Hero and Partner Week 2025 - Interest Check

This is the interest check for Hero and Partner Week's 2025 event. Thank you for taking the time to fill out this form! I want to make this

spin this list of all of the pokemon. you are now that pokemon.

Reblog and write in the tags which villain’s actions you don’t support (hopefully), but you understand them. You get it.

Alright research time.

So I've noticed some trends from fire emblem fans and I need to know

Explanation under the cut

So I chose these franchises because I've noticed that a lot of FE blogs are at least a fan of one of these other franchises, so wanted to have a sample size of which franchise is the most popular with FE fans.

Also I am not including Pokemon cause it's the most popular franchise on earth.

Cursed with being a Pokemon fan so sometimes I think about what kind of Pokemon game I’d make if I had any skills in making fangames.

For the region itself, I’m torn between having a desert region, a cold region with snow almost everywhere, or going wild and having the region be a bunch of floating islands. I wouldn’t base it on a real place just so I can go nuts and also I’m dumb so floating islands are possible. I like the idea of a colder region since I’m from what’s supposed to be a colder area (used to have tons of snow each winter but there was barely any this year), but Sinnoh and even Galar are already cold regions. A desert region would be unique since while the hotter regions of Hoenn and Alola do have desert areas, those regions as a whole are more tropical.

Story wise, I don’t think I’d include an evil team, just don’t have any ideas for one. There might be some random crooks you fight but they’re not part of any bigger group. Maybe I’d have a solo villain like Volo or the AI Professor but I’m not sure. Story would just be about you and your pals going on a journey together. I’d like the main rival to be a Brendan/May type where there’s a bit of implied romance between them and the protagonist, but there’s more stuff going on with them. Unsure of what to do with the second rival other than they exist and that there aren’t any more.

Making fakemon isn’t my specialty, but for the amount of new Pokemon I’d say at least 100? I get why newer gens don’t introduce as many new Pokemon as older ones but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Two ideas for the Grass starter, one would be a Grass/Rock hedgehog with quills made of rocks/maybe crystals, the other would be some kind of crocodile/alligator because I like Totodile and Fuecoco and think the trio should be completed. Fire starter could be a Fire/Steel sheep because of the golden fleece/steel wool. Got nothing for the Water starter or any other Pokemon in general.

THE XENOBLADE X PORT IS REAL

EVERYONE WHO'S ONLY PLAYED THE NUMBERED GAMES YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOW

No submitted propaganda for either entry

Another Lao supporter here, he's around for a good chunk of the games. Everyone else is only around for a chapter or two at best, I'm pretty sure Alvis is only present for one fight. Lao is also just a really good character, I'd say more I don't want to spoil things since most people haven't played X. A lot of people have played 1 though, so spoilers under the cut for that game.

Get Fiora OUTTA HERE SHE COMES BACK AND STAYS FOR THE REST OF THE GAME. I know in gameplay Homs Fiora is considered a separate character from Mecha Fiora, but it doesn't feel right saying she's a temporary party member when she isn't actually gone for the whole game.

We're getting previews now for Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition (and I'll make a post about the stuff I saw later) but one thing that I already noticed:

You can change party members at any time, and we're getting more playable characters. The original version "only" had 19, and this menu shows 22.

Thinking about a Persona 3 Arcana Swap AU.

Went to that wheel of names thing to randomly pick the new Arcana, here's the lineup.

Fool Fuuka

Lovers Kotone

Magician Akihiko

Emperor Ken

Priestess Aigis

Empress Yukari

Chariot Junpei

Strength Shinjiro

Justice Mitsuru

Hierophant Koromaru

Already decided on making Aigis a human and Junpei a robot. Priestess!Aigis is named Aina Shiratori, Chariot!Junpei might be named Adamant or Jupiter, or maybe I'll find a better name for him. Still unsure on the situations with Ken and Mitsuru (do they keep their original ages or is Ken a teenager and Mitsuru a child now), and Shinjiro and Koromaru (do they swap species, and how does October 4th go down regardless of what species they end up as).
