Rummy Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 EDIT: Meant to post this in creative, can a kind mod sweep it over there? Wasn't sure whether this was general board, or awesome/funny thread sub-material, but I've decided to give it its own thread here as I know we have a number of pokefans here(along with the excellent Fakemon by Hamishmash), and I think it's an absolutely fantastic idea. The basic gist is, somebody who hasn't really played pokemans before has decided to take up trying to draw them, based on submitted descriptions, and see how accurate they are. It seems so simple, yet I find it fascinating. I guess the somewhat crude art style of the pokeymans makes it all the more amusing. Not just the drawings are funny, but some of the descriptions too. what is the best description you've received so far?My favorite was when my friend described Magmar to me. I don’t remember everything she said (it produced a pretty accurate drawing) but the best part was: “it’s a duck, but its head is a butt, and the butt is on fire.” http://thepokeymansproject.tumblr.com/
bob Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 This is awesome, i saw this on her original Tumblr page thingy. The best one was Mawile, hilarious. I kind of wish we could turn it into a game here, but i doubt there are many people on here who don't know all the pokemans. could maybe do it for the last couple of generations though, i personally don't know any after generations 3...

I think I liked it becasue it's slightly similar to the process of paper telephone, although on a much smaller scale. I was totally thinking about trying to do something similar here, maybe with different source material or something. Personally I'm fairly shakey on most things post gen 1 bar the most famous; however the bigger limitation is my drawing ability :p
bob Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Maybe we could do it so one person describes a pokeyman from generation 5 or soemthing, and then we all go off and draw it, and the PM it to the describee, and then they post all of them with hilarious results?
Hamishmash Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I've tried to describe Tropius and Stunfisk to her but she's never selected mine. I follow like... 3 of her blogs though and everything she does is hilarious and derpy.
