The only thing you can make candies from is spiritual material, and what's more likely: that The Professor has enormous fields of unwanted pokemon he's using for experiments and nothing else, or he has enormous fields of unwanted pokemon he's using for experiments and raw material for species-specific buffing candies? 😁

He's won in the Orange Islands, becoming a league champion- ... but only because he was the only person competing that year and so got to challenge the previous champion directly. Then in the alola region he won their first ever league championship, as Alola was not part of the league until literally just that year. And 30 years prior Alola was an uncontacted region that didn't even know the League exists, having no interaction or awareness of Kanto. They only know to start looking because Ash traveled back in time to tell them about his home.

To be honest, I've always liked this one-mon-per-man approach, closer to the Digimon anime rather than what Pokemon does because of how much easier it is to build the mon as characters.

Oh my god, same. The one kind of game I've always wanted to play was one where you play as a pokemon and kind of just fuck around in the wild. And yet there are *none*. Every fangame wants to copy the style of the mainlines. Every TTRPG adaptation wants to try and emulate the way the core games work instead of doing their own thing. It's really bizarre considering how many furries there are that would totally be into that for...more nefarious reasons than the normal fans. Although now that I say it, I think you might actually have some luck finding a homemade system for that by asking around furry communities. Just be sure to specify that you're *not* into yiff.

I don't know if it's still around but I played a TTRPG like that called Pokemon Tabletop United, it was very fun as trainers had their own classes that affected battles. It's definitely its own game though and works a bit differently from DnD.

[@johnduquette7023]

I've played it, can confirm it's good

[@323starlight]

In terms of Pokémon TTRPGs, there are three unofficial ones. Pokemon Tabletop United, a d6 system that's very rules heavy. Pokerole, a d6 system that's rules lite and has a Mystery Dungeon Supplement And Pokémon 5e which takes DnD 5e and adds a 'Trainer' class and has a bunch of mechanics for Pokémon. Its somewhere in the middle between rules lite and rules heavy. Sadly this one is no longer available due to a CnD by WotC.

[@joec9693]

5e can still be found around the internet while all the official servers were shut down it basically just led to everyone kinda spreading it to as many places across the internet as they could but nothing new will be added so no Gen 8 and beyond stat blocks but Gen 1-7 plus adventures can be found.

It's just one on one dnd right now but hopefully another friend will join soon.

[@Skimmer951]

The trainer fighting with their companion theme is actually pretty prevalent in the pokemon manga, where a lot of the fights involves the trainers running with the pokemon as they tarversed the terrain as th ebattle continued and pokeball throwing was very important as you needed a lot of power to switch or get the pokemon into a good position and a lot of the different protagonists had different way to engage in the fights and throw their pokeballs. Also, the spin off games pokemon mystery dungeon is also really easy to adopt into dnd as it is literally into exploring and adventuring, as the pokemon themselves. They create teams even. Ive been tempted for so long to make a dnd campaign based on mystery dungeon, explorers in particular as the guild focused narrative is easy to form a narrative around.

[@aramisdagaz9]

Shoutout from a fellow Bulbasaur main. An alternate pokemon-themed campaign would be the party actually playing pokemon with the DM as the trainer. It’s going to be a railroaded campaign at first, but since the party aren’t confined to their pokeballs most of the time, they have some ability to communicate with and influence their trainer to get them to do what they want (the trainer is probably kinda dumb, making them open to manipulation). Very much a pets walking the master thing.

here's something simple you could do to substitute the type weaknesses and stuff; vulnerabilities and resistances.

And the "strong against and weak against" pokemon mechanic will be decided by rock-paper-scissors or the naruto chakra nature thing. Because why not?

[@marleykeymer8929]

I had a similar idea a while back. Instead of companion pokemon or playing as the pokemon (though I have done that one as well), I started on turning every ability and move into magic items. That way you can outfit yourself in the most easily integratable parts of pokemon. I've also been procrastinating for the better part of two years over it so I'm only halfway through the abilities :(

Years ago, my best friend started making an excel spreadsheet that would generate all the info needed for any Pokemon in DnD , including EVs, IVs, Natures, Hidden Abilities, and even whether it would be shiny or not.

[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

To me, there's two ways to start a Pokémon D&D campaign: a) do like Ash and have a small, but dedicated, team of Pokémon (hard limit of 6, or maybe some kinda point-buy system to discourage having a whole team of Legendaries or something) or b) cut out the middleman and just do a Mystery Dungeon-style campaign where the players ARE the Pokémon. I guess, if you had a really ambitious DM who really wanted to go full Psycho Mode, you could take the rarely used Plan C and do a Réburst campaign where you take on the *power* of a Pokémon and still do the fighting that way, but that would require a total overhaul of the class system and probably make everyone some form of magic user or magic/martial hybrid; there's also Pokémon Ranger, I guess, but that's a different thing. Fighting side-by-side WITH Pokémon, though, is a new one.

