Description
Woop! Finished my redesign idea for Tsukaimon! Which (if I had the choice) I'd rename Henchmon cos that's both a literal translation and a Damn Good Pun...Or maybe I should just make it a separate species entirely cos it looks pretty darn different?
Anyway, other related stuff here:
This lil guy is my OC nicknamed Pirate, a lil baby Henchmon with a scary Diaboromon mum! Unfortunately he's been infected by a glitch and become one of the scary Defect Digimon. (The bad guys of my fangame story) However he's still just a perfectly innocent nice kid who doesn't really understand why everyone's all "OH NOES A DEMON" just because he wants to drink their blood slightly! How mean! He should write an angry letter to them!! xD
Despite his glitchy strangeness and craving to devour other digimon, he's pretty much a shy, nieve, easily frightened and totally clueless cuddleblob who couldn't be dangerous even if he tried XD His attempts to nibble on your arm can be warded off with just a bop on the nose with a newspaper or "Eat your vegetables first!" XD
Pirate's favorite hobby is flying around running errands for his mum and delivering mail to the neighbours to get a lil extra pocket money. He likes being zoomy floaty everywharr!!
His name partially comes from his one black eye marking looking vaguely like an eyepatch, and partly because he has an abnormal talent for sneaking around and stealing stuff. He somehow defies the laws of reality to always be underfoot whenever you open the kitchen door XD And somehow all your shiny things and snacks will vanish out of your purse before you even see him move a muscle! (But he's good natured and just miscievious, he sees it as a game and will give everything back if you just ask.)
So cos of all this, he has an ambition to be a sky pirate when he grows up. But a good guy sky pirate! Like Robin Hood! (he's very fond of human fairy tales)
And his mum's ambition is to somehow cure him of his curse, so he can live out those dreams ^_^

This little guy sounds less like a corrupt/glitchy evil digimon and more like a child virus digimon(basically, a normal digimon). Β I really like his personality and I just want to hug him(an at the same time, secure my candy/eat it before he steals it).

I know, right? That was basically the point, he's totally harmless and more like Guilmon. (I.e, a virus type who's kinda strong and possibly creepy but also a sweetheart)
He sorta exists just to be the alternate viewpoint. Like, here's some evil glitchy villains, and a cute glitchy baby whose only crime is swiping candies, haha! (SECURE THE CANDIES IN THE CANDY VAULT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE)

*eaten all the candy already*Β
He also reminds me of puppet digimon a lot due to his stitched up appearance.Β

Yep, that's what I was going for! I always love the toy type digimon and it sucks that there aren't very many of them.

YAY A COOKIE!!
Yeah, i could never remember how to spell/pronounce tsukaimon XD That's why I think it really needed to be actually dubbed. Same for the vast majority of digimon names, I have no clue why they decided to leave all that untranslated japanese that means nothing to an english audience and is unnecessarily hard for children to remember
I mean, you can't say its accuracy. It'd only be accuracy if all the names were incomprehensible nonsense in japanese too, but no they're actually perfectly basic and understandable if you know the language. Its stupid to retain the original japanese at the cost of all the actual meanings of the names
π: 0 β©: 1
pretty much right, maybe you should try out some english based names? see how they roll. i dont get it with dubs sometimes, they change some names but keep other in their original japanese, i knows its understandable for names like ryu (street fighter) which means dragon or mugen (samurai shamploo) which is infinity. but when your dealing with a mass amount of names that arent on a personal level there needs to be a more understable naming system, even pokemon do a better job of that
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, exactly!
Pokemon would be incomprehensible if I had to remember that Fugishidane beats Zenigame or whatever. (I'm pretty damn sure I spelt those both wrong)
So I don't see why digimon can get away with having ginryuumon and modokibetamon etc etc >____________>
In japanese, those names are just ordinary puns and descriptions. Absolutely no magical sacred reason why they can't be changed to actually make sense in english, since the whole POINT is describing the monster...
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah i know reason why dubs annoy me
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah >_> Its like.. they're annoying because they refuse to actually DUB things. Instead they just change things that don't need to be changed >_>
Can we just get an actual translation not changing the story??
π: 0 β©: 1
yep main another reason i perfer fansubs over dvdsubs, cause people doing the translating know they are doing
π: 0 β©: 1
Definately! Well, its more like fansubbers CARE about what they're doing. They care about accuracy. They're not just trying to make quick money with a shoddy product >_>

