A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Happy Birthday Marston!
@Wryte: You're really upping the detail quickly!
Speaking of comics, I recently did my first parody comic, which was also pokemon related. It was apparently very funny and I got requests for more!
Understood. Maybe ease up a little to prevent burnout?
Okay. It might be a bit difficult to understand without context (or that might just make it funnier. I don't know). But here we go
. I can explain it if necessary.
Some background:
One of the biggest villains in TPP is Bill
He is often referred to as "Lord Bill"
He has a few humans (such as Lanette) and pokemon (Such as Zigzagoon, Trapinch and Apostruchu the pikachu) who work for him
The current protagonist is Aoooo the werewolf (Were-Mightyena?)
A previous protagonist, Alice, is his estranged daughter (that he recently kidnapped)
A "big name" in the fandom is "Zetsu The First" who makes a series of comics called "Bill Sanctioned Shenanigans" starring Bill
He also makes comics about an abomination called "Domealakazam" who is always running for president and murdering things
His Catchphrase of sorts is "May I interest you ... in some murder?"
Recently, someone started to impersonate him. Zesu found this amusing, and so did many other people, so very quickly, it became common to "pretend to be" Zetsu The First.
This is my version of that
Does that explain it?
EDIT: Bill's biggest enemies are "The Voices" (us) and the gods (such as Amber and Dome). He used to work for Dome, but betrayed her.

I still need to catch up on the Platinum lore. I no a few things, like Nepolian being the Comically Serious and constantly gambles.
Platinum is widely loved. It's thought of as having the best character arc so far. Napoleon is a Kalosian immigrant to Sinnoh which was basically Mordor with ice.
He decided to conquer Sinnoh and make it into a better place, but he did not like pokemon due to bad experiences in his past. He only saw them as his army.
Meeting Cheryl and developing a friendship with his Budew (Sunbrella) started him on the path to loving pokemon. Eventually, he chose not to catch Uxie, but to rather give it a doll as a present.
His team was The Court of the Sun. Cynthia was his mentor. Bebe and Aaron were antagonists, but weren't malicious. Just misguided. Cyrus had a similar role to canon, but was even more powerful, able to do things like weakening the powers of The Voices.
Napoleon's togepi, Princess KK Roy mostly played in the daycare.
Queen Sunbrella (eventually a roserade) and Solareon the Flareon were our two signature mons. Solareon broke the curse of fire and became the strongest on the team, but was involved in a sex scandal as Sunshine Sparkles the shinx was courting him and he had an egg with the mysterious Agent 006, the bibarel who replaced our previous bidoof, Napaw, who was released in very sad circumstances.
Zigzagoon was spying on us while disguised as a bidoof and had become fond of Napaw. This convinced him to become more serious in his mission to stop The Voices.
Our team also got pokerus, starting with Sunshine Sparkles and Captain Steve Unova, the shadowslayer: An immigrant bronzong supersoldier. Steve was best friends with Moonbat, who drank lots of coffee to stay awake while his team was working. His brother, Happybat, stayed in the PC.
EDIT:
Yeah. They both use Leaf's appearance (though, it's common to draw Alice with glasses). As I said, Alice has a very different personality though.

Dark- Platinum is over. You have more catching up to do then you think.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Yah. Platinum is over. We're on Heart Gold now. Randomised again. And the streamer has told us that he's thinking of making us fight Alice like AJ had to fight TPP's Red. That would be awesome, but an insane challenge. Everyone's been saying how Alice would completely mop the floor with us at the rate we're going. She has a Mew, a non-truant Slaking that knows fly and maxed-out return, a Blastoise, an Altaria, a Masquerein that knows hyperbeam and a Sandslash with flame body.
We could probably handle it. And doesn't the friendship value for enemy trainers' pokemon default to 0? That reduces the threat of Return, at least.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/I don't know about that.
Personally, I'm quite eager for the challenge, both to see how far Alice has come and because of how good it'll feel to finally beat her, but it's going to be really tough. Especially with out poor typing at the moment. (Aoooo is obsessed with ground and rock types and only has a Noctowl and a Xatu to bolster them).
Maybe if we still had Kenya. But now that he's gone, I expect HG to take even longer than Emerald.
Also, no Democracy to optimize our team. This is going to be good.
It occurred to me that the stream is basically going the way the complainers always wanted. Constantly complaining about OP mons? Well we just murdered Kenya and now have to beat a level 82+ Slaking in the Hail with much weaker mons. Constantly democracy ruining the stream? Now we have to face our greatest challenge ever with no democracy.
Are you not entertained?

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWhat would be hilarious is if we somehow manage to get another legendary. The odds are very low though.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHmm. What if the movesets aren't carried over from Fire Red?
Also, I bought a muffin for a snack earlier. Just one individual muffin. You know what the serving size on the wrapper is listed as? Half a muffin. I don't know what to say to that.