[@iBloodxHunter]

If anybody is interested in listening to a Pokemon dnd campaign, I've found a pretty good one by 'Boarding Party'. It's a lot more focused on the typical Pokemon aspects than the fantasy dnd stuff, but it's got over 100 episodes out and the story is great imo.

[@iBloodxHunter]

I liked it but it's too..... vanilla. I mean mechanically specifically. None of the combat flowed well, the base DnD mechanics just don't suit a game based around pokemon. It inspired me! If you want to play your own game, I have the solution for you! Just take the classic pokemon games and use it in the dnd system. Four moves, an ability and they have the initiative not the pc. It's amazing how smooth it all works together because the moves have to do different things than they do in game involving the 3d space like knockback, fall damage and area denial. Then you twist it up even more and take anime and manga rules, so pokemon don't JUST evolve through a certain method.

[@elizabethchambers9137]

@@iBloodxHunter Yeah, I can see why you think it's too vanilla. I like the way they do it, but to each their own. In your system idea, how would you run accuracy?

[@Crazor2000]

For those who want a bit more mechanics for getting wild monsters, without having it being a complete pokemon campaign, might i have a suggestion for a good pokemon trainer-esk class? The kickstarter book, Heliana's guide to monster hunting has a class that's basically a pokemon trainer called the "Tamer", that basically allows you to capture creatures in dnd, and train/fight with them. heck you even carry them around in what's called a vessel. you can fight along them and train them and make them stronger It's very interesting, but be warned, it's definitly not a beginners class, and it has a bunch of limits on type of creatues, what the creatures can and can't do, and how many you can have at any given time. So if the appeal of catching creatures appeals to you, might i suggest the tamer (or you can play the pokemon fan rpg...)

[@Shalakor]

Yeah, tons of people have takes on how to do a beast mastery focused class, but Pointy Hat's here is a really cool middle ground on beefing up and combining Sidekicks and Companions concepts in a way that seems like it'd strike just the right balance of involvement with simplified action economy and letting the PCs be the main drivers of the campaign, while also not falling completely to the background.

[@Crazor2000]

@@Shalakor true, but i also like the tamer, since it's pretty indept and while the process is not as simple as pointy hats version, it does offer really interesting mechanics for fighting with your beast, like allowing self spells to be cast on the monster, swapping places, etc. that and you can actually tame creatures you find in the wild

[@Shalakor]

@@Crazor2000 Oh, wait, yeah, I was saying that there's no need for Pointy Hat to do a class like that since so many people have good ones already.

I am not really into Pokemon anymore, but I am so happy to see everyone so hyped about Pokemon españita. Hope everyone is having a great time playing it.

[@TheXafen]

No tenia ni idea de que fueses Español, me encantan tus videos y quiero animarte a que sigas haciendolos.

[@RaTicanD]

This is awesome. My current campaign is headed to an uncharted island filled with giant monsters and this is a perfect addition as hunting partners they can find and train there. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@NobodyDungeons]

Types are easy just add vulnerabilities and resistances based on the type.

[@Jw87563]

Not every Pokémon type fits in with dnd damage types. What would water or grass type be, for example? Converting Pokémon to 5e is not an easy thing to do.

[@Aurora_Lightbringer]

If you were going to do it as a collection type deal, you'd have a transfiguration spell which non-magic characters can somehow do that can only be done during a short or long rest, which replaces the companions abilities and appearance.

[@eviltrollface647]

You should make a D&D campaign based on a Pokemon fangame. Pokemon Wack is one of my favorites. Its story doesn't start off that well, but its quality improves over time and gets much better after you beat the Elite Four (which is only like 40% of the way through the game). The type chart is a bit complicated though.

I was literally worldbuiding a pokemon world like this for a while where everyone only has one partner, being inspired by other things like digimon and dnd, and maybe one day making it into a web comic. This was very inspiring and my original ideas align with yours in so many ways, thank you for making this video

[@BiggestGal]

Congrats on 100k!!! I think you have some pretty cool ideas here. Focusing on the threat that wild pokémon pose to humans as well as the bonds that PCs form with their pokémon are also IMO the two most important things to cover when translating Pokémon to a more narrative focused medium. That being said, there is in fact a very nice unofficial Pokémon TTRPG that runs on Storyteller called Pokérole, and I cannot stress enough how blown away I was by its rules, I highly recommend it, it's so good at translating the narrative fantasy of being a pokémon trainer, and it's completely free. I feel like playing a dedicated RPG based on Pokémon would be preferable than trying to implement it into D&D, and I say this as someone who absolutely loves D&D. However I think it's important for people to try more games instead of trying to dress the same game up in different costumes.

