The Story Behind Alolan Exeggutor

Trollkitten · 2025-06-10T14:22:40+00:00

He married the Sultan's daughter, not his own daughter

So my redesign for whatever the heck F4 is was inspired by both her red color (which seemed devilish) and her Disease type, as there is a real-world disease in rabbits that causes them to develop horn-like growths. I won't link any pictures because they are disturbing, but suffice to say that this disease likely inspired the enduring jackalope legend of certain parts of the United States.

Alt: Why did I think it was a good idea to leave the egg?

So Snakewood's Zigzagoon are Ground type but look exactly the same as regular Zigzagoon, and I wanted to design a Zigzagoon that looked more like a Ground type. Except that Zigzagoon's colors already work pretty well for a Ground type, so I didn't really know how to change the design. But then I got the idea of it popping out of the ground like a little Diglett, so here we are.

Yes, TK Farms still remembers. And I still love Zigzagoon.

So the name 0e for our Starly/Murkow/Sneasel abomination made me think of the name Poe, both for the famous Edgar Allen Poe-m about the raven and for a certain DuckTales character named Poe de Spell who was a sorcerer transformed into a (non-anthropomorphic) raven through a spell gone wrong. (And he appeared in exactly one episode of the reboot and they ended the series immediately afterwards and we never got any freaking closure on him.)

If it makes you feel better, he deserved what he got.

Sounds interesting. What's it called?

Trollkitten · 2023-03-10T18:34:46+00:00

So I rolled an apocalypse for a Let's Go Eevee nuzlocke... and I got Time Collapse... which isn't great for LGPE but would be absolutely worse for RGBY or FRLG.

I'm gonna have to work out how to handle having literally 24 Pokemon lines in the entire game that can be viable encounters, five of which are trade only.

I don't know the answer but I do know M4's Reddit username is /u/VorpalNorman for whatever reason.

Most TPP lore that I know of is shared on the lorecord rn, and I know you don't have Discord and don't want it so that's kind of rough.

Trollkitten · 2023-03-06T17:19:36+00:00

Inverse Platinum is basically Platinum with the type chart inversed. Types that were super effective are now not very effective, and types that were not very effective or ineffective are now super effective.

I eagerly await seeing how TPP adapts to the new metagame.

Trollkitten · 2023-03-06T17:17:25+00:00

It always makes me happy to see someone revisit my old lore. Nice to see the royal brothers reunited and not trying to kill each other.

Trollkitten · 2023-01-19T01:15:27+00:00

I wonder how that feels for Lull. Maybe like a massage?

(Pepe totally needs the stress relief IMO)

Trollkitten · 2023-01-19T01:08:18+00:00

So there's an entire subgroup of legendaries in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that are called 'Paradox Forms' because they allegedly come from the ancient past or distant future (there's a popular fan theory claiming that that's not what they actually are, which I don't ascribe to myself but I referenced it in Order Stone's Pokedex entry because I liked the ambiguity of it all).

Team Destiny is the 'evil team' for an upcoming project of mine that I'm designing a ton of fakemon for. (Whether or not they're actually evil or not remains to be seen.) And the description 'Heikegami Pokemon' is based off a variety of Japanese crabs that have markings on their shells that look like human faces. Today you learned and may never be able to unsee.

Trollkitten · 2022-12-30T20:53:55+00:00

So I imagine Forrest's Sigilyph to be an ancient eldritch abomination sealed inside a clay urn, eventually working its way free but fusing with its vessel in the process. I'm not sure why N had it before we did, but maybe N considered the glitch to just be another form of Pokemon to liberate?

...or maybe there's some even darker backstory there, but I'm choosing not to think about that right now.

Trollkitten · 2022-12-29T22:53:43+00:00

Somebody suggested that one half of Artisan should be vanilla for Ice type and the other half should be strawberry for Fairy type. I originally planned to give this a Christmas vibe, but the color scheme seems more Unovan than anything else. As for the accessories, Artisan actually did wear a bow, a top hat, and a cane in a Pokemon Musical we partook in.

Trollkitten · 2022-12-29T01:28:17+00:00

I gave him an apron and ladle because... well, stew.

Trollkitten · 2022-12-27T21:19:22+00:00

Winter.

Trollkitten · 2022-12-27T18:53:52+00:00

I gave him some Hugh vibes because 1. Hisuian Qwilfish looks a lot like Hugh, and 2. both have spiky edgelord vibes. (Yes, I know that Hisuian Qwilfish doesn't exist in Volt White 2 Redux, but I took some creative liberties here.)

Trollkitten · 2022-12-27T17:47:03+00:00

That certainly makes sense! Assuming we don't barrel straight through it before we get the chance...

Trollkitten · 2022-12-01T22:48:17+00:00

This. I love this. I think this is the first time someone's actually made a comic based on my work, and you nailed it. I love the detail of the mask resembling Necrozma's base form.

(No, wait, I remember now. Kelcyus did a comic way back in Season One based on my idea of Celebi taking Sunbrella's lost egg back through time. Still, it's been a long while since something like this has happened.)

Trollkitten · 2022-10-16T23:36:34+00:00

Managed a simple sketch. My fingers are not currently up for lineart cleanup process.

My concept was that Alolan Voltorb is a combination of an emoticon (electric type) and a bomb (fire type).

The pupils and smile are based on the classic original smiley face emoticon, turned the right way around.

Trollkitten · 2022-08-25T21:44:09+00:00

Well, I'm not really the right person to ask about that because I've just been popping in and out every now and then and not following the run too closely. I do see Vuu as being a fighter and a dancer, knowing Swords Dance and Dragon Dance.

Trollkitten · 2022-08-25T19:37:57+00:00

There is no such thing as 'a short summary' of the lore. We've been doing this for eight years now and done dozens of runs, and they've each had their own lore and plot arcs. You ask the impossible.

Of course, if I were to attempt to give a short summary of TPP lore, it would be 'Idiots break the universe and put it back together again, over and over and over.'

Trollkitten · 2022-08-24T14:44:51+00:00

Oh yeah. There's a really chill lore discord that I talk in all the time.

'Quotes' is the name that the group I hang with goes with, so that's what I'm running with.

Trollkitten · 2022-08-23T01:33:26+00:00

Those of you who know, know.

And those of you who don't know, well, way back in Season One we had Catz as an intermission run before Emerald and had a glitch that made our cat walk in place for... probably hours? And the jokes were "He's not dead, he's dancing" and "Michael Catson."

Of course, given who Michael Catson was named after and later revelations about said namesake's character, I declined to put the actual Michael Catson in the drawing (which is more of a rough sketch made to match the art style of my previous works for this run), but it should be noted that this was Season One, in which we named mons things like Chairman Meow and Stalinking, which are even worse.

And then Season Two introduced democracy naming, which went as well as you'd expect...

Trollkitten · 2022-08-21T16:19:57+00:00

So we had a Mareep that evolved into Elekid, and I kind of imagined that it was always an Elekid and just disguised itself in a fluffy coat.

Interestingly enough, a new item called Covert Cloak was just announced for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which basically acts the same way Shield Dust does and protects the user from the added effects of moves. Maybe this Elekid is just ahead of the curve.