yeah and they choose which words to leave as japanese or to put in english. like bleach, they always be shinigami to me, not death gods or soul reapers. to me shinigami was just the best word for thier role
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. If a word's gonna remain in japanese its because the word is USEFUL and UNDERSTANDABLE and has a meaning that can't necessarily be delivered in english.
Personally I felt that soul reapers was okay in Bleach even if it doesn't sound as cool. It gets the gist across. But I don't like people who call the shinigami in Death Note soul reapers or whatever, cos they're pretty clearly death gods and not a guy in a hood with a scythe who collects the dead. They're all about CAUSING the dead, instead XD
Incidentally, I don't mind when people just literally translate it as "death gods". But it does lose a lot of pizazz cos it sounds generic. Like "he is a god of death" not "he is specifically a japanese magical creature named a god of death". I mean, you can call Anubis a god of death but he isn't a shinigami XD
Also, shinigami just sounds awesome. Its a word you wanna say over and over again! SHINIGAMI!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
exactly and it just rolls of that tongue plus it has that genderless touch to it considering good dead deal of em are female though affix would -megami though they arent really gods or goddess'sΒ in first place that doesnt really matter but translated it does become gender specific pretty quick as usual
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep! Lots of japanese is genderless, since they tend to show gender through choice of personal pronoun instead. So it ends up weird in our language where we only have one word for "I" or "myself" yet EVERYTHING ELSE is gendered

i know which at times can get frustrating not just on the english side but the japanese side too. main reason why i want to learn japanese so i can better understand it without having to rely on translations
π: 0 β©: 1
I know that feel, bro! Its my dream career to learn a language and then maybe work as a dubber helping others to appreciate the story of all my fave games in english ^_^
However I have no aptitude for language 
π: 0 β©: 1
im the opposite, i have learnt multiple languages though they mostly forgotten from the lack of use. the only problem with language if you dont use it you lose it. use to know french, russian and latin pretty well and use to have a friend that was teaching me arabic. all i really remember now are few words and phrases

May I ask how hench is a pun? I've heard the word used but really have no idea what it means.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, its a pun on the japanese name XD Hench is a pun, Henchmon is. (Henchman XD As in "my loyal henchman, Igor! Throw the switch!! IT IS ALIIIVE")
The japanese name just means "messenger/assistant", and its a dark digimon that hangs with demons. This delightfully coincidental name becomes the architypical word that villains call their assitants XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, okay, yeah I get it. I could see the henchmon/henchman thing, but thought the pun was somethign to do with the hench bit rather than the whole name XD