[@tobyd.8064]

Bro, you are literally the only youtuber I actively try to support by liking and commenting every single video... I fucking love what you are doing, and I'm now super hyped for your little animated DM'ing thingie you have coming up!

[@renamation8098]

I actually really like the plant pokemon you showed in ur video, the evolution of ultrigaria (dont know its english name) I had it in my party when I played pokemon lets go and got suprisingly attached. Its not my ultimate favourite (that goes to like multiple of the dog pokemon, there can never be enough dog pokemon) but it definetly has a special place in my heart :)

[@AmitsBanana]

This idea is really cool and I’m looking forward to the video with the stories from this campaign. Also, congrats on 100k. Also also, I know you said Pokémon types would be a very difficult thing to dive into, but how about just playing around with existing dnd damage types and giving every Pokémon two damage types they can deal and one or two resistances, and theming them around the theme of the individual Pokémon? I feel that could be made pretty simple but add a ton of flavor to the game.

[@gamemasteranthony2756]

Interesting...I actually created rules where you can play AS a Pokémon in Pathfinder. Even managed to try out a Decidueye Ranger for a friend's Ravenloft campaign. (He...uh...was pitying me because my Dwarf Paladin was getting craptastic rolls.)

[@Sleepy_Otakku0127]

I must say, I'm really proud to be part of one of your first milestones, getting 100k subscribers isn't easy, but it's easy to love your content, keep up the good work! (Btw, you're probably my favorite D&D youtuber!)

[@servantofdiscord3586]

Gotta be honest, Mr. Hat, it probably doesn't matter what you upload to your channel, I will watch it. I have watched a lot of dnd KZbinrs and am very particular about who I follow and who's content I watch. Your videos are top notch entertainment in this sphere. Your personality is magnetic, your jokes are funny, your content is solid and well laid out, and your creative works are fantastic. Your growth in these 7 months is well deserved.

[@WDSimp]

By having each character have a single monster and doing away with the pokeballs, you can pretty easily flavor this concept to any monster fighting series you like. Digimon, Medabots, etc.

[@TheBeardedEagle]

Man this campaign sounds incredible! I’d love to play in this world

[@dajim1342]

so pokemon finds Crystal Chronicles??? I'M SO INTO THISSSS!!!

[@JohnContractor]

This is such an amazing idea!! I've been thinking about it the past few days and because we live in a simulation or something, poof this video appears. Thank you for fueling my antics

[@schemage2210]

I mean, you could "almost" hand a PC a creature stat block with a pokemon name attached, and you "almost" have a pokemon mod for D&D without doing anything beyond that.... Obviously, what would define a good experience would be the right creature stat blocks with awesome abilities to use in combat, aka pokemon moves.

[@hydrarman7313]

This is fucking awesome! I've always wanted to run a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon oneshot so I might be using this for that 👀

[@323starlight]

Interestingly, a friend and I have been working on our own dnd pokemon crossover but more focused on the already DnD-esque Pokemon Mystery Dungeon spinoff series. We've used a bit of Pokemon 5e (which sadly is no longer available) but now we're just working on it from scratch. In fact just recently we've brought in DnD classes for more combat options. I'm playing a Torchic Psi Warrior Fighter named Kagu.

[@461weavile]

I'm also working on a PCs-are-Pokemon system. Let me know if you're interested in comparing notes.

[@323starlight]

@@461weavile sounds good. Most of what my friend made was mostly tailor made for specific PCs. For example, my PC is a Torchic who, thanks to being raised by a Gardevoir, has developed some psionic powers.

[@MollyPatricia5]

I am loving all the different series!! Great job

[@stormylobby]

Aaaa I’m so glad you made a the partner system free to access - I basically have an addiction of giving my characters monster/animal/etc buddies that are an important part of their backstory (probably of which was caused by me loving Pokémon from a very young age) but have never really felt like the way D&D tends to handle pets or familiars really fit, so to see a system like this emerge is super exciting!! Can’t wait to try it out in one of my campaigns!! :D

[@marykateharmon]

Making things from one thing fit into another setting is one of my favorite pastimes! I'm glad to see you do this for the D&D setting and look forward to any further ones you might make for this or for your D&D with a twists videos.

[@mortalitydoesstuff8965]

The mere mention of My Pokemon Ranch brings back memories of the time I shoved all my legendary Pokemon for that generation into the ranch to take cool pictures of them, and then my friend's Wii that they were all on got stolen

[@RaSummers]

there are soooo many pokemon on dnd wiki, most of them aren’t balanced but some are useable

[@ALEXTHECAMELEON]

now i imagine my entire party just chilling with Pokémon that correspond with their classes
