Been thinking about this a lot, I wanna write something that’s just basically Gates’ equivalent to Sky’s postgame. New Pokemon to meet, Paradise’s growth, Mist Continent lore, how Partner shapes up to be a great leader, and more!

Also, maybe leading up to the point where PSMD’s events take place…?

Since there are other Voices of Life during Gates, why was Hydreigon the only one to summon all those humans?

Considering the agents of spirits being mentioned in Rescue Team… Are they related somehow? Would Hydreigon be the head of such a group, second only to Xerneas, the Pokemon of Life itself?

On that note about yesterday, since Noe Town has the most drastic elevation changes of any town in PSMD, what if they made funicular railways for cargo transport? They have the abundance of metal to work with and they have all that water for a counterweight!

Would be a great precursor for trains…

I was wondering why Baram and Capim Town are near Pokemon Square and Treasure Town on their respective continents in the world map.

I assume it would take a day’s time to travel between the two places, so why aren’t the latter two the main port towns? I think the simple answer’s geography.

Thinking about PMD’s setting and technology got me to researching some pretty neat things we have developing in our world.

Did you know that there’s mycelium based leather? Or hemp based concrete?

A more naturalistic setting would probably come up with solutions like these, at least I hope so.

I’d like to think that the PMD world is a post-human setting, but strictly not a post-post-apocalyptic one. Too dreary xwx

The closest thing I can explain it is like how the Dwarves disappeared in Elder Scrolls, no huge war or anything caused it to happen, and I feel it’s a better mystery that way.

Quick little doodle of the Expedition Society’s Chief, cause it’s Ampharos day!

Fitting that it’s Lighthouse Day as well, because the Society is in a town with a lighthouse as one of its main landmarks!

Gates thought! The Mist Continent is the only place where all TMs are infinite use (naturally too, using the Magnagate function)! Could Mysteriosity be the cause of their durability?

Sure, they’re also present in Super, but only exclusive to Kecleon shops. Perhaps an import from that continent?

Drawing linework on physical paper then digitally coloring it is a hecka cool way to make art, I think I gotta try that someday!

Hm, I wonder how Zorua/Zoroark conjure illusions in PMD. After all, Uxie had that illusion of Groudon that was just as convincing as the real thing, moveset and all.

Does it work on the same principle as that, only to a lesser degree? Not only visual, but perceived as physical to some extent?

Thinking about the world map! Although it’s not likely the devs ever really considered that all the PMD games happen in the same world before PSMD, maybe there was a bit of foresight involved!

After all, why would the cold icy places be north of the Air Continent and south of the Grass Continent?

If the knowledge of humans and the things they left behind passed around often in the PMD world, they would probably be a thing of academic study, right?

Would that field called the Humanities? The Air Continent would be a central hub for it, considering the Decrepit Lab and Power Plant there….

I should play video games less, I get too obsessed with completing everything I can in just only one of them for a week ;w;

Sometimes I like to think Swirlix from the Expedition Society is one of the best cooks in the world, but she’s a high maintenance for high results type of person.

Yeah, it sucks having some of that food being eaten before you get to it, but it’s worth it to have high quality stuff every night.

Just saw a comment that basically made this reference on a vid on Sky’s OST, so naturally I found it too good to not draw!

If a PMD Explorers remake ever comes out, what I’m most excited for the new art they’re gonna make for the items, especially the Exclusive Items if they keep them in!

We only got official art for only a few of them, but imagine if we got to see what a Water Float or Defend Globe would look like!

Best part of being a PMD fan for me is looking at all of the new Pokemon and forms that get revealed and going “oh yeah, that’ll make an excellent character for my story, none of that Trainer nonsense”