Lol, bunni's inability to write has once again claimed another victim!
ALL SHALL BE CONFUSED BY MY BABBLE
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol, no, I was just dumb XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol no, its not just you who gets confused when I talk XD
I am the dumb XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I can confuse people when I talk. Right now I'm getting worked up about my pokemon. I have two Charmander who have the perfect natures for what I want to train them for, but they're not originally from my game! So I can't name them and do like naming my pokemon... So now I don't know if I should just not name any of my pokemon. I never name legendaries, after all.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh god I know that feel!! It frustrates me so much that I can't rename "REAPER" to Reaper, because he came from Pokemon Collossuem and I lost the game and the memory card about four house-moves ago
Inconsistancy is really frustrating, but I just decided to go with it and keep naming everyone whatever I want. Cos really, if you refuse to name anyone cos you can't name two pokemon, its just multiplying those two frustratey unrelateys into an entire game of them
I recently didn't name anyone except mains on my Pokemon Y, out of frustration cos I had to restart the game halfway through. And I really wish I hadn't done it cos it makes me kinda sad to see all these boxes of identityless characters 
I know its childish
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol, pokemon is a children's game that hates children XD Some of those pokedex entries are freaky! Like Phantump, a stump with a child's soul inside or something XD
My OCD can't stand it, that's the problem XD
I saw this in someone's signature the other day and thought of you:Β I don't calculate stat values, nor do I care about natures. I just catch my Pokemon the way they are, and play the game normally.
I'd like to competition battle, at least with Paul, but I don't get overly hung up on it because I want to use pokemon I like whereas the metagame forces you into certain pokemon. However, you do need a team that works together, which at least gets me using pokemon I normally don't. I have a perfect IV Dratini and found a Black and White moveset which uses the Calm nature that it has, so I'm thinking of training her and a team to go with her. Sadly, it's for a Rain team which means I have to run Rain Dance. Politoed will be interesting to train, but all it's B/W sets (and probably all the X/Y sets once they're written) will use it's hidden ability of Drizzle. Not too bad if I know someone who has a water friend safari with Poliwhirl and I've been onlline at te same time as them, but Drizzle still only lasts for 5 turns now, so all that will be saved is one turn becasue I don't have to use Rain Dance and one moveslot.
A load of pokemon don't have movesets done for them because no one in their right mind would ever comp battle with them... But I'm gonna do it anyway! XD
I can feel able to give them characters without needing to name them 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yuuup XD I like the creepy pokedex entries though! XD But then again I generally like stories about scary ghosts that're also cute as heck XD
MOST ADORABLE DEAD CHILD EVERRRRR! XD
Yeah
Yep, that's me! XD I don't look down on people who play the game all elite though, I just don't wanna do it. I dislike people who act like jerks to those who DO wanna do values and natures and breeding.
I think the metagame completely sucks >__> It should be about having fun, not fitting some stupid ideal of the most powerful pokemon otherwise you're not allowed to play >__>
People who wanna play normally and people who wanna EV train should all be allowed to battle! There should be separate tourneys for different play styles and stuff...
That's what overused/underused/etc tiers were supposed to be, but the tacticians just invaded all of them and dominated them with whatever is the most powerful pokemon in that group
But yeah, I dunno much about everything you just talked about so um... sounds nice? XD Hope you have fun with that party setup! Just don't try and explain the strategy to me, it'll all fly over my head lol XD
Yay, underdogs! I do kinda enjoy the videos of people beating the eliteists with bizzare move combinations, but its depressing that as soon as you think up an underdog strategy its immediately copied by everyone and becomes the new overused strategy
Nuu, your names are the best!! :<
I always just name mine after puns and my OCs and brands of yogurt XD
π: 0 β©: 1
They are funny! XD
Yeah, these problems are stinkers when you just want to enjoy yourself.
I might make one team to put in the battle box, and train a few of my favourites, but there will probably be at least another generation of games by the time I even get partway through all the available pokemon XD
Everyone should be allowed to play the games as they choose
EV training is now more accessible if you put in the effort with the training minigames, so there should be tiers based on IVs and such, seeing as that's probably the defining thing. Perhaps that should call it 'competitive' and 'friendly'. Oh, new game mechanic, every non-breedable pokemon such as legendaries and babies are no guaranteed at least 3 perfect IVs, which is pretty cool, whilst all pokemon from friend safaris have at least 2
Yeah, I would rather have all my pokemon able to work separately so that I could switch between them as I wanted and put together teams. If I make a 'Rain' Dragonite then I need specific pokemon in specific roles to go with it. It's all based on what each pokemon does best stat-wise as a species, but if I need raining weather to improve the accuracy of my attacks then it limits who I can pair my Dragonite with. So perhaps I should change to weaker attacks which have more accuracy, and then I have more team flexibility... But there's not much point having a team full of attackers with no strategy if you come up against eliteists. You generally at least need something that can rapid spin to clear entry hazards like spikes :/ Hmm, I'll have to consider this.
Yeah, I will EV train that Caterpie! XD I used to love the Little Cup on Stadium
Eheheh, I try! Lol, that's funny XD Yogurt XD I was thinking of doing some sort of name based on species or things that pokemon were based on for the ones I don't normally name XD
π: 0 β©: 1
So creepy they become cutey yay!!
Yup
Pokemon has such a diverse fanbase of different styles! I love it!
Yeah, its so difficult to make certain roles cos you need the rest of the team to be different roles, etc etc ad naseum...
I love the lil cup too ^_^ I liked back when they used to do goofy gimmicky tourneys...
Yakult is the perfect name for a Piloswine XD
Speaking of strangely funny creepyness, I just heard this weird song genalovestoons.tumblr.com/postβ¦
Sounds like something Rush would sing (since he's an immortal zombie after all)
Rush: Here, have my eyeballs.
Jayus: Uhh... thanks? But I've already eaten...
Rush: ITS MEANT TO BE ROMANTIC. TAKE THEMMMM
