into a very organized crime syndicate by gathering those that are or can be corrupted and purging the rest out of their ranks. Once that was over and done with, they set their sights on taking more ground as they spread their corruption throughout the land, which brings us to where we are today. And that's basically the short history of this RP. I'll build upon this and clean it up a bit before the RP starts, but this is more or less the idea of how things lead up to the present. Keep in mind that some of this info may change and move around a bit.

Well, it looks like I've got a decent amount of interest so far. Awesome. No, your character does not have to be interested in the League's challenges, but I am glad that you said that since the gym challenge does have a role to play other than just the badges. They are linked to those limitations that I mentioned earlier. In this RP, you will only start off with three Pokémon and gradually gain slots in their party depending on how many badges you currently have. This is really so everyone can get the Pokémon that they want, but I'm not entirely sure if I should put a limit on a Pokémon species. As in only one preson can have a Pokémon from the Charmander line, or only one person can have a Druddigon, etc. to prevent any sort of confusion. I'll probably end up doing that, but I'll think about that later. The limitations are most likely be like this: 0-1 badges, three Pokémon 2-3 badges, four Pokémon 4-5 badges, five Pokémon 6-7 badges, six Pokémon And once you have all eight badges, that's when you can Mega evolve one of your Pokémon. ... And I do believe that's it for the limitations. Details of the story itself will have to wait until later tonight or tomorrow.

...Hello? Is this thing on? Hello? Oh, wait... I'm typing... My bad. Hey, guys! This is Komodojoe coming to you from the other side of the computer screen. If for whatever reason you notice that the poster's name is different, it probably means that someone's assassinated me and has attempted to take my place. Either that, or I've changed my profile name... which I don't see happening anytime soon. If you're reading this, it either means that you've taken an interest or you're just here to listen to me ramble. Either way, I would like to say thanks for lending an eye​. G​et it? It's because you're reading and not... never mind. ​Bad jokes aside, I really do have something that I would like to share. As the topic implies, I will be introducing the concept of an RP here. And if said concept gains enough interest, I will begin to build it into an actual RP. And given some time, It will become an RP, which everyone will hopefully enjoy. So without further ado, let's get started with the concept... ​ This time, it's a Pokémon RP, taking place in the lesser known region of Excera with new places to see, a new Pokémon League with a new Gym challenge, and most importantly, a new kind of system known as the Excel Program, which goes beyond the usual Elite Four challenge, which obviously makes it more difficult than the E4. Not to mention that it is also said that the League is much more difficult than the more famous ones that you're used to. In this RP, you are a veteran Pokémon Trainer that has come to this region for a specific purpose, which is most likely to take on the League and become one of the few Excelled, a Pokémon Trainer that has conquered all of Excera's challenges, including the Excel Program itself. Or... you know... it could be for an entirely different reason. Or it could be for multiple reasons... I'm getting off track here, aren't I? *Ahem* Unfortunately, there's a snag that you weren't aware of: For quite some time, there has been a criminal organization hell bent on taking over the region. Not to mention that they have enough people and cunning to do so. And before you ask, no. This isn't some small and pitiful group like Team Rocket that can be thwarted by a ten year old. This region's officials have been fighting back, but they're slowly losing ground. Many towns, corporate buildings, and even one of the larger cities have been taken over, allowing crime and corruption to run rampant everywhere in every step that is taken. In the midst of all this chaos, there is a resistance growing to fight back in hopes of driving these criminals out entirely. The challenges and dangers get bigger the further you go. But then again, so do you and your party... but I'll get into that if this actually becomes a thing. For now, let's just say that there will be some limitations that will be slowly lifted as the story progresses. Since your goal and this resistance's goals most likely go hand in hand, your objective is to assist these people in bringing these people to justice and challenge the League as you go, and by extension, eventually bring the organization down and challenge the Elite Four and the Champion... which may or may not be in that order. I haven't decided yet. Regardless, the Pokémon League isn't what you're really aiming for, but it does bring you that much closer to your goal. Only after you defeat the Champion can you take on the Excel Program. Well, what do you guys think? It's just an idea at this point, so it's not perfect. Then again, what is? Do you like it?. Do you not like it? You can start at any time. So by all means, type away. Tell me what you think. Yes, you may speak (or in this case, type) the truth. What do you want to see? What don't you want to see? What would you like to suggest? Why am I asking so many questions? Why am I dragging this on far enough to keep you from typing?!? WHY AM I- ...Actually, why are you still reading this? I said you can start. Well... go on... SPEAK YOUR MIND!!!​

So many spoiler tabs... ​ ​​I was wondering when this will show up. It's a shame that we didn't get in right away, but it is what it is. Not that I'm complaining since everyone had good mechs to work with. Still, I'll keep an eye on this as it had my attention from day one. Congrats to everyone that made it in. And good luck.

Meh. Don't worry about it. I personally think that it's better when people take their time with these kinds of things. It feels a bit incomplete when people end up rushing it or release it too early. But when you put in enough time and effort, that's when things start to feel the way it should. So by all means, take as much time as you need.

I personally think that this might be a good fit for this guy: ​ I mean, the color scheme isn't too bad. It's really just those tiny black, beady eyes that bother me. Even with how small they are, they just seem to stand out too much in my opinion. ^ Also this. Clefable comes close too. If it wasn't for the little bit of green on it's ear tips, you would probably barely notice the color change.
